Ward
Supporters
Organize
A meeting was held Thurs
day at the home of Donald Dar
nell to outline plans for the
campaign in favor of the ward
system in Greensboro.
Mr. Darnell said that the va
lue of student power could not
be overstated. lie stressed a
need for students to help in
canvassing or working at cam
paign headquarters at 1407 W.
Friendly Ave.
Darnell, an English professor
at the University of North Carol
ina at Greensboro, called the
meeting to solicit faculty and
student support to work for the
proposal's passage in the Nov
ember 4 election.
Under the present system of
city government, the mayor is
elected by the city council. Sup
porters of the ward system say
this can be done in secret session
and influenced by three or four
councilmen, pointing out that in
1967 the man elected mayor by
the council had run third in the
actual voting.
They also argue that a sys
tem dating from 1911 when
Greensboro had a population of
only 16,000 cannot suit the needs
of a city of 145,000 people.
A member of the group said
that opposition to the plan stems
from quarrels over the number
of wards, and supposedly not to
the plan itself. The city man
ager would be retained under the
new system.

The Student Affairs Committee
at a recent meeting refused to
endorse House Council Resolu
tion No. 1, a recommendation
that the possession and usage of
alcoholic beverages on campus
be made permissable. The SAC,
before further consideration,
sent the resolution back to its
writers for revision.
Frederick W. Parkhust, Chair
man of the Student Affairs Com
mittee, explained that the re
solution was "returned to its
writers for them to give speci
fic reasons for disagreement with
present policy. These reasons for
disagreement and proposals for
a new policy should be stated."
The resolution said it is "un-
Quakerly" to restrict the use of
alcoholic beverages. Parkhurst

According to Davenport, Cata
lyst is not a special interest
group, but a group of concerned
students who would like to see
constructive change at Guilford.
He also said that the group has
not yet resolved the question of
whether to beome an action ori
ented group or a stimulus and
awareness group which involves
others and inspires thought.
Davenport added that he hoped
the group could do both at once.
Catalyst hopes also to become
the push behind the action of
other groups. Catalyst plans to
push for changes in the drinking
policy, scholarship allocations,
and women's hours, among other
things. In addition, it hopes to
initiate dialogue groups and sen.
sitivity sessions.

takes issue with this statement,
saying he knows of "no Quaker
practice anywhere which favors
the use of alcoholic beverages."
David Mahaney, President of
Men's Interdomitory Govern
ment, and a member of SAC,
presented the unsuccessful re
solution to the committee. Fur
ther explaining reasons for SAC's
failure to endorse it, Mahaney
states that "SAC thought it was
too abrasive. . .that is was con
strued to mean that the school
has no right to dictate to stu
dents laws it feels necessary."
Asked if the resolution would
be rewritten in an attempt to
secure SAC's endorsement be
fore presenting it to the Board
of Trustees, Mahaney said, "con
sidering the time factor, I don't
see how it could be."
House Council Resolution No.l
originated in the House Councils
of Milner and 1968 Dorms, and
has been endorsed by the coun
cils, MIG, WSC, and the Stu

The resolution, which is to be
presented to the Board of Trust

ment upon the rights of others."
