$3.75 million in campus improvements nearly complete

To improve the quality of
students' lives, the
administration invested over
$3.75 million this summer in
campus improvements and
remodeling.
Founders hall
Currently, the front of
Founders consists of a dirt pit
and some foundation bricks.
This will become a terrace with
a fully furnished gazebo and
wireless internet access. The
project is on schedule and set
to be completed by Oct. 1, said
Dean for Campus Life Anne
Lundquist.
The terrace is the first of five
phases that Lundquist said will

total $lO million. Also included
in the first phase was the
installation of an additional air
conditioning unit for Founders
hall. The total cost of the
phase I project, including the
new AC unit, terrace, and ter
race furniture, is roughly $1
million.
Future phases will involve
the installation of an atrium in
the Founders common area
that will improve natural light
ing and broaden "circulation
and visual access to all three
floors," said Ty Buckner,
Director of College Relations,
in a summer newsletter. The
lower level will also be remod
eled to improve office space,
including the bookstore.

mUT our staff members from
the Office of Campus
Life are about to leave, or have
left, the college.
Jodi Gill, Associate Dean for
Residential Life, and Anita
Masterson, Assistant Director
of Student Health, leave to
pursue other career options.
Ernest McCoy, a staff member
of Student Health Services,
and Olive Jenkins, Coordinator
of Employment Services for
the college for the last four
years, are retiring.
Campus Life services will
meet or exceed their current
availability, said Anne
architects and their desires
came through, said Lundquist.
Students expressed a desire
for more open areas where the
community could congregate.
"The terrace is going to be
great," said Lundquist. "There
are not enough spaces for
people to gather and hang out;
now they will have that."
The Underground
Founders hall has also seen
the end of the indoor smoking
area in the Underground. After
conducting a survey last fall,
the college has eliminated
smoking in the corridor next to
the Underground. Now it is a
leisure area that will be com
plemented by a

Gill said that the largest rea
son for her departure was an
incident that "occurred on April
3, 2004, when someone threw
a brick through my window."
Gill felt threatened on Guilford
campus in the past, but the
April 3 incident was the most
severe act of violence she per
sonally experienced. Of the
attacks, Gill says that she
knows that "only a limited num
ber did that," isolating partici
pation to a few students.
Despite the incident, what
Gill says she will miss most are
the students.
In addition, Gill felt her
responsibilities as the

Associate Dean for Campus
Life exceeded her original job
description. Gill did not want to
be involved with issues involv
ing Campus Life in addition to
student conduct because she
felt as if the responsibilities of
both would be too much for
one person to handle.
Gill, who came to Guilford
following employment at Kent
State University, wants to get
back to a larger institution
because she feels that among
other things "at a larger institu
tion people accepted enforcing
rules." She is currently looking
at three such institutions
where she can focus solely on
