Student Meeting Is Called
Ugly, Anti-Hippie Movement
By JEAN PARVIN
Many students attacked a
recent Student Affairs
Committee ruling on a
possession of marijuana charge.
The issue caused much
controversy and confusion.
After the SAC suspended the
Trustees Invite
Students; Faculty
To Meetings
The Guilford College Board
of Trustees voted at their April
26 meeting to invite one
representative from the student
body and one from the faculty
to attend regularly scheduled
Board meetings. These
representatives will be able to
participate in the discussions
relating to the various items of
Board business.
The student Legislature at its
May 5 meeting chose Dan
Hulburt to be the student
representative. The Faculty
Affairs Committee will choose a
faculty representative.
Dr. Grimsley Hobbs
expressed pleasure concerning
the Board decision, stating that
"All are convinced that thiss
will have the welcome effect of
keeping channels of
informationnd communication
open among the various parts
of the Guilford community."

Friday, May 9, 1969
student for one semester, Bill
White, former Junior class
president launched a petition
which he says called for the
SAC to reconsider its stand on
marijuana violations invoking
stricter penalties in future cases,
not in the current case. About
300 students signed the
petition, and White presented it
to the Guilford administration.
Right now, White has the
petition in his hands. What will
become of it? "Not much of
anything," White states, "the
administration knows what it
was for and they are aware of
the response."
White heard many rumors so
they planned a discussion at the
1968 Men's Dorm. "The
purpose of the meeting,"
according to White, "was to
work through the system to
discuss things." Zack Bowe,
1968-69 Student Government
president, commented on the
confrontation saying, "It turned
into something ugly, a sort of
anti-hippie demonstration, when
it should have been a discussion
of the SAC."
Lowe stated he was
misquoted by local newspapers
on comments made about the
case. He had asked to be
referred to only as "an
informed source", as he didn't
want to get involved in the
controversy, and asked the
reporter to contact the new
student government president,
Dan Hulburt. Instead they used
his name.

miscontrued his statement, that
the most recent drinking
violations had been punished by
disciplinary probation, but that
in past years the preeede&t had
been two semesters suspension.
He explained his reasons for
attending the meeting called by
White saying, "My reason for
being there was because I didn't
feel there was a fair trial at
SAC; he (the student convicted
of marijuana possession)
shouldn't have been tried by
SAC before he was tried in the
Federal Courts. My concern was
whether the trial was fair and
we had gone by procedures
used in the past, not with the
ruling itself." He felt also that
the SAC was pressured from
outside by faculty and students.
