Price named . . .
New Post Created
The Guilfordian has recently
moved to broaden its scope with
the inclusion of topics related to
the community, rather than
strictly campus issues. To handle
this new emphasis, Bob Price, a
sophomore from Lincolnton,
N.C., has been named to the
post of Community Editor.
According to Craig Chapman,
editor of The Guilfordian, the
post is "designed to bring in
more news and features on
community-wide issues and to
broaden the viewpoint of The
Guilfordian." Price further
explained the goal of the new
post, saying, "We hope to
strengthen The Guilfordian's
coverage of off-campus events
that are of interest to Guilford
students. This coverage will
enable us to contribute to the
anticipated intercollegiate news
service."
This intercollegiate news
service, planned by the area
colleges, but recently bogged
down, will be instigated by a
new member of the community
staff, Abbv Moore. Miss Moore
will attempt to coordinate this
new service to provide for better
news and feature interchange
among Greensboro's colleges.
Other new members of the
community staff are Vickie
Wyszynski, Cathy Lowdermilk,
and Phil Sanders.
Gargling Or
Drinking?
By CLAIRE FERGUSON
Are you drinking of
knowledge or are you just
gargling?
If you are gargling like most
students here then perhaps the
spring symposium will interest
you. The subject is
"Innovational Education in a
Time of Social Change" and the
aim is to see how we can make
our education more meaningful.
Specifically, the focus is on
the student's individual
responsibility toward his
education and the changes he
can initiate.
Nevitt Sanford, of Stanford
University, one of the top
educators in the country, will be
the introductory speaker on the
first day of the symposium,
April 9. Following him, Fred
Newman, of the Encounter
House, a free university in New
York, will speak on the topic of
"student responsibility."
A third speaker, Bill Sparks,
pastor of New York's Christ
Presbyterian Church, will work
with group sensitivity
experiences.
Dean Jacques Barzun of
Columbia University may also
possibly come to participate in
the program.
During the symposium, which
will be held from April 9
through 11, there will be
educational games and seminars
relating to the speakers.

Turn On With "Hair "!
By EMILY HEDRICK
This review is for the benefit
of those who haven't seen
"Hair" in the flesh—all of it!
Yes, dear friends, they DO
strip right there on the
stage .. . completely and
uninhibitedly.
Now that we've dispensed
with the unimportant trifles, let
me say that "Hair" was the best
musical I've ever seen staged
anywhere. Viva la difference!
Not only is it thoroughly
entertaining, but it raises some
pretty deep, contemporary
questions, such as how one
retains one's identity in a society
which stresses conformity. The
primary issue takes the form of
draft-resistence, as a result.
When the lead character,
Claude, gives in to his country's
dictates, he loses his capacity for
greatness and becomes
metaphorically invisible.
Meanwhile, "Hair's" cast
frolics through some of the most
delightful songs I've ever heard,
such as "Sodomy", "I Got
Life", "My Conviction", "Black
Boys" and "White Boys," sung
by white girls and black girls,
respectively; and "Good
Morning, Starshine." The RCA
Victor recording is well worth a
listen-to; I guarantee full
enjoyment.
The use of the non-stage was
very effective, I thought, in
producing the play. The
actor-hippies wandered in and
out of the audience freely. As a
matter of fact, they do
everything freely—with members
of the same or opposite gender.
If you embarass easily, I don't
recommend seeing the musical.
But if you like seeing Society
hit below the belt, "Hair" is for
you: everything from LBJ to air
pollution, maidenhood to the
flag is stabbed at. I can't begin
to describe it, as a matter of
fact.
"Hair" is so full of "life,
Friday, February 7, 1969
freedom, happiness" that its
message is contagious. It's love,
it's life, it's a live be-in!

Result of Student 'Requests
Additional Security ..
Measures Taken
By PAT ANDREW
Stolen hubcaps, broken radio
antennas, and frequent
burgularv scares have resulted in
a stepping-up of campus
security.
Acting on a proposal
sponsored by the student
legislature, the Administrative
Council approved recently a
request for additional protection
on the Guilford campus.
According to assistant
business manager Jim Newlin,
the new protection will
accomplish two main objectives:
to give additional coverage to
residence halls during and after
closing hours and to supplement
protection of student parking
areas.
The new proposal extends the
number of hours the agents are
on duty and the number of
agents on campus at a given
time. It calls for two agents to
be on active duty during peak
periods, and especially during
the closing hours at women's
residence halls.
A new emergency alert system
has also been initiated. By
calling the emergency number.
