The Board of Trustees,
which comes to
Guilford three times per year,
visited campus Feb. 20-21.
The Board is the executive
council that has the final say
in most of the college's activi
ties, including managing the
goals, policies, and affairs of
the college.
"They basically hear the
state of the college, ... see
(what) progress has been
made since the last meeting,
and then ... make plans for
things to take place until the

ground for Tinsley's students,
who read poetry, presented a
biography of Miles Davis, and
reenacted famous moments
of black history.
"It was great to see the cel
ebration of a part of history
that is often neglected," senior
Rushdee Omar said.
Haines handled his instru
ment, the bass, with the skill
of a tender lover. During the
performance he was draped
over his instrument like a wil
low tree, so deep in a jazz
trance only a clinched smile
appeared on his face, jam
ming to the wails from the
saxophone or flute of
Wiggins.

next time," senior Floyd
McKissick, president of the
Community Senate and a
member of the Board, said.

is to approve requests for
tenure by faculty members.

made and will be made public

The Board decided to renew
the college's one-year con

also heard a proposal from
New Garden Friends School

Senator Mitchell preaches peace

Getting around Senator
Ted Kennedy in
Congress is tough, but
former senator George
Mitchell climbed over him on
his first day in the Senate only
to lie down next to a sleeping
John Warner, former husband
of actress Elizabeth Taylor,
during a filibuster.
This was among the con
gressional tidbits Senator
Mitchell shared in his speech
at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 in Dana
Auditorium. Mitchell was this
year's last Bryan Series
speaker, which has already
brought acclaimed documen-

actor Sidney Poitier, play
wright Edward Albee, and
author Sherwin Nuland to
campus.
"It's great to have public
political figures [on campus],"
freshman David Unger said.
Mitchell graduated from
Bowdoin College in 1954, and
served with the U.S. Army in
Berlin until 1956, working as
part of the Army's counter
intelligence corps. He gradu
ated from Georgetown
University's school of law and
began working in Washington,
D.C. In 1979 he was appoint
