Course
Load
Changes
The Educational Policies
Committee's proposal for
changes in the curriculum reduc
ing faculty and student course
loads was approved in a general
faculty meeting on April 13 with
a two-stage implementation
schedule.
The Monday-Thursday, Tues
day-Friday class schedule, con
version of 3 hour courses to 4
hour courses and the faculty
teaching load reduction will be
put into effect in the fall of
1971. Student loads will be
reduced in the fall of 1970 for
those students who wish to take
only four courses per semester.
Course Loads
The courses taken next year
will be 3 hour courses. Courses
taken during and after the fall
semester of 1971 will be 4 hour
courses.
Course loads for most stu
dents will be reduced for the
upcoming semester. An effort
will be made by the Academic
Dean and the Registrar to reduce
the course loads of rising juniors
and sophomores to four courses
per semester. Most rising seniors
will have to take five courses
each semester of next year.
All students who are pre
sently enrolled must have 120
hours credit in order to gra
duate.
Shifting Course Loads
Rising juniors who will nor
mally have 60 hours at the end
of this year may take only eight
3-hour courses next year. In the
1971-72 year they must take
nine 4-hour courses in order to
have the 120 hours necessary for
graduation.
Rising sophomores who will
have 30 hours at the end of this
semester may take eight 3-hour
courses this next year and eight
4-hour courses in the 1971-72
year. They must be able to pick
up one extra hour through
seminars, choir or independent
study in order to have the 120
hours necessary for graduation.
The number of courses re
quired of all classes entering
after 1970 in order to graduate
will be 32.
Graduation Requirements
The reduction of the number
of required courses from 40 to
32 courses necessitates certain
changes in graduation require
ments.
The number of courses re
quired for a major will be
reduced from ten to eight. Four
courses will be required in the
related field.
Two courses will be required
in a foreign language. It will be
possible for a student to place
out of any required course
except Man in the Twentieth
Century.
The Social Science require
ment will be reduced to one
course, and there will be six free
electives.

RUSTY DAVENPORT: "An Insult to Legislature"
Adm. Council Makes
Recommendations
The Administrative Council
has given recommendations to
the Board of Trustees calling for
the adoption of the "Unit of
Living" plan and the abolish
ment of hours for all women
except first semester freshmen.
The Administrative Council
also announced that it will re
port to the trustees at their April
24-25 meeting its decision to
abolish the rule requiring a dor
mitory function (such as a dance)
for a dormitory to hold open
house.
In addition, the Administra
tive Council forwarded to the
trustees an alcohol resolution
from the Student Affairs Com
mittee. If the trustees adopted
the resolution, the college would
neither condone nor police the
orderly consumption of alco
holic beverages on the Guilford
campus.
No Recommendation
However most observers see
favorable action by the trustees
on the resolution unlikely,
since the administrative council
Banker Storrs Speaks
Thomas I. Storrs, president of
North Carolina National Bank,
will speak to the Economics
Society of Guilford College on
Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in the
Moon Room.
His topic will be "Monetary
Policy: Highlights and Low
lights, 1965-1968."
Prior to joining the North
Carolina National Bank in 1960
as an executive vice president,
MONDAY, APRIL 20, 1970
forwarded the resolution for in
formation purposes without a
recommendation.
A number of student leaders
are tentatively planning a march
with empty beer cans Wednes
day to protest the refusal of
president Hobbs to put the al
cohol resolution on the agenda
for the April Board meeting.
Rotation Method
The Administrative Council
proposed that the rotation
method be used in the imple
mentation of its recommenda
tion on women's hours. Under
this plan, each woman dor
mitory resident would be as
signed a night or nights to let
residents of her dormitory in
after the dormitory was of
ficially locked.
The proposals concerning rule
changes and the reorganization
of college living units stem from
a report titled "The Partial Reor
ganization of Student Govern
ment" which was prepared by
the Unit of Living Committee
chaired by Craig Chapman.
Storrs was vice president of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond in charge of the Charlotte
branch of that bank.
He was educated at the
University of Virginia and Har
vard University and received an
L.L.D. degree from the Uni
versity of North Carolina. He
served more than five years in
the U.S. Navy in World War II
and the Korean War.
A settlement in the dispute
between the Student Legislature
and THE GUILFORDIAN invol
ving the legislature's right to
withhold money allocated last
spring for the current GUIL
FORDIAN budget is reported
likely.
Optimism over the chances of
resolving the dispute was ex
pressed by both the outgoing
and ingoing legislature executive
board members, and members of
THE GUILFORDIAN staff fol
lowing a meeting Thursday of
the two groups and the Publica
tions Board.
At the conclusion of the
meeting, legislature members an
nounced that they would ask the
legislature to retract the Dale
Mandel-sponsored motion passed
at its April 6 meeting which
called for the legislature to sus
pend all funds allocated last year
for the current GUILFORDIAN
budget until "regular editions
come out."
Resolution Expresses Disapproval
In addition the legislature
members said they would ask
the legislature to send a resolu
tion to the Publications Board
expressing their displeasure for
THE GUILFORDIAN'S April 6
edition which contained almost
seven blank pages of paper and
prompted the legislature, to pass
its motion withholding further
funds until "regular editions
appeared."
During the meeting Publica
tions Board members empha
sized that legislature members
had the right to express their
displeasure over the content of
THE GUILFORD IAN and to

discontinue its publication next
year by refusing to appropriate
any funds for its operation.
However the board members
maintained that the legislature
did not have the right to in
fluence the content of the paper
by withholding funds appro
priated last spring for the cur
rent GUILFORDIAN budget.
No Censorship
In addition, the Publications
Board which has the authority
to remove as well as appoint the
editor of THE GUILFORDIAN
clarified that it was the Board's
policy to function in an advisory
capacity not as a censor.
The meeting of the legislature
members and THE GUILFOR
DIAN staff with the Publications
Board is the result of a resolu
tion passed by legislature April
13 which proposed such a
meeting in an attempt to resolve
the dispute over legislator Dale
Mandel's resolution-motion to
withhold money allocated last
spring for THE GUILFORDIAN
until "regular editions"
come out.
Prior to a voice vote on Man
del's motion at the April 5 legis
lature meeting, Mandel defined a
"regular edition" as one which
contains sports, news, features,
cartoons, letters to the editor,
and editorials.
