answered a lot of the questions that I've
had about Guilford."
Many believe that the more Guilford
students understand the values and history
of Quakerism and its rich connection to
Guilford College, the more students will be
connected to the community as a whole.
Betsy Blake, co-clerk of the Quaker
Leadership Scholars Program and teach
ing assistant for Carter's Quakerism class,
strongly believes that, "If people at Guilford
had a better understanding of and thus re
spect for Quaker traditions and values, the
students would have more unity which then
leads to power."
Quaker Heritage week gives every
one the opportunities to open their minds
and expand their understanding of the world

around them. Blake feels that a verse in
Corinthians best explains the relationship
between Quakerism and the Guilford com
munity:
"For the body itself is not made up of
only one part, but many parts. If the foot
were to say, 'Because I am not a hand, I
don't belong to the body,' that would not
keep it from being part of the body.
"And if the ear were to say, 'Because
I am not an eye, I don't belong to the body,'
that would not keep it from being part of
the body. If the whole body were just an
eye, how could it hear? And if it were only
an ear, how could it smell? As it is, how
ever, God put every part in the body just
where he wanted it to be.
"There would not be a body if it were
all only one part.
"As it is, there are many parts but
one body."(Corinthians 12:14)

Cameron will relocate to New
York, where he'll become the assis
tant curator of the New York Botani
cal Gardens. Cameron says, "It's a
dream job, really."
Byrnes will go to Pacific
Lutheran University, which has a
thriving program in secondary edu
cation, his area of expertise.
Wellman will become the new direc-
tor of the Center for
Ethics at Georgia
State University.
Wellman ech
oes, "It was a
dream offer, the
type of position I
thought I might be
qualified for 15 or
20 years down the
line."
All three are
confident Guilford
can find a strong
teacher to take his
place.
"Guilford should be able to at
tract talented junior faculty mem
bers," Byrnes says. "It has a lot to
offer."
But some strengths will be in
evitably lost in the exchange.
Cameron says, "Being one of
the few openly gay faculty members
is something that's important. Three
of the five openly gay faculty and
staff on campus will have left after
this year. From a diversity standpoint,
that's a sad thing, and nobody brings
it up."
Some students worry that these
three departures reveal a pattern of
the future.
"I was one of the students on
the committee that decided to hire
Ken," says Gretchen Richards, a
third-year biology major. "When we
hired him, he really seemed to un
derstand what Guilford was about.
To see that just two years later he is
leaving makes me wonder if it is
something about Guilford that's mak
ing him go.
"I hope that all three of them

leaving at once is a coincidence."
Byrnes is unwilling to draw con
clusions about what his departure
means. "I'd caution people about
generalizing about my decision, Kit's
decision, Ken's decision. I don't
know whether this is a trend.
"Time will tell whether Guilford
continues to be a place faculty will
want to be and will want to spend
their whole careers at."

faculty and Clerk's Committee will

help decide how to replace these
three. " Their departments will prob
ably request a tenure-track replace
ment," Wayman says.
If so, that will make six depart
ments which have asked for tenure
track positions: biology, philosophy,
history, psychology, music, and En
glish.
Two other departments, sociol
ogy-anthropology and justice and
policy studies, have appealed earlier
decisions on tenure-track positions.
Clerk's Committee will review
each department's request individu
ally and recommend that it be left
vacant, filled temporarily, or filled
with a tenure-track position. These
recommendations then pass on to
Don McNemar, who decides on
them.
Tenure-track positions, where
awarded, will not be filled until 1999,
so some temporary hiring is likely.
"Clerk's committee will look at
the needs of each department and
decide what should happen,"
Wayman concludes.
