"The students have been super responsible about coming forward," said Nancy Cable-Wells. Dean of Students Cable-Wells added that because of the student initiative and con cern, the administration was "open to recalling all decisions." In a housing forum in Mary Hobbs Hall on March 24, students who felt the housing policy needed to be revised got their first chance to show their concern for changing the policy, and their motivated concern was well received by Cable- Wells and the administra tion.

Guilford College, Greensboro, N.C revised policy as being reserved for freshman IDS sections concentrated on the Ist and 2nd floors, will still contain IDS sections, but they will not be restricted to living on those floors or in a designated area. Mary Hobbs Hall, one of the most controversial issues of the policy, would be restricted to up perclassmen living only. The strong resistance met by the students changed that. As one student defended, "Mary Hobbs is a place where you are forced to grow...and freshmen almost always benefit from it." As Cable- Wells said, the revision in the policy now "can fill naturally with up perclassmen, and freshmen will fill the re maining spaces." The other contraversial issue, concerning the restriction of students under 21 living off campus, has been cleared up and revised.

Finally, as a result of the student activism on this issue, a Senate Residence Council will be established as an extention of the April 5. 1988 Senate Resident Life Com mittee. Cable-Wells ex pressing the importance of this innovation, said. "It will be a group of students with whom I can check right away." The forma tion of the committee may another step toward more efficient communication between the administra tion and the students. Election Results By Laura Peters The tickets lead by Lisa Nanstad and Seth Hassett were victorious in the "election of the year,'' —e xcep tin g November's presidential election, of course. Politics hit Guilford Col lege as seen by the abun dance of flyers and posters that circulated the campus the last two weeks.
