tary casualties, there were five

U.S. relaxes policy on
Haitian immigration
An announcment made
Thursday by the Bush Admin
istration declared that Haitians
are now eligible to apply for
refugee status at the U.S. em
bassy in Port-au-Prince.
The change in policy appears
to be in response to the grow
ing number of Haitians at
tempting to illegally immigrate
to the United States due to the
unstable political climate in
Haiti.

Keg Policy
Senate discussion
brews over Proposal B
Brian Sugioka
Staff Writer
After months of deliberation, the
community Senate in its meeting
Jan. 29 made progress on putting
together a policy regarding kegs
on the Guilford campus.
Senate agreed in principle on the
idea of a trial period for kegs,
wherein kegs would remain allow
able on campus under stronger,
more strictly enforced regulations.
The discussion which led to the
agreement began in the Nov. 6
Senate meeting where three gen
eral proposals put together by the
Student Residence Council were
brought before Senate for discus
sion and debate.
Proposal A was to ban kegs from
campus. Proposals B and C, on the
other hand, sought to allow kegs at
Guilford. The twoproposals stipu
lated that all kegs be approved by
Residential Life, that only those 21
or older be allowed to drink from
them and that a monitoring system
be established to insure that those
under 21 did not drink from the
keg. Proposals B and C differed
from each other in only one way:
proposal B would allow under-age
drinkers to be present in the same
Top administrators to leave at end of semester

Spending their last spring at
Guilford this year are two of the
college's key administrators: Vice
President for Student Development
Nanvy Cable-Wells and Director
of Residential Life and Orienta
tion Richard Ford.
Cable-Wells announced Tues
day that she was resigning to ac-
"Memory is the medium of the might-h Julian Jaynes
room as the keg where proposal C
prohibited the presence of anyone
under 21 in a room with a tapped
keg.
There was initial support for
option A from some senators and
college administration officials
because kegs provide opportuni
ties for underage as well as exces
sive drinking, which leads to vio
lent behavior and increased resi
dence hall damage.
There was also concern that kegs
might lead to violations of the fire
code, since keg parties attract many
people. It was decided, however,
over the course of several weeks
that banning kegs would, among
other things, unfairly discriminate
against students of legal drinking
age living on campus and would be
inconsistent with Guilford's com
mitment to individual responsibil
ity.
Proposal C was also eliminated,
because it was felt that such a pro
posal would be unfair to students
who live together but are not all of
the legal drinking age.
By process of elimination, pro
posal B was left the choice of Sen
ate. Specifics of the proposal have
continued on page 6

missions and Financial Aid at

She has been contemplating a
move since June and after five
years at Guilford, Cable-Wells
feels it's time for new challenges.
"It's a positive move," said
Cable-Wells.

co-workers, said, "Working with

She also observed, however, that
the position at Davidson is one that
Cable-Wells can effectively fill.
"She ha a lot of expertise in enroll

Ford announced his resignation
in mid-November. He would like
to be involved in the field of
multicultural affairs, but feels that

"My energies will be better spent

Assistant Director of Residen

praise for Ford's accomplishments
while at Guilford. "Many of the
systems to run a successful [resi

place due to his hard work and
persistence."
