According to a press release from the Knox County Sheriff's Office, Robert Granville '11 was arrested last Thursday, April 23, for two counts of trafficking marijuana. The student, a sophomore, "allegedly sold marijuana to an undercover deputy sheriff," Knox County Sheriff David Barber said in the press release. Also assisting in the investigation were Kenyon's Office of Safety and Security, Detective Sergeants Roger Brown and Gary Rohler, and Detective David Light, none of whom could be reached for comment. On Thursday night, a search warrant was served for Granville's residence, resulting in the seizure of marijuana in addition to other materials. Granville is "currently being held at the Knox County jail," according to the press release. According to President S. Georgia Nugent, Granville must undergo a judicial hearing at Kenyon before a decision is made regarding his future enrollment at the College.

Village Council

Themed housing applications are now available and are due Friday, Feb. 10. Interviews will be conducted on Feb. 12.

The Senate voted against the 2016 Smoke-Free Policy, which would have banned all smoking on campus. The Senate is now considering a more moderate policy.

This policy draws a distinction between predominantly residential and other areas of the campus.

The new policy would allow smoking only in predominantly residential areas and at least two other designated smoking areas on campus that would serve academic buildings. These will most likely be near Peirce Hall and Olin Library.

The new policy would not allow smoking within 15 feet of entrances, exits or windows in residential areas. The College would have difficulty enforcing this rule, but it provides an outlet for residents who worry about people smoking outside their window every day. Senate hopes students will self-enforce this rule.

This policy would disallow smoking anywhere that is not predominantly residential, or a designated smoking area, meaning Middle Path would become smoke-free.

The policy would recommend that the College provide funds for smoking cessation treatment.

The policy recommends that the College come into accordance with Ohio laws that require proper signage for designated smoking areas.

Smoking inside could incur the penalty of losing a point in the housing lottery.

The sanctions resulting from this policy would go through the normal conduct review system.

The policy would be enacted by Jan. 1, 2013. Student Council would utilize the first semester to educate people and designate the smoking areas.

Social Board has made careful considerations about Summer Sendoff and will make an announcement as to their plans over the next few weeks after contracts are signed, according to an official statement from Student Council.

Student Council is also re-evaluating the role they play in events to which they grant large sums of money, according to Sunday's Student Council agenda.
