The police said they would obtain a warrant and arrest the residents if they found any marijuana if they weren't allowed to search the room. The occupants who supposedly didn't know about the marijuana, let the police in to retrieve it. They were never bothered by the police after that. In the drug raid at USC Jan. 22, in which 40 people were arrested, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) undercover agents and Columbia police spent six weeks investigating a tip. A resident assistant who did not want to be identified said he had received telephone calls from -the police asking about pot smokers in his dorm. "We're not here to play poli.emen," the resident assistanVbld the police. In the Student Affairs memorandum of March, 1972, guidelines for the Resident Director, assistants and hall advisors were outlined "Since the resident staff are virtually concerned with students' academic achievement, both of which on adversely affected by drug abuse, they can not condone nor ignore such abuse. However, the University does not intend that the role of an investigative Arh Crispy Pot pilositons give drug agency devolve upon the life staff. Hall advisors and Resident Directors-Assistants must maintain a helping relationship with students. At the same time, as members of the University staff, they cannot ignore nor overlook violations of University regulations, nor protect students from consequences of actual violations of State and Federal laws.

We had one case last semester where a resident was smoking, but a staff member talked to her and the situation never came up again." ist* in smoking pot the residence life !s an incident report. "I generally don't file the in cident report right away," said another men's resident assistant: "I try to let the resident work it out and make the decision.

Generally, at the end of the year, I throw the left over reports away." i Students who continue to use marijuana will risk the chance of being turned in by student in formers. As one resident assistant put it, "the kids set themselves up for the informers. Around the dorms it's not too hard to smell where the pot is coming from.
