Res Life to offer more
housing options
COLIN MCFADDEN-ROAN
staff writer
In coordination with the Resi
dential Life Office, Student Resi
dence Council has adopted sev
eral changes in student housing
for next year. SRC used a survey
of 276 students to determine what
changes students wanted.
"The most im- ______
portant way to
make students
happy is by find
ing out what they
want and then do
ing it," said SRC
chair Allie
Randall. She and
*
her committee
feel that is what
they've accom
plished by getting
"[Substance-free
housing] is a great
way of ensuring that
everyone is happy.
They should have
come up with that a
long time ago."
• King Tang
these alterations implemented.
Called for by 74% of those sur
veyed was an extension of the
coed housing policy currently
used in Milner. This change will
be made in Binford.
There, the first floor will re
main male and the third floor will
remain female but the configura
tion of the second floor will be
altered. Like in Milner, one end
will be female and one end male.
Males and females will live ev
ery other room on the T-wing.
There will be a smoke-free wing
on one end of Biriford's first and
third floors (not the T-wing). 55%
of those surveyed requested this.
Two students receive
grants for research projects
STAFF REPORT
The Guilford College Physics
Department has awarded
Jeglinski Physics Awards to a pair
of Guilford Students to enable
each student to complete an in
dependent scientific research
project.
These awards, valued at S2OOO
were established by Loretta
Jeglinski of Greensboro and her
son, Steven Jeglinski, in memory
of their husband and father,
Boleslaw Jeglinski, and their son
and brother Michael Jeglinski,
who was a student at Guilford.
Sara Anderson, a senior major
ing in physics and political science,
is conducting a research on "2.3
micrometer Spectroscopy of a
Cluster in Im Galaxy NGC 4449."
March 14,1997
Most of those people surveyed
also felt comfortable with a slight
raise in the price for singles. It is
currently four hundred dollars ex
tra per semester but would be
come five hundred dollars per se
mester if approved by the Institu
tional Budget Committee.
"I think that's too much," said
Milner resident
Erica Hamilton,
expressing the
sentiments of
many. "They
should only pay a
slight fee."
SRC and most
surveyed felt this
was a reasonable
hike, considering
the college's cur
rent financial
situation. Of course, there will
continue to be no extra cost for
those in severe medical or finan
cial need or for those placed in a
room designated as a single be
cause of its size.
As concerns incoming stu
dents, 45% reported on the sur
vey that they were incompatible
with their first-year roommate.
Because of this, a new and thorough
four-page (as opposed to the cur
rent one-page) lifestyle survey will
be given to all new students to bet
ter match them with a roommate.
Along these lines, a Lifestyle
Agreement will be mandated
for all first-year students. In the
Anderson will reduce and ana
lyze near-infrared spectra in the
2.3 micrometer range of a cluster
near the center of a giant irregu
lar galaxy know as NGC 4449.
The strength of the carbon
monoxide absorption feature, cen
tered at this wavelength, acts as
an indicator of the type of stellar
population present. By analyzing
the strength of this feature and
comparing it to known objects and
theoretical models, Anderson will
be able to fit a population profile
into the cluster.
Once she completes her thesis
defense, Anderson plans to
present her findings at the 190 th
American Astronomical Society
Meeting in Winston-Salem, NC in
June.
past, Lifestyles Agreements have
been downplayed. First-years
and their roommates will work
them out with CHAOS leaders,
their Resident Advisor, and the
Conflict Resolution Resource
Center.
A pilot program for next year
is substance-free housing. A sig
nificant minority (41%) of those
students who answered the survey
approved of this. A student can
request substance-free housing on
the housing contract. Students
who do so will then be clustered
together in the dorm they choose.
"That's a great way of ensur
ing that everyone is happy," said
Milner resident King Tang in
showing support for the proposal.
"They should have come up with
that a long time ago."
SRC recently pushed through
Senate a resolution requesting
that the Campbell House (where
political science offices were) be
used as Alternative Housing.
Nearly two-thirds of those sur
veyed requested more Alterna
tive Housing on campus.
Campbell house does need
repair. However, both Pope
House and The Pines are in
more dire need of repair and
could be put aside for a semes
ter to be refurbished. Facilities
Committee would decide that.
Five or six students could live
in the Campbell House.
Anderson will be working with
Thomas Espinola, associate pro
fessor of physics.
Nicholas Remmes, a senior
majoring in physics and math
ematics, is working on a project
involving sonoluminescence.
Ultrasonic sound passing
through water can produce a phe
nomena known as cavitation
where bubbles form and then col
lapse. Under certain conditions, the
bubbles will form light when they
collapse (hence sonoluminescence
light from sound).
Remmes is attempting to pro
duce and study a single bubble in
a standing sound wave and force
it to luminesce. Remmes will be
working with physics professor
Rex Adelberger on the project.
