Campus Liberals Organize SFA
By 808 PRICE
Manx of Guilford's liberal
students have desired to take a
more active part in campus and
community affairs, but have not
felt able to work through
existing campus student
organizations. This year, these
students' interest culminated in
the formation of the "Student
Federation for Action," under
the leadership of Bob Wilson.
Thus far, two meetings have
been held, each attended by 50
to 60 students. At the first
meeting, four committees were
formed to deal with specific
areas of interest. These
committees were Campus
Regulations, led by Michele Van
Gobes, Academic Affairs, led by
Mike Stillwell, Community
Action, led by Vicki WysKynski,
and Organizational Structure of
S.F.A. composed of the leaders
of the other committees.
The aim of S.F.A. is not to
supplant existing campus
organizations, but to supplement
them by providing the
previously missing structure
through which liberal students
can work toward goals of
interest. Bob Wilson, former
president of the Student
Legislature, expressed
dissatisfaction with the
traditional operations of student
government, saying that it
"tends to be conservative . . .
with a high school mentality . . .
'committed to death . . . full of
red tape and out of date." He
does not believe that it responds
to the needs of today's students.
No further action has been
taken by S.F.A. as a whole.
Many members desired to
temporarily redirect their efforts
to the recently held "Time
Out." However, work has
continued through the various
Affairs Committee is exploring

ways in which the college
curriculum can be improved.
Members of the Campus
Regulations Committee were
active in the successful effort to
revise women's dress regulations.
Also, the Community Action
Committee has actively begun
work on a variety of projects. It
has assumed the direction at
Guilford College of "G.U.T.S." a
tutorial service, and is working
toward the reform of the ward
system in Greensboro, open
housing, a lowering of the voting
age.
Although Bob Wilson initially
served as its leader, he now feels
the need to become a "full time
student." Consequently, he will
not have time to remain as
leader. He plans to call another

Folk's Weekend
The Guilford College Union is
sponsoring the College's first
Parent's Weekend. The desire is
to bring parents of many of the
students to the campus "to see
what it is all about."
The parents will be here
Friday afternoon through
Sunday with an active calendar
of events that is intended to
acquaint them with college life.
The Union decided to plan this
event in conjunction with the
Board of Visitors meeting so
many of the activities planned
for one group could also be used
with the other.
As another in a series of
continually expanding Union
activities. Parent's Weekend
seems to be a further a'temnt t"
make Guilford College known in
the area.

Board of Visitors
To Survey Programs
The Guilford College Board
of Trustees has established what
is known as the Board of
Visitors to aid the college in
evaluating its programs. The role
of the new Board is to advise the
administration and trustees and
to recommend changes and
innovations that will improve
the college.
The annual meeting of the
Visitors will be held today and
Saturday. Among the
approximately eighty-five
educational, community and
industrial leaders are Terry
Sanford, former governor of
North Carolina; Dr. William
Friday, president of the
Consolidated University of
North Carolina; Dr. James M.
Godard of the Southern
Regional Education Board; and
Mrs. L. Richardson Preyer, wife
of the newly-elected
Congressman from this district.
These persons are to serve
"on their own initiative, as
ambassadors of good will for
Guilford College .. . "
According to an administration
spokesman, it is hoped that they
"will share news about
Guilford's program with their
friends and business associates."
The Visitors, among whom
are few Quakers and alumni, are
scheduled to meet with various
student groups and faculty
members, attend the Revelers
Club production, audit some
classes, and tour the area. The
"honest approach" is to be used
in order to instigate constructive
criticism from the visitors.

In raising the question of premarital sex on the Guilford
College campus, we encountered expected indipnance.
controversy, and some heated resistance. In general, the
women complied much better in responding to this poll, but
they also offered more heated argument against it. To the
question. "Have you ever had sexual intercourse?" many
responded with "None of your business, "Why the hell should
I tell you?" and various imperative statements.
The men students ignored the poll completely for the most
part, or responded to question one with "Hell, yes!" and
wrote nothing more.
The second question read "If you answered yes to question
one, how old wen? you when you did so?" The response from
the men was so incomplete we could arrive at no figure, but
the average age of the women was 18.5.
To the question, "what state do you live in?" the men
plead ignorance, but the women gave enough answers for us to
estimate that of them are from the South, as compared
to .'sl.7'' from other parts of the country, have had premarital
intercourse.
As is the case in any poll, especially one of a controversial
nature, one must admit to and allow for a certain degree of
error. But aside from this, we still consider this to be an
interesting, if not totally reliable, poll:
Males Females Total
No Premarital Sex 11 195 206
