Page six Guilfordiam, April 22, 1981 You think you got problems? By Dennis Kirschbaum Even since my appointment to the post of minister of vocabulary, many members of the studentry and faculty have come to me with difficult pro blems concerning, spelling, pronounciation, and meaning This was quite within my ex pectations; it seemed to me just a part of the mass of responsi bility I had taken on. However, what I was totally unprepared for was the sudden /influx of requests for advice concerning matters in peoples personal lives. However, having long noticed the need for an advice service in the Cuilfordian, I spoke with the editor and he agreed that something like this Letters education. Being exposed to only one perspective will tend to give a student a simplistic idea of "reality" in the world, because both sides of an issue are not presented. I do want to sound overly critical here because I do not think (at least I hope not) that any professor goes into a course, with the purpose of converting students to their respective ideology. But in advertently a professor will tend to place more emphasis upon the theories in which he/she believes. This seems to be a common trait in all teachers (including teachers outside of Guilford). I stress this point because this trait does not make one a poor teacher. Unfortu nately, there has been a tend ency, in some departments, to have only one point of view represented on the faculty.

Just to give you an idea of some of the pleas for advice that I have received thus far, a letter is printed below: All letters will be kept strictly confidential. Dear Kirsch: Every morning my roommate wakes up at 5:00 A.M. and begins to sing Italian aria at the top of his lungs. The guys living next door to us are getting kinda upset and I've been losing a would be nice to see a little diversity in a few departments. Sincerely, Bill Blackmen A fine job Dear Editor, Over the years, I have heard members of this community express a lack of confidence in the Judicial Board. This has probably been the result of rumors or a limited knowledge of individual cases. This year I have served as an alternate faculty member on the Judicial Board. For various reasons, I have been present each time the Board has heard a case. I feel therefore that I would like to share with the community my perceptions of little sleep over it myself. What should I do? Sincerely, Prehomicidal Dear Pre: Just relax. Your roommate is probably just sad Perhaps due to his upbringing he knows no other way to express it. Does he wake up naturally at that hour? Perhaps you could set his alarm clock ahead a few hours. Are you sure he is really singing; it sounds to me like he may be lonely and moaning for atten tion. Try talking to him how and then instead of trying to block your ears to his moans. from p the student members of this year's Judicial Board. I cannot recall working with a group of students who are as serious and concerned about their important role in a campus organization. Each of them listened carefully to all the evidence and based their decis ions on the information pre sented. They were unbiased and completely fair in all their deliberations. They accepted their responsibilities with ma urity and good judgement. There were probably decis ions made which were viewed by defendents and others as being too harsh or not harsh enough. It is always easy to criticize the decisions of any judicial body -- especially if you are not aware of all the facts of a particular case. I hope that all members of this community will take time to consider the important role played by the student members of the Judicial Board. I also hope that you will take time to thank them for the fine way they respond to the sometimes thankless job they are called upon to perform.

The significance of the survey was to determine which stores had the lowest prices in a comparable market basket survey. Two stores from each chain were used in the survey. The following chart represents the sum total (unweighted averages) of twenty common food items found within the three chains. The surveys were taken on March 16, March 30, and April 13. Bestway " 3/30 4/13 Quaker Village $24.21 23.20 24.05 Phillips Ave. $24.23 23.91 24.11 Food World Meadowview Rd. $23.63 23.20 22.54 West Market $23.75 23.20 22.65 Food Rite Friendly Ave. $25.60 25.14 25.22 Asheboro St. $25.89 25.75 25.65 As a whole. Food Rite was more expensive than Bestway, and both, respectively, were higher than Food World. In addition, Food Rite was consistently more out of stock in the items surveyed than either Food World or Bestway.

Any residential student receiving need-based assistance and operating a vehicle on campus will have his/her contri bution increased by an amount equal to 10% of the mean Blue Book value of the car. In other words, the student's demon strated need will be reduced by that amount. All vehicles will be assumed to have a minimum value of $400.00. It is important to note that there is an appeal process available to students who feel they have not been given fair and equitable treatment in the assessment of their financial need. Those who feel strongly that theirs is a particularly warranted special circumstance may appeal, in writing, to the Chairperson of the Financial Aid Committee.
