Court Postpones Brandeis Trial; Six Face Drugs Charges Nov. 27

Six Brandeis University undergraduates arrested Nov. 1 for illegal possession of marijuana received a "simple continuance" of their case until Nov. 27 in Waltham District Court Wednesday. The students have not yet entered pleas in their behalf. If they are found guilty, the six face a minimum penalty of $1000 or 2 1/2 years imprisonment under Massachusetts narootics laws.

Kermit Morrissey, Dean of Students at Brandeis, said yesterday that the students, five boys and a girl, will probably be asked to take a leave of absence from the University. They are now under suspension "until disposition of the case."

A Brandeis alumnus arrested with the undergraduates for sale of narootics, Charles Giuliano, has left his teaching post at the Chapel Hill School for Girls in Waltham under what the school called "a mutual understanding." A Chapel Hill official said that Giuliano had been hired only three days before his arrest, and "had never even completed a full day of teaching."

State authorities are planning to arrest a seventh undergraduate if and when he returns from his home in Connecticut. The student, who is a junior, did not return last week as expected. Since he has been charged with violation of a state law, he can be arrested only in Massachusetts.

"Things have quieted down considerably" at Brandeis, according to Morrissey. Extensive questioning of undergraduates has stopped, and administrators are hoping to resolve the current case as quickly as possible.
