The , Instrument of Student Judicial
Governance, effective this month,
completely revamped the student court
system. What once were the men's and
women courts and men's and women's
honor courts have been replaced by the
Residence Courts and the
Undergraduate Court.
-The men's and women's courts each
contained seven members, all of the sex
of the court. These courts had original
jurisdiction in cases concerning Campus
Code violations and residence
violations.
The new north and south residence
courts have jurisdiction in cases of
"violations in University-approved
housing regulations promulgated by the
authorized agency."
Student Attorney General Nita
Mitchell said some confusion may arise
in the jurisdiction of some cases. "In
such an instance it is the duty of the
attorney general to make the decision as
to what court has original jurisdiction.
There is a need for a codification of .
residence laws and this is being worked
on."

On the same level as the residence
courts are the Interfraternity Council
Court (IFC) and the Panhellenic Court,
which deal with fraternities and
sororities. " ,
Students convicted in either of the
residence courts, the IFC court, or the
Panhellenic Court can appeal to the
U ndergraduate Court if- the case
warrants an appeal.
The Undergraduate Court, a
modification of the Honor Court, is
composed of 42 members from which a
panel for each trial is drawn. Of the 42,
1 8 members were elected by the Oct. 2
general election and 24 were appointed
by Student Body President Marcus
Williams.
By the provisions of the judical
reform document, the Undergraduate
Court has at least 14 women, 14 men
and 12 members of non-majority races.
When the Undergraduate Court hears
a case, seven members are impaneled
and, if the defendant requests, the court
will be constructed for sexual or racial
representation with four out of the seven
being of the appropriate sex or race.
All members of the Undergraduate
Court must be certified as qualified in
the knowledge of the student judicial
system.

The Undergraduate Court has
original jurisdiction "with respect to all
violations of the Code of Student
Conduct" by undergraduate students
except in cases with jurisdiction in the
Residence, IFC and Panhellenic Courts.
On the same jurisdictional level as the
Undergraduate Court are the Graduate
School Court and the courts in
professional schools of dentistry, law
and medicine. These are set up by the
student government agencies within
each school.
Petitions for appeals may be made
from the lower courts to the
Undergraduate Courts and then on to
the University Hearings Board on the
grounds of either insufficient evidence,
severity of sentence or violation of basic
rights. Appeals must be made within 96
hours of sentencing. .
The University Hearings Board, the
second level of appeals for residence
cases, consists of two faculty members,
two students and Fred Schroeder,
associate dean of student affairs.
A student's right to appeal does not
end with the University Hearings Board.
Cases then can to the Chancellor for
review. After the Chancellor, a case
might go to the president of the
University or to the UNC Board of
Trustees.
"In practice it has seemed to me that
appeals concerning procedural rights go
to the President from the Chancellor's
office," Chancellor Ferebee Taylor said.
"In.cases which concern the severity of
the sentence the appeal lies with the
Board of Trustees."
The Supervisory Board and the
Committee on Student Conduct oversee
the operations of the student judicial
system. The Supervisory Board has the
responsibility for certifying court

General's staff.
The Committee on Student Conduct
is made up of faculty and students, as is
the Supervisory Board. Its purpose is to
oversee the implementation of the
document on judicial governance and to
propose amendments to it
Unlike most federal and state judicial
proceedings, the student court
proceedings are closed to the public and
the press unless the defendant requests it
opened.
lt seems to me that the court is like a
juvenile court in that the people don't
know everything that is going on,"
Mitchell said. "It's not necessary for
people to know the names of who is
involved.
"I'm not implying that the students
are like juveniles, but 1 am saying that
they should not be crucified. The trial is
nobody's business."
Although the sixth amendment to the
IKS. Constitution guarantees that in a
criminal trial, "the accused shall enjoy
the right to a speedy and public trial,"
the attorney general said she feels that
the student trials are not
unconstitutional.
"If for any reason the defendant feels
that his trial should be opened, he can
open it to anyone," she said. "No one
can take this right away."
Mike Jones, former vice-chairman of
the Honor Court and now a member of
the Attorney General's staff, said it
might be better if the court proceedings
were open. "It would increase efficiency.
Members of the court would probably
be more efficient if things were open to
the public view."
Mitchell said she hopes the new
judicial system "will develop a balance
and continuity among all the courts.
The certification process will assure that
all courts move along in the same way."
"All of us who worked on the new
instrument felt we were engaged in a
worthwhile enterprise," Taylor said. "I
am hopeful and optimistic that the
changes made are beneficial."
Registration
Republican, Democrat and independent
voter registration has increased since last
April's primary by about the same
percentages as last year.
There are 24,960 Democrats registered, an
increase of 8 16. Republican registration is up
by 149 to 4,7 16 and independent registration
is now 1,941, up by 73. All three categories
increased by about three per cent.
Almost 700 registrations of persons who
have left Orange County were cancelled
while about 1,700 new voters registered. v

Applications are now being accepted for
the position of Carolina Union president.
Under a new system adopted by the Union
Board of Directors last month, Union
presidents will be chosen in November rather
in the spring, as was the case in past years.
The change has been made so that the
president can have a greater role in picking
Union speakers, performers and activities
during her or his term.
The next president will be chosen by the
Union Board of Directors Nov. 14 but won't
.take office until next spring when the term of
the present president, Betty George, expires.
In the meantime, the president-elect will be a
non-voting member of the board of
directors. During this four-month period
selection of members of Union committees
and planning of Union activities for the
following year can begins xrn.Ts
c Any regularly enrolled student is eligible
for the position and may pick-up an
application at the Union desk. An interview
committee will meet with all candidates Nov.
7.
The position offers no pay and requires a
minimum of 15-20 hours of work per week.
