Cuilfbrdian Tuesday, Two Senate Tickets Declared Invalid - Issue Appealed by Forrest Hughes On Thursday, February 26 at 7:30 p.m. the Community Senate and College Union tickets for election met to present their platforms to the student body. The well attended meeting was the scene of much debate. The Crit/.-Bailey-Edwards ticket was the first to present its plans for the Senate. That platform can be read in the Guilfordian of February 24. Second to present their platform was the Janney-Pol lock-Williams ticket. Those plans can also be read in February 24's Guilfordian. After these presentations a general discussion arose. The following information came from this discussion. Elliott Good's ticket had been declared invalid. He was forced to accept a new party on his ticket because one of his original members was unable to run. This new candidate did not meet the standards set out in the constitution and the plat form's petition to run was rejected. Good has some disagreement with the deci sion. A second party attempting to run for Senate were the Red Ocelots. Their petition to run was apparently submitted to the Elections Committee after the dead-line for considera tion. This made their ticket illegal. The Union candidates for co-president, Ted Getsinger and Geoff Wilkinson were virtually unopposed. Their only competition will be from any write-in votes on Tuesday. It was decided to hold a special meeting of the Senate on Monday, March 1, to resolve the situation. At this meeting it was decided to proceed with the scheduled election. IMPORTANT Provisional grades of Sem. II 1975-76 must be updated by March 4, 1976. Otherwise, the grade (-x) will be permanently recorded. Check with the registrar to ascertain that the appropriate grade revisions have been processed. nCritz Bailey Edward Choose your party and Don't Forget to Vote! Combined Nursing Program Discontinued by Pat Townsend Recent changes have occur red in the Nursing Program at UNC-G that have resulted in Guilford no longer being in the combined Nursing Degree Program. One reason for this change is that with the great influx of Nursing students at the state school, there is no room for Guilford candidates in the program. Those affected are two Guilford students that are far enough along in the Guilford half of the program that they are now ready to begin their intensive nursing courses at UNC-G. Formerly, Guilford has pro vided that the nursing candidate take three years' worth of schooling here, on campus, which would include all graduation requirements (except some Biology and maybe a few electives) for a regular Biology major, then attend UNC-G for a year of intensive nursing courses. At the end of the year, the student would graduate with a Bachelor of Science Degree from Guilford, and with one more year at UNC-G, would terminate 5 years of schooling with a Bachelor's in Nursing from the state school. In the past seven years there have been about nine students who have received degrees either in this program or by attending UNC-G for two more years after graduation from Guilford. Dr. Bryden, chairman of the I Editors and Staff wish everyone a HAPPY VACA TION - have a safe trip home (or wherever) and a safe return trip. Parapsychologists to Speak Under the joint sponsorship of BHTC, the Humanistic Studies Council, the psycho logy department and the chemistry department, we are happy to announce that on March 17 (Wednesday after mid-term break) at 8:15 p.m. SENIORS! If you are I interested in having a good commencement speaker for your graduation, then come and help choose one! Meeting - Wednesday, March 3rd, at 11:00 a.m. in Dana Lounge, Founders Hall. We need to make a decision NOW so come and take part! If you can't make it to the meeting, but have a sugges tion, please contact Cindy Martin today! To submit blurbs to the personals column, please type them on a piece of paper and either send them vi? campus mail, box 17717, or put them in the envelope outside of our office, 2nd floor Founders. Biology Department here has commented, "We have no plans to enter into another bachelor degree program, however, we will be planning a combined degree program with any student who may wish to enter a Nursing degree program at some other school after spending some time here." If Guilford should enter, as an institution, into another type of combined program, it would be worth a Masters degree in Nursing as a final result, (instead of two Bachelors). It should be noted that the combined degree leading to the Bachelor degree in Medical Technology with Bowman-Gray Medical School is still in existence. in Sternberger Auditorium, Founders Hall, a presentation will be given on Parapsycho logy - Its history, methods and problems, by Professor Mich ael McVaugh, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and Professor Seymour Maus kopf, Duke University. Professors McVaugh and Mauskopf are Historians of Science at their institutions and received a grant from the National Science Foundation to study the history of research in parapsychology (extrasensory perception (ESP). Much of the early work in the field was done at Duke University under the leader ship of Professor T.B. Rhine. Professor and Mrs. Rhine were friends with a number of people at Guilford and often gave seminars here. Gi U6SS Uj H. OL w "tkese Tt ? w*-- 1 An ESP (card-guessing) test will be given the audience between the presentations by the two speakers. Professor Mauskop.f will discuss the phenomenae that parapsychologists study with special reference to the work of Professor Rhine. Professor McVaugh will talk about the interaction - or lack of it - between those working in parapsychology and those in other fields of study.
