18 Million Goal
Capital
Fund
Drive
Guilford College officials are
making final preparation for a
multi-million dollar capital funds
campaign.
An 18 million dollar goal has
been set for the long-range pro
gram, which will begin this fall.
Through these funds, Guilford
administrators anticipate both an
expansion of physical facilities
and an increase in program funds
to be used for scholarships, pro
fessorships, and endowment.
Directing Guilford's campaign
Is Jay Longacre of G. A. Brakely
Co., Inc., of New York.
Extensive preparation for the
campaign includes a feasbllity
study, which assessed Guilford's
needs and potential financial sup
port. As a result of the study,
it was concluded that Guilford
did have the potential to meet
its capital ' needs in a major
fund-raising program, similar
to the type conducted in recent
years at Duke, Haverford, and'
many area colleges.
A capital funds campaign, as
a part of Guilford's long-range
development program, Is one of
many activities, some of which
•are currently In operation, such
as an increasing Loyalty Fund,
expanded public relations pro
gram, and an Improved alumni
joirnal.

The Guilford Student Legis
lature voted overwhelmingly for
the second time Monday, to hold
a limited number of required con
vocations during the academic
year. According to Dan Hulburt,
president of the Legislature,the
convocations would be few in num
ber, and would be called only by
the legislature for the purpose of
giving information of special
events such as elections, or the
President's State of the College
address.
The original bill included a
stipulation that any student who
cut more than two of the convo
cations would not be permitted
to register the following semes
ter. However, a motion by rep
resentative Bob Milan was made
and passed to delete the punish
ment and form a committee to
investigate a lesser penalty.
Earlier in the meeting a mo
tion by Steve Wessells to abolish
required convocations was
defeated 32 to 5. (Pleaste note the
record of each legislator's vote on
this motion in the column below.)
The Convocations bill was
first voted on at the final Legis
lature meeting last year after a
College Union Retreat committee
proposed required convocations
as necessary for communication
between faculty, administrators
and students of Guilford College.

Under Legislature rules, a decis
ion can be reconsidered at the
following meeting.
Debate on the blll.Monday cen
tered on the issue of the effective
ness of intra-campus commun
ication at a required meeting.
Opponents of the bill argued that
forcing students into a meeting
would automatically make them
disinterested, as it had in form
er required convocations. One
observer, John Kuzma, asked
how there could be communica
tion between the faculty and
students if the faculty were not
required to come to the convo
cations.
Those in favor of the bill
argued that students were disin
terested in the past because con
vocations were required every
week and had guest speakers. The
proposed convocations, they
argued would be few in number
and would only concern affairs
of the college. They said that it
would be a good start in campus
communication.
About thirty students came to
observe the First Legislature
meeting of the year and many
participated actively in the
debate. Five students walked \out
of the room before the vote was
taken. Debate lasted for an hour;
only two dissenting votes were
cast.
