Brian Dumas, Senate Vice-
President and Chair of the Judicial
Board, submitted a new drug policy
propsoal on November 27th that
would dramatically change the cur
rent policy.
The proposed policy states,
"Mandatory removal from campus
housing for one full semester, and
the remaining length of the present
semester for any individual caught
using, in possession of, or selling il
legal narcotics within any residen

will have 24 hours to vacate the pre

an Administrative Hearing Board.
If convicted, the student will forfeit
monies paid for student housing and
no refunds, partial or whole, will be
granted.

Jerry Godard,
Academic Dean, will
serve as a sort of in
terim president while
McNemar is away, and
will be responsible for
the day-to-day opera

making any necessary
decisions as they

This new policy can be
found in the Lotus Notes discus

from the original policy (found on
pages 35-36 of the student hand
book). Over 100 community mem

The administration is par
ticularly anxious, having received
a prestigious Kresge Foundation
challenge grant in late Septem
ber, which promises Guilford Col
lege a $1 million donation only if
it can raise $7,816,379 by Jan. 1,
2002. The pressure is high be
cause it's an all-or-nothing situa

plished, the college receives nil.

Senate President Cynthia
McKay began the discussion of the
policy by saying "There was no in
tention of approving the policy this
