Staff Writer
Jeremy Rinker (L), Max Carter, and Ken Gilmore share their perspectives and
memories of 9/11.The panel was held in Bryan Jr.Auditorium.
The tradition of hosting an informative and diverse panel
discussion following a traumatic or remarkable event is
not new at Guilford College. It was via this medium that
the Friends Center at Guilford commemorated the tenth
anniversary of 9/11.
The panel, titled "Ten Years After: Reflections on 9/11,"
consisted of seven Guilford professors from a variety of
disciplines. It was held on Sunday, Sept. 11, in Joseph Bryan
Jr. Auditoriufn and accommodated an impressive number
of students from all class years, professors from the college,
and members of the surrounding community.
"The intention of the panel is to combine professional
expertise in order to help the community consider the
events of Sept. 11, 2001 within the context of (Guilford's)
core values and Quaker heritage," said Campus Ministry
Coordinator and Director of the Friends Center Max Carter,
who moderated the event, in an interview held prior to the
panel.
This analysis was echoed in a preliminary interview with
one of the speakers. Visiting Assistant Professor of Peace
and Conflict Studies Jeremy Rinker, who said, "The panel
should open up dialogue about 9/11 and offer a chance for
(professors) to give (their) perspectives. We want people to

Israeli streets packed with protesters
By Natalie Sutton
Staff Writer
An estimated 400,000 protesters
are crowding the city streets of
Israel with fervent objections to
their government's priorities. These
Israelis, who are taking over the
streets of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa,
and other cities, are striving for social
justice and a lower cost of living.
According to The New York limes,
these protests commenced due to
expensive housing but have since
evolved to include demands for
tax reform and an establishment of
welfare. Whether or not the financial
circumstances in Israel are bad enough
for such a protest is arguable.
Max Carter, director of the
Friends Center and campus ministry
coordinator, questions the genuine
necessity of these protests as the Israeli
people clamor for lower prices. Carter,
who has been to Israel between 15 and
20 times, spent two and a half weeks
in Israel and the occupied territories
this summer.
Israeli protesters fill the streets day and night to demonstrate

Guilford says
goodbye to
Hodgins Retreat
UNSATISFACTORY CONDITIONS
LEAD GUILFORD TO OPT OUT OF
LEASE'S OPTIONAL THIRD YEAR
By Catherine Shurz
Staff Writer
The Hodgins Retreat apartments have
been an on-campus housing option
for Guilford students since Fall 2010,
operating through a two-year lease
with Hodgins' management. Recently,
Guilford's administration has decided
that the college will not renew the lease
for a third year.
"It will not be an option for next year
and it was not terminated early," said
Aaron Fetrow, assistant vice president
of administration and dean of students.
"It was a two-year lease with an option
for a third year that we simply did not
exercise,"
This housing option quickly became a
favorite among junior and senior students
who valued its full-sized kitchen, living
room, and bedrooms with large closets
and personal bathrooms. The location,
slightly removed from campus and
bordering the football field, was also
a draw for many students wishing to
live off-campus but still remain within
walking distance of their classes.
However, other concerns have been
raised by students and Residence Life
regarding the poor conditions of their
apartments upon arrival. The carpets
were not cleaned as promised in the
lease. Additionally, the walls that needed
painting were not painted, and repairs
that needed to be made were not attended
to.
'We were frustrated at the beginning of
the year when the rooms weren't move-in
ready for our students and it took longer
