Guilford Students Give Constructive Response To Housing Policy
Bv Jason Underwood
In response to the
recently issued housing
policy, which specified re
quirements for on and off
campus living ar
rangements. concerned
students came forward
and turned controversy in
to compromise.
"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.

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. The policy

states that preference will
be given to those 21 and
over; remaining space will
go to students in descen
ding order of age. Also,
Cable-Wells said that a
student group will be
organized that will have
the authority to grant peti
tions for off-campus liv
ing.

Hall have decided to main
tain the same
Freshman/Up
perclassman ratio that
was previously restricted
by the policy to up
perclassmen only.
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.
Students had to make two
difficult choices involving
tickets for both Senate and
Union.
