Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina

My 19 year old son was recently arrested on campus at Elon University for knowing use drug paraphenalia, possessing less than 1/2 oz marijuana, and running away from the campus police officer. The apparent facts are that he was with a friend in some woods getting ready to smoke his friend's pot using his friend's pipe. When the police officer caught them, they both ran. The police later found them in their dorm rooms. He has no prior record. Is it necessary for us to get an attorney in this case? Will this potentially go on his record? His court date is 17 Dec.

Thanks!
