October 21, 1966 VIEW FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL (Continued from page 2) government. At Guilford one soon becomes aware of the ramifications of student government. The functions or supposed functions of Student Legislature, Honor Board, MSC and WSC even when honored more in the breech than in the observance were readily apparent to anyone who took the trouble to observe, and like the poor, these groups were always with us. At the U however, the proliferation of student gov ernment is staggering (like some other things). The number of councils legislatures, courts and boards is legion, many of their functions lost in the obscurity of the institution's 200 years. Their number is rivaled only by the number ot executive positions. There are in addition to the usual and expected presidents, vice presidents, secre taries and treasurers, governors, residence college governors, floor governors, house governors, lieutenant-governors, academic lieutenant governors, social lieutenant-governors, residence college presidents, VPs, etc., house advisors, college advisors and a myriad of other such functionaries. A recent survey disclosed the following statistics: Total number of students at UNC-CH, 14,558. Total number of students holding some executive position such as the above, 14,555. Total number of students not a lieutenant-governor, etc., 3. Further investiga tion proved these to be, two Lithuanian exchange students who spoke no English, and an orangatang enrolled as a special student in the psychology department. To an even more shocking degree this urban sprawl is characteristic of the faculty and administrative personnel. Where as Guilford contents itself with a maximum of one president, one business manager and not more than three deans, half of whom have time on their hands as is, the University finds it necessary to employ a host of deans, presidents, chancellors, provosts, proconsuls, procurators, faculty chairmen and ROTC field-marshals. A recent survey disclosed, total number of faculty and administrative personnel at UNC-CH, 925. Total number occupying some high positions as the above, 922. Total number of faculty and administrative personnel not chancellors, deans chairmen, etc., 3. These included two Lithuanian exchange instructors who spoke no English, and an orangatang who was a full professor of psychology. Eating has to me always been one of life's small pleasures and so a word about food. Far be it from me to say that Mr. Lee cooks like Pariahs in Cellar It was announced this week that the library is placing a small col lection of duplicate and unneeded titles on sale at per volume. The sale will be held from October 15th through November 15th. All proceeds from the sale will be de posited with the business office to be used in the purchase of new titles for the library collection. Faculty and students are invited to inspect the collection which is housed in the cellar of the library building. Once a selection of titles has been made, the books should be presented at the circulation desk where payment will he made. Any inquiries about the sale col lection or its specific location should be made at the circulation desk. "Biophilers" (Continued from page 2) as well as animals and butterflies. While there we visited the snake farm across the road, filled with cobras, pythons, adders, oversized turtles, peculiar little green ani mals—(Mr. Ward, you'll have to name them for me) —lizards. The geologists would also have a field day in Africa. Besides dia monds, there are all sorts of prec ious and semi-precious stones. At Mwanza, Tanzanie, we saw un usual rock formations, some look ing like impressionistic statues of Egyptian deities. Everywhere there are flowers; the same was true in Italy and here in Switzerland. Our spring, sum mer, and autumn flowers blooming simultaneously. I believe I've seen nothing new but a mahogany sun flower. If anyone is interested in para sites, he would be interested and seek information on bilharzia. All Africa is concerned: a parasite from the Bilharzia snail, which is deadly if a human becomes the host. Swiss pharmacists are trying to find a drug effective against it As a final juicy bit, we were riding along a country road, there was a huge pile of vegetation to collect white ants, which Africans, Kittens, etc. like. You can buy them chocolate covered in delica tessen shops in N.S.A. Our best wishes to all of you. (Signed) Clyde and Ernestine Milner The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it. "Mommy, unless your Mommy has subsequently been institutionalized, hut 1 must say that since my ex perience with Chapel Hill, I nave gamed much respect for this gentleman. At the outset, let me make it clear that the on campus tare at Carolina, with the vast resources of the state behind it, is no better than what Guilford College has to offer. In fact the tamed "student special" at Caro lina resembles some of Mr. Lee's more depraved moments. And the prices, my God! A fellow who owned even a small part of that non-profit (institution could be come a rich man. The money students pay at the cafeterias goes into the state treasury, and if anyone is paying taxes in addition, then something is radically wrong. Even then you are welcome for seconds only if you bring more money, and the portions are dished out from under a powerful magni fying glass. Byway of example, during my undergraduate years I became, 1 confess, somewhat ad dicted to Mr. Lee's chicken a la king. While frequently lacking in chicken, I remember many happy days sitting in the cafeteria from say, 11:00 to 1:00, consuming plate after plate of the concoction. You are started out with three pieces of toast and a ladle full of this ambrosure. Each of the five or six times I returned, the por tions increased as the help grew more and more exasperated. At Carolina, not so, however. Recent ly this dish was offered there for luncheon, and my old passions were reawakened. The dose there is one piece (1-2) of toast with a teaspoonful of stuff and while there were things in the mixture that looked like they may have come from a chicken, there was very little sign of the chicken himself, with one salad, supplied under Mr. Lee's regime in copious quantity, but grudgingly granted, at Carolina, and dessert, you have WCOG IS ON THE AIR 36 HOURS A DAY Would you believe 24? THE GUILFORDIAN T. W. 2 & Santa The Revelers' Club has announc ed plans for its fall productions. A Night with Tennessee Williams, in volving two of his one-act plays, will be given on the 11th and 12th of November. These plays will be This Property Is Condemned and The Case of the Crushed Petunias. The director, Pat Gilbreath, has announced the cast.

In the weeks to come while these plays are in preparation for pre sentation, it is hoped that all those interested will come out and help. Emory - R. N. Don Jones, on recruitment tour for the Emory University School of Nursing, will speak at Guilford College on Tuesday, October 25, 12:00 o'clock noon. Emory offers a collegiate nursing program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The Emory nurse receives two years of academic work in the Emory Col lege before entering the three-year professional nursing program. Mr. Jones has had extensive ex perience in student work, includ ing eight years on the faculty of the Baylor School in Chattanooga as instructor and as a guidance counselor. just said farewell to our country's first president. While personally, I deplore give-away programs, as we all know the federal govern ment has hundreds of warehouses throughout the country filled with choice steaks, fresh butter and pie a la mode just going to waste and this is the only country in the world where students are not the objects of special perqs. It is a sign of the times that to live well you must be on the poverty program. Next week we hope to bring you reports from N. C. State Uni versity at Raleigh and the Uni versity of Maryland in Virginia. In closing I would like to plug my forthcoming book to be re leased shortly by Charles Scribler & Sons. It deals with life at a small woman's college, and is entitled "Toward an Honorable Piece." by Burt Rubin UNC-CH Grad. Law 'The Rock' Revisited A pause in the wind brought sudden warmth and quiet. From below came the muted sound of the climbers—questioning voices, encourag ing male ones. Peace enveloped the mountain, and only the sky and the rock seemed real. When the last member of the Biophile Club had ascended, we sat on a ledge and enjoyed one of the few quiet moments of the trip. This was Hanging Rock Park in the early autumn; acres of green, broken only occasionally by the red of the early-changing sour wood leaves, were surrounded by a patchwork quilt of farmland which faded into mist in the distance. In a short time, the silent meeting broke up as we went off in search of good climbing. It was found in the form of the cliff face, and the more adventuresome of the group began their painstaking descent while the remaining two frolicked down the moun tainside by a far easier path. Saturday night was ushered in to the tune of guitar music and siz zling steaks. Pat Gilbreath, who chaperoned the outing, was especially appreciated for her culinary talents, which were in evidence in the form of fudge-nut brownies. We passed the remainder of the evening around the campfire. The bright moonlight gave everything a dreamlike qual ity and even a remote sadness, the kind you feel when, in the course of a day's horseback riding, you come upon the ruins of a house and see what silent nature has done to the fields that some farmer spent a life time clearing and working. Daylight (and Chris Corry's loud argument with a visiting dog) broke the spell of the night and we ate a hearty breakfast in preparation for the morning's activity —a journey along the Upper Cascades. Al though they haven't the majesty and breathtaking height of the Kaieteur Falls, the Cascades are truly beautiful, with the powers of fascination of moving water. Following a lunch of pig-in-a-blanket and crayfish tails, we made a somewhat disappointing hike to Torie's Den, a cave which was sup posed to be a redcoat hideout during the Revolutionary War. The cave was worthy of exploration from a geologist's point of view, but the val ient spelankers in our crew pronounced it too tame, and we made our way back to the waiting vehicles. A short drive brought us to the Lower Cascades (which we approached to the annoyance of the picnicking couples nearby.) We peered timidly over the edge at the rocks and quiet pool one hundred feet below. Temptation overcame us; we rushed down the hill and into the water, stopping only to remove shoes and watches. The smooth rock served handily as a slide, and we played, otter-like, in the icy water until it was time to return to civilization. The writer's pneumonia should be gone in time for the next eagerly-antici pated Biophile trip. Homecoming Slated (Continued from page 1) PRESIDENT'S RECEPTION, DINNER From four to five-thirty, Dr. Hobbs will have a reception in the Board Room of New Garden Hall for the faculty, parents, and alum ni. At five-thirty in the cafeteria, Mr. Lee has planned to hold the annual homecoming dinner. This dinner is informal and children are invited. HOMECOMING DANCE At eight o'clock, the Women's Athletic Association is sponsoring the Annual Homecoming Dance. Moderately slow dance numbers will be featured by Buddy Parker and his orchestra fram eight until eleven-thirty. Bede Walker is in charge of this semi-formal dance. Jean Parker and Robin Tyler are in charge of all homecoming activi ties. I THK PI LOT "] Investigate Pilot's SENIOR PLAN Designed especially for college seniors.

In the Guilford College Bulletin, tennis, volley ball, golf and badminton to name a few are offered . • . but on what? I think that this is a misleading statement. I am astonished at the lackada isical feelings towards Sports on the part of certain administrators at Guilford College. The Admin istration sees to it that we are academically above average in our academic persuits—in the way of new and modern facilities; if we would like to take part in compet itive swimming—there are always the bathtubs. Speaking of tennis courts, it seems to me as if asphalt is fit only for parking cars on. What is wrong with composition courts? too expensive, this would not make a dent in the school's budget. The asphalt is uneven, the balls don't hit properly and it accomodates holes. The courts, in most peoples' opinion, is "poor at best." Lights for the present courts would be an improvement, Night playing is, for some, the only time they have to play tennis.
