Calendar, Founders, and Downtown Move
Discussed by Faculty
by Tori Potts
The Guilford College
faculty discussed the calendar
for next year, the movement
of the downtown campus, and
the renovation of Founders
hall in a meeting held in the
Moon Room on Wednesday
February 14.
Earl Redding, the faculty
clerk opened the first meeting
of the semester with a period
of silence. The minutes of the
December meeting were read
and after some discussion
were approved. During the
December meeting the faculty
had approved an Associate of
Arts Degree in Business, and
had approved a proposal that
3 credit courses from other
schools in the consortium
would transfer to Guilford as
three credit coures, but would
fulfill core requirements.
After some discussion
Earl Redding suggested that it
be added to the minutes that
the faculty recommended that
the Educational Policies Com
mittee continue to study the
problem of how three credit
courses should be transferred
to Guilford, where all courses
carry four credits. The faculty
felt that this problem should
be particularly examined in
relation to the language re
quirement.
President Grimsley
Hobbs reported that the
downtown campus has been
sold for $961,000 and that
two adjacent lots have been
sold for an additional $70,-
000. This sum will be paid in
five annual installments. He
stated that the administration
is hopeful that the downtown
programs can be transferred
to the main campus without
loss. According to Dr. Hobbs,
the downtown division
students will benefit from the
move through increased
faculities and an improved
schedule of night time
courses.
Dr. Hobbs stated that
the downtown facilities will
be moved in May. The current
bookstore will be made into
office space and the present
student union building will be
the center of downtown divi
sion operations. The down
town administration will re
main intact.
On March 18. the
bookstore will be moved into
its new facilities in the base
ment of Founders. It will be
located in the present game
room, beside the grill room.
Dr. Hobbs reported that
Guilford has raised $857,000
toward the renovation of
Founders Hall, which is
$117,000 over the minimum
goal. Efforts are now being
made to raise the necessary
funds to build the two wings
of the building, which will
contain a theatre-classroom,
activities rooms, and
bookstore facilities. An ad
ditional $450,000 will be
needed for the construction of
the wings
Viola Recital
Jerry Horner, faculty vio
list with the N.C. School of
the Arts, will give a recital on
Friday, February 23, at the
Winston - Salem Church of
Christ. Rebecca Penneys will
be the accompanist. No ad
mission will be charged.
The remodelling of
Founders is scheduled to
begin in mid-May. Dr. Hobbs
reported that tenure has been
granted to Jim Gifford in
history, Louis Fike in political
science, Richard Morton in
English and Elwood Parker in
mathematics. Promotions
were granted to Elwood
Parker in math. Ken Kaufman
in psychology. William
Fulcher in biology and J R.
Boyd in math.
Paul Zopf in sociology
and Wm Burris in political
science have been granted a
one year leave of absence for
next year.
Dorothy Brown and
Marietta Forlaw have been
appointed as new members of
the Board of Trustees, and
Hugh Moore has been given
emeritus status on the Board.
Cyril Harvey, Academic Dean,
presented the proposed
calendar for 1973-74. He ex-
Eppinette Jailed For Draft Resistance
by Tim Collins
Chuck Eppinette. Presi
dent of North Carolina
Resistance, was sentenced
last Friday to a year in prison
after a U.S. District Court jury
found him guilty of two
charges of non-possession of
draft cards.
Following his senten
cing. the defense gave notice
of appeal and Chuck is now
free on bond.
Eppinette had testified
Thursday that he returned his
draft card to his local Board in
New Bern. He said he felt he
"could no longer continue to
support the existence of an
institution whose primary
reason for existence was the
destruction of human beings."
The prosecution argued
that in so doing Chuck was in
Residential
Jobs Available
Applications are now
available in the Housing Of
fice for the positions of Re
sident Coordinator and Resi
dent Intern. Students who
are interested in these posi
tions should fill out the appli
cation and talk with Ken Sch
wab, Director of Residential
Operations. Each application
should be supported by let
ters of recommendation from
fellow students and a faculty
member. All applications and
letters of recommendation
should be received by the
housing office no later than
Friday, March 9, 1973.
This will be the third year
for this program in our resi
dence halls. The use of stu
dent coordinators and interns
has helped to get the student
body more directly involved
in the operations of our resi
dence halls. Because of this
direct involvement of stu
dents, there have been several
beneficial changes made in
each of the living units. Any
student who is interested in
such a position should con
tact the Housing Office or
someone who is now serving
on the housing staff.
plained that last year a two
year calendar had been ap
proved and that the Deans of
the Consortium agreed that
the calendars tor the three
schools in the Consortium
must agree only on the begin
ning and ending dates of the
semester.
According to the
proposal, first semester would
begin with registration for
freshmen on Saturday August
25, 1973. Upperclassmen
would register on Monday
August 27, and classes would
begin on Tuesday August 28.

clear violation of the Selective
Service act which requires a
registrant to have in his
possession both his Selective
Service registration certificate
and his classification notice.
While conceding that
Eppinette did not have his
draft cards in his immediate
personal possession, the
defense based its case on two
issues: selective prosecution
and the concept of construc
tive possession
The defense attempted
to establish the fact that the
government usually did not
prosecute individuals for this
violation of the Selective Ser
vice Act and had arbitrarily
picked Chuck out due to his
effective organizing and anti
war activity. The FBI refused
to furnish statistics on the
number of arrests and convic
tions it had made for non
prossession of draft cards,
Therefore the defense was left
with only one alternative, to
present witnesses who were
willing to testify that they had
violated the same law,
notified the government of
their violation, and had never
been prosecuted. This was an
attempt to convince the jury
that Chuck's prosecution was
selective even though the
complete statistics were un
available. Judge Dupree
refused to allow the jury to
hear this testimony despite
the fact that the only other
arrest the government could
point to had been made the
preceeding Monday and to a
witness in Chuck's case He
did allow the testimony to be
made for the record and in the
abscence of the jury in case of
appeal. Guilford College stu
dent Tim Collins and ap
proximately 10 others
testified that they were in
non-possession of their draft
cards, that they had notified
the government of their non
possession and that they had
never been prosecuted. This
issue will probably play a
major role in Chuck's appeal
"Constructive
possession" is a commonly
used legal concept whereby
an individual may be ruled in
Four Wednesdays would
be used for classes during the
semester: August 29 - to
make up for Monday as a
registration day, October 17 -
the day before fall break ,
October 24 - the day after fall
break, and November 21 - to
make up for Thanksgiving
Day.
This calendar would
provide a six day fall break in
October. This break was
scheduled because many
faculty and students ex
pressed the need for a break
in the middle of the semester
possession of an object even
though it is not in his im
mediate personal possession,
provided that he has effective
control of that object. This
concept is most often used to
convict on drug charges. For
example, if Chuck had mailed
a kilo of heroin to his draft
board to be kept in his file, he
could have been convicted of
possession of heroin.
Therefore, the defense main
tained that Chuck Eppinette
had been in possession of his
draft cards the entire time.
Although the judge did allow
this argument to be admitted,
it apparently failed to impress
the jury.
When Judge Dupree
ordered the defendant to rise
for sentencing, approximately
thirty spectators rose and
stood near their seats. Judge
Dupree offered those standing
the opportunity to sit down,
leave the court, or face im
mediate incarceration for con

minutes there were only nine
left standing. A spokesman
for the group, who identified
himself as William Ramsey of

were defendants, along with

Ramsey was found in

by Chuck's lawyer who main
