  • Page 4 THE WESTERN CAROIJNIAN THURSDAY JANUARY 9, 1975 6 former students convicted on drug sales Six former Western Carolina students were fotfnd guilty on drug charges in Sylva last month in connection with the 26 drug arrests made here last October. However, the 20 other former students had their trials postponed until Feb. 17 when the Superior Court reconvenes for three weeks of trials. Four of the men tried last month plead guilty to charges of selling contraband drugs. The other two were found guilty by juries on similar charges, but both have appealled. Judge Lacy H. Thornburg presided over the trial and delivered the sentences. Those tried were: Gordon Saussy, 21, who plead guilty to sale of marijuana. He was given a three year sentence—one to be served active and two years suspended during a five-year probation period. He was fined $1,000 and court cost. A nol pros was given on charge of possession. Phillip Deitz, 21 and former WCU star quarterback who was found guilty of sale of marijuana. He was sentenced for five years—two to be served active and five years suspended sentence. He was found not guilty of possession. Deitz has filed notice of appeal. Paul J. Forehand, 22, WCU graduate and former football player, who plead guilty to one count of sale of amphetamines. He was sentenced to three years—one year to be served active in the Sylva jail and two years suspended during a five- year probation. David Hackett, 22, former star running back for WCU, who was found guilty of possession of marijuana for sale. He was sentenced five years—two years active and the remaining three served during a five year probation. A mistrial was given on charge of sale and is to be retried. Hackett has appealled his conviction. Allen Helms, who was found guilty of two counts of sale of marijuana and two counts of possession. He was sentenced to three to five years active and five years of probation and was fined $500 and court cost, and James Steven Long, 19, former WCU student who transfered this fall to UNC-Charlotte, who plead guilty on one count of sale of LSD. He was sentenced to five years active, five years suspended sentence and five years of subsequent probation. One count of sale was nol pros. Saussy, Helms and Long were transfered to the maximum security Central Prison in Raleigh the week following their trial. Hackett and Deitz are free pending appeal, and Forehand is in the Sylva jail. During the trials the State Bureau of Investigation revealed the method it used in making the arrests. Three student undercover agents were used to make buys from suspected drug sellers. In addition, a large number of student informers supplied information concerning who was dealing drugs on the Cullowhee campus last spring. The three SBI buyers were Tom Bowles, 20, B. B. Bacon, said to be a professional undercover agent brought in by the SBI, and Dan Crumley, former WCU wrestler and member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Both Bowles and Crumley volunteered to make drug buys, according to James Maxey, assistant SBI superivisor of the Western District. During the trials, several defendants charged that Crumley had sold contraband drugs himself and had threatened to get revenge on them when he thought they had stolen his television from his room in madison Dorm. Other defendants said after the trial that Crumley was a known drug seller before the busts were made. When interviewed in the Sylva prison before being sent to Raleigh, James Long said Bowles had come to him twice saying he was sent by a mutual friend. According to Long, he told Bowles he had no LSD, but after Bowles repeatedly begged for it, Long agreed to buy some for him from a pusher. When questioned about his buyers' reputations, Maxey said he had no knowledge of their having sold drugs and did not know of the television incident prior to the trial. He said it was possible that they had sold drugs, but he thought it unlikely since he had made cross checks on the buyers. "I'd bust them," Maxey said of the buyers, if he knew they were selling. Neither Crumley or Bowles could be reached for comment. Maxey said the two were no longer at WCU, but had enrolled at other schools. Also, Judge Thornburg had not permitted him to release where they were 'Staying, Maxey said. When told it appeared that the Myers elected as student rep. University Center Board business manager, Roger Myers, has been elected as the student delegate to the Executive Board of the Association of College Unions-International. As a member of the Board, his duties involve voting on all decisions, attending various international conferences, and acting in behalf of students attending more than 800 colleges and universities in the ten participating nations. The Executive Board is composed of selected international professional student union directors, and Myers will serve as the only student delegate on the Board. A junior from Lexington, N. C, he attended the Association meeting in St. Louis during December. The Association was founded in 1914, and is one ofthe world's oldest intercollegiate educational organizations. Its purpose is to provide an opportunity for student unions to ex change ideas and improve their programs and services.

He said university students are more transient and can be infiltrated more easily than others in Jackson County who have lived here a long time and have permanent buyers they only sell to. Asked about the sentences given, Maxey said he thought Judge Thornburg was fair. "He treated everyone equal by sending everyone to prison.'' Of Thornburg, Maxey said, "He's honest, he's fair and he SBI had sin gled ou Western desp ises drug s." 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 '5 1 16 17 18 19 ■ 20 21 # 22 23 21 25 27 28 1 H29 30 31 32 ■33 34 35 36 ■ i 38 39 ■ 40 41 42 1 B43 44 4b 47 ^ 48 49 50 51 ■ 53 54 55 1 56 57 58 59 60 61 ■ r ?— ACROSS ©Edward Julius. 1974 43 Data (abbr.) 47 Cassini 1 Concealed from view 48 Ball clubs 9 Kangaroo and Blood 50 Frenzied (abbr.) 14 Well-paid, easy jobs 16 Nebraskan city 17 section 18 Quiz show participants 19 Cotton state(abbr. 20 Historical records 22 To and 23 Egyptian tambourine 62 Those who try 25 Rope used to train horses DOWN 26 Prefix: Mars 27 "The falling down": 2 wds. 29 Pertaining to the Ring operas 51 Assault 52 Small serving 53 Silkworm 54 Gem state 56 Previous proprietor: 2 wds. 59 One who refers to 60 Gave a derisive smile: 2 wds. 61 Nantes nun 31 Units of type (abbr.) 33 Tranquilizers 34 Prefix: ancient 37 Dwell 38 Decision makers 40 judicata 1 Annual awards 2 Hebrew poet 3 Pete 4 French pronoun 5 Fiddler crab 6 Bucolic 7 Before this time 8 Miss Durbin, et al 9 Keystone 10 Society of doctors (abbr.) 41 Playwright Williams 11 Sauteed 12 " smiles that... happy": 2 wds. 13 Barrooms 15 Panty hose foe 21 Library, e.g. 24 Gunga Din's creator 26 Spain's Dali or Sert 28 Frame of mind 30 Relieves the pressure 32 Takes care of: 2 wds. 34 Introduction: Sp. 35 Deny and refuse 36 Buys (trades): 2 wds. 38 Branch of physics 39 Ocean trade route: 2 wds. 42 Hams it up 44 Penalty, in Paris 45 Raise (infin. form) 46 Minis and maxis 49 German admiral and f ami 1 y 52 Click beetle 55 Exclamation 57 pro nobis 58 Unit of weight ONE STOP SHOPPING FOR ALL YOUR e HOBBY eCRAFT • ART SUPPLIES & ACCESSORIES ASK ABOUT OUR WORKSHOPS
