Light Look at the
Library
Attention social set. A new chapter is
being added to the games people play.
The name of the game is "Lookin' for
Action" and it takes place in the library.
Said game has been evolving for some
time. It began when people who went to
the library to study got up for a drink and
looked the place over on the way. Then
it became more sophisticated when stu
dents began walking from the lobby,
through the reference room down the
reserve room and them back to studying
A quick trip can be made in about two
minutes. However, these times can vary
depending on how many people you stop
to talk to which could be the object of
the game. It became more complicated
though, when students began making two
or more rounds before sitting down. How
ever, in the past few weeks the trip has
graduated to full varsity status since
students have now been observed walking
into the library,cruseingaround and then
leaving without ever once sitting down to
read. A few inovators have tried going up
in the stacks or in one door and out the
other, which adds tremendously to the
enjoyment, no doubt. And, my spies
predict that future innovators will be
trippin' without shoes of going out one
door, once around the building and then
back in.
If this really catches on maybe it will
spread to the other buildings on campus.
The dorms might be interested. ..

We Want A Live-In
Take a college in the Piedmont regions
amidst the color of a tri-city environment
and place an airport within walking dis
tance and you find the only Quaker
institution of the south.
The week following exams, the college
is closing, but where is everyone going?
Certainly not all the non-Carolinians are
going to invade the airport.
With this in mind, Peter Fay, president
of the Freshman Class, brought the issue
of college closing Jan. 24 through Jan. 29
before student legislature a week ago.
After considerable discussion, there
was general concensus that an individual
student can petition to stay here during
the closing period. The petition is to be
made before exams to Dean Lanier to be
judged on the basis of: 1) economic rea
sons, 2) transportation including distance,
3) academic pursuits.
Letter to Editor
Dear Editor:
As News Chairman, I am pleased to
introduce you to the 1968 Carolina
Symposium to be held March 31 through
April 3, on the topic, "Red China and the
West."
We are contacting you in the hopes
that you will want to participate with us
in the Symposium. Taylor Branch, Chair
man of the Symposium, is extending a
cordial invitation to the students and
faculty of your school to attend the
Symposium in Chapel Hill as all of the
major sessions will be open to the public.
The Symposium will feature William
P. Bundy, Assistant Secretary of State for
far eastern affairs speaking on the Western
view of China. Also featured will be
author Edgar Snow, speaking on Red
China's view of the West. Other speakers
include Han Suyin, Alexander Eckstein
and Franz Schurmann. Negotiations with
further high level European and American
officials are still in progress.
The Symposium will be broadcast live
over statewide educational television net
work.
The Carolina Symposium feels sure
that you will be interested in news con
cerning this event. It will be our pleasure
to co-operate with you both in advance
preparation and news coverage of the
Symposium.
We would appreciate clippings of any
news stories that you print concerning the
Symposium. The clippings should be sent
to: The Carolina Symposium, Post Office
Box 1187, Chapel Hill, N. C.

It might not be wise to draw an
analogy with such a liberal school, but
our all-student organizations show the
same symptom. Teachers must push if
anything dramatic gets done.

THE GUILFORDIAN
Dr. Rembert W. Patrick (Class of 1930),
one of the most distinguished scholars
ever connected with Guilford College,
died in Athens, Georgia, Nov. 17, 1967.
Dr. John K. Mahon, Chairman of the
Department of History of the University
Lanier emphasied that we should dis
courage any students from just hanging
around, but added that the personnel office
will try to provide housing for those
students with legitimate reasons.
This all seems pretty fair to the people
who can walk to the airport in this
weather, but of us on the Guilfordian -
we emphasize that we think that the
dorms should be left open to the students.
If the administration wants to continually
rationalize that the students can't take
care of themselves then they are defeating
a social maturing purpose of college. If
the administration contends that it is
closed for economic reasons, then we
think the students should pay the differ
ence.
We hope this will be reviewed by the
administration, but for the present the
petition is in effect.
SAVE on Season Ticket
According to the survey taken last
Thursday concerning participation in the
social activities, and overwhelming ma
jority of Guilford College Students are
excited about and willing to support the
events scheduled for the coming semester.
To eliminate the problem of having cash
on hand for "big" weekends and also to
give the Guilford student a discount in
admission, a season ticket for a series
program will be sold on Registration Day
and all that week. The price of the ticket
will be five dollars and will cover six
major programs to be held on this campus
including a psychadelic band, a soul band,
a hypnotist, and the Friday night May
Day dance. The cost of the series ticket
will be approximately half that of regular
admission. All Student Union members
will be selling the season tickets. Further
results of the Guilford College Union
survey will be published in the next issue.
GOOD LUCK !!

of Florida, said of him; "No one who has
been associated with the history depart
ment at the University of Florida in the
whole history of that department ... has
ever accumulated as distinguished a record
... as Dr. Patrick."
In his illustrious career he rose to the
ranks of the nation's outstanding histor
ians. He won distinction as a teacher,
administrator, editor, leader in historical
associations, collector of historical material
and as a champion of social justice. His
first book was Jefferson Davis and His
Cabinet and his last was The Reconstruct
ion of the Nation. His Florida Under Five
Flags is now in its fourth printing. It is
said that more copies of this book have
been sold than "any book ever written
about Florida history." His other books
include: The Opinions of the Confederate
Attorney General, The Story of Florida,
The Florida Fiasco, The Fall of Richmond,
and he was co-author of a two-volume
History of the American People.
Dr. Patrick received his doctorate at
the University of North Carolina. He
taught at Meredith College for a short
time. He was at the University of Florida
for more than twenty-five years and was
chairman of the department of history for
five years. In 1966, after retirement from
the University of Florida he became
Director of Research in the Department
of History of the University of Georgia.
While a student at Guilford College he
made an outstanding record in scholarship
and in student activities. He was a member
of the Student Council, winner of the
college oratorical contest, member of the
college debating team, on the college
championship football team. President of
the Student Affairs Board, and Editor of
the Quaker. In addition to all these
achievements he made the honor roll and
in scholastic standing holds third place in
his class.
In 1933, he and Eleanor Bangs were
married. She is a member of the class of
1932. Guilfordians, of their college gene
ration, remember them as "Pat and Eee
Gee." He is survived by his wife and their
three children: Rembert W. Jr., John and
Sharon.
Dr. Patrick's last appearance on the
Guilford College campus was to give the
address in the College Assembly honoring
Dr. Newlin at the time of his retirement.
