Volume LXVIII, No. 14
Students Evicted
By John K. Cox
Fourteen students were
notified by the College Ad
ministration on February 1 that
they were being evicted from
their temporary housing. The
students, now living in four
Frazier apartments, have been
asked to move into residence
halls by Feb. 15.
According to Housing Director
Bob White, students are often
placed in Fraziers during Fall
semesters to alleviate the cam
pus housing shortage. But it has
always been school policy to open
up the Fraziers for married
students, White said. Now that
there are open spaces in the
dorms, Fraziers are no longer
needed for unmarried students,
he said.
The Frazier students have been
protesting the eviction plans. In a
letter to the Administration,
David Hood, who is a resident of
one of the four Fraziers being
cleared, stated that the
legitimate need of some students
for a quiet studying environment
is being subordinated to an unfair
College policy.
It is College policy that,
whenever the residence halls are
full, overflow students are housed
in the Fraziers. The primary
Senate Ticket Added
By Jennifer Park
A second ticket for the student
Senate was allowed on the ballot
Monday, after the deadline for
submitting petitions had passed.
The second ticket includes Tom
Jarrell for president, John Good
win for vice-president, Kimberly
Eastman for secretary.
Derek Maingot, the first can
didate on the ballot for the stu
dent government body, said, "We
are very glad that we do have so
meone running against us."
Jarrell's ticket submitted its
petition Monday evening after
their records were checked to see
if they met all of the re
quirements by "Ken Schwab and
a few other people," said Jarrell.
He then talked to Dennis Blue,
current president of the Senate,
about whether his slate would ap
pear on the ballot.
The election committee, com
prised of Wendy Quimby, Dennis
Blue and Kenilyn Riggs, decided
that Jarrell's ticket would appear
on the ballot if Maingot's ticket
did not have any objections.
Quimby said the committee,
"Didn't want to overlook their
feelings."
function of these apartments,
however, is and has been to house
married students.
The residents of one Frazier,
for example, requested last fall
that they be given an apartment
instead of a dorm if a housing
shortage did exist. Walt Carter, a
senior, said of Frazier No. 19,
"We knew there was going to be a
housing overflow... There has
been one every year since I've
been here."
All of the students now living in
Fraziers realized that they could
be asked to leave if the housing
situation on campus changed. It
did, said White, because many
more students than expected are
now living off-campus.
Last December Housing
notified the students that they
might have to move. On
February 1 the mid-February
deadline was announced. Hoping
for a change in policy, the
students then made a written ap
peal to the Administrative Coun
cil.
Their requests were denied by
the Council, which consists of
President Rogers, the heads of
the various administrative
departments, and Senate Presi
dent Dennis Blue.

feel it was our place as can
didates to decide whether
another candidate's ticket would
be on the ballot."

Hugh Strohler, Director of Stu
dent Activities, said that this will
be his last semester at Guilford.
Stohler publically announced this
decision to the Student Union late
last month.
Ken Schwab, Dean of Students,
said, "In conversations with
Hugh, it was evident it was time
for Hugh to seek new kinds of op
portunities for personal and pro
fessional growth."
Stohler is completing his tenth
year at Guilford. He said that he
has not seen himself countinuing
in this job forever and that in the
past he has considered the pro
spect of leaving.
"A job like this in a small col
lege is a deadend," Stohler said.
When Stohler began working at
Guilford his office was in the
Hayworth building. Founder's
Hall had been torn down before
he came and was being rebuilt his
first year. At that time dances
were held in the cafeteria and
films, concerts and perfor
mances were held in Dana
Auditorium. Stohler said Student
offices were in the old Toy Hall
"The change in facilities has
created new work and tasks,"
Stohler said. He says he feels
facilities management has oc
cupied an increasing amount of
his time.
"This job covers an awful lot of
areas of responsibility,"
and "leads very quickly to burn
out," Stohler said.
Stohler will complete his con
tract on May 31 when Guilford's
fiscal year ends.
• "When contracts came out for
this year it was agreed upon that
this would be the final year for
Hugh," Schwab said.
Stohler said that he is not cer
tain what he will be doing after he
leaves. "Both Sarah and I are
thinking about what we want,"
Stohler said. Stohler says he is
considering the area of communi
ty art administration as well as
the field of student activities. "If
either of us finds an attractive
position before the other it will
probably determine where we
go," Stohler said. Stohler did say
he wants to stay in the Southeast.
February 15. 1984
Ken Schwab has formed a
search and selection committee
to fill the position Stohler is
vacating.
Schwab said he invited one stu
dent to represent each of the
three major organizations, two
people from his office and two
faculty members to be on the
committee. The students are Eric
Locklear, representing the
publications board, Jane Mar
dock from the Senate and Natalie
Dolan from the Student Union.
Jim Keith an Bob White will
represent the Student Services of
fice. June Bengle, chairman of
the Students Affairs Committee,
and Dave Mclnnes are the facul
ty members on the committee.
The first task of the committee
is to decide whether "changes in
the definition of the position need
to be made," said Schwab. Mcln
nes has talked to Hugh about this
and the committee intends to talk
to members of the college com
munity as well. The committee
will place advertisements in ap
propriate professional journals
and will ask people in the field for
nominations, says Schwab. Com
mittee members may also attend
conferences to solicit applica
tions.
The Committee will then
screen the applications and invite
probably three candidates for in
terviews. Schwab says that he ex
pects that the candidates inter
viewed will also meet with the
Senate, Union and other
organizations as well as faculty
and staff. It should be known who
will fill Stohler's position by May
5.
