Tenure granted
Nat Gray
Staff Writer
Guilford's Board of Trustees re
cently awarded three professors
tenure: Becky Gibson, English;
Raymond Johnson, accounting;
and Jack Zerbe, theatre studies.
Tenure is granted to show ap
preciation for professors' effort
and time spent with Guilford. It
protects the professor's academic
freedom and effectively insures a
permanent position at Guilford.
"Congratulations to all of them,"
Kathy Adams, Academic Dean,
said, "We are delighted to award
tenure to well-deserving faculty."
Tenure is awarded on the basis
of the professor's teaching, advis
ing, professional growth, and com
munity service. The teacher's
evaluation is done by the Faculty
Affairs Committee, which consists
of five tenured professors and the
Academic Dean.
They review student evaluations

Awash in the glow of post-elec
tion euphoria, Behm, Burton and
Laster led a madcap dash across
campus to locate Ewell, who was
studying in the basement of King
Hall but could not be found.
Along the way they shouted out
thanks to voters in Mary Hobbs
and Bauman and took down some

Sesquicentennial Garden:
Path meanders
Beth Stringfield
Staff Writer
The design of the Sesquicen
tennial Garden has been decided
after much consideration and
debate.
The Sesquicentennial Garden
will be located between Duke
Hall and Archdale, straight in
front of Founders, where there
currently is no decoration.
The design chosen was the
oriental design, which will con
tain a "meandering walkway"
through the garden and "in
cludes ground cover around the
trees to add color as well as to
inhibit soil erosion," said Mel
issa Hoopes, student represen
tative and member of Facilities
Committee.
"For the time being, a center

Both tickets

Someone had to

glad it was us."

Elect Laster said,
"I'm really ex

large margin of victory, but I feel
that shows the student body really
believed in our ticket and believes
in us to do a good job. I know that
we will."

The final decision about the
garden was made last Wednes
day, Feb. 16, by the Facilities
Committee, "after many forums
and meetings where students,
faculty, staff, and administrators
voiced their opinions" were
held, said Hoopes.
But before construction can
begin, another $14,000 must be
raised toward the total cost of
$34,000.
Construction will take place
in three phases. The first phase
will begin as soon as the
$14,000 is raised. If that money
is not raised before March 10,
though, construction will not
begin until after commence
