FOR GUILFORDIAN COVERAGE SEE BACK PAGE Randy Doss runs over Max Carter, Guilford's Integrity By Joanna Bernstein Straight Edge for Life "He came out of nowhere—speeding out of control like a coked out George W. Bush in his earlier days/' said Max Carter, describing his traffic collision with Randy Doss that took place in front of the 'integrity' core values sign. Doss was speeding in his golf cart while on his way to a men's soccer game when he hit Carter on his bicycle. Doss hit Carter so hard that the integrity sign that they crashed into fell over. "It didn't fall over immediately," Carter said. "I was pinned up against the integrity sign for a few minutes; sandwiched between my bike, Randy's cart, and the sign." Carter said that as soon as he escaped the crash and, having sustained no major injuries wiggled out of the sandwich, the integrity sign fell down. Randy Doss blames himself for the crash and the subsequent loss of the integrity sign. "I can't lie, this is all my fault," said Doss. "I was texting while driving." Doss admitted to sending an email from his blackberry while haphazardly speeding from New Garden to the stadium. "I was going too fast because I was already late for the game, but at the same time, I felt like I really had to send that email," said Doss. Doss said that the email was to President Kent Chabotar. "I was confirming the time for our dinner reservation at Fleming's Steakhouse that night." Doss publicly apologized both to the commu nity, and to Carter, at an open forym about the dangers of texting and driving in Founders Gal lery several days after the crash. "While Doss' apology seemed sincere at first, the fact that he was maldng jokes about integrity makes me think that Doss finds the whole situ ation kind of funny since Max wasn't injured," said senior Alyzza Callahan. During the forum Doss joked that, "hey, at least we didn't literally lose our integrity!" Many students were confused about the joke.

In fact, although the college has undergone a subtle shift in image from a small liberal arts "hippie" activist school to a growingly apathetic sub-par D-III sports hub in the last four , years under the direction of con servative Dean of Admissions Randy "No Comment" Doss, the incoming class of 2014 is projected to be politically liberal and more than half of these high schoolers have been seen wear ing socks with sandals.

Varsity ice hockey coming next year By Liz Farquhar Ducks Fly Together! The decision was made final on March 31 that in the winter of 2011 there will be a new varsity sport at Guilford: ice hockey. Since the track team lost its track the same year that they became a varsity team, and the swim team lost its pool, Guilford decided it was in the budget to add another team that had no on-campus facilities. Juniors Wes Good and Andrew Slater have pushed for this team to be added as a varsity sport since their first year at Guilford. "Me and Wes have been attending ice hockey games in the Greensboro area and are looking to recruit the most aggressive players from high school teams," Slater said. "Fight, fight, inner light! Kill, Quakers, kill!" It seems like everyone is looking forward to the hard hitting, smash-mouth sport's inaugural season. "The athletic department is excited to see what an ice hockey team can add to the culture here at Guilford," Athletic Director Tom Palombo said. "Hockey is a big word," said Randy Doss in an e-mail interview. "I can't wait until the season begins." It is the hope that by adding the new team, students will become more interested in Guilford athletics. After the decision was final, Palombo and the athletic department deliberated on the new team's head coach. Palombo offered ice hockey See "Ice, Hockey" on page 6
