The Chaos continues News, pg. 2 GUILFORDIAN THE GREENSBORO, NC New mrriadum implemented By Devra Thomas STAFF WRITER Last spring, the faculty approved the curriculum committee's recommendations for Guilford's new curriculum, the first total revamping of the curriculum in 30 years. Now, over the next year, the areas of study, departments, curriculum committee, and the academic dean will be meeting to start re designing majors, implementing programs, and assessing how well the curriculum seems to be working. "[We'll be] working on the details and developing clear-cut criteria by which we recognize the animal," said Jeff Jeske, cur riculum committee chair. A large part of that assess ment will come from within the areas of study themselves. The departments have been pulled together into related areas of study, each headed by a faculty member. These directors now have the task of meeting with the area faculty, reworking their majors, and finding out how to best pro mote their particular fields. Be fore these new areas of study were created, and all of the de partments put on the same sta tus level, the Arts and the Busi ness and Policy Studies members felt as if they were not being rec ognized as valid members of the educational establishment. "There was not a formal role for Business and Policy Studies," said Bill Stevens, man agement professor and head of the new Business and Policy Studies division. "Now all stu dents take a course that covers the area." Jack Zerbe, Arts director and professor of theatre studies has definite ideas about the new curriculum and what the new areas of study, especially his, can accomplish. "I love the new [cur riculum] on a lot of levels for its individual components and its philosophical orientation to wards interdisciplinary work. Given Guilford's mission, we ought to have a social justice class." Please see Curriculum, page 2 Cannibalism: immoral or efficient?

Senate Trea surer Olivia Rior dan pointed out that there were in sufficient numbers of students running to fill all the posi tions. Students in Bryan Flail elected sophomore Rebecca Wiggers as their representative. Wiggers is new to Senate and said she wants to be more involved in the de- cision-mak ing process on campus. "I'm ex- cited but at the same time the fact that I was the only one running from Bryan is a little disappointing," Wiggers said.

It is a body run by consen sus in which, according to Riordan, compromise is very important. "The implementation [of ideas] happens a lot faster that way," Riordan said. She referred to the Quaker traditions Senate follows in some ways and the more formal democratic process Senate also uses. "Senate is kind of a blend, and we hope for the best of both worlds," Riordan said.

An announcement released Friday clarified Guilford's alcohol policies and stressed the illegality of providing a minor with alcohol. One clarification in the re lease concerned the so-called "cup rule" that allows students to drink freely outside, assuming the bev erage is in a cup. The idea was that security and residential life staff were giv ing students the benefit of the doubt. This will no longer be the case at Guilford.
