Interview with President Chabotar Continued from page i see both internal and external evaluations of student work. As for mainstreaming, it depends on what you mean by "mainstream." First of all, I wasn’t aware America had a mainstream. Last time I looked, the mainstream is pretty diverse. I don't see what main- streaming is in this diverse cotm- try. I don’t feel like I'm being mainstreamed. It’s also, with some people, if you don’t look like every other X on campus of our type, whatever our type is, sud denly you're mainstreaming. As the student body expands, do you think Guilford’s Quaker values will stop being as evi dent? We’re not as consensus-driven as we might be. There are certain areas that are not consensus driv en. But this administration has done more for Quakerism in three years than my predecessors did in 20. For example, we have Quakerism 101. Part of the plan is Quaker. We're going to have FYE next year for employees, in which they’re going to learn about our Quaker roots and Quaker busi ness practice.

We have affirmative action for Quakers. We are hiring for next year a recruiter to recruit Quaker students. How do you think Guilford’s Quaker values are evidenced here? People ask what we do besides open class with a moment of silence, which is a fair question. I think the fact that the students are so "out there" in respect to social justice - I mean, the students are going to Louisiana over spring break to build houses. That’s an easy sell here - it's oversub scribed. That, to me, is Quakerism. And lastly, what's your favorite Quaker value? Quakers and Catholics share the belief that faith alone does not save, good works do. Good works, as well as faith, save you. 36 Bill Stevens to retire JonathaiT^Philll^ Staff Writer After 24 years at Guilford College, Bill Stevens, Dean for Continuing Education, will retire so he can spend more time with his family and concentrate on his farm. "I’m walking into an unknown situation," Stevens said, "full of possibilities and fears." Since arriving in 1982, Stevens has acted as Associate Professor of Business Management and Director of the Business and Policy Division. For the past five years he has also been the Director of Summer School. His most measurable success has come as Dean of Continuing Education. Since he took on the position in 2000, adult enrollment has risen 381 percent from 270 to 1,299 students. Guilford now operates the largest evening Bachelors degree program in the Triad, offering Forensic Biology, Accounting, Business Management, Community and Justice Studies, Computer Information Systems, Criminal Justice, Education Studies, History, Political Science, and Psychology majors. "Most services are straightfor ward," Stevens said. "If you just listen to the students then you can Bill Stevens will leave this year. try to give them what they want." One such service is the child care program now offered through the Sunshine House, which gives CCE students with children reliable and cost-effective childcare while they attend night and weekend classes. "People asked for it," Stevens said. Stevens also believes that most things that serve adult students can serve traditional students too. "Take Forensic Biology," Stevens said. "Adult students sup plied the demand and now tradi tional students can take advan tage of it." Adrienne Israel, Vice President Continued on page 3
