Crisis situations in six
states, whole cities shut
down, 548,000 workers laid
off, schools closed, crops
destroyed, and the President
appealing to Congress for
emergency authority. The
disasterous Winter of 1977 has
produced headlines which
read like the plot of a low
budget science fiction
movie.
Artie air sweeping down
upon the East and Midwest
is the cause of the worst
winter in 41 years. Record
due no later than noon on
February 11.
Any exemptions to the
above must be petitioned to
SAC Advisory Board. A
special meeting of this board
will be called on February 9
to consider any reasonable
requests for exemption from
any of the four qualifications
listed above. If anyone on
your ticket will be requesting
this consideration please turn
in your Petition for Candidacy
as well as your Petition for
Exemption from Qualifications
to the Information Desk no
later than noon on February
8. Petitions for Exemption
should contain clear reasons
why exemption should be
given.
Contact Elwood parker,
Chairman of SAC, or Elections
Committee if you have any
questions concerning this
procedure. All SAC decisions
will be final. If onw member
of your ticket does not meet
these requirements the entire

does not keep you from sub
mitting a new qualified ticket
before the Feb. 11 deadline
however. m There will be no
exceptions for deadlines, so
be prompt!
Coldest January Since 1893?
low temperatures are being set
from Michigan to Florida.
The effects of the
extended period of bitter cold
range from 22 deaths in
Minnesota to a shortage of
carbon dioxide for the
production of carbonated
beverages in Georgia.
Shortages of natural gas,
spurred by the unusually cold
weather, have shut down
almost 9,000 industrial plants
and made evacuation of
homes in some areas neces
sary. Energy emergencies
have been declared in Ohio,

Pit to arrange rides. The work
shop will count as a regular
meeting with mandatory
attendance.
Ellen Pollock is chairing
the Senate elections commit
tee. Plans are being made to
send out information on
Indiana, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York, and
Tennessee.
The sting of the cold will
be felt in pocketbooks as
well as fingers and toes. Fruit
and vegetable prices are
expected to increase through
out the eastern half of the
nation due to the devastation
of Florida's citrus and vege
table crops.
Though North Carolinians

more catastrophic weather

as well as dates, to all students.
The elections are planned for
the 23rd and 24th of February,
with Friday, the 11th as the
final petition date.
Peter Riechard presented a
proposal for a party room in
Founders Hall. The proposal
calls for transforming the
present art studio into a
party-game room that individ
uals can reseve for keg parties.
The proposal restricts kegs in
the dorms with the purpose
of keeping large-scale parties
from interfering with studying,
sleeping, fire laws, etc. The
Senate voted to support the
proposal, which will go before
the Board of Trustees this
weekend. Copies will be avail
able in the Senate Office.
Respectfully submitted,
Amie Williams, Secretary
Community Senate
National Weather Service says
this month has been the
coldest January ever recorded
in the Piedmont area, through
the first 28 days the temper
ature has averaged 26.9
degrees. The old record was
30.8 set in 1893. February
predictions call for continuing
cold weather.
The only salvation available
in 1977 is the same found by
the folks back in 1893: Spring
time, with lots of blankets and
sweaters in the mean time.
Arson
on Campus
BY FORREST HUGHES
Arson was determined to be
the cause of a fire which
occured in King Hall
Wednesday.
Bob White, head of Guilford
College Security, said there
was "no connection" between
this fire and the cases of arson
which occurred at Guilford
last semester.
The fire was set in class
room 223 at 5 p.m. and was
promptly discovered by
students working in a nearby
psychology lab. The students
pulled the fire alarm and then
extinguished the blaze.
The only damage reported
was burned carpeting and
smoke damage to the walls
of the room.
The crime is under investi
gation by the Greensboro
Police and the Greensboro Fire
Department. The cases of
arson which occurred last
semester are still being
investigated.
Candidates' Night is
scheduled for February 21 at
7:30 p.m. in the Commons
Room (Passion Pit), Founders
Hall. Candidates will
receive more information
concerning this at a later date.
In the event that no one
ticket gets more than 50% of
the total vote, a runoff election
will be held on March 3.
The Election Committee
members are: Ellen Pollock,
Chairman (855-3886); Christie
Fletcher (292-3318); and John
Richardson (855-9867). Please
feel free to contact any of us
if you have further questions.
