University of Virginia Library

Passing A Pipe

Mr. Everson and the other
students were arrested when
University Security Officer
James H. Batten observed them
passing a pipe while sitting on
Maupin's second floor balcony.
The officer was on routine
patrol at the time.

Municipal Court Judge
Allan N. Spitzer ruled Nov. 28
for a continuance of the
students' trial. Three of the
first-year students, Valerie
Holmes, James Carswell and
Wayne De Blois, will appear
together Dec. 19.

First-year student Susan
Covey, who is represented by a
private attorney, will be tried
later this month or early next
year.

Mr. Dezio indicated that the
other students would also be
released on probation.

"It's my idea that if they all
plead guilty like this
defendant," he said, "we will
let them off under probation,
and will dismiss their case
provided they meet probation
requirements."
