She hopes the move will facilitate more programming in volving all those offices. The first-year center is now in the office space that once be longed to the academic dean. Also, in the same suite of offices is the office of Santes Beatty, Director of African American Affairs. J.J.

He posed the question to the Coalition that night as he had to ter or by the stairway from the Carnegie Room. "Being in the library is a pleasant thing," said Academic Dean Martha Cooley, but admit ted, "We'll miss the student activ ity around us." To encourage stu dent input, Cooley plans to host lunches occasionally with student and faculty groups. She re quested rocking chairs lor the new offices to make the space as invit ing as possible. The space allocated to be the Multicultural Resource Center has also been made inviting with comforable couches; it occupies 203-A, upstairs in Founders hall. Daphine Strickland will be the di rector of the center, which, accord ing to the August 15th community newsletter, will strive to "preserve and promote the ethnic cultures of all Guilford students, faculty and staff and to build community among the various student cul tures on campus." These new offices will take some getting used to, but all in volved hope that they will benefit students. "We still don't have the kind of student center we need," says Cooley, but she hopes we are one step closer. News fellow arts faculty members in ear lier meetings: "What difference does it make to have art in the world? What do the arts contrib ute to the life of a community?" Some of the things that the Coalition will be focusing on are the suggestions made by others at the meeting: "individual studio space," "a new arts building," "pro ductions of plays from non-west ern culture, as well as music and dance," and "film viewings—hope fully of student-written/made and not taken as a serious form of st ud y ... and artists are some times their own worst enemies; Senate swings into action, prepares for year By Colin McFadden-Roan SENATE REPORTER Unfilled positions or no, Com munity Senate swung into action over the past week. Scarcely a beat was missed despite two lingering hindrances. First, Executive Council was officially only half full until Wednesday when lan Watlington (V.P.) and Jenny Craigie (Secre tary) were approved with Senate's unanimous (as always) approval. Also, the ever-important Student Services Committee remained without a chairperson. Where Student Services remained dor mant, Budget Committee picked up the slack this week. New committee members were baptized by fire as several new budgets were reviewed, this on top of' the weighty decision concerning Union's budget. Last spring, Union re quested 5127,195. Because of an unprecedented 25% jump in stu dent organizations last year, the committee asked Union to slash Gary Young lege should be, right?

One person voiced a desire to see the Coalition "establish con nections outside of Guilford so that the greater Greensboro commu nity can be aware and supportive of the arts activity going on here." The Coalition got other ideas from answers written to questions posted on the wall.

In this column next week, the independent committee to revamp Senate, headed by Community Senate veter ans Jessie White and Allie Randall will get its due press time. The Danas and the Fraziers may be demolished at the end of this school year to make way for the Frank Center and its park ing, but new alternative housing locations like the old poli-sci house will be considered. On Oct. 2nd, Senate will recognize the staff who work here at Guilford with food and festivities on the t.hird-ever Worker Appreciation Day.

Beginning this week we will he advertising open Senate positions and placing applica tions at the Information Desk. Some of these positions range from dormitory representatives, vacant committee chairs, to an athletic representative. If you are an athlete, a resi dent of a dorm, or in any way not happy with the way things have been going at Guilford, now is your chance to do some thing about your feelings.
