I The Carolinian December 6,1977 LV1» Gif .v/ The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Please CaN Our HotJiac: 3794041 First Case Heard Under New Academic Honor Policy BY RIC MARSHALL Managing Editor UNC-G's newly approved Honor Policy was put to the acid test last Wednesday as a 7 member panel of students and faculty heard its first Honor Code violation at 2:00 p.m. in Phillips Lounge, EUC. The student before the board was accused of falsifying data and forgery. Attorney General Kevin Jarvis presided over the panel which con-sisted of Dr. Anne Baecker, Dr. Ronald D. Cassel, Gary Eblan , Thomas G. Hewitt, Dr. Walter Puterbaugh, and Vonna Viglione. The hearing was conducted in an informal manner. Both the student and the professor were given an op-portunity to relate their side of the case and to call witnesses for testimony. The student allegedly called his professor on the evening prior to an exam, and explained that he had broken his arm. He said that he was unable to study because of medication that he was taking, and that he would have to go to his per-sonal physician the next day to see about possible re-setting of the arm. The next day, however, the pain had WUAG Business Manager Reprimanded Paul Cecere BY RICH INNES WUAG business manager, Paul Cercere, was issued a formal letter of reprimand and placed on a three month probationary period following a University Media Board (UMB) hearing last Thursday con-cerning a payroll overdraft by the radio station. Appropriations Chairperson, Thomas Devine noticed on Nov. 15 that paychecks for the station for the months of August and Septem-ber were more than was alloted by Student Government. Devine, con-ceerned that Student Government, (SG), might lose money on the over expenditure, reported the matter to UMB Chairperson Peter Rutledge. According to Devine, the over-draft involved a total of 25 hours, or S57.50. Cercere, who was appointed business manager last spring, had filed for payment of more weeks in August than were alloted for. "I did not know how many weeks were in the pay period," he said. According to Cecere, Devine had informed him that he had-over-filed for salaries for August, and that this amount would have to be taken out of September checks. WUAG did not file for September on time, but submitted September payroll along with the October payrole to the newly formed UMB for approval. Lora Lynn Johns, Business Manager for UMB, stated that Cecere did not inform her that fun-ds needed to be deducted from the September payroll. Devine found when picking up the October payroll that the August overdraft by WUAG had not been balanced, and there was an ad-ditional overdraft for the month of September. Cecere maintained that he had never filed for more than the alloted number of hours in any given week, and attributed the problem to a lack of communication between himself and Devine. "At this time I did not know that there were partial weeks" said Cecere, refering to the fifth calander week in some months. Joyce Ramsey, station manager for WUAG, said that any mistakes in the payroll were "not deliberate." Addressing the UMB Cecere said, "I have no intention of taking anything that doesn't belong tome." Jim Allen, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, speaking as an ex-officio member of the UMB said "There appears to be no deliberate attempt to falsify the time sheets." According to Rutledge, the disciplinary action taken by the board was for "negligence" of bookkeeping practices on the part of WUAG. Cercere is required to meet regularly with Lora Lynn Johns for the duration of the probationary period to discuss WUAG's books. If no infraction occurs during the three months, the probation will cease. A sub-committee of the UMB has been appointed to study ways of preventing the re-occursance of such problems in the future.

At 10:25 p.m.. one of the hostesses, Pat Harris, noticed some smoke In the North Dining Hall. Miss Bea Harris, the supervisor, was summoned to the scene and she notified bar superiors. Later, Ms. Harris toid this reporter that when she had arrived at the scene of the disturbance, she could see the smoke coming out of one of the furnace outlets in the wall. Within minutes of the fire truck's arrival, the source of the smoke had been found (in the bascmenU and was extinguished. One of the fur-nace's motors had evidently burned up and produced the smoke. No in-juries were reported and the building escaped damage subsided and the student decided not to report to his physician until a previously scheduled appointment three days later. The professor had alledgedly in-structed the student that he would be able to make up the exam after break. When the student reported to the professor to arrange a make-up date he was told that he would need a written excuse from his physician The student admitted that he had gone to his physician and ob-tained a Medical Excuse slip, which he proceeded to have altered for the appropriate date. The student stated that a UNC-G secretary had altered the slip for him on her typewriter, but refused to reveal her identity. The professor immediately suspected that the slip was altered and explained that the student would have to take a WF in the course or appear before a student-faculty panel for judgement. During questioning by the panel it was further revealed that the in-structor had been approached by a third student who complianed that the accused had "been out drinking" rather than in pain. This complaint was the origin of the in-structor's initial suspicions. In response to questioning by Dr. Puterbaugh, the accused stated that he felt that a zero on the exam in question would be an appropriate penalty for his offense. After a short deliberation period the panel returned a verdict of guilty. The student was instructed that he would be given a WF for the course, and that in addition he would have to report to the Coun-seling and Testing Center within cm week. In commenting on the work of the panel, Kevin Jarvis expressed op-timism for the future. Dr. Puter-baugh, who headed the committee which constructed and proposed the new Honor Policy, stated that the hearing had gone exceptionally well and likewise expressed enthusiasm for the controversial new system. The names of both the student and professor involved in this mat-ter were withheld at the request of those individuals; however, both names are a matter of public record, and are available in the Attorney General's office. Mother Nature made her presence felt yesterday la the form of driving rain, sending umbrellas and raincoats flying, and students scurrying about the campus like so many wet professors. «*»H»I>«'; Shipton Advises TSEB in Consumption of Leftover, "Illegal" Wine BY CL PRAIRIE Staff Writer Clarence Shipton, advisor of the Town Student Executive Board (TSEB) and Dean of Student Ser-vices, recently suggested a plan by which the TSEB could unload a quantity of wine left over from a TSEB wine and cheese-tasting party last February. The wine was in storage in Elliott Hall over the summer when a ruling by Charlotte's Judge McMiUian ruled that student tuition fees once paid, become state funds. As such, tuition fees cannot be used to pur-chase alcoholic beverages, Mc- MiUian ruled. Shipton advised TSEB to donate some of the wine to the Alumni Association. In a telephone inter-view he added, "I also suggested they donate some to students who were graduating, for a reception to be held December 12. The vast majority of the graduates this December are commuting students. Shipton stated that the wine was purchased with the best intent, TSEB having no idea of Judge Mc- MiUian's ruling. "We can't make the law retroactive. Mainly, my concern is the amount of wine, that it come under ABC Board Regulations. TSEB members thought they were in excess of the amount," Shipton said, adding, "1 don't necessarily think its' best benefit would -be pouring it down the drain." Town Student Executive Board was formed in January of this year for the purpose of bringing those UNC-G students living off campus a bit closer to campus life and to each MtTSEM is Senate Debates Changes BY BETH HAYES Staff Writer In a meeting last Tuesday night, senate discussed and voted on proposed constitutional changes. Following preliminary business a motion was made to accept all the proposals as written. The motion was then seconded, and a period of debate ensued. Most of the debate concerned the proposed policy for electing senators. Senator Kenneth Crum-bley proposed to delete class senators from the proposal. "There has been no class distinction for some time," said Crumbley. A number of senators disagree. "One of the most important changes in the constitution is the fact that it does allow for class distinction...Perhaps the University should go back to some sort of a class policy," said Town Student Barry Frasier. A senator then asked how the Administration felt about the new policy of electing senators. Vice- Chancellor for Student Affairs Jim Allen was given speaking privileges by the body. Allen said. "The student leaders had overwhelming support when they presented this (the proposals to the academic committee." The question of representation of special students was then brought up by tagarlih* senator Onda Linebergcr. The class of "special student" is one who is awaiting ad-mission to a certain academic program. "If they pay the fee." said Ms. "they should be is affected by its academic policies," said Vice-Chancellor Allen. "Since the student's identification with the University is not so much where he lives, the senators should be more academically founded." "It (the proposal) only works for those students who are in a class or a major," said University Court Chief Justice Adrian Whitney, "at the S.G. hearings November 17, " You will have overlapping and too large of a body...You will have no real direct person to make contact with." Vice-President Debra Turner had To be sure of this decision, Ms. Turner called a 5-minute recess during which she phoned two authorities on parliamentary procedures to establish the validity of the vote. "There is something very wrong with this vote," said one observer during the recess. Ms. Turner returned and announ-ced that she was counted in quorum and therefore her vote would not bring the necessary two-thirds majority. Therefore, the motion failed, 18-11. A motion was then made to reconsider the proposal, and it was croas- " she Vice-Chancellor Allen then the ttsnasnent that moat special students stayed in this category no more than one semester.

The "i tion of senators" proposal was voted on separately from the rest. The other chingei were accepted unanimously, and the senate once more moved into debate over the election of seators. Town Student Senator Steve Lambert made an amendment to alow 30 academic senators in ad-dition to the system of the statue quo. "I don't think UNC-G is ready to go all the way (concerning academics). We need phi ting In of acadeaaic senators. I realise people have worked vary hard I would like to see the senate remain as a is Town Fire Scare Reported In Coit Hal! BYCARENTATUM Staff Writer There was a fire scare in Coit Hall Tuesday, at 7:30am. It was reported by Eva Cowen, who "had just got-ten up early and walked into the hall, where I smelted smoke." In the bathroom "the smell was even wor-se, so 1 went down and told Kathy May, Coit's Floor Advisor, who pulled the alarm." After being alerted, Kathy May went with Eva to the smoke filled bathroom, but didn't see any ob-vious sign of a fire such as burning in the trash shoot. It was then that she pulled the alarm and reported to the Dorm Counselor, Mrs. Taylor. She instructed Kathy to "first make sure the side doors were open and that all the students were coming down correctly." Mrs. Taylor also intruded Kathy to "call the police." So she called campuse police, who in turn called the city police. After the campus police arrived, four fire engines arrived and the firemen were directed to the bathroom. Some firemen searched the bathroom and could not locate the cause of the smoke. The rest of the firemen were checking second and third floors and the basement where they again found nothing. By this time Coit's housekeepers had arrived. They reported that the bathroom fan had been in disrepair, so the firemen went back into the bathroom to check the fan, which was not putting out an obvious sign of smoke. The firemen turned off the switch to the fan and removed the grill, which was extremely hot. This was then reported to Mrs. Taylor who arranged for the Physical Plant to investigate and repair the fan that had caused such a gigantic disruption of sleep in Coit Hail. The Great Cotten-Bailey Debate Rages On! See Page 2 proposed an amendment to the Lambert amendment which cut down the number of senators to one senator for every I SO dorm residen-ts, 30 town student senators and 20 academic senators. "I'm dismayed that a town student would propose such an amendment," said town student Barry Frasier. "Cutting back the number does not cure the apathy at all. Town students contribute ap-proximately 63 percent of the money dispersed by senate." "They're (town students) just the tame as us (dorm residents), they just don't have to live here," said Winfield consul Michelle Isenhour. Hager's amendment failed by a large margin and once more Lam-bert's motion war on the floor. An additional friendly amendment was made by Kenneth Crumbley which stated that three unexcused absences of a senator would result in his Impeachment. Natarlin Best, Grogan senator, proposed to eliminate academic senators. a . .. "the department heads say they're willing to help you." said Barry Frasier. "Some of you probably believe in Murphy's Law...If you eliminate academic senators, those who say it's (senate) a too will be absolutely right."
