committees
seeing lack
of interest
-Reforms last
year paved way
for more student
represetation
By Chris Shattuck
STAFF WRITER
Guilford's institutional
committees are essential to the
governance of the school. As
such, many believe it is crucial
that these committees are not
made solely of faculty and ad
ministration, but have student
members as well.
There are over 35 different
committees this year, which
cover a myriad of topics, from
facilities to cultural pluralism
and the art gallery advisory,
and deal with how school funds
are spent, policy making and
legal issues.
"Student involvement in
these committees is a way that
we enact our philosophy that
this is a community of seekers
and learners where all voices
are important in decision mak
ing," said Mona Olds, Dean of
Student Life, who sits on sev
eral committees herself. "It
helps students have a deeper
perspective of their college as
well as how a complex system
works."
In a general move last year
to increase student representa
tion on institutional commit
tees, former Senate Vice Presi
dent Linda Johnson rallied sup
port and wrote a proposal,
which was approved, to increase
student representation.
However, this year many
sense a general lack of student
interest in these committees. So
far, of the 21 committees with
openings for student represen
tatives, only five have been
filled.

Molly Martin
found on campus

On Thursday, Oct. 29 at about
1:00 a.m. an unnamed Guilford
staff member found former senate
president Molly Martin in a dis
oriented state in the parking lot
behind Dana Auditorium.
The Greensboro Police De
partment was called and an inves
tigation of the incident began.
Upon closer inspection, some sort
of writing was found on her body.
Martin told authorities that
while driving ________________
to her home in
Charleston,
W.Va., she

As they have done in the
past, hordes of students attacked
the information desk to receive
their 1997-1998 yearbooks.
Students congregated in the

According to re

No one else appears

Mona Olds would only say, "The
[Greensboro] News and Record
article covered the incident thor
oughly and in a humane way."
But with a large number of
questions regarding this latest in
cident left unanswered by
Guilford's administration, many
students are questioning whether
or not the entire story is being told
and some students definitely sus
pect a cover-up by the administra-
further.
Regard
ing the inci
dent, Don
McNemar
once again
stated that,
"We here at
Guilford have
popular pit of orange Jell-O.
But like everything else at
Guilford, not everyone was sat
isfied with what they found.
"I was more disappointed
with how much time it took us to
get it than anything else," says
Jacob Noble. "I thought we were
supposed to get it at the end of
last year, not the beginning of
this year. Timeliness is key in
the yearbook. There are seniors
from last year who are gone, and
I'm sure they would really like to
have their yearbooks."
Timeliness was the least of
some students' complaints. "I
liked it, but it needed more color
pages," says Idris Coleman.
"Also, the index gave page num
bers, but there weren't any num
bers on the pages."
Cassie Morgan added, "The
elimination of the page numbers
really threw me off when I
wanted to find pictures of my
friends."
