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."

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) News Faculty CONTINUED FROM PG 1 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 Perfection is our goal, but we don't always achieve it. The Guilfordian strives to correct all errors, so please contact us at x 2306 if you see a mistake. Our circulation goal is to have a paper in the campus mailbox of every person on campus by noon on Friday. If you do not receive your paper, please contact the publications suite at x 2306. 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." Adele Wayman, the clerk of the faculty and Clerk's Committee will Hp Kit Wellman is taking a job at Georgia Tech. PHOTO BY AGNES SECERKADIC 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. Corrections The Guilfordian March 27,1998
