Project Planned
Laura Collins, the other co
ordinator, said, "This year we
will be able to get the money from
meetings—l'm worried about the
coming years.
Sea brook mentioned the pro
motional aspects of the trip for
the college vvith the meetings in
the Greensboro area. He plans to
present slide shows and discus
sions of the Jamaica work project
to Greensboro meetings when the
groups return.
Seabrook, who began the
search for a specific work project
last fall, said he felt this trip
could stimulate student interest
because students will know they
can make a difference.
QCC members will depart
March 1 for the 1700 mile trip to
Miami where the group will con
nect with the flight to Kingston,
Jamaica.
Fraziers
The students objected to the in
convenience of having to move in
mid-semester. All 14 Frazier
students offered to pay the Col
lege for their fuel costs this
winter if they are not compelled
to move into empty dorm rooms.
White stressed that these
students, "Have not been a pro
blem. They are ideal residents."
But faculty members have
already been asked to leave the
The group wll use a college van
for transport to Miami. Rental is
$425 round-trip. Seabrook said the
ususal rate per mile is thirty
cents, but the college has given
the group a reduced rate of
twenty-five cents per mile.
Seabrook said the 14 students
and Dick Dyer will stay with area
families while in Jamiaca.
In addition to rennovating the
meeting house during the day,
Seabrook said that the night stu
dent will discuss Quaker issues
that are similar and different in
their hometowns and in Jamaica.
QCC's contacts in Jamaica are
Paul and Felecity Kelcourse of
Friends United Meeting Mis
sionary and Jamaica Yearly
Meeting, Seabrook said.
Collins said, "We're going to
see a side of Jamaica that one
wouldn't see if we just went on
the beaches."

Fraziers, and married students
are waiting to get in, White said.
Dean of students Ken Schwab,a
member of the Administrative
Council, said the Council "took
the matter very seriously." He
reiterated White's statement by
saying the College's "principal
concern" was one of the policy of
utilizing Fraziers as married
housing. He also added, "It was
left that if we did not follow
through (with asking the students
to leave), it would be difficult to
justify what we'd done to the
faculty."
The students maintain,
however, that their greatest pro
blem will be leaving their quiet
Fraziers and living in halls less
conducive to studying. David
Hood said in his letter, "The in
itial reason for which we re
quested a Frazier apartment was
that...we could not effectively
study or sleep in our dorm
rooms."
According to White, the College
last took this action in 1980. He
said that the Administration is
very aware of the "furor" that
such a move excites, but that it is
"trying to be sensitive to (the
students') needs in hopes that
they'll be sensitive to the col
lege's."

II you're wondering how
bankable your college degree
will be when you start job
hunting, there's a new book to
help you out. It's called "The

Jennifer Heath:
Guillemott is someone who
likes to get outside in the sun and
enjoy, not being cooped up in a
dorm.
Michele Beisman-Bolster:
I think of a muddy-yuchy
