together for a general "bull"
session.
To make the entire
weekend a success it will be
necessary that it be as
informal as possible and that
an atmosphere of "just drop
by and see what's happening"

Legislature
Monday night's meeting of
the Student Legislature never
was. Because a quorum of the
representatives failed to show
up, no votes could be taken.
Therefore, after spending a
fruitless half-hour waiting in
the hope that enough
members might straggle in,
the meeting was
adjourned. Actually, it may
still be going on, for there
were not even sufficient
members present to vote on
adjournment.

DORM SEARCH CONDUCTED
Red Cross Requests
A nationwide appeal for
funds to provide life-giving
help for some three million
Pakistan victims of what may
be the worst disaster in world
history has been launched by
the American National Red
Cross, according to Joseph L.
Berry, Chairman of the
Greensboro Chapter.
In announcing the urgent
need for funds, American
Red Cross president George
M. Elsey advised Red Cross
Chapters that reports of the
devastation and suffering out
of the Ganges River Delta
section of East Pakistan
exceed anything his
organization or the League of
Red Cross Societies in Geneva
have ever before encountered

in a nature-caused
catastrophe.
'The ultimate death toll is
beyond calcuation," Mr.
Elsey said,"and 1 was advised
by League Secretary General
Henrik Beer from Geneva
that up to three million
survivors in the disaster area
are in desperate need of food,
shelter and emergency
medical aid. All resources of
the world Red Cross
organization and other relief
sources will be required to
prevent this from becoming
an even greater catastrophe
through starvation and the
spread of disease."
"Several contributions for
Pakistan Relief have been
received. We hope that many
individuals and organizations
in our community will
contribute to help meet this
urgent need."

Most of 1968 Dorm and
half of Milnei Dorm were
searched on Friday, Nov. 20,
in an attempt to locate stolen
goods. Members of the
student body backed by
administration conducted the
search.
This action was prompted
by a series of thefts on
campus culminated by a
break-in at the cafeteria and
thefts from an RC truck on
Thursday, Nov. 19. A large
quantity of meat, estimated
at over SIOO worth, other
food and a clock were stolen
from the cafeteria. Vandelism
occurred in the process of the
robbery--a window was
smashed and a screen was slit.
Seven cases of soft drinks
were taken from a Royal
Crown Cola truck parked
outside of Milner Dorm.
This is not the first record
of such occurrances. The
cafeteria management claims
the cafeteria has been entered
and had food stolen on
numerous occassions since
the commencement of the
shcool year. None has been
reported with the exception
of this last incident. The
Royal Crown Cola truck,
noting shortages of drinks at
the ends of certain runs,
instituted a policy of
counting cases after each
delivery. Shortages were
found to be a result of the
Guilford College stops.
Knowledge of such thefts
was widespread among the
student body. Prompted by
the fact that certain
individuals were stealing from
the students as a whole, Carl
Southerland, senior, went to
Dean Vicki Morgan's office to
see what could be done to
stop future thefts. Later, Joel
New, president of the student
body, entered the discussion.
Eventually, Morgan,
Southerland, New, Jim
Newlin Assistant Business
Manager and Don Woodside,
Director of Student Financial
Aid made a joint decision to
go to Milner and '6B to search
for the six large boxes of
meat and the seven cases of
drinks. These two dorms were
designated to be searched
first because of astudent's
report that he saw others

carrying boxes fitting the
description in that general
direction. The RC truck had
been parked outside Milner at
the time of the robbery.
At this time, the group
tried to contact Cliff
Director of Student Personnel
and head residents of each
of the dorms in question.
None could be reached. Dean
Lanier was out of town.
This reporter was
summoned to accompany the
search as an observer. With
that, the group, consisting of
Southerland, New, Morgan,
and Woodside proceeded to
Milner. Head Resident Ken
Schwab was not present hut
two Resident Assistants, Mike
McMillan and Dave Brewer
were located to aid in the
search. The two RAs,
Southerland, and this
reporter proceeded to the
third floor and began a
systematic room-by-room
search. New, Woodside, and
Tom Queisser, head resident
of English Hall, went to '6B
dorm to begin the search
there. Those involved there
were Denny Robie, Gray
Kimmel, Bucky Ward and
Baily Evans in addition to
those mentioned above.
In Milner, the door to each
room was knocked on. If a
student answered, the
situation was explained, and
permission was asked to
search the room. No student
refused.
However, if no one
answered, the room was
entered via a master key
provided by Jim Newlin. The
room was entered by at least
two people, or in a later case,
by one while this reporter
observed. The searchers'
in accordance with
Vicki Morgan's recom
mendation that only the
stolen items were
sought-anything else was to
be overlooked and
immediately forgotten. This
was followed to the letter.
A typical room check
lasted at most one minute.
The general routine was to
take a cursory glance under
each desk, open the closet to
the section holding clothes,
and finally to open the top
cabinets. Nothing was
searched closely, as the boxes
and drink cases were large
and would have been obvious.
The same general procedure
was followed in '6B dorm.
The search covered most of
'6B dorm-only a few rooms
were not entered. Almost all
of third-floor Milner, and the
North end of second : floor
Milner were searched. The
search of Milner was halted
upon the arrival of Ken
Schwab, who expressed his
opinion against entering
locked rooms. The RA's, who
continued on page
