® tie (flutlf orbtan Volume 78 Issue 11 NEWS LINE STUDENT WINS JERSEY LOTTERY Sophomore Greg Montes was one digit away from having nine million reasons to be grateful this Thanksgiving Passed out at his family's Thanksgiving dinner with the stuffing and mashed potatoes were "Pick-6" Lottery tickets. The ticket he received of computer-generated numbers was only one digit way from being a perfect match with the set drawn to win. Instead, Montes won SI7OO, five hundred of which will go toward Guilford tuition. The rest will fund a new stereo and a party on the first weekend of the spring semester in his Bryan Suite . As well as giving money to Guilford athletics, Montes said he would have spent the nine million on "a bar in the Florida Keys and an off-campus house so we would have something to do on the weekends." Religious Emphasis Week set Ann Witt Staff writer The Fourth Annual Religious Emphasis Week will be held Jan. 23-29. The event is sponsored by Guilford's Council of Religious Organizations (GCRO). Max Carter, Guilford's campus minister and advisor to GCRO, was enthusiastic about the upcom ing week: "We do a lot of ongoing religious programming on campus through GCRO, Campus Ministry, Friends Center, and campus reli gious groups such as Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Hillel and Quaker Concerns. "The idea of Religious Empha sis Week raises awareness of reli gious issues to another level and gives an opportunity to both raise the visibility of religious issues and to give groups on campus an op portunity to highlight their groups and to have speakers," Carter said. Religious Emphasis Week was first held in January, 1991.

In addition, Senator Brian Sug ioka asked at the initial meeting that the decision be put off until Wednesday's meeting at the re quest of the absent Senator Mel issa Hoopes. Sugioka's request sparked hesi tation among other senators. Jansen said that Hoopes' concerns were "never addressed" prior to the meeting. However, according to Tomlinson, her reservations about his assuming the position had been was a positive enough response to it to keep it going," Carter said. According to Carter, Guilford has since linked the week to the "dis tinguished Quaker visitor" Guil ford brings to campus each year. This year there will be two dis tinguished visitors. Paul and Mar garet Lacey, a married couple, will be on campus for four days during the week. According to Carter, the couple heads an annual conference at Pendle Hill, a Quaker retreat center, on "sources of renewal for educators." Paul Lacey is an English profes sor at Earlham College and a "na tionally recognized expert on teaching excellence," said Carter. Lacey will speak on: "Sources of Renewal for Education."

Traditions from past Religious Emphasis Weeks are also being planned: "Our most successful Religious Emphasis Weeks have been when groups have showcased their programs and have brought in special speakers and sponsored forums and panels...we're going to do the tried-and-true things," Carter said. One of the tried-and-true things has been the student faith panel held during Religious Emphasis Week. Students from religious groups such as Hillel, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and Quaker Concerns, as well as those repre senting a variety of religious tra ditions, normally participate in the panel. A faith panel has been planned for the upcoming week. "For those who are religious on campus there is a sense of grati tude that religious issues are given front-burner status...it is my feel ing that Guilford students are com fortable talking about spiritual is sues," Carter said. Two more editors leave Guilfordian: Time allotted greatest factor Christian Scanniello and Chris Hosford, staff writers The Guilfordian is losing two members of its editorial board, Sports Editor Will Cooper and Photography Editor Eric Forman. Cooper and Forman are two of six Guilfordian editorial board members to resign this semester, according to Editor-in-Chief Joan Malloch. "Our continual loss of editors is largely due to the lack of a sup port system for leadership here at Guilford," said Malloch. Resigning Sports Editor Will Cooper found the responsi bilities of putting the sec tion to gether, which in eluded Cooper managing a staff of writers, design ing layouts, and writing weekly ar ticles, to be time consuming. "It's almost too much to handle on top of your classes," said Coo per. December 3,1993 He plans, however, to continue working with the paper. "I think I'll probably write the rest of my years at Guilford," said Cooper, a sophomore. Eric Forman is unable to con tinue primarily due to academic considerations and the time con straints of being a senior. Forman said, "I found that I was unable to satisfactorily balance the demands of The Guilfordian and Forman my aca demics." "I've enjoyed working with the paper im measur- ably, but the re- quirements were too high for me. Especially being a graduating se nior, I just do not have time to con tinue with the Photo Editor posi tion." Former Sports Editor and cur rent copy editor Kiley Holder will replace Cooper.
