Board Hears Code,
Visitation Violations
The campus Judicial Board
met on Wednesday night, Feb. 2,
and on Thursday night, Feb. 3,
finding 3 students guilty of
plagiarism and 7 guilty of
visitation violations.
Seven of these cases involved
visitation violations, with guilty
verdicts rendered in each case.
After considering each, the
Board issued severe reprimands
and each student was cautioned
that another violation would
result in more serious
disciplinary action. Two of these
violations occurred in 1968
Dorm and the remainder in
Binford Dorm.
Two residents of Mary Hobbs
Hall were charged with failing to
comply with their work job
arrangements, moving out of the
dorm without receiving official
approval,and removing one bed
and two bookcases from Mary
Hobbs Hall. The two freshman
women were found guilty and
both were placed under
disciplinary probation for a
period of two semesters.
The provisions of Disciplinary
Probation, as stipulated in the
PATHFINDER, state that if the

Hobbs Explains Costs Rise
President Grimsley Hobbs
told the monthly, faculty
meeting Wednesday that
students costs at Guilford may
rise by as much as $l3O per year
student is found guilty of a
similar or major violation during
the probationary period, he will
be subject to suspension for up
to three semesters. Further, a
student on Disciplinary
Probation may not serve the
college in any representative
capacity.
Four alleged violations of the
Honor Code were also
considered by the Board.
One case involved a Political
Science term paper in which the
student, after directly quoting a
passage from a reference source,
included a footnote reference
but failed to enclose the passage
in quotation marks or mark the
passage appropriately by
indentation. The Board elected
to take no action on this case
and to return the paper to the
professor, stating that there had
been no infraction of the Honor
Code. They agreed that the
student had made no attempt to 1
offer someone else's work as his
own but instead had committed
a writing/mechanical error.
The second case involved a
senior who was found guilty of

for on campus students, and as
much as $lOO for day students.
This would represent a rise of as
much as five percent.
Dr. Hobbs cited three reasons
for the expected increase. The
rising cost of coal may
necessitate a change from coal to
oil heat for the campus plant.
There will be wage change
considerations for the college's
non-academic employees, and
last, the cost of electricity is
rising.
In addition to hearing Dr.
Hobbs, the faculty discussed the
Hearing Debates
Symmetrical Plan
More than 200 people
attended an open design hearing
of the State Highway
Commission last Tuesday to hear
and give debate about the
proposed symmetrical widening
of Friendly Road. The
symmetrical plan now being
considered by the Commission is
a compromise to take
approximately equal footage
from both the north and south
sides of Friendly, 18 feet in
front of the college gates and 15
from the facing businesses.
In the proposed widening of
the road to five lanes from
Hend erson Street to the
Gilbarco plant, 24 businesses
will have to be relocated. This
will result in an additional cost
of $BBO,OOO for the right of way
over what would have been
necessary if all the needed land
been allocated from the college
side. The Highway Commission
has already determined that this
five lane expansion will be
inadequate to handle the traffic
projected for 1990.
The gist of the February Ist
Student Personnel Service

sabbatical program, summer

policies, and .an AAUP report on

Personnel Services to provide a

debate, presided over by R. W.
McGowan, the assistant chief
engineer of the State Highway
Commission, lay in the college's
hope of historical preservation
against the disruption of the
businesses along Friendly Road.
Grimsley Hobbs, speaking first
in the Western Guilford High
School Auditorium presented
the college's official position in
recognizing "the urgent need"
for the widening of the road and
giving its "unqualified support
of the symmetrical."
Karen Reelhing, a Guilford
senior, challenged the
businessmen's notion that the
vacant college land was
necessarily of less value.
Mrs. Mary Caine, a past
president of the preservation
society also argued for the
conservation of the historical
potential of the Guilford College
Community. She mentioned the
idea of Guilford religion
professor Floyd Moore of
recreating the area as a historic
village, "a Quaker version of Old
Salem."
Sam Talbert, owner of several
of the buildings across from the
campus, said he could not
conceive of the highway
department taking 15 feet off
the front of buildings when
there is open land across the
street. He challenged the
college's "historical argument",
noting that much of the campus
land in question had not been
purchased by Guilford until the
1950'5. Talbert felt, further that
the college had been "ruthless
and slanderous" in the meetings
with the highway commission
which had resulted in the
symmetrical compromise.
The transcript of the hearing
will be used, according to
McGowan, by the highway
commission in making its final
dfirkinn
