The Carolinian February 27, 1975 The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Vorumn LTV Number 34 New staff selection method brings changes to dorms Dean Shirley Flynn receives petitions from Guilford Dorm Coordinator Mark Dionne. Staff Photo by Chuck Houska Dean Flynn visits Guilford, residents may need to move BY CHUCK HOUSKA Staff Writer "I'm only here to get your input.... not to tell you to leave the dorm," said Shirley Flynn, dean of Students for Residence Life. Dean Flynn spoke to the residents of Guilford Dorm Tuesday afternoon concerning the future of the dorm. She outlined the plans of creating a Graduate Center there for the 1975-76 academic year. According to Dean Flynn an area of housing is needed for older students to live and work. "Older students want to be with other older students," said Dean Flynn. A graduate student, Mitchell Washington, of Guilford was opposed to the idea of segregating undergraduates from graduate students. "In life, people are going to have to live with people of different ages, and they might as well get used to it now." said Washington. Dean Flynn told the residents of Guilford that their dorm was under consideration for the Graduate Center because of "nice little rooms for studying" When asked why other dorms weren't as suitable, Dean Flynn said that Guilford had a basement which could be more easily converted into study areas. "Although we are talking about using Guilford for the Graduate Center, we have not ruled out other possibilities." said Dean Flynn. During the meeting Dean Flynn was presented with a petition asking her to consider the fact that the residents of Guilford don't want to be moved to a new dorm. The petition had over 1000 signatures. Dean Flynn told the residents that their petition would be considered along with their views. The residents of Guilford told Dean Flynn that Guilford was the only male undergraduate dorm on that side of campus and that it would be wrong to relocate it. One student went to the extent of stating that he would refuse to live anywhere else. After hearing the resident's feedback. Dean Flynn told the residents that she was impressed by their unity and said that she would keep them informed. BY CATHY KRINICK In response . to a Student Senate request, a student-administrative committee has developed a new policy for the selection, training, and supervision of dorm coordinators. The major change proposed by the new policy calls for the selection of all dorm coordinators by the Residence Halls Student Staff Selection Board, composed of faculty, administrative, and student representatives. Presently the dorm coordinators are elected by either a dorm or campus-wide vote. The Board will also be responsoble for the selection and assigning of assistant staff members in the Residence Halls. Another provision of the policy changes the names of dorm coordinators to residence hall coordinators. The Selection Board will be chaired by the dean of students for Residence Life. As chairman, Dean Shirley Flynn will select a faculty member, and a residence hall administrator, counselor, and graduate assistant to serve on the Board. Student members will include representatives from the Senate and the offices of the SGA President, Vice President, and Attorney General. Each of these offices will have one representative except the President's, which will have both an executive cabinet and a non-cabinet representative. The proposed policy outlines the duties and responsibilities of the residence hall student staff as well as the selection method. In addition, a procedure for dealing with complaints against a student staff member has been drafted. The measure should come before the Senate in the near future. If adopted, this policy will delete from the SGA Constitution, By-Laws, and Regulations all mention of dorm coordinators and resident advisors. The proposed policy would then become an administrative policy under the Office of the Dean of Students for Residence Life. According to the preface of the new policy, any changes in it would have to be approved by a concensus of the dean of students for Residence Life, the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, and the president, -/ice president, and attorney general of SGA before said changes could be implemented. The proposal also includes short sections on the philosophy of the residence hall and the philosophy of the residence halls student staff. These sections are designed to give prospective staff members a better concept of their job and to alert the students as to what they can and should expect from their residence hall coordinator. Ms. Madeline Bombeld, house counselor in Jamison who served as the chairman of the committee that drafted the policy stated. "I'm very excited about it (the new policy). I think it's a very good beginning for a new system." Ms. Bombeld went on to say that the new system should result in a better trained and better qualified group of people. See "DORM" Page 4 Students want referendum laundry vote on Tuesday BY CATHY KRINICK A referendum on the campus laundry service will be held on March 4 from 9:00 a.m. !o 5:00 p.m. The ballot for the referendum will present to the students the following questions: 1) Should the compulsory laundry service be abolished? 2) Should the laundry service be made optional at the discretion of the individual student? Students will also have the opportunity to add any comments, either pro or con, that they may have about the laundry service. Each student will vote in his designated precinct. Residents of Moore, Strong, Phillips, Hawkins, Ragsdale, Mendenhall, Weil, Winfield. Jamison, Bailey, Hinshaw, Cotten, Gray, and Coit are to vote in the lounge in the Dining Hall. Residents of North Spencer, South Spencer, Guilford, Mary Foust, Grogan, Cone, and Reynolds are to vote in the North Spencer Tunnel. Town Students are to vote in the area outside of the Ben bow Room in Elliott HaU. SGA President Jim McAbee stated, "I hope that the response to the referendum will be as positive as the response to the petition was. This referendum will be used as a lever in dealing with the administration in the area of reform of the laundry system." He added, "I believe strongly that the time is long overdue for action on this particular issue. Student opinions on the laundry has been polarizing for some time and is now at a crucial stage. We've got to begin to act while the students are strongly in support of our actions." This laundry referendum was initiated by petitions circulated among the student body at the end of last semester. Over 1500 signatures were obtained, constituting roughly 25 per cent of the undergraduate student body. UNC-G professor develops test to determine food values Program Friday, February 28, the Student-Faculty Media Board will give a presentation entitled, "Financing the Media, What Is the Best Way?" at the Presbyterian House. Dinner will be served at 5:30. Charge for the dinner is 75 cents per person. BY KURT BERON Striking Staff Writer (Editors Note: This article was submitted by Mr. Beron before the strike began.) Though no one would consider food to be a minor thing, it has often been described as one of the elements in a game of life. The element of the "game" has been incorporated by UNC-G anthropologist Dr. Thomas Fitzgerald into a new test of people's food habits. Fitzgerald, who will be co-chairing a symposium on "Applied Aspects of Nutrition" at the International Congress of Applied Anthropologists in Amsterdam, Holland on March 19-23, made the game because "nutritionists are constantly looking for ways to get better information about foods." He said, 'The usual way is to send people a questionaire about the foods they eat or test them by 24 hour recall. These are not completely valid because they are in an unnatural situation. 'This test is slightly more natural, less threatening, and also kind of fun. If you ask someone in the community what beverages they prefer, they're not going to say "I drink a cocktail before dinner" because that's not what you would say to a nutritionist in that context." With Fitzgerald's game, composed of a board with seven places numbered from +3, +2. to -2, -3 and cards with pictures of food on them, people are asked to place their favorite foods on the higher numbers, foods they are indifferent to on "0." and foods they dislike on the lowest numbers. They are also asked to rank foods by the amount of times they eat those foods and how healthy they think those foods are for them. "If you've got something like a cocktail," Fitzgerald said, "people are not as likely to be intimidated since they're not really saying 'this is my cocktail.' This is like a projective test - a game." He believes people will put down food cards where they honestly believe •'R,y g". since they do not consider themselves as being judged by the nutritionist. After this is completed, the nutritionist uses a mathematical formula to score the person's selections, and is then able to compare the different food habits of different groups, such as blacks and whites or the poor and wealthy. The symposium at which Fitzgerald will be presenting his game and a 25 page paper on "How to Study Food Behavior in a Cultural Context" will be composed of 11 people from several countries including Columbia, Holland, and the United States. "I don't think the food problem is getting better," Fitzgerald said. "I'm not a pessimist, but I don't think it's getting better. There is more emphasis on food right now, and nutritionists are doing a great job. But there are not enough (nutritionists) to educate the number of people. Most of the dietary surveys indicate that even in the U.S. our diets are not improving." The reason for this, he believes, is that Americans have moved away from the rural life where people had gardens and natural foods "and they had accessibility." In the cities, he said, "people's lifestyles are changing and there is a lot of stress in our lives. All these things interact," he continued, and this, he believes, is causing nutrition to become an ever increasing concern for our society. Senate discusses "Carolinian9 strike clerical wages in effect for February In Tuesday night's meeting, the Senate passed a motion to continue paying the clerical help that had received wages in January for the work done in February. The personnel who will be paid for February are SGA secretaries, SGA workroom manager, legislative assistant, "Carolinian" secretaries, "Pine Needles' secretary, Judicial secretary. Business managers of "Carolinian," "Coraddi," ' Pine Needles!," TSA, and SGA, and the "Carolinian" Advertising Manager. Guilford consul Cliff Mitchell moved to delete the "Carolinian" Ad manager from the list of those being paid wages for February since the Ad manager of the "Cary" had gone on strike. It was pointed out that the payment would be for work already done in February, and Mitchell withdrew his motion The Senate also passed a resolution appropriating S750 to SGA to bring the Joe Droukas Band to campus for a three hour concert to be held April 10 from 8:00-11 00 p.m. in the Quad. A motion was made by Cliff Mitchell that the Senate extend support and help to Editor Pam Smith in her efforts to continue to produce 'The Carolinian." This resulted in a discussion over whether this motion would interfere with 'The Carolinian's" right to freedom of the press. Also debated was the fact that the word "support" could be construed as monetary support. Mitchell withdrew his motion, and TS senator Cynthia Broom moved to thank Ms. Smith for realizing her duty to t,he student body and to further thank her for her efforts to continue publishing the "Cary.' This motion passed. In other action, the Senate passed a resolution urging Chancellor James Ferguson to act on the Student Bill of Rights before the end of this semester, A resolution of best wishes to his wife was also passed. Mrs. Ferguson is recouperating from surgery in Wesley Long Hospital. Under appointments, Brian Bama was approved as TS consul. Cynthia Broom, Barbara Hardy, and "Kap" Sink were approved to the Internal Senate Committee on Senatorial Absenses. An Ad-hoc committee on TS affairs was formed to help Dean Shipton with a survey. Appointed to this committee were Chairperson Cynthia Broom, David Bout well, Adrian Whitney, Mary Maxwell, and Melinda Murphy. Dr. Thomas Fitzgerald has to teat food
