New recycling program "unique"
Gail Kasun
News Editor
Guilford instituted a unique re-
cycling program
where most recy
clable materials may
be deposited for on
campus pickup
which began Jan. 7,
according to Bill
Scott, director of
grounds mainte
nance and the land
scape division.
"We have a recy
cling program that is
one of the easiest,"
Scott said. There is
no sorting required
and the list of
recyclables is "quite
long," according to
Scott.

wherein only aluminum and some
white paper were recycled, Scott
said.
Election rules:
Senate rethinking
candidates ' re
Christian Scanniello
Staff Writer
Community Senate, after heated
debate Wednesday, is still consid
ering proposals to specify require
ments for Senate executive candi
dates made by the Special Projects
Committee.
"Presidential candidates shall
have regularly attended Senate
meetings for two full semesters
upon taking office," according to
the addendum provided by Special
Projects Committee Co-chairs
Brian Sugioka and Laura DeBlois
to the constitution by-laws.
This clause proved to be the
main point of contention.
The Special Projects Committee
has "gone farther in the direction
of controlling election outcomes
than maybe the Guilford commu
nity will support," said Dean of
Student Life Mona Olds, a regular
Senate attendant.
Now, everything from egg car
tons to magazines to plastic can be
recycled and picked up at the five
recycling dumpsters on campus.
The cost incurred for the pro-
gram was an up-front cost of
$3600. There will be no further
charges, as the program's success
relies heavily on student participa
tion, according to Senate Secretary
Sugioka and DeBlois answered
criticism by stressing the "elastic
clause" of the provision, which
states that "in special instances
where a candidate may have skills
or experience gained outside of the
avenues prescribed ... the candi
date may petition to Senate to have
the qualification suspended."
"We're not trying to exclude
anybody; we're just trying to make
sure that the job is done well," said
DeBlois.
Sugioka said that provisions
were added to ensure that the "ex
perience, leadership, and guidance
for the Community Senate" called
for in the preamble is provided.
Sugioka said that the best way
to ensure these ideals "is to pro
vide for continuity."
"Since the Community Senate
has a unique system. . ., namely
consensus, it is essential that the
president in particular understands

"There are not very many
schools doing what we're doing,"
Scott said.
"Not many cities will let
schools" have the
type of program
Guilford does, ac
cording to Scott.
It took three
months to solidify
the plans with the
City of Greensboro
concerning the
pick-up of recycl
ables in addition to
the regular garbage
collection, Scott
said.
A task force com
posed of faculty, ad
ministration, and
students helped for
mulate the program,
Scott said.

Resource center opens
• GLBA and Straight but
Not Narrow have worked
to secure a place for confi
dential exchange.
Katherine Beldner
Staff Writer
This semester GLBA and
Straight but Not Narrow, formerly
FLAG, opened a resource center
in the Ragan Room of Dana Audi
torium.
GLBA has used funds to pur
chase the monthly news video
"Network Q," dedicated to cover
ing gay-relevant news, and it is
available in the resource center for
use only in the Ragan Room.
Professors and student groups
can make special arrangements
with Kevin Douglas Olive, the re
source center's office manager, for
viewing videos in the room across
the hall. *
Other Gay related publications,
which are kept in the Hege Library,
are Out, funded by GLBA and
Deneuve, funded by SBNN. The
magazines were purchased in the
hope that the library will continue
the subscriptions when they ex
pire.
Olive says of administrative
support, "Mona Olds was very
supportive because the resource
center is off the beaten path. In any
group of persons there are gay
people, and this is a place where
they can go and not be seen."
The center serves a dual pur
pose. According to Olive, one pur
pose is to provide the Guilford
community with material on how
to be gay-positive. The other pur
pose is to provide support for gays
and lesbians and friends and fam
ily of gays and lesbians.
All funding for the center is pro
vided through donations and orga
nizational budgeting. GLBA and
Straight but Not Narrow have used
some of their funds to provide of-
