A voyeur was found peering into
a shower stall in Shore Hall on
Thursday, March 28 at 10:33pm.
The man was spotted by the victim
and another resident, but neither
were able to give a clear descrip
tion.
Two similar incidents occured
in Binford Hall on Jan. 18 and 20,
but it is unknown whether the
events are related, according to
Security officer Don Jackson.
The suspect in the former inci
dents was described as being a

hair, approximately 25 years old
and s'B" with a medium build.
Witnesses said the the suspect was
wearing a mustard or brown leather
jacket, blue jeans, and tennis shoes.
After Security received a report
Thursday night, an officer searched
the area, but was unable to locate
the suspect. He took a report and
the information was used to post
Security Alert Bulletins regarding
the incident.
A mandatory meeting was held
on Sunday at 10:00 for Shore resi
dents, at which Officer Jackson
and Helen Mulhearn and Carrie
Eby from Security informed resi
dents about the incident.
A 24-hour lockdown has been
ordered at Shore for at least a week,
during which passage will be al
lowed through only one door.
Jackson reminded residents not
to prop doors open or to let strang
ers into the dorm and to make sure
it is clear who visitors are coming
to see. Also, residents were asked
to keep room doors locked and to
close and lock the kitchen window
after using it.
Security officers will be con
tinuing regular patrols of Shore;
however, Jackson stressed the im
portance of reporting incidents
immediately, this being the most
likely way a suspec* would be ap
prehended.

Officer at Guilford College, will
resign on May 3 to accept the
position of executive director of

with leaving," explained Newlin.
"I will always appreciate the
professional and growth oppor
tunities thatGuilford has afforded

What I will miss most are the

since I served as its executive
director many years ago and also
served on its board for eleven

me to provide the leadership that
it needs and deserves," said
