Honor Board
Created for Consistency
by Susan Nelson
Because of widely expressed
concern by faculty and students
about the structure and
practibility of the academic
honor system at Guilford
College, a new board has been
created to hear cases of Academic
Honor Code violations.
The Academic Honor Code
has long been a tradition at
Guilford and although a majority
of the student body takes its
guidelines seriously. Some of
the members of the community
felt that the judicial process for
handling violations could be
improved. Inquiries by the
Student Affairs Committee (SAC)
and other members of the college
resulted in founding a new Honor
Board.
Essentially the Judicial
Board, which in the past has
been the forum for both academic
and social violation hearings,
has been divided into two
seperate boards. The Judicial
Board will deal exclusively with
incidents of social misconduct,
while the Honor Board will be
concerned primarily with
academic dishonesty.
SAC, which guided judicial
system adjustments, hopes that
by making academic violations a
concern and not allowing them
to be overshadowed by social
code grievances, every student
will realize the significance of
the established academic honor
system.
"The Honor Board is just
part of a larger program to
emphasize academic honesty,"
stated Dick Dyer, Assistant to
the Dean of Students for Judicial
Affairs.
Because it was felt that the
Judicial Board was not conducive
to academic hearings, it was
feared that incidences of
academic hearings were beiac

If you can't quite find what you're
looking for, you can set up your
own booth and start a cross
country club or volunteer
organization.
Eric Reid, Senate Vice-
President, encourages "all to
come and get involved."
Each booth will celebrate
club functions. Hillel, the
handled without the due process a
structured judicial hearing offers.
Hence, there were diverse courses
of action taken allowing for
no consistent form of
punishment.
By creating a board
committed solely to addressing
problems surrounding the
academic honor code, SAC hopes
to intoduce "a consistent system
with consistent criteria and
consistent results based on those
criteria," said Dyer.
As a result of the "across
the board" policy of the Honor
Board, Academic Honor Code
violators may encounter harsher
penalties.
"Outcomes," noted Dyer,
"particularly in blatant cases of
violations, will be far more
serious. I think suspension will
be likely."
These stricter punishments
parallel judicial systems at other
highly competetive Quaker
Colleges such as Swarthmore,
Haverford, and Earlham.
Besides turning to stricter
honor code policies, the Honor
Board will be able to give
warranted and careful
consideration to each case. No
longer will academic violation
hearings be lost in the shuffle.
Although the guilty may face
tougher penalties, every case
will recieve the privilege of due
process.

the Judicial System, the Judicial
and Honor Boards can be found

Handbook on page 23. If you

WQFS
by Brian Smith
Guilford's very own
alternative music station, WQFS,
has undergone major changes in
the past few months as a result
of severing its ties with the
North Carolina Musicians
Association, one of its primary
sources of income.
Although this decision
has lowered the station's budget
considerably, WQFS remains
confident that the coming year
will be successful.
The NCMA had partially
funded WQFS in exchange for the
station's considerable airplay of
a number of North Carolina
Musicians. But, according to
newly elected general manager
Sean Desmond, the NCMA met
only one-third of their financial
obligations last year.

A keynote address will be
given by the effervescent Nancy
Cable-Wells. The meeting will
be highlighted by a "charge to
student leaders" by Acting
President Sam Schuman.
The Organizational Fair will
take place at both lunch and
dinner hours on Founders' Lawn,
just outside the main doors of
Founders Hall.
The day will conclude with
a reception for participants at
Looks to a
Brighter Future
There was an attempt to
re negotiate a contract in June of
this year, but, as Desmond
explained, the NCMA failed to
appear at the negotiations. The
resulting split means
independence for WQFS, but with
this newly found freedom will
also come financial
responsibility.
The Community Senate,
which provides a source of
income for student
organizations, originally offered
WQFS 57.400 with the
understanding that the NCMA
would continue to fund the
station as well. The Senate has
since increased its offer to just
over SI 1,000, still $3,000 short
of last year's budget.
In order to avoid being
fiscally handcuffed, WQFS has

slated a number of fund-raising
projects for this year. The
station plans to co-sponsor a
benefit concert with the Student
Union, and also plans to
sponsor its own concerts
throughout the year.
The primary reason for
fund-raising stems from the
necessity to replace outdated
equipment, much of which has
been in use from ten to twenty
years. The leader of the
important fund-raising projects
is newly elected finance manager
Gilbert Bailey.
WQFS is fighting an
uphill battle. Among other
things the station must contend
with is its past reputation, which
has not exactly been glamorous.
