Kauffman, Bregard Praised
The Guilford College Quakers are now coming down the home
stretch in real fine form. Presently the Quakers are sporting a 19-3
overall record and proclaiming first place in the Carolinas conference.
In their last three encounters Guilford won two and lost one. The two
wins came over Appalachian and Belmont Abby. The loss was a
hard one to take, losing by two points in the last few seconds to
Western Carolina at Western.
The Quakes have a very good chance to win district title again.
This opportunity is due to the fine all-round play of both the starting
five and our bench. But there is one player who has not scored a whole
lot this year. He deserves recognition for his ball handling duties, that
he has taken over so well, and the amazing amount of assists he has
compiled. The ball player I am talking about is Bob Bregard.
Coach Jerry Steele of the Guilford College basketball Quakers
says that "There are a lot of good basketball players over the country,
but there aren't that many winners."
A "winner," according to Coach Steele, "Is a performer who will
pay the necessary price to acquire the necessary skills, condition, and
attitude for winning basketball night after night. He must also pay
the price for becoming a good student and citizen off the court."
The tall coach says that he has a
winner in Bob Bregard. Bregard,
son of Mrs. Agnes Bregard, 1909
West Genesee St., Syracuse, New
York; is playing his second year
with Steele's Quakers, is averaging
13.8 points per game, has pulled
down 52 rebounds, and has a
fantastic 140 assists in 17 games.
"Last year Bob came to us, and
we were wary about his defense.
He had played in offense oriented
basketball, and we knew his shoot
ing and driving were impressive.
Also, he has that rare passing
skill in that he can pass with a
flick of the wrist without extend
ing his arms. He fools the de
fense, and this helps us set up
our scoring plays." In our game
last year, he had eleven assists!
Steele remembers that he expect
ed Bob to come around on de
fense enough to play his sopho
more year, and that he told the
Syracuse lad that to play for him
he had to learn defense. Bregard's
answer: "I'll start for you this
year, Coach." Says Jerry Steele:
"1 told him 1 didn't believe it, but
he did."
He was the lone freshman on
the Quaker team, which advanced
to the NAIA finals in Kansas City
last March. The team won the
NAIA District 26 title by defeat
ing defending champion High
Point, on the wings oi a fantastic
29 point scoring eitort by Bregard.
"Of couse Bob has good nights,
and they usually come in the big
games but he comes through
with consistent good games every
night . . . the mark of a winner.'
The Guilford Coach notes that
Bregard's passing skill is perhaps
his best asset, in spite of his scor
ing ability: "There are a heck of
a lot more good shooters than
good passers around."
"Bob is not the natural athlete.
He has acquired his skills by work
ing the hardest of any athlete 1
have ever coached. He has a lot to
learn yet, and we are hoping he
will grow in leadership and other
phases of the game. He can be
come a great one. He's my type,
Bob Kauffmao 1 - *

by Dennis Abramowitz
and you can quote me."
Jerry Steele, in his fifth year
as Quaker basketball Coach,
played his basketball at Wake
Forest with the great Horace
"Bone s" McKinney. McKinney,
through his friend Paul Seymour,
recommended Bregard to Steele.
"If Mr. Seymour knows of some
more Bob Bregards, and will call
me collect, I won't invite them
down for a conference as I did
Bob. I'll just have him send them
on down with their suit cases."
A fine example of Bregard's
winning attitude was his "taking
over" in the late stages in the
Appalachian game, when big Bob
Kauffman and Pat Moriarty were
sitting on the sidelines with four
fouls. He hit five for six field goal
attempts and was credited with
two assists in a little less than
three minutes.
Kauffman
Guilford College basketball en
thusiasts dread thinking of the
day when Bob Kauffman will not
be trotting nimbly onto the basket
ball court to do battle for Coach
Jerry Steele's Quakers. The 6'B",
248-pound junior from Scarsdale,
N.Y., seems destined to go down
as the greatest basketball player
in Guilford's history.
The Quakers, enjoying their best
season in Guilford College history,
are currently 19-3; and are holding
the top spot in the prestigious
Carolinas Conference at 14-2.
They are not a one man team,
and Bob Kauffman will be the
first to point it out. "I am playing
better because we have a better
team. We have strength inside
and outside, and we have confi
dence in our coaches and one an
other." And, although it is often
the case with super stars v the
*64-'6B period probably won't go
down 'in Guilford basketball an
nals as the "Bob Kauffman era."

Honor Among
Thieves
by Janet Ghezzi
There is a persisting rumor on
campus that an honor code has
invaded the premises. Having in
vestigated the matter thoroughly
I have found no recognizable evi
dence to support diis fact. There
fore, it is any pleasure to inform
you that you can relax and cheat
—no one would think of reporting
you.
Does this seem harsh to you?
If so, stop and think. If you saw
your best friend cheating would
you turn him in? If not then the
Honor Code is a farce —an un
identified dying object.
It is unfortunate that the Honor
Code should be reduced to such
a low level of prestige, and yet it
was inevitable. It required a cer
tain amount of conviction and
strength on the part of the indi
vidual, and such strength is not
cool with the "out' crowd. There
is an honor among thieves which
looks down on stool pigeons.
There is a respect among wise
men for the truth. Which do you
prefer, Lightfingers?
However, the students do have
a point. It is not easy to turn in
a friend or an enemy for that
matter. Silence is a habit which
is hard to break. For years, you
have been told not to rat on your
friends. In grammar school, tattle
tales were not appreciated. They
were told to mind their own busi
ness and not to worry about others,
but this is not grammar school.
Johnny's taking Susie's book is
different from Johnny taking
Susie's grades. College should pre
pare one for the future —for a
worth-while life. An Honor Code
is an institution worthy of respect.
There is nothing old fashioned or
uncool about honesty. It is required
for order and progress. We expect
people to be honest in their deal
ings with us, yet we won't risk
anything to uphold it.
The Honor Code is not con
cerned only with cheating. It is a
statement of policy which should
affect all areas of school life. How
ever, it is most apparent in the
area of cheating. Here is where the
Honor Code really comes to the
test. In the first semester seven
eases were brought before the
Honor Board. Three were con
victed; four were acquitted. Now
it would be nice to think that there
were only three cases of cheating
in the first semester, but we must
face reality. It is possible but not
probable. How many cases do you
know of? Why weren't they re
ported? Perhaps they weren't
caught, but if the Honor Code
really worked they should have
reported themselves. With only
three cases of cheating, this means
that less dian 1 per cent of the
student body cheats. If this is so,
Guilford College is paradise-a
celestial playground inhabited by
saints. " '
So, Lightfingers Louie, face the
facts. Either Guilford is heaven or
someone is cheating on the side.
The Honor Code is no farce. The
idea is there. The challenge is
there. Take it up, stand for some
thing. Don't allow group conform
ity to force you to a life of hy;
pocrisy. Truth is habit-forming
and worthwhile. It won't give you
you cancer, but it will give ypu a
self-respect that no one can: steal,
i Pick that up, Louie.

May Day Features Impressions
by Cheryl Sprinkle
The Impressions, one of the
greatest groups in the "soul" music
field, will be on the Guilford cam
pus in concert on Saturday, May
6. This definite announcement was
made last week by the Social Com
mittee, which took over the plans
at a late date from the W.A.A.
Harmony is the most outstand
ing characteristic featured by this
terrific group. Curtis Mayfield,
writer and lead singer of the Im
pressions, is backed by Fred Cash
and Samuel Gooden to make a
sound that has been widely imi
tated, but never duplicated, in the
recording field.
Some of the biggest hits of the
Impressions are: "People Get
Ready," "Gypsy Woman," "Min
strel and Queen," "Talking About
My Baby," and "I'm So Proud."
They also have a new record out
now called "You Always Hurt Me."
This will be a good show, one
you will all want to see. Sale
of tickets will begin in the near
future at a specified location.
Art Show
"Oh God, I Don't Shoot No Alli
gators in the Head!"
This unusual apostrophe is the
title for one of the assorted art
works being displayed in the Guil
ford Library at present. The col
lection, on loan to the Fine Arts
Club from the Owen Lewis
Galleries of Winston-Salem, was
brought to the campus February
2 and will remain until February
14.
Art Department Chairman James
McMillan organized the exhibit,
which includes abstract paintings;
sculpture; a college composition;
and some indescribable, debat
able "art works." Mr. McMillan
comments that (even if one can
make no sense of the collection)
the works are at least "interesting."
Most of the artists are local, be
ing from the Piedmont. Among
the modern paintings is a canvas
by Mrs. Newsom Williams, wife of
■ a Guilford faculty member.

G. U. T. S
by Lynn Cooper
Future teachers, Sociology maj
ors, Psychology majors, and any
other students who might be in
terested in helping to provide new
educational opportunities to many
culturally deprived children in
Greensboro, try GUTS.
GUTS (The Greensboro United
Tutorial Service) presents an op
portunity to test your own ability.
If you will give just three hours
a week you may help a child find
a new self-image as well as a new
outlook on life by introducing him
to concepts that are different from
his own culture but are a part of
yours. Can you instill motivation
and desire for achievement in a
young child who has never ex
perienced success? Maybe you
can find and connect die miss
ing link between our culture and
his.
The GUTS program at Guilford
is carried out in the Smith Homes
Development. There are about
two hundred students from A&T,
Bennett, and UNG-G working
in three other Federal Housing
Developments. The tutor may
choose whether he tutors one or
two nights a week. Transportation
is provided from the circle in front
of Founders at 6:40 Monday thru
Thursday.
The goal of the program is to
help the child academically and
encourage a search for better op
portunities outside , those intro
duced to him within his own en
vironment.
Will you accept this challenge?
If you are interested in this pro
gram please get in contact with
Angie Ferris, Founders Dormitory
or Tim Snyder, who can be con
tacted by phone at 299-4983.
