(ZNS) Lieutenant William
Calley, who was convicted 18
months ago of murdering at least
22 Vietnamese civilians, has
spent the last year-and-half in a
four-room single-floor duplex at
Fort Benning, Georgia.
Although Calley is officially
convicted and is serving out a
sentence, his imprisonment is
unlike that of any other prisoner
in the United States. About the
only restriction on Calley is that
he must stay inside his
apartment and the attached
yard.
Other than this "house
arrest" provision, (alley has
been granted a large degree of
freedom while his case is
appealed through the military
courts. He is visited daily by a
number of friends and personal
acquaintances who are on an
approved list that was initially
drawn up by Calley himself.
According to a Fort Benning
spokesman, one of the people on
Calley's visitor lists is his (quote)
"girl friend" who also buys him
the groceries he needs to do all
his own cooking.
Calley's apartment is
equipped with a television
set—and he even keeps his pet

Lieutenant is permitted to do
exercises in his back yard, to
garden if he wishes, and to stroll
around the grounds at will. But
he is allowed to leave the
apartment area only under
special circumstances under
armed guard.
Calley, unlike most
prisoners, receives vast amounts
of mail from admirers— and he is

Texas may ease tough grass laws
(ZNS) The state of
Texas—which has the toughest
marijuana laws in the world—
appears to be on the verge of
easing those laws.
The Texas chapter of the
National Organization for the
Reform of Marijuana Laws
reports that it has conducted its
own study of the attitudes of
Texas state legislators toward
marijuana. That survey has
found that more than 95 percent
of the members of both Texas
State Houses believe that
marijuana possession should be
changed from a felony to a
misdemeanor—a move that
would greatly ease marijuana
prison terms.
Under current Texas law,
first time marijuana possessors
receive from two years to life in
prison for holding less that a

HO HO WHO?
On December 4, the
Highacres campus and the staff
of the HIGHACRES
COLLEGIAN were surprised by
a very special visitor. The joy of
Christmas prevailed as Santa
Claus came to the campus. After
making surprise appearances in
the Campus Bookstore, the
Library, and the Student Union
Building, Santa appeared in the
office of the HIGHACRES
COLLEGIAN, where he was
given a list of what the staff
wanted for Christmas. After
taking a tour of the campus
grounds, Santa then disappeared,
only to be seen in the vicinity of
the Main building.
It is advised that all students
of Highacres be on their best
behavior, because it is not
known whether the old
gentleman will return.
He regretted that he had to
leave so soon, but he said his
sled and reindeer did not have a
parking sticker and arrest would
mar his record.
