WILLIAMSBURG, Va.
(UPI) - The College of William
and Mary was ordered Tuesday
by a federal judge to readmit
four students suspended for
violating rules regulating
coeducational visitation in
dormitory rooms.
U.S. District Judge John A.
MacKenzie of Norfolk issued a
temporary injunction knocking
down the suspension of
Emerald Erickson and Thomas
Buehler, the students who had
brought suit against the school
for the suspension.
Carter O. Lowrance,
executive vice president of the
college, said Buehler, Miss
Erickson, Michael Gery and
Janet Bernstein all would be
contacted immediately along
with their parents that the
students could be readmitted
to class.
Miss Erickson and Buehler
testified last week that their
constitutional rights has been
broken by the suspension.
"The court made it clear it
does not question the right of
the college to promulgate
proper regulations concerning
these matters," said Lowrance.
But he added that "the college
administration and the
committee of the Board of
Visitors will thoroughly
review" the rules within the
next few days.
Buehler and Miss Erickson
were suspended after violating
.the rule by being in Buehler's
dormitory room March 3 and
4. A similar incident resulted in
the suspensions of Gery and
Miss Bernstein.
-Several students testified at
a hearing before Judge
MacKenzie that they felt the
rule was rarely enforced and
cited instances in which the
regulation was violated without
punishment.
Saturday, a group of several
hundred students met on the
campus to discuss possible
future action concerning the
matter. They voted to
postpone a suggested
"dorm-in" until MacKenzie's
decision was made known.
; College President Davis Y.
Paschall met with a delegation
of students and said he would
agree to have a study made of
other campuses concerning
social regulations with possible
recommendations to be drawn
up for board action.

Miss Sanders has been active
in bringing the movement to

subject was broadcast in
November, and more recently
she covered the sit-in of the
offices of the Ladies Home

"It's absolutely
astonishing," Miss Sanders said,
speaking of what she'd seen of
the movement across the
country. "When we started
looking into this, I had no idea
it had grown so much. There
are chapters on just about

"The ideology has spread,
and it is really very much the
same from campus to campus.
"They seem to be a very
reasonable group," she
continued, "but there are some

The DTH has received no

Four UNC students will
appear before the University's
Hearing Comttee tonight to
face charges of violating the
trustees' disruption policy.
The four are the first
students to be tried under the
policy which was passed by the
Board of Trustees last summer.
Robert Mellott, UNC law
professor who will act as
prosecutor for the University,
last week said he expected the
defendants to ask for a
continuance because they have
had only a week to prepare for
the hearing.
He said the continuance
would probably be granted.
The four were charged with
the violations last week. Three
black students Alex
Willingham, Jack McLean and
Glen Williamson were
informed of the charges against
them Wednesday night.
The fourth student, John C.
Wheeler, was informed of the
charge against him Friday.
University officials have
made no comment on the
charges other than to say that
they had been made and to
outline the procedures
followed in bringing the
charges.
The charges grew out of a
clash Dec. 4 between pickets
and Chapel Hill police at
Lenoir Hall during the food
service strike.
McLean and .Wheeler were
among those convicted on
criminal charges growing out of
that incident, and their cases
are currently being appealed.
Ben Loeb, chairman of the
Board of Inquiry which
conducted the University's
investigation, Monday denied
that the charges were a result
of pressure brought on the
University by state government
officials in Raleigh.
"We were contacted by
anyone in Raleigh or South
Building at any time," he said.

BSM Attacks
UNC Policy
The Black Student
Movement (BSM) has issued a
statement condemning the
University's disruption policy
on grounds that it
"systematically eliminates any
person opposing the bigotry of
the Consolidated University."
Lee Stiff, minister of
off-campus affairs, said the
BSM opposes the policy since
it is now aimed toward the
infringement of black students'
rights.
"Like mindful subjects, the
student body must be content
to follow the dictates of these
bigots and continue the normal
operations or functions of any
of the component institutions
of the University," Stiff said.
According to Stiff, the BSM
thinks the Student Legislature
now has enough power to deal
with the "so-called crimes" in
the disruption policy.
"Why have student courts
or even a student government
if the students under that
government are not protected
from alien forces," he said.
"No one is more aware of
the systematic, calculated
attempts to deprive students of
their rights," Stiff said, "than
the black students of the
Consolidated University.
He said BSM is asking
support from any person or
group who opposes the
disruption poliy.
The BSM has also asked that
anyone 'Svho is willing to
stand up against the disruption
policy and challenge the
legitimacy of it" call Stiff
between 2-3 p.m. any day. The
telephone number of the BSM
office is 9 33-5208.
