Sheriff, Judge, Dean Issue
Policies on Drugs Drunks
Two Carrollton city officials
have recently released
statements concerning drug
pushing and driving under the
influence of alcohol. Dean of
Student Affairs Tracy Stallings
has also issued a statement
concerning new policy on student
law violations.
Carroll County’s new sheriff
elect, W. J. Robison, who
recently defeated incumbent Carl
Townsend in county elections,
told the Carrollton Kiwanis club
Friday that his administration
would make special efforts to
crack down on drug pushers and
drunken drivers in Carroll
County.
“I’m personally not going to
spend a great deal of time trying
to catch a boy smoking one
marijuana cigarette,” he said.
“The pusher is the man I want,
and if I can get him I'm going to
do it. State help is available and
I'm going to get all the help I
can.”
Robinson said that any man
found on the road too drunk to
drive will be taken off. “I feel I
will be doing him a favor to do
so,” he stated. “Suppose I turned
my head and let him go and then
he ran over somebody and killed
them, or even had a wreck.
Knowing that I saw him, I feel he
would have ample ground to
think hard of me for not taking
Signs, New Lane Funnel Traffic
Returning students will find a
new traffic flow pattern on Maple
Street between Hays Mill Road
and Club Drive. Due to the new
center turn lane accommodating
both incoming and outgoing
traffic, Carrollton City Engineer
Charlie Frost warns that drivers
had better proceed with “caution
and courtesy.”
Following is an explanation of
how the new system will work
(see detailed diagram below) as
appeared in the Carroll County
Georgian.

hearing him gripe about having
to pay a fine but I would hate to
hear him complain about killing
somebody.”
Robinson will take office on
January 1.
The Carroll County Courts have
also instigated a more strict
system of fines for those found
guilty of driving under the in
fluence. The new fine structure
was laid down in a court order by
Judge R. J. Brown, State Court
Judge. First offenders can expect

An organizational

from the college to town, all thru

lane ( the new lane).
“The center lane, which is
marked off with double yellow
lines is for left turns only, in both
directions.
“For instance, if you are
traveling from town toward the
college and you wish to turn left
into Howell Drive, you must get
in the center lane and wait for the
oncoming traffic to clear.

by the sheriff’s department for
the third offense “I want to see
them in court after that,” Judge
Brown said.
“We are going to crack down on
drunk drivers and get them off
the streets,” he said.
The judge quoted figures to the
effect that during the ten years of
the Vietnam War 45,000 soldiers
were killed by the enemy.
“During the same ten years,
246,000 people were killed by
drivers under the influence of
alcohol,” he said.
Dean of Student Affairs Tracy
Stallings has also issued a
statement concerning student
law violations. In keeping with
the continued decline of the “in
loco parentis” doctrine which
formerly protected college
students, Dean Stallings ex
plained that “many acts for
merly treated as institutional
disciplinary matters and handled
by college personnel will in the
future be treated as law
violations and referred to public
authorities.
“Asa result, a wayward
student is more likely in 1972-73 to
find himself facing the Student
Judiciary Commission or the
Dean of Student Affairs.”

“It is possible that two cars will
meet head-on in the turning lane,
one coming from the east and one
from the west, and this is where
you will have to use caution.
“If you change your mind
about turning left and wish to
proceed straight through, again
you will have to use caution and
get back in the right lane.
“Arrows have been painted in
the lanes to aid the driver, and
overhead signs will be installed
as soon as they arrive,” ac
cording to Frost.
