uncertainty, GAB and Senate
compromised on this ensemble

worked with Senate Business
Manager Nancy Klosteridis,
as well as WQFS, to provide a
less-expensive option than the

DJ Tim Grau for $100. They also
approved sophomore Adam
Katzman's proposal to bring
Baltimore-based hip-hop group

These proposals were initiated
because Senate did not reach
unanimous consent at the Feb. 18
meeting. In order to gather student
opinion on Dr. Dog, senators
consulted their constituents.
Because of the time sensitivity,
they approved Toubab Krewe for
$7,500 and stage and produwon
for $8,016. \
"Everyone I talked to wanted
as much music as possible for
Serendipity," said Klosteridis at
the Feb. 25 meeting.
In addition to speaking with
many students, Klosteridis met
with WQFS anci CAB and agreed
on WQFS' choice. Holy Ghost
Tent Revival, as well as DJ Tim
Grau.
Also during the week between
meetings, Katzman, a WQFS DJ,
called booking agents about a
wide variety of artists ranging
from $1,000 to $5,000 and found

"It generally rolled off people's
tongues that this is a train wreck
waiting to happen, so word got
around," said Katzman in a later
interview when asked how he
discovered that Senate wanted
other options.

On Feb. 9 the Corporation for
National and Community Service
placed Guilford on the President's
Higher Education Community

therefore extremely
dangerous ..." were the first
words that crossed the screen
in the Leak Room. Spoken
by an anonymous FBI agent,
they describe the iconoclast
depicted in the documentary
"Trudell."
The Native American Club
(NAG) chose to screen the film
about John Trudell on Feb. 16
as part of their continuing

NAG, sophomore Christina
Somerville.
These injustices are

Native American college

in the nation, yet this isn't
represented in their colleges,"
said senior Marshall Jeffries,
NAG president.
