Boycott
Usually reliable sources re
port that Greensboro attorney
Robert Frazier, immediate past
chairman of the Guilford College
Board of Trustees, is continuing
his boycott of trustee meetings.
In addition it was reported to
THE GUILFORDIAN that Frazier
has asked several prominent
Greensboro residents to withhold
contributions to Guilford's fund
raising drive on the grounds that
the college has "deteriorated."
Sources close to the Board of
Trustees report that Frazier has
not attended a trustee meeting
since last April when the Board
decided to open its membership
to non-Quakers. The prominent
Greensboro attorney vigorously
opposed the Board's decision.
After Fraziar assumed an
inactive role, his duties were
assumed by vice-chairman Edwin
Brown of Murfreesboro. Brown
was elected permanent chairman
at the October quarterly
trustee meeting.
Observers see Frazier's in
activity as the culmination of a
long and often bitter controver
sy with more liberal Board mem
bers.
Disagreement arose over such
issues as the acceptance of fed
eral funds, and the general pol
icies of Guilford's present ad
ministrators as well as the en
largement of the Board to in
clude non-Quakers.
Last spring Frazier drew
widespread criticism from stu
dents and faculty members af
ter THE GUILFORD IAN publi
cized his defense of slumlord
W.W. Horton.

Students
Charged
In N.Y.
Three men students partici
pating in the Guilford College
Arts Seminar in New York City
were arrested and charged by
police with possession of mari
juana.
Charges against two of the stu
dents were dropped. A hearing for
the third students was set for
April 1. He was released after
posting SSOO bond.
Charges against the students
stem from an incident on Friday
night, January 30, in the William
Sloane House YMCA.
The students were apprehend
ed by a Sloane House security
officer , who smelled a mari
juana-like odor in the corridor
outside the students' room.
Reliable sources reported to
THE GUILFORD IAN that the al
leged marijuana was actually the
spice oregano. Possession of
such a spice is not prohibited by
law.

FLOYD McKISSICK, FORMER CORE DIRECTOR, WHO WILL
SPEAK THURSDAY AT 8 P.M. IN DANA AUDITORIUM
Judicial Merger Proposed
Ted Magida and Mitch Zweibel
proposed at the M.I.G. Thursday
night meeting that M.I.G. be a -
bolished.
After further discussion, the
proposal was changed to call only
for the merger of the M.I.G.
Judicial Board with the Judicial
Board of W.S.C.
M.I.G. President David Ma
haney agreed to discuss the pro
posal with members of W.S.C.
to determine its feasibility.
Under the proposed system,
dorm members who are charged
with offenses would be tried by
the dorm's House Council. Stu
dents of more than one dorm
charged with involvement in the
same offense would be tried by
the consolidated M.1.G.-W.S.C.
Judicial Board.
This change wouldpreventmen
and women students involved in
the same case from being tried
by separate judicial boards.
Last semester considerable
controversy developed over the
differences in sentences handed
out to men and women involved
in the same offense.
Observers see Zweibel and
Magaida's proposal as an out
growth of such concern.
Magida is a sophomore from
Milner Dorm, while Zweibel is
a freshman student represent
ing the 1968 Men's Dorm.
CONSITUTIONAL REVISIONS
David Mahaney announced that
most of the proposed M.I.G. Con
stitutional revisions of Decem
ber 11, 1969 had passed with the
required two-thirds majority
vote.
The revisions which passed
include ttw election of M.LG.
and House Council hall repre
Monday, February 9, 1970
sentatives in the fall insteav
of in the spring; the enlarge
ment of the M.I.G. Judicial Board;
clarification of the appeals pro
cedure: delegation of duties to
a Chairman of the Judicial Board,
who would present evidence but
have no vote; and other clarifi
cations.
The next M.I.G. meeting is
scheduled for February 19.

MIG PRESIDENT DAVID MAHANEY
Floyd B. McKissick, former
national director of the Congress
of Racial Equality, will deliver
a lecture, "The Soul and_ Spirit
of Soul City," Feb. 12", at
8 p.m. in Dana Auditorium.
McKissick became director of
CORE in March 1966 and led
the organization through its
transition from a white -
dominated to a separatist or
ganization.
In 1966 CORE's membership
was 55% white. Within one
year after McKissick succeeded
James Farmer as director,
CORE's membership had in
creased from 80,000 to 120,000
and CORE had begun to de
emphasize its original multi
racial nature.
A convention of CORE
members in July of 1967 voted
to remove the word "multi
racial" from all descriptions of
CORE.
BALTIMORE, THE "TARGET
CITY"
Under McKissick's leader
ship, CORE concentrated on
Baltimore, Maryland, as a
"target city." In Baltimore,
Negroes were being denied ad-
dence.
The House Council also passed
a motion to amend the M.LG.
Constitution to enable House
Council presidents to serve re
gardless of their grade point
averages.
The decision to call for the
vote of confidence and consti
tution amendments stems from
Clampitt's failure to maintain a
cumulative 1.00 grade point aver
age.
Under college rules students
cannot serve as dormitory pres
idents unless thay maintain the
1.00 cumulative average.

mittance to public accommoda
tions.
Schools and housing were
segregated and the rate of
unemployment among blacks was
high. Blacks complained of
police brutality, and Baltimore
voters had rejected fair housing
laws three times.
In Baltimore, CORE rented
a gas station and trained high
school dropouts to run it and
organized a union of welfare
mothers and a labor union, the
Maryland Freedom Union.
"Freedom schools," which
dispensed Negro history, con
sumer-buying advice, and tips
on filing applications and com
plaints with the welfare bureau
cracy, were established by
CORE.
1967 PROGRAM
The 1967 program for CORE
emphasized the need for pro
moting black power in the South,
building black economic power,
promoting black culture by
establishing centers of black
arts and by teaching black his
tory, developing ties with Africa
by teaching African history and
languages and by encouraging
American blacks to help emerg
ing African nations, and setting
up training schools for ghetto
dwellers.
CORE members began to
advocate that blacks must have
equal economic power before
integration can become com
plete.
