"I'm very excited about the large amount of interest in Senate and Union this year," said Laura Myerchin, Community Senate Secretary. "The number of students interested in school politics is great."

The students running for both Senate and Union are diverse in cul ture as well as age. Underclassmen are working to break into the Guilford political system early on. "I'm part of the First-Year Advisory Board now", said Lauren Demarest, a first-year Union presidential hopeful. "I've planned a lot of social events for first years; it's a lot of fun, and I'd like to be able to plan large scale events for the whole school. I'm kind of nerv ous because I know there are a lot of upper classmen running but hopefully I have a good chance." Ultimately the decision on who will head both Senate and Union rests on the Guilford student body. Students may either vote for the running tickets or write in their own candidates.

The House of Representatives has passed a bill that would ban cloning used as a procedure to produce children for infertile cou ples. Meanwhile, South Korea has announced that its scientists have cloned a human embryo. In the late '9os, a study located and isolated stem cells, which opened unlimited opportunities for research. Stem cells show great promise for uses such as re-growing muscle tissue and could offer treatment for patients who suffer from ailments such as heart dis ease, Parkinson's disease, Type 1 dia betes and spinal cord injuries. One technique involves taking stem cells from human embryos. This has caused a lot of controversy in the sci entific community. Some feel that human embryos shouldn't be bought and sold. Childress also provided several reli gious views on stem cell cultivation. Pope John Paul II told President Bush in a meeting that he condemned stem cell research on human embryos. In Judaism and Islam, on the other hand, the view is radically different: "research done in rescuing human life is justification enough." Childress said. Childress' presentation was pep pered with political cartoons and sharp wit. "He was a very eloquent speaker. His points were well madu and well laid out. He used humor very well to keep and to drive home the points he was making," first year Tristan Wilson said. "He did a really nice job, a broad overview and a foundation of Bioethics, and did so objectively," Quaker Lisa Fields said. Childress graduated from Guilford in 1963 and played on the same baseball team as Guilford mathematics profes sor Elwood Parker. Childress teaches at the University of Virginia. This lecture was the first in a six week series about ethics. For more details on the Ethics Lecture Series, contact Max Carter at extension 2445 or at mcarter@guilford.edu.
