Godard Informs Future Of Our Campus Jerry Godard, Associate Professor of Psychology at Guilford College, and Assistant to President Grimsley T. Hobbs, addressed members of the American Association of University Professors at Guilford College last Tuesday afternoon in the Conference Room of the Library on Main Campus. One of the primary topics of discussion impinged upon the future of the Downtown Campus building and its existing facilities. The advantages and disadvantages of the present facilities, as well as an objective look at how the Downtown Campus could function as an Evening College subdivision on the Main Campus, were given careful consideration. Godard managed to incessantly reinforce the belief that "nobody is contemplating a move." Advantages of the present facilities were based on its constant growth and steadily increasing enrollment. The centering of Management and Law Enforcement programs solely on the Downtown Campus also posed distinct advantages. According to Mtxvv Christmas VOLUME I Memorial Fund Because of the late Jan Speas' special affinity for the down town student, the Student Government of the Downtown Campus is conducting a cam paign to raise funds for a special contribution to the Janet Speas Creative Writing Memorial. The Memorial seeks to establish a fund, the proceeds from which will be utilized in assisting a Guilford College student who has distinguished himself in the field of creative writing. Mrs. Speas, a wife, mother, and professional writer when she was not teaching or lending a helping hand to a friend in need, always enjoyed the challenge of presiding over a Downtown class. She liked the diversity of viewpoints and the often start ling vitality brought to the Downtown classes by the wide array of jobs and professions represented on the urban cam pus. She took a particularly personal interest in her students, and her home was always open, with hot coffee on the back burner, for any who had a problem. Current students will soon receive a letter from Student Government President Ron Cruickshank regarding the Downtown Campus campaign. Anyone wishing to make their contribution early may make their check payable to Guilford College, Janet Cox Speas Creative Writing Memorial Fund, and mail them to Guilford College Student Government, P.0.80x 1709, Greensboro, N. C. Godard, however, "the future of the Downtown Campus lies in reacting more imaginatively to Community needs." TTie competition for these needs among varying Piedmont area institutions is very active. In reference to moving and expanding operations on the Main Campus, there were many speculative appraisals. The facilities for classroom buildings and office space would be readily available and could be put to more and better use. A move to Main Campus would provide an opportunity to offer more upper level division courses. Library facilities could expand and be put to better use. And access to Main Campus would be just as convenient as to the Downtown Campus, especially for out-of-town students because of the highway access. There would of course be congestion problems, such as parking, traffic and any other problems incurred whenever you almost double the number of people without expanding the physical availabilities; but, if the problems could be worked out sufficiently, the financial saving UEBAM WO2D FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1971 GREENSBORO, N. C Campaign Drive Gonzales Organizes Voters Late last month, an outstand ingly successful voter registra tion drive took place in Greens boro. Despite the November chill, over 1,400 people lined up to register at booths strategically placed throughout the city. The mastermind behind this effort was Charles Gonzales, the field director for the Youth Citizen- jMHe i? 38 i Ma jbßp Staff Photo Charlie Gonzales ship Fund. The YCF is the Washington based parent organi zation of most of the youth oriented voter registration drives in the country. Charlie is a former president of the Student National Educa tion Association, a graduate of the University of Maryland, and an alumnus of Saul Alinsky's Chicago based organizing school. Charlie's week in Greensboro of the college would be quite handsome. Although the discussion was speculative, it was, nontheless, a necessity. It may not have dispelled any rumors, but it at least made public the fact that studies and careful forethought are being applied to this timely issue. RINGS Fike Welcomes Dignitary It has been a long wait, but the time will soon arrive. Senior class rings can finally be ordered. A representative from the John Roberts Company will take orders for class rings in the Main Hall of the Downtown Campus Wednesday evening, January 12th from six p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Rings can be ordered on the same day at the Main Campus from ten a.m. to four p.m. in the cafeteria. If you plan to get a ring when the representative visits the Urban Campus, contact Jim Hoyng in the Business Office. by Pat Rhodes began with a disappointing regi stration effort on Guilford's main campus. He seemed too occupied to be deterred by the incredible apathy demonstrated by Guilford's Student Govern ment leaders. The rest of the Greensboro community was highly responsive to Charlie's organizing efforts. He achieved, in a matter of days, the full support of the local AFL-CIO, the mayor, the Chamber of Commerce, the Greensboro Youth Council, Board of Elect- 1 want to make this perfectly clear —mumphqrumfumphf' >ta/[ tnoto Jerry Godard explains situation to Danny Hoback Dr. Louis Fike, of Guilford's Political Science Department, was a member of a recent television panel assigned the duty, along with Eugene Sarver of UNC—G, of interviewing Dr. Klaus Duisberg, First Secretary of the West German Embassy in the United States.

He co ordinated the production, dis tribution, and scheduling of tapes and announcements for the media and the design and printing of 25,000 posters. Of course, scores of other people were involved in the effort but its success was due largely to Charlie Gonzales' brief Greens boro visit. The Youth Citizenship Fund was established to encourage (Continued on Page 4) Dr. Duisberg obtained a degree in Law or Jurisprudence from the University of Bonn in 1934 and now serves in a similar capacity as the West German Ambassador. Dr. Fike, who is of German heritage himself, found Duisberg as being very informative and articulate. The basic format of the program was "American-West German Relations during the 1970'5." On the subject of positive reduction of American forces in West Germany, as proposed by Senator Mansfield and others, Dr. Duisberg was found to be more in favor of maintaining the present troop strength for economic reasons. While discussing West Germany's new "Ostpolitik" (Eastern Policy) it was noted as a bridge for better East-West relations, which served the ' national interests of both the Western Democracies and the Soviet Union. Sarver, of UNC—G, inquired of Dr. Duisberg, as to whether any possible alliance would be formed between West Germany and the Red Chinese which could gain concessions from Soviet powers. Dr. Duisberg, however, did not consider this feasible, nor foreseeable in the near future. During more informal discussions, Dr. Fike inquired at great length about the possibility of a Nazi revival and the impetus of the neo-Nazi movement. The fact that Dr. Fike was selected for this television program is a fine tribute to a top Political Scientist.
