Bettieanne
Speaks
Bettieanne Childers, presi
dent of the Spelman College
Student Government, was in
terviewed on Saturday, Jan
uary 25, 1968 and asked the
following questions by Jacque
line Howard:
Q — What is the function
of the Judiciary Board?
A — “The Judiciary Board
is composed of representatives
from each class, the executive
dormitory council and faculty
to be appointed as stipulated
in the constitution. It is that
Board of the Spelman Stu
dent’s Association which deals
with disciplinary matters con
cerning areas under which the
Student Association has juris
diction as stipulated in the
Constitution. The Dean of
Women and SSGA president
serve as ex-officio members
without the right to vote. It is
to this body that students
channel with infractions and
other matters which may re
quire disciplinary action are
referred when the party or
parties involved so request.”
Q — To whom should a
person go if there is a com
plaint against another student?
A — “She should go to the
Dean of Women, President of
the college, House Resident —
especially for matters involv
ing the dormitory: in cases of
other matters she should go to
the person over that depart
ment: For example, academic
problems should be taken to
the department chairman or
Dean of Instruction.”
Q — After it has been re
ported to the person of author
ity what procedures should be
taken?
A — “The person in au
thority should make some
decision or take some action
about the problem whether it
may be referring it to some
one or somebody more adept
in handling the problem. It is
a problem requiring the at
tention of the Judiciary Board,
the Dean of Women or the
Chairman of the Board can
call a meeting of the Board.”
Q — Who is the Chairman
of the Board?
A — “I don’t know who is
the Chairman but she should
be one of the seniors elected
to the Board.”
It is hoped that this inter
view will clarify some of the
questions floating around our
campus as to the role of the
student and administration on
the Judiciary Board. Though
other Judiciary Board mem
bers were not questioned, it
seems that from President

Childers’ replies that there is
no reason for threats on the
part of any board member to
defenders. Likewise, no de
fendant has the right to threat
en the plaintiff.
In the future, the role of
the board must be more pre
cise and the members must
adhere to the rules. Until that
is definitely cleared, we must
ask many of the following
questions:
1. Who is Chairman of the
Board?
2. Can apy member of the
Board personally decide
the guilt of a person or
persons?
3. Has the Board functioned
in the past, and how will
it function in the future?
4. Will outside legal aid be
needed if defendants are
illegally tried?
5. Will you help to decide
the answers before one of
our sisters is tried?
