Police arrest
students on
drug charges

In the past two weeks, three
Elon College students have been
arrested on drug charges in two
unrelated incidents.
On April 17, Patrick Pfuhl,
a junior from Charlotte, was
arrested at Unit 5 of the Five
Villas Apartments. Pfuhl is
charged with five counts of
trafficking LSD. Two of the five
charges are level III. This
category is for possessing and/or
selling or otherwise trafficking a
quantity of 100 or more dosage
units but not more than 500
dosage units. He is facing three
charges at Level II, which is for
trafficking LSD at a dosage unit
quantity of 500 or more but less
than 1000 dosage units.
Pfuhl's arrest came as a
result of a four month undercover
operation by the State Bureau of
Investigation. Detective Mike
Wosnick of the Elon College
Police Department said that the
undercover agent purchased a total
of 809 hits in three meetings
with Pfuhl.
Detective Wosnick defined a
hit as being a single dosage of
the drug. "It is like one^pirin
or Tyenol capsule. LSD is sold
by dosage units because there is
no weight to it. A dosage unit is
an arbitrary quantity depending on
how pure it is. It is not a
scientific measurement,"
Wosnick said.
Wosnick said Pfuhl's
cooperation has led to more
arrests being made in Charlotte.
Twenty-three hundred dosage
units were seized in an operation
that involved the.State Bureau of
Legislature
proposes cut
in tuition grant
Murray Glenn
The Pendulum
It seems that no educational
institution can escape the budget
cutting measures of the North
Carolina Legislature.
The state legislature has
recommended to the North
Carolina General Assembly that
the North Carolina Legislative
Tuition Grant be cut by three
percent for the second consecutive
year. This means that North
Carolina residents who arc enrolled
in an undergraduate program at one
of the state's 37 independent
colleges on a full-time basis could
be paying $34 more to attend
school in the fall. The recom
mended grant reduction means that
the students would be getting
$1,082 instead of the $1,116 that
was appropriated for the 1990-91
school year.

On April 27 at about 12:30
a.m., two Smith Hall residents
were robbed of goods totaling an
estimated $1,500. Among the
items taken were an AM-FM
stereo receiver, a double cassette
player and assorted compact discs.
George Harvey Havelow, a
student from Fayetteville State
University, was arrested at about
6:18 a.m. in connection with the
crime.
According to Elon College
Police Chief Dan Ingle, two Elon
students were also arrested.

Police Department
When asked if this was an
isolated incident as far as having
college students dealing at the
trafficking level, Wosnick
responded, "No, absolutely not.
There are students here who are
trafficking in marijuana, cocaine
and probably trafficking in
amphetamines. This is
information that we gather. This
is not firsthand, proof positive
information, but it is information
that we feel is accurate and
deserves to be looked into."
Pfuhl was released on a
$25,000 bond. He is back at Elon
attending classes while he awaits
his trial. Wosnick said that the
trial will probably be delayed up
to six months because the local
court system is so backed up.
In an unrelated incident, the
Alamance County Vice and
Narcotics Unit arrested Elon
