District Attorney
Calls On Students
By SCOTT BAKER
Assoc. New* Editor
Greensboro District Attorney, Mike Schlosser came
to a classroom in the Forney building yesterday after-noon
to urge students to testify against Revolutionary
Communist Party members who disrupted a Business
Data Processing class on October 10, 1979.
Before entering the classroom, Schlosser said "I'm
gonna be recruiting witnesses." He, and his in-vestigators
Sam Langford were "looking for people
who could identify" the individuals who disrupted the
class by walking in, distributing pamphlets, and
shouting Communist philosophies to the student
present.
"Subpoena everyone of them and
make them show up."
Schlosser told the students the purpose of his visit
was to establish factual evidence about the incident by
getting their account, and to explain to them what to
expect once they arrive in court. Schlosser em-phasized,
"We're going to need some of you to come
to court" in order to relate exactly what went on. He
said that RCP members are being charged with
"trespassing and disturbing a school meeting after
being forbidden to do so."
When asked about an expected sentence for these

Jerry Williamson (L) talks to Sam Langford
(middle) and D.A. Mike Schlosser
people, the D.A. said, "I'm going to see to it that
these people are prosecuted to the hilt," but the judge
does the sentencing.
Only about half the students in the class stayed to
listen to Schlosser. Sixteen students remained, after a
large group left at the end of class. Dr. Allen
Maynard, the professor of the class, said "I am super-irritated
by the people who were here and left," he
thought the D.A. should "drag everybody in this class
down there,...subpeona everyone of them and make
them show up."
A few students were worried about testifying again-st
the RCP members. One woman asked, "Is there
any danger to us personally, in our testifying?," fear-ful
of giving her name and address before defendants
belonging to an extreme-leftist faction. Schlosser
replied that he could ask the judge to allow the
student-witnesses to withhold addresses and simply
supply their name.
He also answered the students that he would make
an effort to keep them in court as little time as
possible. Court date is set for Thursday, December
6th.
"The more people that can come forward and add
something to the trial," Schlosser urged, "the better
the judge can sense the pulse" of what was going on
during the disruption. "We're not going to call thirty
people" into court, but if many show up, it would be
"a tremendous show of force" in telling the com-munity
that "we don't condone this type of activity."
"I would like a list of all the people in this class,"
Schlosser said. Maynard said, "I would be happy to
give the names of everyone in here." One student
asked "what about failure to show up for ihe sub-peona?,"
exemplifying the class' fear about iden-tifying
the defendants. The D.A. said that those sub-peonaid
who failed to appear in court would have to
submit a "show-cause" form which would explain the
reason why they could not attend.
In a show of hands, nine students felt that they
could positively identify the RCP members who en-tered
the classroom.
Maynard and a few students agreed that the female
activist present was "the instigator," saying she did
most of the talking. Campus Security Director, Jerry
Williamson reported that she got away and was not
apprehended. Maynard said she led the group into the
classroom, began distributing pamphlets and shouting
very loudly. He said he asked her what she was doing,
but "either she didn't hear me or ignored me, I don't
know."
Schlosser and Langford requested that each student
give a personal account of the incident to help them in
preparing the prosecution. Schlosser also spoke of his
uncertainty concerning the number of RCP members
who would show-up in court. He expected that "at
least one of them would not show, maybe more."
Schlosser also felt the trial would apear advan-tageous
to the RCP, in that it would "provide them a
forum," for their philosophies. The D.A. said that he
expects a conviction and an active sentence, but also
looks for the RCP members to appeal this case in the
superior court.

A rising number of assaults on
students by professors and teachers
across the nation has prompted the
federal government to appoint a
committee to assist in protecting
students from sexual harassment.

Reactionaries Win College Bowl
By EDDIE HARDIN
Newt Editor
The Reactionaries, after com-pleting
the season undefeated in five
games, won the College Bowl cam-put
Championship last week by
outdistancing the Insurgents.
The Reactionaries' team, Scott
Elliot, Bonnie Church, Paul Weller,
Jeff Vance, and Kevin Causey, will
have their names inscribed on the
championship trophy on display in
the trophy case in Elliott Center.
Also, each member of the team
received an Izod sportshirt printed
with "UNC-G College Bowl Cham-pions."
After the championship, eight
UNC-G students were named to the
University's Varsity College Bowl
Team, and these will represent
UNC-G in intercollegiate play this
spring. They are graduate students
Paul Weller, Barbara Spohrer, and
Winston Fitzpatrick, all of Green-sboro,
graduate student and
player /coach Jeff Vance of Kerner-sville,
senior Steve Hardy of Dover
Mass., juniors Lewis Jackson of
Mount Holly, N.J. and Parry
Wilvers of Raleigh, and freshman
Henry Wooten of Greenville. Both
Weller and Vance are holdovers
from last year's varsity team as well
as members of the Reactionaries.
All the players chosen were selec-ted
as all-stars from the recently
completed campus intramural
College Bowl tournament. In-tramural
competition in the quiz
game, matching teams of scholars
and trivia experts, begins every Oc-tober
at UNC-G.
The varsity will host Duke, High
Point, and UNC-Charlotte in the
first annual UNC-G Invitational
College Bowl tournament on
January 26 in Elliott Center. Tour-nament
games are open to the public
and will run from noon to 3 p.m. in
the Benbow Room of EUC. Three
weeks later, the squad will travel to
Charlotte for the regional cham-pionship
tournament against twenty
teams from colleges and universities
throughout North and South
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and
Kentucky. The winner of that tour-nament
will continue on to the
national championships in late
spring. Last year's UNC-G squad
finished third in the region, behind
Davidson College, which then went
on to win the national champion-ship
in Miami Beach and lose by five
points to Cambridge University in
the World Championship game in
London. The site for this year's
national championships has not yet
been determined, although San
Francisco and Notre Dr*ne. In-diana,
have been under con-sideration.
A national radio or television ap-pearance
this spring or early next
fall is also a possibility for the UNC-G
team. The College Bowl National
Game of the Week is carried every
Sunday night over the CBS Radio
Network, and negotiations are un
dcreway for national television
broadcasts of intercollegiate mat-ches
beginning in the spring.
In addition, the team hopes lo
play a special challenge match in
early February against a loam made
up of UNC-G faculty ascsnbers a*
part of their preparation for the
regional chasnpioathips lain thai
month. Any faculty member* in-terested
in competing in that game
can contact the varsity's coach.
Marshberger. at 379-5SI0
on Women's Educational Programs
is conducting the project. Reports
of such assaults have increased over
the past few years, especially reports
of faculty, staff, and other em-ployees
of high schools and colleges.
As a part of the study, the council is
requesting information from former
and present victims about their ex-periences,
and from any others who
may have knowledge of such
harassment.
According to the council, the
responses should describe the type
of harassment involved, the in-stitutional
and academic setting in
which the incident took place, and
action taken by the institution if the
incident was reported, as well as the
eventual outcome. The responses
need not provide information which
might identify the respondent.
The National Council will end
this first phase of the program in
January, although they welcome
comments on this issue at any time.
Depending on the nature, scope and
circumstances of sexual harassment
reported, the council may hold
hearings on this subject in the
future. Ultimately, the council
hopes to make recommendations
for appropriate federal action on
the problem, if warranted by the
project's findings.
The Advisory Council is a
presidentially appointed body,
established by Congress to advise
and report on attaining sexual
equity in education. Responses
should be addressed to the chair of
the council. Ms. Eliza M. Carney.

For Spring
GREENSBORO — A total of 263
courses in the late afternoon and
evening hours will be offered at
UNC-G during the second semester,
which will begin Jan. 9.
Altogether, educational courses
will be given in thirty-three
academic areas after 4 p.m., con-tinuing
until 10 o'clock on
weeknights.

some students compile un-dergraduate
credits, others can
work toward a master's degree or a
doctoral degree during the night
classes.
UNC-G officials noted that the
large number of courses are being
offered during the late afternoon
and evening in an effort to meet
educational needs of persons, who
for a variety of reasons, can attend
class most easily at those times.
Students who do not have a bac-calaureate
degree should submit
their application forms to the Ad-missions
Office by December 10.
Those with an undergraduate degree
should make application to the
Graduate School as early as possible
prior to the date of registration,

United Nations — The Security
Council Tuesday set Saturday
night for the start of a debate on
the crisis in Iran, testing whether
the United Nations can play an
effective role in winning release
of the 49 Americans held hostage
in Iran. Previously, the ad-ministration
feared that such a
debate would allow Iran a forum
for stating its grievances against
the Shah and the United States,
and deflect attention from the
plight of the hostages.
