§ I ATTEND THE DRUG SYMPOSIUM | Vol. LIV Frazier Makes Charges Robert H. Frazier, former chairman of the Guilford College Board of Trustees, has charged that "changes in the purposes of Guilford College ... are now being undertaken." Frazier made the charge in a February 13 let ter to THE GUILFORD IAN. Frazier also charged that "taking non - Quakers on the Board of Trustees would break the contractual provision .. . which was inserted in the charter by act of the North Carolina General Assembly when Guil ford.became a college." In addition Frazifer pointed out that in accepting Federal funds used in the renovation of Duke Memorial Hall the college had forfeited the right to hold re ligious services in the hall. Frazier's letter was reported ly prompted by an article in the February 9, 1970 issue of THE GUILFORDIAN which reported that Frazier was boycotting trus tee board meetings and asking prominent Greensboro residents to not contribute to the college's fund raising drive. The article cited tfce pol icies of Guilford's present administrators, the decision of the college to accept federal funds, and the decision of the Board to enlarge the Board of Trustees to include non-Quak ers as the primary reasons for Frazier's inactivity. After F razier assumed an in active role, his duties were as sumed by vice-chairman Edwin Brown of Murfreesboro. Brown was elected permanent chairman at the October quarterly trustee meeting. Last spring Frazier drew widespread criticism from stu dents and faculty members after THE GUILFORDIAN publicized his defense of slumlord W. W. Horton. Frazier, a Greensboro lawyer and former mayor, was first e lected chairman of Guilford's Board of Trustees in 1950. The text of Frazier's letter to THE GUILFORDIAN is pub lished on page 2. \ fji ONE COACH TAKES TIME OUT FROM THE STUDENT-FACULTY BASKETBALL GAME TO 'GIVE HER TEAM A PEP TALK FOR THE COMING QUARTER photo by Willson TV Quilfortocm Three Seminars Abroad Set sP&SW£*'*~' " CLAUDE SHOTTS, OFF-CAMPUS SEMINARS COORDINATOR Activists Converge At Guilford Five students actively con cerned and involved with societal and college educational reform visit Guilford this week, As speakers for the Conference of Student Leaders Wednesday and Thursday, they will hold seminars and discussion groups, visit some classes, eat in the cafeteria with students, and sleep in the New Men's dorm.
