Guilford College Library Vandalized
By Kalpli kirkputrick
During (ht early morn
ing hours of February
24th. the Guilford College
library was vandalized
and properly was remov
ed. No motive lor (he inci
dent has been established.
The electric clock that
usually hangs on the wall
lacing the I'ronl door had
been placed on the
bookshell and had slopped
at :{: 15 am. Investigators
speculate that someone,
perhaps a group, entered
the library and caused
damage to it about 2:45 to
3:15 am Wednesday.
According to Herbert
Poole, the Director of the
Library, whoever entered
the building appeared to
have a plan for what was
to be vandalized.
"We suspect it may not
have been just idle van
dalism," said Dr. Poole.
"The globe was upended;
someone had smeared
feces on walls and on some

They had stolen I believe
two computer terminals
which belong to the com

Karen Behm, Circula
tion Librarian said it was
strange that more
valuable articles in the
library were left alone.
The VAX terminals, she
pointed out, are useless
unless connected to a large
system.
A question that still has
not been answered centers
on the number of par
ticipants involved.
Dr. Poole also said that
two telephone units were
stolen, and that several
items had been moved to
other parts of the library
building.
The method of entry and
departure was also
unknown, although no win
dows had beer, broken.
One of the participants,
according to Dr. Poole,
must have had a key

because his office, which
is locked after business
hours, had been entered.
The library does have a
security system, but as
Behm says, "it is not fool
proof."

Major Changes In Honor Code
By Jay Underwood
The Honor Code, deem
ed grossly ineffective and
inappropriate by many
members of the Guilford
community, is presently
undergoing revision in
hopes of reinstituting the
importance of community
and academic integrity in
the minds of students and
professors.
Faculty members
Marlene McCauley and
Barton Parks are working
closely with the Student
Affairs Committee in put
ting forth a set of pro
posals that would change
the current code
significantly.
"As it stands, the Honor
Code includes both
academic and social
behavior." said Mc-

Cauley. "It doesn't always
work...students don't pay
much attention to it."
Under the present
system, if a student
witnesses a fellow student
who is not 21 drink a beer,
then they are both in viola
tion of the Honor Code if
the incident is not
reported. Thus, the viola
tion is punishable under
the same auspices as
academic dishonesty.
"We propose that
academic dishonesty be
governed by the Honor
Code, and social miscon
duct by a separate set of
rules and regulations."

In addition, the SAC is
proposing the formation of
a small honor board, com
