Leg- Old Issues

installed the new executive

question and continued the
controversy over THE GUIL
FORDIAN.

newly elected executive council
and the new president, Joel
New presided over the remainder
of the meeting.
The president announced that
applications and recom
mendations for Dana Scholar

Guilfordian
President New presented a
report of the meeting of legisla
ture officers, the Publications
Board and the editors of the
GUILFORDIAN regarding legis
latures decision to suspend
GUILFORDIAN funds.
According to New, the con
sensus of the meeting was that
both legislature and the GUIL
FORDIAN staff had made mis
takes pertaining to issue 23 of
the GUILFORDIAN. He said
that legislature had used the
wrong methods of censuring the
GUILFORDIAN'S actions when
they cut off funds for this year.
The legislature cannot cut the

Board Tables Open Hours
Drink Policy Passed
The Board of Trustees voted
Saturday to approve a testimony
of Quaker policy prepared by
Fred Parkhurst and Beth Keiser
of the SAC which neither ap
proves nor prohibits the use of
alcoholic beverages in dormi
tories.
The statement warned stu
dents that "any violation of
North Carolina law relating to
the possession and sale of alco
holic beverages . . . shall be
subject to strong college disci
pline."
The board also warned
against "any disorderly mis
conduct or interference with the
rights of others, such as to
study, any offensive public dis
play, or anti-social behavior" re
sulting from the use of alcohol.
The statement quotes the
North Carolina "Book of Disci
pline" on the Quaker attitude
toward drinking: "Friends main
tain a strong testimony against
the use of intoxicating liquors."
The discipline also says that
Friends should be "earnest and
Ebel Chosen New Editor
In an April 21 meeting of the
Publications Board, Jeanette
Ebel was appointed editor of the
GUILFORDIAN and James G.
Willson was appointed editor of
the QUAKER.
At that meeting, an an
nonymous member of the Pub
lications Board presented the
incoming and outgoing editors
of the GUILFORDIAN with
checks for one hundred dollars.
Accompanying the checks
was the following statement:

Jeanette Ebel, left, 1970-71 Guilfordian
editor, is congratulated by Craig Chapman,
thu year's editor. They hold checks
energetic in their opposition" to
the liquor traffic.
In stating that the board
would no longer prohibit drink
ing in dorms, the board state
ment announced, "We do not
seek to impose this testimony as
a legal matter but rather request
other Quakers and non-Quakers
be especially sensitive to this
testimony in their conduct while
in residence at this college."
Unit of Living
The unit of living proposal
also was approved on the con
dition that, in a referendum,
two-thirds of the resident stu
dents approve the proposal.
If the students vote to insti
tute the proposal, each dormi
tory will be allowed to adopt its
own house ruled rules subject to
the approval of the SAC and the
Administrative Council.
Two trustees, Byron A.
Haworth of High Point and J.

Wilmington, were added to the
Because it is an essential
element of personal integrity to
practice what we preach, and
since I have urged financial
support for the GUILFORDIAN
and in order to encourage the
student legislature and Guilford
College to guarantee a free press
of high quality, I am writing two
checks in the amount of SIOO
each, one for the outgoing editor
Craig Chapman, and one for the
incoming editor Jeanette Ebel.

units of living constitutions.
Women's Hours
A proposal establishing a
system of self-regulating hours
for resident women students was
discussed and tabled until the
July board meeting in order to
allow the board time to gather
more information. Prior to that
meeting, the board hopes to
have surveyed parents con
cerning the proposal.
The proposal that was sent to
the Board of Trustees by the
Administrative Council recom
mended the student rotation
system of self-regulating hours.
The Board discussed the idea of
permitting self-regulating hours
only for those women who
could obtain parental per
mission.
The board also announced
that they would meet in the near
future with WSC in order to
discuss the proposal.
of S2OO will motivate consider
ation not only for the editor of
the GUILFORDIAN, but for the
business manager, for the editor
of the QUAKER, and for the
staffs of these publications.
While such financial recognition
is only part of the reward to be
gained, I believe that it deserves
our endorsement.
