Gregory In Art Series
Dick Gregory, comedian,
scheduled to speak in Dana
Auditorium at 8 o'clock
October 8 spends about 98
percent of his time on college
campuses because he feels
tliat "the fate and destiny of
America depends on the
young--the most morally
dedicated, committed group of
young people that have ever
lived in tne history of this
country. Bar none."
Gregory, himself turned
several > ears ago from a
lucrative ("my money was
respected and I was only
tclerafed") career in television
and night clubs to become
totally active in the civil
rights movement. Since then
this participation has included
his Peace and Freedom
candidacy for president ,in the
19 68 elections. He has
"always believed that the
nation's highest office should
represent life's highest
purpose-singular and complete
devotion to serving one's
fellow man."
Of Gregory's Popy Records
release "Dick Gregory: The
Xight Side: The Dark side"
Lindsay Patterson, editor of
** Anthology of American
Negro in the Theatre" has
written: "It is a masterpiece;
the most lucid, forceful and
witty discourse" about racism
in America. . not a harrangue
but the king of plain honest
talk that black people have
been engaging in for years
and white people have been
ignoring."
Gregory appeals for
continued support in solving
"the number one problem in
this country; moral polution."
From his record on the
generation gap: "The
establishment lies to you
twenty four hours a day and
then- after you catch us, we
say it's a generation gap. It's
a moral gap."
On the discovery of
America: "How can you
discover something that's
being used by somebody
else?' *
On a hypothetical bill to
send pets to fight in
Vietnam: "1 don't have to
tell you how much hell your
Four Arrested
Four Guilford College
oludents were arrested on
September 28 by members of
the Greensboro Vice Squad
and were charged with
possession of marijuana.
The arrest occurred at
approximately 2:30 AM in an
appartment on 813 South
Elm Street in Greensboro.
The four Guilford students
along with two former
Guilford students were taken
to the city jail while police
searched the apartment.
Bail and trial dates were
set the next morning. Ranging
rom SSOO to SISOO, bail was
met on all four Guilford
students the same day. Court
dates were set for October
27th.
According to the
Pathfinder, page 14, if these
students are found guilty in
civil court of possession of
marijuana, they may be subject
to disciplinary action if the
SAC deems that such action
would be in the best interest
of the college community.

On White history: "You

Hobbs Discusses Athletics
President Hobbs meet with
faculty to discuss current
concerns in athletics at
Guilford at the first meeting
of the American Association
of University Professors
Wednesday, Sept. 30, 4:30
p.m.
After a brief presentation
of the history of the athletic
program and a statement of
nis personal attitude toward
the value of competitive
sports, Hobbs opened the
floor for comments.
In his opening remarks,
Hobbs stressed the "important
and good influence" that
intercollegiate athletics have
had on the college through
years.
The athletic program has
and $2,950 for married
Fellows, plus tuition and fees.
Dependency allowances are
available. Financial need is
not a condition for
consideration.
Danforth Fellows may hold
certain other fellowships such
as Ford, Fulbright, National

Law Tests To Be Given
The Law School Admission
Test, required of candidates
for admission to most
American law schools, will be
g'ven on October 17, 1970,
ecember 19, 1970, February
13, 1971, April 10, 1971,
and July 31, 1971.
Candidates for the test
should secure a copy of the
Bulletin of Information, which
includes the LS AT
Registration Form and sample
questions. The Registration
firoduced "a stimulating and
ively climate on campus,"
Hobbs said. "Athletics teach
self-denial and discipline . . .
the will to win-the right
mental set."
Hobbs emphasized that
these values are "implicit in
any athletic program but
heightened in intercollegiate
competition."
After establishing the value
of athletics, he set forth two
assumptions. 1) "We should
be genuinely competitive." 2)
"We should belong to some
conference." He enumerated
the benefits of conference
affiliation. A conference sets
organization, limits
grants-in-aid, regulates
pre-season practice, sets
qualifications of eligibility,
provides for regular
scheduling, and offers
post-season final
championships. According to
Hobbs, the only conference
open to Guilford that offers a
full program is the Carolinas
Conference.
Hobbs assured the faculty
that talks on the
establishment of a new
conference would continue. In
this new conference, no
school would have
grants-in-aid set aside
exclusively for athletes.
Schools currently interested in
such a conference are
Washington and Lee and
Johns Ilopkins.
Athletic Funds
Hobbs told the faculty that
gifts of $41,000 annually are
earmarked by the donors
especially for the .athletic
program.
Also, $50,000 annually come
from the sale of tickets and
programs and from student
fees. Hobbs later admitted
that, in spite of this $91,000,
the athletic program operates

at a net loss of SIOO,OOO to
$170,000 annually.
Although the Carolinas
Conference allows thirty-seven
full scholarships, Guilford
College uses the amount of
thirty-five full scholarships for
partial grants-in-aid to
numerous athletes. This
amount is forty per cent of
all scholarship funds. The
recipients represent three
percent of the student body.
Hobbs explained that a
Eoal of four million dollars
as now been set as part of
the Challenge of the Seventies
Campaign to establish an
endowment fund to be used
solely for academic
scholarships. This would offset
the apparent discrepancy
between scholarships and
athletic grants-in-aid.
Heatedjres|>onse
Faculty responses to
Hobbs' presentation were
decidely negative. Several
voiced concern that the
sizeable amount devoted to
the athletic program indicates
that "our priorities are
definitely not academically
oriented," in the words of
one faculty member.
Another teacher stated that
this problem "is roughly
analogous with the arms race.
It's continually escalating.
We've got it and we don t
know what to do with it."
Solutions to the problem
suggested by the faculty
members included "total
unilateral withdrawal" from
athletics, discontinuation of
the football program with
extension of the basketball
program, reduction of the
level of participation in
intercollegiate athletics, and
formation of a new
conference.
Dr. Appenzeller, Director
of Athletics, reminded the
faculty that Dr. Hobbs had
tried on numerous occasions
to convince the members of
the Carolinas Conference to
limit further the total amount
of grants-in-aid and to raise
the academic standard for
athletic eligibility.
