"They still have the gumption
to stay here and have this risk in
jobs and this says a lot about their
commitment to and appreciation of
this place," she said.

is what?... They give more than an
eight per cent return now."
Blaine Lukkar, a junior, said
the interaction with the two women
he has seen for the past three years
in the bookstore is as important as
the bottom line.
"I think little by little we're
showing signs of a corporation and
that's very scary," he added.
Senate President Gary Young
said he wished students would fo
cus more on the good aspects of the
college community. He said people
were talking about one issue and
that even if the decision to outsource
is painful in the short term, "we will
come back full circle."
Pam Henry said, "In my recol
lection less than SI,OOO has been
spent on upkeep in my 11 years
here...lf all along a small percent
age had been kept in escrow so we

be in this situation. I would like to
know exactly what the college ex
pects of us. We're not even looking
at the bookstore as it exists, we're
looking at alternatives right now."
"Are we really willing to invest
in the things we say are important?"

Don McNemar responded to student concerns about outsourcing.
Santes Beatty, Director of African
American Affairs, said. "I don't
think we're being honest. It's like
schizophrenia—one minute we're a
community, next minute we're not.
We're talking about getting rid of
what I consider family."
After remaining quiet for most
of the meeting, Art Gillis, the
college's chief financial officer, spoke
up to address the questions that had
been reiterated by students.
"Most of the things being
talked about aren't my responsibil
ity," Gillis said. "There are lots of
good things that have gone on for
many years and lots of serious prob
lems, not un-overcomable, but seri
ous problems."

NOVEMBER I 3, 1 998
Gillis said the school could not
afford to do everything it wants to
do. He said the trustees have been
very supportive in providing what
he called seed money but that "we're
not going to do everything right or
everything well."
Responding to student ques
tions about outsourcing, McNemar
said that the task force needs to
complete its work before the college
makes a decision. "I don't know
what the issues are," McNemar
said. "The committee is addressing
that."
McNemar said that from the
committee the issue goes to him and
he will make a recommendation to the
Board of Trustees in January.
Most of the students present at
the meeting urged Guilford's admin
istration to consider the personal and
human consequences of outsourcing.
"I want Guilford to back up its values
or change the way you advertise the
college," Justice said.
