student and pet will both be
evicted. Follow-up of war
nings from the Dean of
Housing are a rule, not an ex
ception, and nearly every
violation reported has
resulted in the pet’s im
mediate and permanent
removal, or the eviction of the
student. But the “other side”
of the campus has not been
quite so conscientious. The
academic and top ad
ministrative employees of this
college enjoy a wealth of
assumed privileges to in
sulate their positions from the
students they teach. Seveal
professors have long enjoyed
the close proximity of their
residences to their place of
employment. Unfortunately
several of these professors’
dogs have found their owners’
place of work and rather than
train the dogs to stay away, as
one would if located near a
highway, the concept of
privilege was expanded to
include the presence of
these particular dogs. Ac
cording to state and school
laws “faculty dogs” were and
are illegal; Dr. Hart’s letter
obviously included faculty
dogs as subject to removal.
But the faculty-policing body
was not nearly as con
scientious (or simply laced in-
tegriy) as the student-policing
body. Until recently, that is
how the matter has stood.
This year an unusually large
number of stray dogs have ac
cumulated on campus, promp
ting many faculty and studen
ts to question whether or not
something should be done. In
addition, an increasing num
ber of students have illegally
tried to hide dogs in the dor
ms. Several students forced to
get rid of dogs wondered why,
when so many strays and
faculty dogs were left free to
roam. At least one student
went to the trouble to remove
all identification from her own
dog in order to afford it the
“freedom” of a campus dog.
The Housing Office in addition
was advised by ad
ministration higher-ups to do
something to remove the dogs
from campus. Two alter
natives were possible for
removing strays; if the
Laurinburg dogcatcher was
called, he would be obligated
to try to catch the dogs. But
the dogcatcher has a habit of
legally shooting on the spot
any stray dogs he cannot cat
ch with reasonable effort. To
avoid this, the Housing Office
had to remoe the strays, and
Dr. Hart was informed of this
plan before spring break. An
impartial faculty member
claims that within the past two
weeks another letter was
^stributed to faculty saying
that all dogs found on campus
had to and would be removed.
On April 18 a member of the
Housing Office and a con
cerned student caught as
—^ny dogs as they could find

on campus and released them
^armed six to eight miles
off campus rather than take
them to the Laurinburg pound
on the advice of several people
famdiar with the often deadly
holding pens at the pound for
new dogs. As chances for sur
vival at the pound for any dog
are very slim, the dogs were
released in an area of many
farms providing them with an
excellent probability of adop
tion. Very soon afterwards the
Housing Office representative
was accused of stealing and
Illegally abandoning a dog, by
a faculty member who has for
years blatently refused to
keep his dog off campus The
Dean of the CoUege, whose
decision one would assume
constitute official policy fur
thCT stated that the Housing
Office was doing a good job in
removing strays, but that
faculty dogs were not to be
removed. A deliberately
misguiding poster has been
put on the lost-and-found
board claiming the dogs were
stolen. Nowhere does anyone
admit the obvious truth: am
ple wamig was given that all
dogs on campus were liable to
be removed at any time by an
authorized persons, and that
the two dogs were legally and
propfe% removed and dis
posed of. As hopefully matur
ing students are we to be in
duced to stop thing every
time a professor speaks. Are
we to accept half truths, con
tradictions and logic bor
dering on immaturity from
our instructors and ad
ministration. . This school ad
vertises “teachers not above
the class” . . .are you sure..
Finally, is the student body of
this school ready to find the
truth, or are we all content to
accept whatever fantastic
story we are told.. I hope that
anyone not believing what is
written in this letter will ask
someone who knows what hap
pened, rather than his room
mate.

Reville was not available to
verify this statement. Salzler
gave reasons for the proposed
procedure. There are several
alternatives for removing
stray dogs. One would be to
take them to the Pound.
Salzler claimed that the con
ditions in the Pound are so
poor that a movement has
been started in Laurinburg to
organize a humane society to
^ke legal action against the
Pound as violating state law
Therefore, he stated that to
take dogs to the Pound would
probably harm them; he ad
ded that a dog was reported to
have contacted rabies from a
rat while in the Pound. A
second alternative would be to
call the Board of Halth to send
a dog warden on campus to
remove the dogs. A statement
made by Salzler in regard to
the warden’s res^nsibility
was verified by an official at
the Scotland Countv H_^lth
Department. If the warden is
unable to catch the dogs, he is
legally bound to shoot the
animal if the warden has been

Salzler had no identification
also. Salzler said that a
student who owns Elsie had
been asked to remove the dog
or place it in a kennel. The doe
was put in the kennel for a day
or two; then, according to
^Izler, the girl took her out of
the Kennel and removed all

said, therefore, if the dog is
found she won’t be returned;
he added, if Ludlow’s dog does
have identification, she will be
returned when found;
however, Ludlow does not hold
much hope for his dog. He said
that she was too old to last and
was “probably dead now ”
Salzler added that he had
spent 350 miles looking for the
dog in token of feeling for
Ludlow’s family.
Ludlow said that he heard
rumors on Friday about the
disappearance of Falppy.
These rumors were confirmed

feough a conversation with
Salzler. Ludlow said Salzler
gave him directions to the spot
vjere he dumped the dogs.
These directions, when
foHowed, ended up the the
middle of Gibson. After a
second set of incorrect direc
tions, Ludlow sad he talked
with Decker and again with
Salzer -a4 found the spot on
Sunday afternoon according to
a third set of directions.
As for legal action, Ludlow
has talked with lawyers and
was scheduled to talk with the
county prosecutorf however,
he said he didn’t want to hurt
Salzler, but he wanted to
change the school’s policy to a
new one. He said his first con
cern was the dogs; secondly,
he wishes to awaken the ad
ministration to the
thoughtlessness of the people
within it.
Ludlow said he had been ex
pecting he might have to one
day retrieve Flappy from the
Pound; that, in his opinion,
would have been reasonable.
He said that his dog very
rarely had been near the
cafeteria and the' dorms.
Ludlow also added that the ad
ministration should have
taken action sooner instead of
bitching without doing
anything; however the action
taken was not in his opinion in
accordance with the laws
governing his private proper
ty. It was, in his words, “a sick
and stupid” thing to do.
To date, the dogs have not
been found. In general cam-
piK sympathy seems to lie
with Professor Ludlow;
however, it is evident that fur
ther investigation is called for
. The problem is due to come
up before the next Student Life
Committee meeting to see if
the rules concerning dogs on
campus should be enforced.
