Friday, February 7, 1969 Two Investigate Manpower By CATHY LOWDERMILK As part of their independent study in the Richardson Program, Nita French and Steve Pruitt, two Guilford College freshmen, are participating in a pilot study sponsored by the Southern Regional Education Board. Nita and Steve, along with representatives from Davidson College, Mars Hill College, UNC-CH, and ECU, have been presented with three questions for which they are to find answers: (1) what sort of internships for college students presently exist in the Greensboro area? (2) what are the other possible internships which could be created? (3) is there enough student interest to make an internship program worthwhile? Quaker Pulse (Continued from page 2) good-old-fashioned, outraged-citizen, indignant-nature-lover screaming that did the trick. And judging from the caustic letters and editorials printed in this paper, Slain Students To Be Honored A & T State University will be the scene Saturday for an all-day memorial service for three students who were shot last February on their all-Black campus of South Carolina State College, Orangeburg. Cebeland Sellers, who was then a field director for the Student Non-violence Co-ordinating Committee, will be speaker for the event.

COMPLIMENTS OF PEPSI-COLA THE SUIT OUTLET OPERATED BY THE BUD HEISE FAMILY Clothes for the college man —Save up to 50% 2312 E. BESSEMER To establish what opportunities presently exist for students, Nita and Steve have obtained information from the five colleges in the Greensboro area. In order to determine whether more internships are possible, the two freshmen have contacted social agencies and retail manufacturing corporations in Greensboro. Tfiey have also met with representatives from the Greensboro city schools, the local hospitals, and from the city government's Community Relations department. One-fifth of the full-time students have been interviewed by Steve and Nita in order that the two might have some statistics on student reaction to the idea of an internship program. The Guilford students are extremely adept at complaint. Think about it, Quakers. Remember how mad you got in the sixth grade when your teacher told you about all the buffalo the railroad men slaughtered back in the old days, just so the trains wouldn't have to slow down? Think of that indignation multiplied a thousandfold, and you will have something like the bitterness our posterity will feel toward us when they must look in a book to see a heron or a bear, when they must get their outdoors from some carefully fenced in little acre of grass and trees, when the only fish they'll ever see were raised in a sterile tank. They may even have to fight one another for the bare necessities of non-toxic air and pure water. Think about it. If we don't do something now, the guilt will be all ours. And our grandchildren will never forgive us.

CY 9-0263 W. Market St. The Guilfordian interviews last approximately twenty minutes, during which time the students give their reactions and relate their summer plans and special abilities. On February 15, those students who have been working for the SREB will meet to establish the most feasible methods for finding student manpower and job placement in North Carolina. If the pilot study affords the SREB with the information it needs, a summer internship program will be established in North Carolina. College juniors and seniors and graduate students will work for the SREB in association with agencies in their fields of interest or majors. Each participant will research a problem defined by himself with the help of a representative from the agency with which he is working. At the end of twelve weeks, the student will submit a written report of his findings and will be paid for his work by the Southern Regional Education Board. Four Go To (JSSPA Conf. The United States Student Press Association will hold its annual College Editor's Conference at the Shoreham Hotel, Washington, D.C., February 13-16. Members of The Guilfordian attending this conference include Craig Chapman, Emily Hedrick, Phil Edgerton, and Bob Price. Through the perspective of "The Economics of Social Disorder", the conference will focus on a number of significant social issues facing our society. Many prominent speakers will be presented, including J.K. Galbraith, Julian Bond, Paul Samuelson, and Walter Lippman. Profile Of A Working Man By RANKIN WHITTINGTON On November 17, 1945, a man worked the first day on his new job as a member of the maintenance crew of a school. He was soon given the title of "fireman" in the boiler room It was his task to stoke the furnace. His hours were 5:30 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. His work week was Monday through Sunday. His pay was 35 cents an hour. The years passed. The school built a new boiler room with automatic stokers. The man became master of the big new plant and learned how to maintain and repair all the machinery. In 1962, the man's doctor told him he should ease his work load or it would kill him. In the previous 17 years of 7-day work week, he had missed a total of 3 months because of sickness or vacation. The man's title changed to "day fireman" and he began working a 40 hour week. He still works at that school and the "in" part of his time card reads like "5:30 a.m., 5:29 a.m., 5:30 p.m.". His pay is about $1.65 an hour.
