ents with the legal knowledge to
keep the best interests of the
college at heart," Anne Lundquist
said.
Campus Life has two main
objectives this year. The most
important focus is blumng the
lines between student social
cliques. "I want to encourage
football players to go to PRIDE
rallies, liberal students to go to
see conservative speakers, and
vice versa, not because of what
they personally believe but
because it supports their fellow
students," Fetrow said.
Fetrow promises that he and
other members of Campus Life
will attend all school events to
help encourage students to
break down stereotypes. He is
also encouraging Hall Directors
and RAs to be present at events
set further examples.
"The student body at Guilford
is growing, both in number and
in diversity, so we at Campus
Life are really trying to focus on
some fun for everyone," Fetrow
said. For the next month, activi
ties have been planned for the
campus. Activities are varied and
aimed to please the increasingly
diverse student body at Guilford.
Students might recall the
mechanical bull, free ice
cream, t-shirt painting stand,
and the promotional Coca-
Cola Zero trailer that were
located near Founders Hall.
Fetrow said these activities
are Just a taste of the pro
grams that Campus Life has
planned for this year.
A highlight in the Campus
Life activity calendar Is the
dance that will be held at
Guilford on September 2, in
Alumni Gym. Alcohol will be
served, and I.D.s will be
checked. Campus Life wants
the student body to know that
they trust the students at
Guilford and wa,nt them to be
happy and have a good time.
A former student of Fetrow's,
Aaron Saunders, describes
the new dean as someone
who really cares about the
students and is working hard
"to give on campus students
some of the same rights allot
ted to citizens in a society."
"I love him!" Anne Lundquist
yelled, sharing in Saunders'
high regard for Fetrow. "He is
a team-player and very collab
orative."

A Few Words from the Cultural Pluralism Committee
The Cultural Pluralism Committee is a group of faculty, staff and students charged with the responsi
bility of helping to create and maintain Guilford College as a true community of seekers where equity,
true diversity and anti-racism are all respected values.
This year, as we gear up to help make the College's strategic long-range plan a reality, you will be
hearing more from us. Our efforts will begin with an assessment of the community's needs with regard
to cultural pluralism. We will also be working as an advocacy group focused on identifying patterns of
systematic and systemic acts that create an environment hostile to cultural pluralism and anti-racism.
While it is not our place to resolve individual grievances, we do want to know what you think, what
you've experienced and/or what you've observed.
