coordinator's positions and
eleven residence hall intern's

In an interview on April 14
Bell, answered questions
concerning his outlook for the
coming year. Mr. Bell was
extremely willing to answer
questions and to provide
information. There were two
topics around which our
discussion centered: enroll
ment for the coming semester,
and the financial status of
Guilford College.
On admissions, Mr. Bell
stated that the Admissions
Office would not know the
actual number of new students
until late May. He added that
although the applications were
slow in coming at first, the
rate at which they have been
received in the past few
months nearly makes up for
the earlier deficit. While there
is no expected increase in
enrollment, one must take into
account the fact that there was
on ads. As a bonus, the
Business Manager will receive
20% after the first SISOO. Up
to four hours of academic
credit may be earned. This is
an outstanding opportunity to
bring together the academic
and practical sides of
education. To apply, call
294-0883.
Although the interns were
selected, their location has not
been determined.

a 20 per cent increase from the
1973-74 year to this one.
Another thing which may
surprise a few people, is that
there are more students
attending Guilford now (970)
than there were during the fall
semester of last year (961).
Every year Guilford has had
between 85 and 91 per cent of
its present non-senior student
body return. If 85 per cent
come back in the fall only 340
new students are needed for
the college to operate in a
similar fashion as this year.
As far as the financial status
of Guilford is concerned,
although Mr. Bell admitted he
was not an expert on the
subject, he summed it up by
saying, "Guilford College has
never once in its existence
operated in the red." It is one
of the few schools in the
country which can truthfully
say this.
Last Issue
Due to the coming of exams,
the exhaustion of budget and
staff, and the epidemic of
spring fever, this will be the
last issue of the Guilfordian
for this semester.
Final Budget
Passed
The Community Senate, on
the night of April 16th, passed
with a wide margin the final
budget for the academic year,
1975-1976. This Final budget
differs from the proposed
budget which appeared in last
week's Guilfordian due to the
addition of SSOO to 8.A.5.1.8.,
SIOO to 1.R.C., S2OO to
Intramurals, and SIOO to
S.P.S.
Also passed was the motion
to start a New Founders Fund.
This fund will be controlled by
the Senate and will be used to
pay for equipment to go into
the new building, i.e. sound
system, light system, recrea
tion room items. Decisions
about the actual spending of
this fund will be made by the
Senate next fall.

Academic Dean, Cyril Harvey
New Faculty
Beginning fall Semester
next year, Guilford College
will be having six new
professors in the Fields of
Accounting, Sociology, Psych
ology, Economics, and Biol
ogy. The reason for hiring
these new professors is
because four current profes
sors are leaving and the
Accounting and Economics
Departments each need one
more professor.
Jerry Godard, Academic
Dean of Warren-Wilson Col
lege, has been hired in the
Psychology Dept. Godard first
came to Guilford in 1966 as
Assistant to the President and
later served as Executive
Dean. He was a very popular
professor at Guilford and
resigned in 1973 to accept the
oositon at Warren-Wilson.
The Biology Dept. will have
Frank Keegan as an assistant
professor. Keegan is from
Queens College of City Univ.,
N.Y. and is a graduate fellow.
He has received all his
degrees from Queens and City
Univ.
The positions in Sociology,
Economics and Accounting
have, as of presstime, not
been Filled. But* Cyril Harvey,
Academic Dean, feels confi
dent that those positions will
be filled hopefully by the end
of May and 1 deFinitely by fall
semester of next year.
The process used in hiring
these teachers is basically
a personal one. The process
is: advertising in two or
April 22, 1975
three national educational
journals; contacting people
Guilford knows who might be
interested in a position; and
unsolicited applications that
are sent in constantly and kept
on file.
The Chairman of the Dept.
needing a position filled,
usually takes around 1 or 2
months to gather all the
names of prospective appli
cants. This list, which runs
from 20 to 120 names, is then
narrowed down to eight or ten.
The chairman, along with
Dean Harvey, looks over the
applicant's resume and selects
2 or 3 of them to be invited to
Guilford for personal inter
views.
The applicants then visit
Guilford and have interviews
with the President, /Asst.* to
the President, Academic
Dean, Chairman of the Dept.
they have applied for and the
Faculty Committee. Hopefully
they will also have a chance to
meet with some of the
students and really get an idea
of what the Guilford College
Community is like.
Dean Harvey explained that
the reason this process is so
complicated and intricate
"People make the difference
at this college. And, we try to
make a maximum effort to get
good people here at Guil
ford." Guilford also tries to
get professors with a national
as well as regional background
for a more diversified learning
experience.
