"If I could change anything
at Guilford College, it would
be for more people to speak
more directly about their
feelings," says junior

"I'm glad to be back here
after being at UNCG," says
Rebecca
Potter, a senior. She likes
Guilford's small size the
most. She makes the point
that when you know the
other students, their com
ments mean more because
you know where they are
coming from. She doesn't
like all the forms, red tape
and the off-campus policy.
Dick Dyer, associ
ate dean of advising, wants
to spend more time and en
ergy this semester "getting
back to those students who
have made significant and
positive changes," as well as
"spending more time affirm
ing, thanking, encouraging
those students who are each
contributing in some fashion,
i.e. if I write a kid who has
two D's, I ought to write him
if he has two B's." As a
school, he says, "We need—
faculty, staff, students, and
administration—to be more
consciously and overtly
thankful, supportive and af
firming to ensure that people
enjoy working and living
here."

"I've been thinking about
this a lot," he says, smiling.
He wishes there was more in
tercollegiate activity. Bring
ing up the fact that there are
five or six colleges in the
area, he says, "Not once have
I been to UNCG." He sug
gests there be more
intramurals with other
schools and general transpor
tation such as busing be
tween the schools.
Patricia Herrero, a first-year student, is im-
pressed and happy to see so many active and vocal women
in positions of student leadership. She would like to see
more teachers of different ethnicities, and thus encourages
certain departments to make a stronger effort to recruit teach
ers of color. As well, she'd like to see more of a sincere
effort to bring more students with socio-economic and ra
cial diversity. "Let's see real diversity," she says.

Jose Roberto, a junior, came to Guilford from
Central America because he
wanted a small school ini
tially in order to adjust to the
U.S. before moving on to a
larger graduate school. He
hopes to graduate in business
or economics and to help en
lighten the Guilford commu-
nity on the real issues in Central America, not the stilted,
left-sided ones portrayed in the media.

Asa k o
Morikawa, a sophomore,
likes Guilford's small size
and small classes. She likes
the closeness possible with
professors. As a theater ma
jor, she is disappointed in the
quality of the theater depart
ment. She also feels the li
brary is too small. More cul
tural exchange and a closer
relationship between Guil
ford and Interlink would
make her happy.

"My goal is to follow

Terrence
Laster, a senior. "I just
want to spend as much time
as I can with people I care

this is very important to me."
Referring to his job as year
book co-editor, he continues,
"I wish to produce a quality

enough enthusiasm so that
next year's yearbook will
