PRIDE WEEK
COMING UP
Pride Week, Oct. 25-31, will
be held to "bring together differ
ent groups in the community to
celebrate gay pride," according
to Kevin Olive, Pride Week
Chair.
One of Pride Week's biggest
events, according to Olive, is
having Tiffany Bonet, Miss Drag
USA 1992, performing at Guil
ford in Dana Auditorium.
Olive said that Guilford may
be the first college in the South
to have a gay celebrity that is so
well-known nationally, "espe
cially considering she's a drag
queen."
Movies, panel discussions,
and a lunch on the lawn are some
of the events sponsored during
Pride Week.
Quaker budget passed
Gail Kasun
News Editor
The Quaker yearbook had its
budget approved during the last
Senate meeting after much debate
about format changes.
The budget would have been
approved at the previous week's
Senate meeting had there not been
strong reservations about the new
format, according to Kelly George,
Quaker co-editor.
Although some senators ex
pressed the concern that their con
stituents did not like some of the
new format ideas, President James
Green said, "As Senate, we're
looking at the budget, not the for
mat. We're not here to tell them
what kind of format to have...They
have the editorial freedom to do
what they want."
The urgency to pass the budget
at that point was based on the need
to make a contract with Jostens, the
yearbook publishers, and to get
more involved with the production
of the yearbook, George said.
The new format had already
been approved by the Publications
Union budget
Finally approved $89,991.72

Union's budget has been passed
by Senate after much debate and
deliberation.
Union has been budgeted
$89,991.72, an increase of $ 15,000
from last year's.
Union Vice President Andy
Swanson said, "We need the extra
money to make Serendipity better,
to bring in better bands, to have
more special events, and to co
sponsor events with other campus
organizations."
"Of all the organizations, we
have the largest responsibility to
provide events on campus," said
Union President Wendy
Mcßeynolds "We want to provide
a variety of events every week
end."
"There's no mystery as to why
we had so much trouble budget
ing," said Senator Brian Sugioka.
"We were trying to approve
$20,000 more in budgets without

co-editors, The Guilfordian and

George told The Guilfordian
that the for the format change was,
"because we think it's cool."
Some students in attendance at
an open forum on Monday wanted
to discuss changing the format.
a corresponding increase in the stu
dent activities fees."
In this proposal, Union received
$89,991.72 because Senate ap
proved a $20,000 withdrawal from
the surplus of last year's surplus
Student Activities fees. If the
$20,000 withdrawal had not been
approved, then Union would have
received $BO,OOO, and would have
had the chance to special request
an additional $lO,OOO in January
if they could prove they needed it.
Brian Sugioka, Laura Deßlois,
and Layla Davis stood aside on the
decision to pass the budget.
Sugioka said the decision was
made with the hopes that the ac
tual amount of money for budget
ing is greater than the estimation
given to Senate by the business
office. He said that the Budget
Committee also hoped the organi
zations would not spend all the
money allocated to them.
"That seemed like too much of
a risk to me," he said.

Quaker co-editors said that they
had already gone through the
proper channels for approval
through Pub Board and also have
spent two days in Founders Hall
explaining their new format.
They said the format was not up
for discussion, although they are
willing to consider suggestions
about content and stylistic matters
from students.
Senate approves
Treasurer Burton
Justin Cohen
Special to The Guilfordian
Senior Brian Burton became the
fourth Senate treasurer in less than
three semesters when he won easy
approval for the position au
Wednesday's Senate meeting.
Biuton had originally sought
the post last year, but the ticket on
which he ran^a s defeated by just
six votes in the March Senate ex
ecutive election. Barton's appoint
ment is one of several recent steps
taken by the executive council that
are expected to ameliorate ten
sions amid what was shaping up
to be a somewhat divided and
factionalized Senate.
The office had become vacant
when former Senate Treasurer
Ben Bome announced Sept. 30
that he was resigning.
Resignations and instability are
nothing new to the office; last
year's Senate saw three different
people occupy the position. At

The new format includes three
magazines of high-quality paper in
a protective, slip-case box, accord

be distributed at three different
times; the first issue includes the
protective case. The yearbook will
also contain writing dealing with
various issues.

Wednesday's meeting, however,
Burton assured Senate he would
be "there for both semesters."
Burton, an accounting major,
possesses extensive student lead
ership experience, including serv
w ing on Budget Committee for two
years, one of which as Chairper
son. He currently works as Busi
ness Manager for The Guilford
ian and will resign from this po
sition once a replacement is
found.
President James Green told
Senate that Burton has, "a lot of
experience... We think he'll do a
great job."
Senate seemed to agree, as
there were no questions or objec
tions to thy appointment.
Burton assumes an office
whose revolving door occupancy
has resulted in a slew of organi
zational problems. Several stu
dent groups have expressed dis
pleasure over their budgets or
