PAGE 4 Piper Down the Drain by Bob Forman, editor, The Piper So you're wondering what happened to the Piper are you? It's a pretty long story, and a pretty good lie. First, however, there might be a few of you (students who have been at Guilford for less than five years, some college professors, the cafeteria staff, delivery, a few janitors, a partridge, and a college president) who do not have any idea of what the Piper is. Let me make myself perfectly clear from the start; we have nothing to do with smoking illicits. Not by any stretch of the imagination. The Piper is the literary magazine of Guilford and we have hopes of going to print. This may not seem like such hot potatoes to some of you, but consider our history ... Reuben Sano, the first editor of the Piper, was a quick man with the innuendo. Word had it IRC Gets Office; Model UN's Held Vicki M. Curby, advisor to the International Relations Club has announced the opening of an IRC office in Cox 211.

Vegetarians Meet On Monday, November 1, a group of vegetarians met in the College Union Lounge to discuss some of their concerns as to providing a proper and more varied diet for them at Guilford College. Suggestions of foods which could be added to the Food Menu included wild or brown rice, Granola, wheat germ, cheese omelets, rice curry, soy beans, lentals, black eye peas, macaroni and cheese without ham, fruits, nuts, meatless pizza, etc. They wished to have items on the menu which woyld please the average eater and would also benefit them. The vegetarians also asked The infirmary wants M Ji your medical form! m 0 M Please bring them by and meet the new staff, too!

Flu Shots now available for $ 1.00 that he was one of the cleverest people in the world, and had he ever gotten his first issue out, his name, would be world reknown. Unfortunately a tragedy occured. Just as so many of us today are creatures of habit, so too did Reuben have his fixed ways. Every morning after eating breakfast Reuben would sit on his toilet and meditate for two hours and 23 minutes. This was not looked upon too happily by his suite mates who had to share the facilities. One day they played a trick on ole Reuben—they devilishly undid the bolts on the toilet seat so that when Reuben sat down to meditate, the seat collapsed, and Reuben was lost to the watery abyss. Reuben Sano on December 7, 1942 disappeared from Guilford College. Apparently on he fateful day he was making last editorial notes on his soon 11-13. Cost is $15.00 per delegate plus housing.

There is no limit on size of delegation. that arrangements be made for them to have access to cafeteria facilities or other cooking facilities on campus. The use of Mary Hobbs dining hall during weekends was suggested, as well as the use of the cafeteria at some time when it is not regularly in use. The idea of a co-op for buying vegetarian food products as well as natural or health foods was discussed. A second meeting on these concerns will be held at 6:00 Monday, November Bth. Cafeteria manager Ed Fisherwill be there to discuss particular problems pertaining to the Food Service. THE GUILFORDIAN to be released first issue of the Piper. But there is a bright side to our Reuben Sano story. After his "dropping out," he went into the toilet unclogging business, and today he is making a nice fo u r-ca r-garage-living as president of REUBENFLUSH. The Piper has never really gotten over the loss of Reuben. The answer to the question "will there be a Piper this year" has always been pretty much in the air (or under water). The new editors this year are asking for contributions. If you have written, found, stolen, borrowed, copied, or otherwise come into possession of anything that resembles original script, we'd like to look at it. You can submit to Bob Forman (your writings that is) in room C 212 1968 dorm (tel. no. 294-0195, or Jerry Clawges, house five, Fertile Flats (Frazier Apts.)(tel. no. 294-2296). Racism in Housekeeping (Continued from Page 3) us." This policy is sickening anywhere but even more so at a Quaker college. We, Blacks and Whites of the Housekeeping Department request that we be treated as fellow humans with all the rights, respect and dignity that we deserve. There are 4 C.O.'s working full time for the Housekeeping Department. Each of us when we came here for initial interviews were led to believe that eventually we would get a job working with audio-visual aids and in the print shop. Each of us was placed in the Housekeeping Department "only temporarily while arrangements could be made." We were sold a job that was never meant to be given to us to induce us to come here to work. In short, we were lied to. We all were interviewed by the assistant business manager. We call for an end to this deception of C.O.'s at a Quaker college. The assistant business manager has consistently refused to discuss reasonable policy changes with us. Several weeks ago we tried to eliminate Walk For Development Volunteers are urgently needed to assist in the planning and operation of Greensboro's first International Walk for Development, according to Nancy Thomas, a Guilford Senior who is co-coordinating the walk. The walk is a method of raising funds to support domestic and overseas projects that have been selected by the local organizing committee. The first Greensboro walk will be held the weekend of March 25-26, 1972, but the planning for it is beginning right now. There will be a meeting of the organizers of the walk on Monday, November 8, at 5:15 p.m. in the small dining room of the cafeteria. Committees for the walk which need members are: Projects, Public Awareness and Education, Public Relations, Youth Group Involvement, Schools and Colleges, Finance, Adult Involvement, and Mechanics. Photo by Clawges working on Sunday mornings for three reasons. First, our presence here on Sundays is pointless. Two people working two hours can scarcely make a dent in the cans and bottles of the night before. Second, most of us go to church on Sunday. For those of us with families coming here forces us to rush and hurry so much that it interferes. Third, being here means that some of us have no full day away from Guilford College at all. We requested a meeting with the assistant business manager and it was scheduled for 2 days after our request. Then it was delayed over and over again. Finally 2 weeks later with the meeting scheduled for 12 o'clock he showed up at 8 when myself and another C.O. couldn't be present. When told of our absence he stated rather bluntly that we really didn't matter anyway. He listened to what was said but didn't hear it, refused to discuss it intelligently, and impatiently left. Students Rip Off Fac Despite what was termed as a valiant effort on the part of the faculty, the Guilford College students rose up last Saturday and defeated their opposition 3-2 to take a 2-0 lead in the series of soccer games staged by the union. Fielding ten healthy people and one sick, the faculty game from behind to throw a scare into the students, who also won last spring by the 3-2 margin. Trailing 0-1, the professors, etc., tied it up, then went ahead 2-1 on what one of their members described as some 'well executed plays.' Kirk Russell, acting as spokesman for the faculty, said his team then let up a little to let the students catch up, which they did. They also scored another goal and won the game. Charlie Sewell, a'bona fide' soccer player, manned the PA at the football field and kept a Don Johnson's COLLEGE 1 HR. CLEANERS One day service on cleaning and shirts.

Another example of this occurred last winter. During student breaks heat is shut off in all buildings. We must stay to clean them while students are gone. After a day or so those buildings are as cold inside as outside. There is also no hot water. After a day or two of working with cold water in a cold building we requested heat in the buildings. After a lot of "soul searching" on the administration's part they decided to put heat in the buildings early in the mornings, we were told. It was completely gone by the time we got to work. We want a voice in the making of policies that affect us. We want to discuss this policy with someone who treats us as equals, who is willing to change if those requested changes are reasonable. We want to be human beings. Justice in Amerika begins at home. fairly good crowd of spectators informed as to what was going on. So, with the students holding a fairly secure lead in the series, the faculty announced that in next springs repeat match, there may be a change, as they have decided the students have enough of an edge by now. The date and time of the game next spring will be announced as soon as it is decided on. Best Wishes From CAROLINA CAMERA CENTER 121 W. Market & Summit Shopping Center
