PRINTS MAGAZINE The first interracially owned and staffed magainze company has been formed to produce Equal opportunity, a new maga zine for minority college stu dents seeking career opportun ities after graduation. John Miller 111, who is white, is the President of the Equal Opportunity Publications, Inc. publishers of EQUAL OPPOR TUNITY, and Alfred Duckett, who is black, is Vice President and Editorial Director. Both have rich backgrounds in the publishing fields. "By being interracially owned and staffed," said Mr. Miller and Mr. Duckett in a joint statement, "the magazine will be offering the best possi ble mix of ideas and reactions covering one of today's most volatile socio-economic prob lems—black man in the pre dominantly white bussiness world." The annual magazine, due December 1969, has these major objectives: 1. To build confidence for its readers in truly being accepted In the business world by offer ing them strong editorial content covering job opportunities from every conceivable angle with articles by prominent black and white authors and experts. 2. To offer a directory of corporation profiles of com panies who are actively seek ing minority college students for executive training positions. Over 200,000 black college students will have acces to EQUAL OPPORTUNITY through more than 2,000 outlets includ ing 1,000 college placement offices, bookstores, libraries and other meaningful outlets. In hailing the significance of the new magazine, Dr. Jerome H. Holland, renowned President of Hampton Institute, a pre dominantly black college, stated: "I feel that the publication EQUAL OPPORTUNITY will serve a very important role in bringing to the attention of black youth the increasing num ber of employment opportuni ties. This approach can heip substantially to overcome the communications gap which has always placed the disadvantaged in an unfavorable position. Hamilton Institutes New Curriculum Clinton, N. Y. (I.P.)— Ham ilton College will institute a "4-1-4" curriculum this month which, among other things, eliminates most pre scribed course requirements and replaces them with a strong faculty advising system de signed to give a student far greater responsibility for his own education. The new plan cuts from five to four the number of courses a student must take each se mester and eliminates the session between semesters by replacing it with a month-long Winter Study Program. It also establishes a 20- m ember Board of Faculty Advisors which will advise all entering students until th e spring of their sophomore year when they determine their ma jor areas of study. According to History Pro fessor Charles C. Adler, Jr., chairman of the Committee on Academic Policy, the faculty group devised the new program, "The richer the college, the readier it is, in one perspective, to meet the chal lenge. Yet the smaller institu tion can count on a reserve of strength which is human rather than jistitutional or material. This strength consists in th e fact that in the liberal arts col lege the human personality is the focus of all educational effort. "The committee oolieves its recommendations exploit this strength and contain the promise of sustaining and in creasing it for the future". As an example, he said that in a four-course program the teacher should, in general, THE GUILFORDIAN GUTS Initiates By TORI POTTS According to thought, college students should not live in an Ivory tower for four years but should become Involved In community and world affairs. Students at Guilford College are being given a chance to become active In the community. The chance is a program called GUTS (Greens boro United Tutorial Service). GUTS has been In existence for a number of years but this year its programs 'have been expanded. It needs students with a wide variety of inter ests and talents. There is a tutoring program for under privileged Negro children in the east White Oak section of Greensboro. Last year about 15 students tutored there on a regular basis and several more tutored irregularly. This year, instead of just helping students with their homework, GUTS is teaching courses in remedial reading and math. As a result, GUTS needs tutors on Tuesday and Thursday nights from about 7 o'clock to 8:30. Transporta tion will be provided if you are Interested but do not have a ride. GUTS is also trying to pro vide music and physical educa tion teachers for Florence Ele mentary School. The school is an ungraded elementary school for first through sixth grades. This year the school added a kindergarten program, so they could not afford music and rec reation instructors. If anyone is interested in teaching music, art or recreation during school, "have at once fewer students and more encounters with the challenge of learning. There is some reason to hope that while the work may not be less, all things considered, It will be more productive in terms of the real interests met." Dr. Adler described the board of Advisers as the key stone of the curricular revision. Individual advisers, who will deal with and assist in resolving problems which may arise dur ing a student's first two years of studies, will not be able to order or direct a student to take specific courses; advisers will, however, be charged with plan ning an academic program best suited to a student's Inter ests and needs. Law School Testing Slated The Law School Admission Text, required of candidates for admission to most American Law Schools, will be given a t more than 250 centers through out the nation on November 8, 1969, Februrary 14, 1970, April 11, 1970, and July 25, 1970. The test, which is administered by the Educational Testing Service, was taken last year by more than 58,000 candidates whose scores were sent to more than 165 law schools. ETS advises candidates to make separate applications to each law school of their choice, and to ascertain from each whether it requires the Law School Admission Test. Since many law schools select their freshmen classes in the spring preceding entrance, candidates for admission to next year's classes are advised to take after school or at night, they should contact GUTS. For those who would rather teach small children, New Gar den Church has a bay Care Center. There IS a scheduled program from 9-12 o'clock and 1-3 o'clock. There Is a baby sitting service from 3 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. They especially need people from 3 till 5 o'clock. You can work for one hour or longer, depending on your own schedule. There is another project in the East White Oak area called GROUPS. Last year Linda Rogers, of Guilford Col lege, organized a group of five seventh grade girls. They called themselves the Invaders and proceeded to invade every part of Greensboro. They went to art shows and museums, visited the library, rode bicycles and vaded the Guilford campus. Low Funds Plague NSA EL PASO, Tex. (CPS)—The National Student Association, faced with threatening financial indebtedness, has opted to fol low the latest trends in student government independence - towards service corporations and self-sustaining programs. Potentially controversial projects have affected NSA's ability to getfederal government and foundation grants this past year. Anti-racism work, drug studies and student legal rights are among the programs now sought by members of the association, but a NSA National Supervisory Board report states, "These foundations, cautious In the past, are even more so today as result of in vestigations and pending legis lation by congressional commit tees." either the November or the Feb rurary test. The morning session of the Law School Admission Test measures the ability to us e language and to think logically. The afternoon session includes measures of writing ability and general background. A "Bulle tin of Information" including sample questions and registra tion information, and a regis tration form should be obtained seven weeks In advance of a testing date from Law School admission Test, Box 944, Education Testing Service, Princeton, N. J. 08540. Regis tration forms and fees must reach ETS at least three weeks before the desired test ad ministration date. Registration forms may be obtained at the Dean of Stu dents' Office, or from John Grice or A. R. Stoesen. Friday, September 19,1969 They had a good time and the Idea caught on. During the sum mer, a lot of groups like the Invaders got organized. They want to continue this winter but they need leaders. Any stu dent can lead a group of either boys or girls of any age. The groups can be of any size, and can meet at the discretion of the student leader. There are posters In all of the dorms which have application cards with them. If you are Interested in any of the GUTS programs, fill out a card and leave it on the mail stick in Founders for Linda Rogers by September 22, 1969. You can work once a month, once a week, or more often, but you must work at a regular time and place scheduled In advance. It's a real opportunity for those who want to get involved In the life of their community. The office of Economic Op portunity, also a major source of program funds, tightened its belt in 1968-69 with an eye to avoiding subsidies to "radical forces." This past year, these forces have included NSA staff members in a Tutorial Assis tance Center and the Pennsyl vania Project, an attempt to organize students to become In volved in the war on poverty. Deficit spending has been approved within NSA since large amounts of secret monies re ceived from the CIA were cut-off by the association in 1967. According to last year's NSA President Bob Powell, this now puts the association somewhere near $120,000 in debt for its activities over the past several years. In addition, two special per iodicals published by NSA have become self-supporting. The College Law Building and the Drug Law Bulletin are expected next year to contribute funds to their respective pro grams. The newly-elected Executive Vice-President of the associa tion, Jim Sutton hopes to clean up the administrative waste of money prevalant in the last year. He also wants to add a consultation service which would provide local student gov ernments with help in develop ing cooperative students projects on their campuses, with a low, percentage kickback to NSA. In the end. it will all depend on the resources, financial and human, the association is able to come up with in the very near future: One NSA member said that if $25,000 isn't raised with in the next few weeks, then NSA could go bankrupt.
