Danny Gravas
To Perform
Sunday, Oct. 29, the Coffee House
committee of the College Union, led by
Mary Winslow, will present Danny Gravas
in Founder's basement. The committee
has plans to partition off the far end of
the basement, making an intimate area of
candles, tables, red checkered tablecloths,
and soft lights. The focus, however, will
be on the stage, where Gravas will sing
and play.
Gravas, a folk singer, plays a twelve
string guitar to accompany his Odetta
like songs, such as "House of the Rising
Sun", "C.C. Rider", "Hangman", and
"If I Had My Way". His treatment of
these songs, however, is his own.
He has natural talent in the way of a
four-octave range, and eleven years mus
ical training in classical piano and organ.
He has been known to sing for an hour
and a half without a break. Also, he is
quite willing to sing requests for an en
thusiastic audience.
Gravas will be on campus until Nov. 5.
He will present two shows nightly in the
Coffee House. So everyone who is in
terested should be able to drop by and
hear him.
The Coffee House will be temporarily
housed in Founder's basement. Plans have
been made to move the Coffee House to
its permanent location in the Hut as soon
as the language lab can be moved to Duke
Memorial Hall. The Coffee House Com
mittee will be bringing other acts to the
Guilford campus during the year.
Barber Shop
Forum
On the night of Oct. 19, the second
forum concerning the Imperial Barber
Shop's policy of racial discrimination
met. Attendance was markedly down
from the initial meeting, with fewer
faculty and only 35 students as compared
to nearly sixty the first time. Again no
representation from the barber shop came.
Zack Lowe began the forum by an
nouncing the response to the petition
circulated last week. About two-fifths of
the student body had signed. Bob Wilson
informed everyone that the Imperial Bar
ber Shop had, by phone, once more re
fused to cut the hair of Negroes.
There was considerably more opposit
ion to any united action at this meeting
than at the previous one, and the result
was a heated debate. The topics that
were mentioned ranged from the official
reaction of the administration to the
establishment of a college barber shop.
The only consistency in the discussion
was that every statement was challenged
by a hot reply.
The Reverend Stevens, pastor of Muir's
Chapel Methodist Church, suggested a
face-to-face talk with the barbers, and
this was accepted by the forum. Lowe

Student Faculty Committees
Begin Plans For Year
This year on campus there are five
acting student-faculty committees: Book
store, Building and Grounds, Convocation,
Educational Policies, and Student Affairs.
Students are placed on these committees,
collaborating with the faculty, to help
regulate functions and represent their
colleagues.
The Bookstore Committee, under the
leadership of Dr. Donald Deagon, is re
presented by the treasurers of the MSC
and the WSC, Neill Whitlock and Carolyn
Thomas. It suggests means of operation
for the Bookstore. This year questionaires
are being prepared to be delivered to both
students and the faculty on the materials
which they would like to see added to or
deleted from the Bookstore. Also a study
is being made on the possibilities of get
ting more text books to be distributed
among the students and of returning the
unused ones to their respective companies.
The Building and Grounds Committee
is represented by Janet Ghezzi, feature
editor of the Guilfordian, and Bob Wilson,
president of the Student Legislature. This
committee will suggest additions and im
provements in the physical appearance
and operation of the campus. It will de
termine what is needed in the way of new
buildings and what can be done with the
old ones.
Mr. Shotts is this year's chairman of
the Convocation Committee. Working un
der him are Student Union President Tom
McAlister, WSC representatives Susan Lum
and Tony Brown and seven other vol
untary members from the student body
at large. The Convocation Committee is
responsible for the programs of the morn
ing convocations and the evening fine arts
productions. Organization for this year
began last April by a committee of 25
students who offered to evaluate last
year's convocations and suggest programs
for the '67-68 academic year. The students
felt that there should be more student
participation discussion of controversial
subjects, and a wider range of speakers.
By May, assembly programs were or
ganized. During the summer, the com
mittee was under the auspices of Charles
Hendricks. Upon the return of Mr. Shotts,
the year's convocations were prepared.
The Convocations Committee is divid
ed into various smaller committees. For
each speaker, an individual committee is
assigned to schedule his stay on campus
and is responsible for introducing him to
the student body.
Dr. Burris and Dr. Frederick Crown
field share the co-chairmanship of the Ed
ucational Policies Committee. Haul Red
dick, and Sarah Blitz, elected by the Stu
dent Legislature, are representatives. This
committee involves the maintenance of
the basic policies of the college. It has
previously loosened the basic core cur
riculum and is presently working on a
new statement of attendance. It is in
volved with the development of inter
college relationships here in Greensboro.
The former Counseling and Discipline
Committee is now known as the Student
Affairs Board. E. Kidd Lockhart, chair
man, is assisted by students Mary Love
land, Tim Tufts, and Bob Swain. It is
most concerned with the aspect of coun
seling. An effort is being made to give the
students a thorough understanding of the
purposes of the rules and regulations en
forced on campus. A large percentage of
the committee are faculty members, but
the students play an important part. Their
thoughts and thier guidance to fellow
students are integrated with the older
members' suggestions. The Student Affairs
Board does not have the power to en
force punishment but only makes pro
posals for discipline to the proper auth
orities.
said that anyone wishing to serve on the
committee to meet the barbers should
see him immediately after the forum. It
was decided that if the barbers refused to
reconsider their policy, the committee,
composed of students, administrative of
ficials, and area ministers, would decide
on the next course of action on Oct. 20.

GREENSBORO, N. C. OCTOBER 27, 1967
Washington Demonstration
Climaxes Draft Week
Washington streamed this week with
with the thousands who flocked to the
capitol to raise their voices against the
administration and its war in Vietnam.
It seemed that the gentlemen of the
press who struggled manfully to encom
pass the occasion, or even to inject a little
form into it, remained frustrated the
whole weekend long. The leviathan peace
rally, which filled the grassy, dignified
monument district with an incredible
number of shouting, marching, picketing,
and meditating young people had for
structure only the vague outline of the
Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam,
which seemed in fact overwhelmed by the
thing it had created.
Guilford Admissions
Take New Direction
"Cross-country flavor is essential to
meaningful education," stated Mr. Bruce
Stewart, newly appointed Director of
Admissions at Guilford. The 1961 grad
uate of Guilford went on to express that
"the real meat of education can not be
gained so much from the text book,
library, or classroom, but rather from the
dialogue which develops from your peers."
Stewart emphasized the idea that the
college should not be as interested in what
Guilford can offer its students, but rather
what the students can do for Guilford.
In order to build a better student body he
wants to enlarge it by accepting more
students from the West, Midwest, North
east, and also from the minority races;
urban as well as rural Negroes, American
Indians, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, the Amer
icanized Orientals, and foreigners. If
Guilford were enriched with different
races and religious groups the students
could hear first hand what was happening
elsewhere and what others actually think
of us as Americans according to Stewart.
"The students should demand what
they want, they are paying for it," Stewart
said. If they want a course that is not
offered, they could organize their own.
A well-versed student in the subject
could take charge. If they want changes
they should protest and demand them.
The student must involve himself with
the college, he must be "in it and of it,"
stated Stewart.
Finally Stewart added that he would
like to see the students selling the school!
If a student is from Boston or elsewhere
he should recommend the school to his
friends and encourage them to attend
Guilford. Stewart feels that this could
create a better culturally minded student
body.
Stewart, born in Lyn, Massachusetts,
came to Guilford at the suggestion of a
friend. After majoring in econonomics at
Guilford, he received his Masters degree
in guidance and counseling from Chapel
Hill.
Before coming to Gbilford he taught
American government and history at Page
High School in Greensboro. He also
served on the school counseling staff.
Prior to Oct., Stewart has been Dean
of Student Affairs at the N. C. School
of Performing Arts in Winston Salem.
'Apple, Peaches,
Pumpkin Pie*
TONIGHT
Mobilization monitors, with their blue
armbands, were pitifully outnumbered and
might well have been swallowed up except
for their own valiant efforts to organize
and direct. Attendance figures varied rid
iculously. The city police claimed 50,000
demonstrators, the military slightly less,
the Mobilization people claimed over 200,
000 and the public press wouldn't even
approximate a count. The very amorph
ousness of the rally tended to distort any
body's figures-peace people swarmed all
about the mall and jammed the area from
the State Department offices and the
Washington Monument to the edge of the
Potomac. The police tally of only fifty
thousand, however, is ridiculous and mis
leading. There were over a hundred bussed
from New York state alone, and almost as
many from New Jersey, parked along the
approaches to the Pentagon. There were,
by this reporter's reckoning, between 100-
150,000 in attendance.
Marching twenty or twenty-five abreast
and at a fast walk, it took the whole
congregation from 1:30 to almost 5:30
p.m. to cross Memorial Bridge to the
Arlington side of the river. Washington
gained for two days the population of a
Greensboro-Sized city, by any realistic
estimate.
The program was officially supposed to
divide itself, according to the Mobilizat
ion, into a morning rally before the
Lincoln Memorial and an afternoon march

Student Legislature Report
The Student Legislature met on Mon.,
Oct. 16. Twenty of the twenty-five SL
representatives were present. The four
new members; Jim Garvin, president of
the day students, Peter Fay, freshman
class president, and Pat Hammers and
Terry Gentry, SL representatives from the
freshman class, were introduced to the
group.
Members were reminded of the SL
convocation to be held in December.
A committee of three was named to
come up with a proposal for a "convo"
program by next week. Bill Bradley, who
was selected to serve on the Convocations
Committee with Jack Green, is unable to
undertake this position; a new member
will be chosen to fill this vacancy.
Copies of the new constitution of the
Appeals Board were distributed and the
members were asked to withhold quest
ions until next week's meeting at which
the constitution will be reviewed in de
tail. Several legislatures were asked to re
main after the meeting to work on and
update the constitution.
Bob Wilson, SL president, called for
committee reports. A spokesman for the
Elections committee reported that only
54 percent of the freshman class voted
during their elections. The Financial Com
mittee stated that the SL has about $6OO.
Books are being audited and the exact
figure will be available at a later date.
The senior class made $25 on its car
wash, and has chosen to undertake a mug
selling campaign. The seniors will also
sell blankets with Guilford's official seal
on them for $l2 each.
The Junior class made more than $l3O
on its sale of mums. And on Oct. 31, at
3 p.m. in Armfield Athletic Center the
juniors will challenge the freshmen to a
powder-puff football game. In addition
to the game there will be a half-time
program. The sophomore class has tentav.:
plans for a combo party to be held on
Jan. 13.
Relating freshman activities, Fay said
that the freshmen are working on a few
money projects. (Con - t page 2)
