Military Court Ban on Civilians in Peacetime
The U S Court of Appeals ruled that military courts cannot try civilians for crimes committed while employed by the armed forces overseas in peacetime. The majority overturned the conviction of Dominic Guagliardo of Tampa Florida who was convicted of conspiring to commit larceny while employed by the Air Force in Morocco, receiving a three year sentence and a $1000 fine. He remained free on bond pending appeal as the court suggested Congress may rewrite the governing jurisdiction to fit security discipline and effectiveness.

Beaumont High School Faces Electronic Scheduling Snafu
The Beaumont High School in St. Louis suffered an early school year mishap as an experimental electronic scheduling system misdirected 700 of its 2,000 students. Students were swapped between classes and even across grades, leaving halls crowded and rooms misallocated. Principal Walter Gammeter called it the worst snafu in his 24 years of experience, noting clerical errors in punch-card inputs likely caused the chaos.
