Recent Supreme Court
decisions involving the pu
blic and the press have made
Dr. Sally Ann O’Neill opti
mistic.
A major reason for her
optimism is the results of a
Supreme Court decision in a
Virginia case which involved
a Richmond judge closing a
trial hearing to newspapers
and public.
As a result of the closed
trial the Richmond news
papers sued the state of
Virginia.
The Supreme Court then
reversed the judge’s decision
R.C.’s create pleasant dorm life
By Teri MiUer
The title Resident Coun
selor implies facing many
challenges, responsibilities
and conflicts, but above all
it means that a resident
counselor must be a leader.
Carrying out the duties of
an R.C., a student must be
a “role-model”, says David
Joyce, head of the resident
life staff.
Residents must be able to
turn to their R.C.s for
counseling on the various
problems all students en
counter at some time. The
R.C. deals with hall resi
dents as a group as indivi
duals. The job sometimes
entails working with pro
blems as serious as suicide.
Therefore, it is vital that the
R.C. be concerned with each
resident.
Students must prepare and
train as resident counselors.
These students, about 4Q at
present, are required to take
Social Science 203, Prac-
ticum in Student Develop
ment. It is designed to teach
different approaches and
counseling techniques which
R.C.s will use in pursuing
their work as resident coun
selors.
A pre-service training pro
gram teaches these students
to understand the expecta
tions involved in being an
R.C. The program is taught
by current resident counse
lors 'tuider the guidance of
David Joyce, assistant dean
of Student Affairs.

life staff, along with three
acting R.C.s select new resi
dent counselors for the com
ing year. Besides the require
ment of an application and
interview, these students
must have a 2.0 average and
have been dorm residents for
a year.
Resident counselors do re
ceive pay monthly, but pay
is minimal. The resident life
staff looks for students who
are interested in "serving to
help, not to earn money,”
says Dean Joyce.
Dan Daly, resident coun
selor on second Smith, says
that students should know
.that “a resident counselor is
also a fellow student with
the same needs and desires
as everyone else.”
Dan also thinks that “as
an R.C., one has to deal
with many negative things,
but the quality of the posi
tive things makes everything
else seem trivial.” Daly de
fines the resident counselor-
ship as a “imique position
which involves representing
the college as w^ as the
students.”
“The jobs of an R.C. is a
24-hour job,” he says.
F.W. Lewis, R.C. on second
Sloan, agrees, saying. Ful
filling the responsibilities is
very time consuming.”

However, he adds, “In the

The college refers to the
resident counselors as para-
professionals. These students
are meeting the requirements
of a profession by practicing

stating that the First Amend
ment guaranteeing freedom
of the press and speech
implies that if the media
cannot gather news, they
lose the meaning of freedom
of the press and speech.
In another case in New
York, a trial judge closed
the court, but the Supreme
Court agreed in this case.
However, it stated that the
press is the vehicle for most
people to hear what goes on
in the trial.
Dr. O’Neill also pointed
out that the English court
has been open to the public
since the 17th century, and
that 45 states in the United
States now have constitu
tional provisions for open
courts.
Soon, the Supreme Court
will hear a case on cameras
used in the courtroom. Fed
eral courts do not allow
cameras, but states can de
cide whether or not to allow
them. The question, do
cameras restrict a fair trial
to or for defendants.
“Courts are moving in an
open direction,” said Dr.
O’Neill.

Students dine in Gibsonvilk
By Lowell Smith
When it comes to eating
out, most Elon students look
to fast food restaurants such
as Hardee’s or McDonald’s.
However, a trend has started
among students to sample
some of the Gibsonville eat
ing establishments. These
local eateries provide excel
lent home-style cooking at
good prices and a unique
atmosphere.
One of the local favorites
in Gibsonville is Pete’s Grill,
located on 137 Piedmont
Street. Pete’s Grill offers a
wide variety of fresh vege
tables that accompany one
of several entrees. Meals are
served in a semi-cafeteria
setting. The portions are big,
and the prices are reasonable
for the average college stu
dent. Pete’s Grill is open
from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Two restaurants in Gib-
sonville specialize in barbe
cue, a long time delicacy ii
North Carolina. Jack’s Bar-
beque, 213 West Main St.,
: serves barbecue and a var
iety of other meals at af
fordable prices in a friendly
atmosphere.
For a change of pace and
a good meal, Gibsonville
proves to be a good bet for
both.
