May Queen To Be Crowned Sunday X * Penny Kyle H JB ■ nr-"r |V fat Mattocks TheQuilfonScw VOLUME LII| 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." m k. Joan Knight Martha Carter 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. He stated they also gHL M K Pam Atkins \ V , lilF / I i % Patricia Davis Number 28 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.
