Dunlop says the ceiling remains and not more flexible than under prior controls. A separate Pulaski County Grand Jury report warns drug abuse is widespread and rising, with about 40 percent of students trying drugs and LSD and heroin readily available.

Supreme Court Overturns Larceny Conviction In Arkansas
In Grant County Arkansas the state Supreme Court reversed a grand larceny conviction of William C. Horne, 19, from 1971 due to irregular jury wheel selection. The case goes back for a new trial after the court ruled Act 568 requires full venire replacement each year, criticizing the 74 replaced jurors used prior. The decision, by Justice Conley Byrd, notes the irregularity could affect jury representativeness though practical considerations were acknowledged. Also reported is a San Francisco study finding 76 percent of 400 crashes involving 395 tractor trailers and five buses due to driver sleep, with 11 percent linked to alcohol.
