committees similarly concerned
with proposing a unit of living

as drinking, social hours, quiet
hours, and women's hours.

Course Revision Proposed
The Educational Policies Com
mittee recently formulated pro
posals that would alter the course
structure and other aspects of
Guilford's present academic sys
tem. The proposals were sub
mitted to the department chair
men, who will determine if the
proposed system is feasible.
The central aspect of the pro-
Monday, January 19. 1970
posed program involves reducing
the number of courses offered
by the departments and required
for students. Instead of an
average course load consisting
of five three hour courses, under
the new system a student would
take four four hour courses each
semester.
The majority of the courses
would meet twice a week, pos-
Vandalism
Hits Shore
On December 15 a small band
Df students tnrew rock-filled
snowballs at windows in Shore
Dormitory.
Several windows were broken,
he shattering glasi. narrow ly
nissing at least one student
4o charges have been filed due ' J
I lack of witnesses willing i 1
testify.
Charges against other stuc'.nts
involve! in other incidents tl'at
same .-vening were presenter to
:he Judicial Board of the Vdn's
Interdormitory Government at a
January 15 trial.
One student was con/icted on
chaiges of tampering with a-
student's property,physi
cal 1 .use of a college official,
obscene language, failure to com -
p y with the directive of a college
official, and implied physical vio
,nnce against a college official.
MIG sentenced the student to
iisciplinary probation for the
remainder of his academic
career with the provision that he
be allowed to play football.
Two other students were con
victed on charges of being in a
woman's dormitory after clos
ing hours. They were given re
primands.
In a special meeting last Mon
iay night, the MIG Judicial Board
decided to call a meeting of MIG
ifter the semester break to in
terpret the MIG Constitution's
provisions for the removal of
officers.
The committee's interpreta
tion will determine whether im
peachment proceedings against
MIG Vice-President Phil Edger
ton should be heard by MIG or
all men students.
With the exception of Edgerton,
who maintained that the wording
of the MIG Constitution clearly
indicated that he should be
tried by all the men students,
the Judicial Board members con
curred in the decision.
Proceedings against Edgerton
stem from his alleged part in
an incident involving the presence
of Martha Robertson in the par
lor of suite C-31 in the 1968
Men's Dorm during Homecoming
Weedend.
According to the Ed-
sibly leaving Wednesday as a
"free day." More emphasis
would be placed on work out
side of the classroom.
According to proponents of
such a system, the main ad
vantage would be the reduced
course load for both students
and faculty, enabling them to
f each and learn more effectively.
The number of courses offered
in each department would be
lii. itedto sixteen. Eight courses
wc ild be required for a major.
.f the department chairmen
r f act favorably to the proposed
ystem, it will be submitted to
;he entire faculty, who will
determine if such changes should
be adopted.
The Educational Policies Com
mittee is a student-faculty com
mittee. Dr. Daryl Kent is chair
man. This committee has also
proposed that the calendar year
be changed, with the first semes
ter ending before the Christmas
holidays.
