Guilford Hires New Security Head
Alex Robertson
Staff Writer
Guilford has not had a direc
tor of public safety since the be
ginning of this school year. But that
will change on Monday, Nov. 11,
when Reginald Hayes comes to
Guilford.
"I think students will be recep
tive to hirn. He has a good de
meanor," said Dean of Campus Life,
Anne Lundquist. "He will fit in well
at Guilford."
Ludquist, John Jenkins and
Community Senate Vice President
Tamara Asad were members of
the committee that decided to of
fer Hayes the position. Jenkins is
the Associate CFO for Facilites.
Hayes, who is a part time vol
unteer basketball coach at the
Guilford YMCA, has over 20 years
of experience in community cor
rections.
Hayes has been involved with
many organizations, including the Vio
lent Crime Task Force of Greensboro
and the Center for Community Safety
in Winston Salem.

Recent Guilford activities:
Over 30 women from Guilford, dressed in black, participated in a
Women in Black demonstration in downtown Greensboro on Wednesday
Oct 30. Women in Black is an international organization, founded in Israel,
that protests war, rape and "disappearances."
Upcoming events:
Tuesday, Nov. 12, 6 - 7:30 pm, Gallery.
Cathy Hansen, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, will discuss what to do
if you're assaulted, drug-assisted rape, the effects of alcohol on sexual
assault, and ways women and men can empower themselves to make
good decisions and minimize risky behavior.
Friday, Nov. 23 - Saturday, Nov. 24
A Safe Space Conference. FREE and SAFE are sponsoring this sexual
assault education conference, which will culminate with a Take Back the
Night rally and march through Guilford's campus Saturday night.
Before coming to Guilford, Hayes
worked as the Director of the Guilford
County Day Reporting Restitution Cen
ter. There, Hayes headed a small staff
and was responsible for overall op
eration and administration.
Most recently, Hayes has di
rected the Fatherhood Connection
Program at the Association for the
Benefit of Child Development.
"Hayes is a caring person with
a background in this community,"
said John Jenkins.
"He has more of an educa
tional approach to student behav
ior, not punitive," said Lundquist.
"He believes in teaching commu
nity standards to prevent inci
dents."
With tensions rising between
students and the new Allied Secu
rity, Hayes' presence and de
meanor could have a positive im
pact on the Guilford community.
"Last year, security seemed
like friends. I even watched the World
Series with a security guard," said
sophomore Adam Joseph. "That
would never happen this year."

Lundquist indicated that she
was happy the vacency for a direc
tor of public safety had been filled.
"It has been taxing not having a
head of security.. That is a posi
tion I work closely with. His pres
ence will unify the staff and pro
vide leadership to the new security,"
said Lundquist.
"The school has been going
through lots of changes, with the

hiring of lots of new staff," said
Jenkins. "I think Hayes will be a
real asset."
Hayes replaces Sylvia Chillcott
who headed Guilfod security for
eight years. Chillcott resigned to
take a similar position at Catawba
College, her alma mater.
"Not having a head of security
has been a real handful," said Jenkins.
"We look forward to having Hayes."
