center, have been proposed.
Also, some of the necessary
equipment for operation of the
new building has been donated by
the family of the late Dr. John P.
Harloe. Dr. Harloe was a physician
at the Providence Medical Center
in Charlotte.
Credit for the administration
supervision of the project is due
to Mr. Donald McKay and thanks
especially to Chancellor D.W.
Colvard. Originally the North
Carolina legislature had turned
down a proposal for an
appropriation of money for the
infirmary. It was following this
that Dr. Colvard met with the
legislators in Raleigh and through
his debate and dedicated work,
swayed the General Assembly to
reconsider the matter and, finally
to O.K. the project.
While enthusiasm among those
associated closely with the new
center is high, the average student
knows very little or cares very
little about just what’s going on
“down there in the woods.”
Student reactions to questions
about the center ranged from
classic phrases such as: “I’m
indifferent”; “Where is the new
infirmary?”; “I think every high
school should have one.”; to “I
thought that was a tennis court
locker room.”
But one student took at least a
critical view of money spending
by the university; “It beats the
hell out of spending money on
patios and flower beds.” And one
even stated that it would “make
room for more living space in the
dorms.”

students. Kahn, who is not
renowned for his publicspeaking
ability, felt that he could best
show his talents by interacting
with students.
The Moore Residence Hall Court was in session on February 22,
1971 in the Chancellor’s Conference Room. The accused (male and
female) were charged with violation of the University’s visitation policy
in that a female was found in the room of a Moore Hall resident at
11:00 a.m.
The accused entered a plea of guilty.
The Court found the accused guilty as charged. The Court extended
the sentence of Practical Penalty which provided that the accused (male
and female) would not be allowed on any of the upper floors, second
floor and up, of Sanford Hall and Moore Hall respectively for a period
of six (6) weeks.
A petition for an appeal was filed on February 24, 1971 with the
Court on the grounds the sentence was too harsh. The Student Court
met in closed session to review the case on March 8, 1971. The sentence
of the Moore Residence Hall Court was upheld by the Student Court.
Therefore, the sentence went into effect as of March 8, 1971.
