New CSB interim president named
By Chris Lusvardi
Editorial staff
CSB has a new president at the same time SJU President Br. Dietrich Reinhart has been reelected for a third term.
Dr. Carol Guardo was
named interim president of CSB Tuesday. Guardo will replace Dr. Mary Lyons, who resigned effective July l to become president at the University of San Diego.
Guardo will be president during the 2003-04 school year while the CSB
Board of Trustees conducts a full search for the school's next president. The selection is expected in spring 2004. Guardo will not be a candidate for the permanent position.
While CSB is transi-tioning in a new president, Reinhart was
recently reelected for a third six-year term beginning July 1.
Both current presidents sat down for interviews this week with The Record reflecting on their time as presidents and looking ahead to the future.
Lyons moves on
Lyons has enjoyed her time at CSB, but she has decided it is time for her to move back to her native California.

Stearns County investigators continued their search for Joshua Guimond in Stump Lake on Tuesday. The search turned up nothing, as investigators spent six hours Tuesday dragging the lake. In November, clogs traced GuimondLS scent to the lake, although nothing else has been found.
Search continues, still no answers
By Katie Holloway
Editorial staff
It has been almost six months since a member of the CSB/SJU community disappeared. Tattered posters with his face and information still hang by peeling duct tape on several walls around campus. A "Find Joshua sign" leans against the stone wall at the entrance to St. John's. Yellow ribbons are pinned to backpacks as a symbol of hope. A number of events have been held in his name. But Joshua Guimond still has not come home.
"This campus will never be the same," said junior Greg Worden, who was Guimond's roommate their first year and neighbor for two years.
New searches are underway to find Guimond, who disappeared Nov. 9 after leaving an on-campus gathering at Metten Court.
Investigators from the Stearns County Sheriffs Department searched
the lakes at SJU on foot and horseback on April 22 for any sign of Guimond, according to Chief Deputy Bruce Bechtold. Two cadaver-detection dogs also searched the area Sunday morning.
"The dogs indicated the scent of human remains on Stumpf Lake, but we didn't find a body," Bechtold said.
The lake was dragged by investigators Tuesday.
The Trident Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization that provides technical support in water searches, has been formally invited by the sheriff to help investigate the possibility that Guimond is in the water, Bechtold confirmed. Guimond's family and friends met with the Stearns County Commissioners and urged them to request that Trident be asked to search the lakes. Trident will be paid with money from the Find Joshua Fund.

Fall China trip cancelled due to SARS
By Nick Watts
Staff writer
More than three weeks ago students planning to study abroad in China this fall were told that the trip was cancelled due to the SARS outbreak.
Students were faced with the possibilities of choosing available spots in other abroad programs or enrolling in classes on campus. Many
were shocked and disappointed about the news, but most understand the severity of this situation.
For SJU junior Zack Johnson, SARS meant not going to China, but it didn't stop him from studying abroad.
"My parents had kind of been preparing me for this. I had dealt with it already, but the majority of the students there
were just shocked," he said. Johnson plans to study abroad in Austria instead.
Richard Bohr is the director of Asian Studies and is on the board of directors of a national consortium of liberal arts programs called
ASIANetworks. The group of 150 colleges unanimously decided to cancel all programs to
China.
"This was the only decision that could be made, given the potential risk. We've built such a solid foundation with our partners in China even though we will have this interruption of one year," Bohr said.
Bohr sees a potential opportunity for students seeking to enhance their public health education
on this campus while also doing volunteer service.
"There are opportunities because of this crisis to do research projects, teaming up students and teachers to do public health work that would include biology," Bohr said. "There are so many situations where the Chinese are saying we need this outside help."
S JS Senator resigns amid allegations of bias
By Austin DeCock
Editorial staff
On April 13, Gevon Moss resigned from the St. John's Senate citing perceived bias against the Cultural Affairs Board and its projects.
"It's clear the Senate has its favorites and CAB, part of the Senate
itself, doesn't get any Moss said, support," Moss said.
That lack of support, according to Moss, was evident in the CAB being allocated only 28 percent of what they requested and in the cold treatment many of his proposals received from the SJS.
"I felt like I was talking to a wall sometimes,"
A point of particular contention was the failure to pass the "commitment to equality" amendment Moss proposed at a previous Senate meeting.
SJS President Michael Hahn said that he believed the amendment to the constitution failed
in part because the SJS constitution already contains a commitment to diversity and many Senators felt this proposal was redundant.
Hahn also points out that as far as allocations go, 10 percent of the budget went towards cultural projects.
"CAB proposed some
great programming, but at this time we just can't afford it all, and that's a tough decision to make," Hahn said.
He personally wished Moss would have stayed on.
"I was shocked when Gevon resigned. He was an excellent senator and worked extremely hard."
them, who cared and did
her very, very best," Lyons said.
Having a new president makes Lyons at ease with her decision to move on.
"I felt a huge relief when the announcement

SJU dorms to be keyed
By Chris Lusvardi
Editorial staff
New locks will be in place on the doors of Tommy and Mary Halls by next fall.
The locks are part of a plan to upgrade security in all the dorms at St. John's and throughout the campus.
The locks will be proximity locks, meaning students simply flash their I.D. cards to gain access to the buildings when the doors are locked.
"We want to keep a warm, friendly and welcoming place that is also secure," said Jason Laker, SJU dean of campus life.
When the doors will be locked remains in question. Administrators have no plans to lock the doors 24/7; rather, they will most likely be locked late at night.
The St. John's Senate was asked last week to write a proposal for how the locks are going to be used. However, the Senate's proposal, written by the body's Executive Board, came out altogether against the use of locks.
"The research of the proposal to lock the buildings has surfaced no evidence that there would be a major increase in safety, but rather, it will clearly damage this community in irreversible ways," the proposal stated.
The Executive Board presented the proposal to the full Senate at the general meeting Sunday. No vote was taken on the matter.
However, Laker and St. John's President Br. Dietrich Reinhart cited concern over student safety and damage to university property as reasons for the increased security.
"It is clear to me that the buildings need to be lockable," Reinhart said.
The concern is not about a threat from within the community; rather, outsiders coming onto campus is a concern.
The locks are more preemptive than in response to any actual incidents. They are part of a routine look at campus security in response to concern by many sides, including parents. In addition to building locks, the university is looking into additional lighting and blue light emergency phones.
