Lately, Guilford has been
plagued by a rash of security prob
lems. The problems have been
highlighted by the presence of in
truders in the Shore and Milner
residence halls. The recent inci
dents caused a rekeying of Milner
and a twenty-four hour lock-down
of Shore last weekend.
A suspected Milner perpetrator
was apprehended by Security on
February Ist. The arrest followed
the timely notification of Security
by a Guilford student. Police were
then notified and the suspect was
immediately detained.

Senate stops
of new club constitutions
♦♦♦ Overextensions of
funding and student in
volvement cited as rea
sons

Senate/Club Coordinator
The executives of Senate have
temporarily hailed consideration
of new club constitutions.
As Senate President Rich Ewell
explains, there are three constitu
tions for new clubs frozen right
now.
As the situation stands, no con
stitutions will be revised or
brought to Senate meeting discus
sion until careful revisions are
made to rules and regulations
about the creations of clubs.
"This might take a long time to
solve," said Ewell. In the mean
time, no more new club constitu
tions will be approved.
On Wednesday, Feb. 1, the ex
ecutives sent a three-page docu
ment by e-mail to all organizations
on campus. As the document ex
plains, there are three main reasons
that led to this freeze.
The first is the "over-extension
of student power." The executives
believe that there are too few stu
dents that are actively involved in
student organizations. As Ewell
explains, there are difficulties in
finding members for many exist
ing clubs.

Ewell says the creation of new
clubs can only result in overlap
ping membership, instead of re
cruiting more students in differ
ent organizations. An example of
this situation could be noticed in
die creation of the new club, New
Generation Ministries. Many
members of this new Christian
group were members of
Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship.
The second point of the docu
ment reads an "over-extension of
funding capacity." At this point,
there are around 45 clubs at Guil
ford College; of those, 43 have re
ceived funding from Senate. Ac
cording to the document, most
clubs historically do not spend the
entire amount of money allotted to
them. However, this year Senate
has already taken $20,000 from the
reserve funds.
The third and last point ad
dresses the issue of "multiple
officership." According to the
document, some clubs exist only
because of the interest of a couple
of people. It explains that there are
some cases in which two people
serve as the president, vice-presi
dent, secretary and treasurer of the
organizauon.
The document ends by asking
members of the organizations to
give some ideas and suggestions
in order to solve what Senate ex
ecutives believe are problems con
cerning the creation of new clubs
on campus.
