Has "Winter Wonderland" Lost its Appeal?

If you take any philosophy
courses in the future, you just
might end up taking them
under a rabbi.
Jonathon Malino is a new
member of the philosophy
department this semester. He
comes to us from Columbia
University, where he has been
pursuing his rabbinical studies
while teaching. He has also
taught at Oxford in England
and at Hebrew University in
Jerusalem.
He has plunged himself into
the teaching here at Guilford.
He is presently teaching
Philosophy of Religion, Philos
ophy and Psychology of
Language, and BHTC. He
reports Guilford students to be

interested and outspoken, and
also friendly.
A job was not the only thing
that drew Jonathon Malino to
Greensboro. His wife is a
specialist in women's economic
history in the United States,
and she hopes to get a job
in Greensboro relating to that
field. Also, the quality of the
Greensboro and Guilford
College communities appealed
to the couple, who have a five
year old daughter and a fifteen
month old son.
Guilford is just the sort of
college Jonathon Malino was
looking for in seeking a teach
ing position, and we are lucky
to have him.
Library Extends Pardon in Carter Fashion
BY DAMON HICKEY
In response to President
Jimmy Carter's announce
ment Friday of a general
pardon for those who resisted
the draft during the Vietnam
War, the Guilford College
Library has announced a
general pardon for borrowers
who owe library fines. As of
the day of Carter's pardon,
fines were forgiven provided
that the overdue materials are
returned between January 21
and January 31. The pardon
down not apply to money
owed for lost materials, to
fines for overdue materials not
brought back by the deadline,
or to unpaid fines for materials
previously returned.
In announcing the pardon,
the library administration stated
that, "Although the pardon
ing powers of librarians are
limited, we want to do what
we can to express the spirit
of reconciliation that our new
president has shown. Many
have suffered because of
religious and personal opposi
tion to wars. As a Quaker
school with a 'Peace
Testimony,' we cannot fail to
celebrate Jimmy Carter's
action in bringing to a close
this bitter and divisive period
of our national life."
Judicial Process
Report II
BY DOUG NEILL
In the last article, I discussed
the process a student goes
through if he/she is charged
with a violation of Guilford
College's social and academic
policies. In that article I only
discussed the process involved
with the Campus Judicial
Board. A variety of other
options are open to the
student if he/she is charged
with a violation.
In matter concerning social
regulations (as discussed in
the Guilford College Code
book), a student may choose
to have an Administrative
Hearing instead of having a
hearing before the Campus
Judicial Board. To have an
January 25,1977
Library fines at Guilford
College are among the
lowest charged by any
academic library, amounting
to only a nickel a day. Most
materials can be checked out
for three weeks and may be
renewed as many times as
the borrowers want provided
that no other borrower has
asked for them. If someone
loses library materials the
library will stop fining the
person as soon as he or she
reports the loss, although the
borrower must still pay to
replace what he or she has
lost. Still, according to the
Guilford librarians, despite
overdue notices and the liberal
policy some people accumulate
staggering fines. It is these
people who will benefit most
from the pardon, while the
community will benefit by
getting their materials back
where they can circulate again.
Jimmy Carter's action
Friday, only one day after
he assumed the office of
president, drew criticism from
both those who favored no
special treatment for draft
resisters and those who
wanted a general amnesty for
military deserters also. North
Carolina Senator Jesse Helms
was especially critical
administrative hearing, it must
be agreed upon by the
Complainant and the Defend
ant. This hearing would be
held before the Director of
Student Services or designate,
and the Chairperson of
Student Affairs Committee
with both the plaintiff and
defendant present. When a
decision is made on the out
come of the hearing, it must
be agreed upon by all parties
involved. A written statement
signed by all four parties
specifying the charge, the
findings of the hearing, and
the disciplinary action taken is
but said he admired Carter
for saying in his presidential
campaign that he would pardon
draft resistors. During that
campaign Carter distinguished
between amnesty, which he
said implied approval of a
person's actions, and pardon,
which according to Carter
means, "Whether what you
did is right or wrong, you
ar forgiven." The Guilford
College Library, likewise,
will "ask no questions of those
with overdue materials. All
they need do is drop the
materials in the return slot at
the Library desk or in the box
on the front porch between
January 21 and 31, and their
fines will be cancelled."
Wednesday Evaluation...
If anyone is interested in
having views expressed
Concerning the use of Wed
nesdays, please attend an
open meeting of the Clerk's
Committee on Wednesday,
January 26, at 1:30 p.m. in the
Moon Room. If you cannot
attend and want to submit
your views, please put them

Stoneburner.
placed in the student's file. If
an agreement is not reached,
the case would automatically
be sent to the Campus
Judicial Board.
A second right that both the
plaintiff and the defendant
have is to ask for a change
of venue. If a student
wishes, he/she may petition
to the Chairperson of the
Student Affairs Committee to
ask for a hearing by the
Student Affairs Committee
and thus bypass the Campus
Judicial Board. The Chair
person or the Campus
Judicial and the Student
Affairs Committee will
decide on whether or not a
change of venue will be
granted.

about the judicial process
please contact me or refer to
the Guilford College Code
book.
