  • Page 16 The Western Carolinian Friday, October 8, 1965 SFJC Has Meeting For Organizational Purposes 'Antigone' Cast Complete The Student-Faculty Judiciary Comimttee at Western Carolina College held its organizational meeting for the 1965-66 academic year on Monday, September 27, at 4 p.m. in the Gallery of Hunter Library. The meeting was one of particular significance, owing largely to the fact that much power of trial has been placed in the hands of Men's and Women's House Government this year, rather than letting the majority of cases fall, as In the past, unto the SFJC. It has been felt for some time that the respective House Governments have not been permitted to act to their full capacity and that the trying of major campus offenses pertinent to the various dormitories fell within their Jurisdiction. With this understanding in mind the committee, at last Monday's meeting, authorized the respective social deans to refer cases to either the SFJC or to Men's and Women's House Governments. "The purpose of the Joint Student - Faculty Judiciary Committee is to protect the liberties of the student body against those few students who violate the rules of our academic community. Any free society is dependent on responsible citizenship, and I am . . . cheered by the serious and conscientious manner in which the student and faculty members of the committee have undertaken their duties. Paricularly noteworthy was the spirit of unity which prevailed when a proposal was endorsed recommending that the social deans rely more heavily on the Men's and Women's House Governments in maintaining discipline. The academic year 1965-66 should be a memorable one for student government and the Student-Faculty Judiciary Committee." Each member of the SFJC, with the exception of Stephens, is a senior; all have had experience in student leadership. Helms, from Monroe, was e- This organizational meeting |lected Vice-President ' of the was the first for Dr. Max Wil Hams, recently appointed Assistant to the Dean of the College and Chairman of the SFJC, and the committee's new members.
