Candidate field narrowed
LUKE PARRIS
staff writer
In the history of Guilford College
there have been only seven presi
dents, and the 1996-97 school year
will open with the eighth. The Presi
dential Selection Committee has
narrowed the field to a few remain
ing candidates and will make its rec
ommendations to the Board of
Trustees later this year.
Monty Milner, a Board of Trust
ees member and chairman of the
Presidential Selection Committee,
stated that we can expect the "final
decision to be made at the end of
the calendar year. The Trustees also
recognize that there is a desire on
behalf of all people involved for the
candidates and the college commu
nity to look at each other before the
process is complete."
Last January, after Bill Rogers
announced his plans to retire June
1996, the Board of Trustees began
95-96 Quaker yearbook lacks editor
JON SIMON
staff writer
The Quaker, Guilford's yearbook, needs an editor
for this year's edition. Last year's editor, Jody Hargus,
will not be at Guilford this year and no one has stepped
up to take her place.
According to Fabio Camara, photo editor of the
1994-95 book, there will be many changes made to
the yearbook process this year.
Camara is looking for better advising and a struc
ture where the yearbook is not entirely in the editor's
hands. "Things were tough last year," says Camara.
"We learned to make the yearbook by trial and error
and didn't have an active instructor or advisor."
Right now the yearbook is looking at two different
faculty members for the advising position, but the
names were not revealed.
"It's an emergency type situation and we are ex
ploring [options] right now/' says Senate President

the intensive process of selecting
the new president of Guilford Col
lege. In order to include as much
of the college community as pos
sible, the Trustees set up three
separate committees: the Presiden
tial Criteria Committee, the Presi
dential Search Committee and the
Presidential Selection Committee.
On each committee there were
members of the student body, the
faculty, the staff, the administra
tion and the Board of Trustees.
The committees were set up
uniquely: each committee had dif
ferent members and performed dif
ferent functions in the process. The
Trustees wanted more student, fac
ulty and staff involvement in the
process, and they found most par
ties involved had "amazingly com
mon opinions" of what would be
good for Guilford.
During February, the Presiden
tial Criteria Committee met,
drafted, and in March, approved
Stephanie Jennings. 'The idea is to see if we can pro
vide some more support in terms of good advising
and learning."
Camara emphasized that they are looking for an
editor who can get this year's staff together and or
ganize the preliminary work. Yearbook staff can get
credits for helping and also have the incentive of hav
ing created a great yearbook when it is finished.
"We are looking for someone who is organized and
is willing to delegate," stresses Jennings.
First-year students are encouraged to be involved
as much as the rest of the school, especially if they've
already had yearbook experience.
The yearbook for the past year should be distrib
uted in eight weeks. After a long, hot summer and
many hours of work, Camara, Hargus and other year
book staff completed the larger-than-usual yearbook.
It is now in the process of being published.
both the criteria statement —the
document by which all candidates
are judged—and the advertise
ment, which was published in The
Chronicle of Higher Education.
Along with the basic criteria for
a president, such as interpersonal
skills and academic leadership,
"familiarity and support for
Quaker values" was also included
in the criteria.
"You are more likely to attract
outstanding people if you start out
stating what you want; we have
attracted people who want to come
to Guilford," Milner commented.
After the criteria were set, the
Presidential Search Committee
met and began the process of
screening the applications.
A small group of outstanding
candidates were selected and the
third committee, the Presidential
Selection Committee, met in late
May to continue narrowing down
the pool of candidates.
