AJ 400 Advanced Problems in Criminal Justice [Police]
Dr. Charles McDowell
The course is an examination of key issues confronting the police in
the 1980's, including the financing of police services; policy
formulation; the impact of change, and alternative service systems.
The course will be conducted as a seminar and will require
extensive student participation.
AJ 450 -- Violence John Grice
This course is concerned with the nature, sources, and results of
organized anti-social violence, excluding muggings at one end of
the spectrum of violence and international wars at the other.
Included are the following topics: assassinations, terrorism, riots,
rebellions, and revolutions. Sociological, psychological, economic,
and political theories of anti-social violence will be applied. Texts
will include Arendt, H., On Violence, Davies, J When Men Revolt
and Why, Skolnick, J., The Politics of Protest and as many as three
additional paperbacks yet to be selected. There will be a mid-term
examination on the assigned readings and a twenty-five page
research paper on a topic to be agreed upon between the instructor
and the student. The course will be limited to twenty students and
is not recommended for those who move their lips while reading.
AJ 450 -- Power, Authority, and Crime Dr. Barton Parks
Initially students examine the argument about the spread of
bureaucratic authority in modern life, precisely because it entails
the systematic exercise of power, and promotes manipulative and
defensive orientations between those exercising power and those
over whom it is exercised. This tends to erode motivations
stemming from respect, conscience, and commitment -- traditional
ly associated with ideas of authority -- and to promote disaffection,
disenchantment, and other conditions to which crime is one
response. In struggling with this dilemma, students study topics as
apparently diverse as styles of administrative leadership, the
relationship between powerlessness and violence, and other ideas
of authority rooted in political, religious and philosophical thought.
AJ 400 -• Correctional Reform and Prisoner Rights
Dr. Gus Fernandez
The course covers recent actual and philosophical changes in
corrections. The problems to be studied include organized gangs in
prisons, community based corrections, pre-trial diversion, new
forms of probation and parole, use of volunteers in corrections,
right to treatment movements, and individualization of punish
ment. The course also covers contemporary reforms and issues in
corrections including legal rulings, relations between federal courts
and state prison systems, new jail and prison architectural design,
and the use of determinate sentencing.

REL 250 - Prophecy and Ecstacy Joe Groves
What do Eskimo Shamans, Biblical prophets, voodoo doctors,
American Pentecostals, and Martin Luther King, Jr. have in
common? We will find out by studying the relation of two
widespread religious phenomena: prophecy and ecstasy. The
course will use anthropological, psychological, and sociological
studies to understand what being a prophet entails. These studies
will reveal patterns and connections that underlie seemingly
disparate ecstatic religious experiences in many different societies.
The course is designed as a freshman-sophomore introduction to
the study of religion, but it also is appropriate for more advanced
students. Partially fulfills the humanities requirement.
REL 250 Jung and You Charity James
A broad general introduction to C.G. Jung's insights into the
structure of the human psyche and the implications of his work for
our daily concerns and spiritual life as well as for the arts,
education and study of myth.
REL 250 -- 17th Century Quakerism Dr. Melvin Keiser
Students will explore in detail many of the major thinkers in the
first generation of Quakerism: George Fox, Margaret Fell Fox,
James Nayler, Issac Penington, Mary Penington, William Penn,
and Robert Barclay. Students will focus on the nature of their
interest and of the religious language. What are their central
metaphors? How do they use traditional Christian language? How
do such words relate to actions, life styles, and community form of
worship and silence?
Students will also endeavor to see the first 50 years of Quakerism in
its historical context. What is the impact of the Protestant
Reformation, English Puritanism, Rhineland Mysticism, and
English political history. (Cromwell, the Restoration, and the
Bloodless Revolution)?
While this course is historical, it will be important as well to
consider what significance there is in early Quakerism for us today
in our own religious quests.

HUM 250 -• Condemned to be Free: Canadian Literature Today
Dr. Claude Chauvigne
A completely new offering from Foreign Languages, in keeping
with the international character of Guilford. Canadian literature
Mordechai Richler, Margaret Atwood, Ringuet, Davies, Lemlin --
is neither British, nor French, nor American. It is one of the
best-kept secrets around! Through the novel and some film, Claude
Chauvigne will explore the psyche of a neighbor much too
important to be ignored. Good for humanities credit.

ENG 210 -- Fiction Workshop Dr. Ann Deagon
The purpose of this course is to promote the reading and writing of
short fiction. We will use two texts: one focusing on the process of
writing (Writing in General and the Short Story in Particular) and
the other on the story itself (Writer's Choice, an anthology in which
twenty contemporary writers present their own favorite story.) We
will begin by looking at stories appearing in magazines and
anthologies, and conclude with the writing and revision of our own
stories. Each student will be expected to complete two stories
during the term. Other assignments include a written response to a
collection of stories by a contemporary author, attendance at three
readings of fiction, and preparation and submission of a story for
publication. Class time will be spent on critiquing stories being
written by students and on exercises such as lie-telling and
"automatic" writing. Fulfills arts requirement.
