Take Part In A
Spring Celebration
by Dee Dee Baynham
Under the auspices of the
drama department, Nellie Sue
Harper is creating a play, a
Celebration of Spring, as an
independent study. She feels
that there are various and
sundry talents at Guilford
that she would like to see ex
pressed. These are the talents
that have been hidden away
in dorm rooms.
This play incororates sing
ing, dancing, acting, musical
instruments, pageantry and a
big feast. The theme of the
play is centered around fic
tional characters who are cele
brating the fall moon eve. It
takes place in the court of the
Elfin King. Satyrs (half goat
half men), hnonds, and var
ious other-worldly creatures
entertain the court and them
selves. The play will not only
occur on stage but through
out the audience, encouraging
the audience to become part
of the celebration spirit.
There will be guitar, re
corder, flute, dulcimer, wash
tub bass, zither, kazoo, drums,
spoons, and other fine instru
ments. Several outstanding
dancers will be dancing to
music in and out of the
crowd. Old English catches,
rounds, contemporary, and
goring songs will be sung and
played. Dr. Morton and the
poetry circle will write the
lines to add a little poetic
flourescence to the play.
After the play everyone
will share food and drink un
der the moonlight. The ad
mission to this fine event is a
favorite feasting type of food
or beverage to share with oth
ers. Also bring instruments
and good spirits to share with
everyone.
The Celebration of Spring
will take place down at the
lake on Friday, April 13th.
Come a little before dusk and
stay until after sunset-or until
you have throughly enjoyed
yourself.

"Serendipity Two"
by Bob Bussey
Spring and Guilford Col
lege are having a sort of get
together during the month of
April - April 13, 14, and 15,
to be exact. After lengthy dis
cussions, Spring and the Col
lege Union decided to call it
Serendipity Two, the Union
putting up all of the bread
that was needed, while Spring
promised us not only good
weather but a potion of
sweetness and mystical things
of the past. Spring said that
with her influence, Guilford
would have talent from the
outer edges of winter and
summer, to produce a Seren
dipitous weekend filled with
fun and a lot of music.
Guilford's Spring Week
end (students, parents, alum
ni) begins on a gentle tone,
filled with the sounds of na
ture and the heavens. On the
eve of a full moon, there will
be a Spring Festival, a cele
bration of Spring, by the lake
at 6:30 p.m. Under the glow
of the moon, interest in
Spring will be portrayed
through different media by
students at Guilford gentle
opening for a fabulous week
end. From 9:00 to 11:45 all
of you music lovers can dance
and rock out to the sound of
the "Downstairs Attic". But
wait, the day is not over yet.
At 12 midnight, the movie
"Alice's Restaurant" will be
shown outside English. So
make plans to sleep late but
be up by 10 the next day,
Saturday.
Last year it was Jim Gif
ford and Khamis Abdul-Ma
gid amongst others who bat
tled it out at soccer against
the proletariat. This year
who knows who the stars will
be, but the game will start
at 10 a.m. on the soccer field.
While you are chewing on the
picnic lunch to be held in
front of Cox, there will be a
lot of music such as Joe Cum
mings and Richard Broadbent,
to name only two of the se
ven acts to play. Starting at
1:00 p.m. there will be a
Field Day Festival together
with dorm competitions in
softball and volleyball. While
these other two events are
taking place, there will be a
lacrosse game at 2:00 on the
football field. Finally, there
will be a chance to pick your
self up and get away from it
GUILFORDIAN
A Weekend Of Music
all. Thanks to Ed Fisher and
the cafeteria staff, there will
be a special, end-of-a-hella
cious-day dinner, served Ital
ian style. Then, be at Dana by
8:00 to listen to John Herald
and the Greenbriar Boys, the
one time winners of competi
tion at the Fiddlers' Conven
tion at Union Grove, North
Carolina. Then comes the hit
of the evening: Orleans, a fast
moving rock group, plays as
the Washington Post says,
"the kind of funky, frolick
some, get up and dance mus
ic." Like group leader John
Hall, all are vets with music,
but Hall stands out because
of his work with artists such
as Taj Mahal and John Simon.
Saturday is a definite must on
your Serendipity schedule,
and the three hour concert is
a definite must on your Sat
Friday Night At The Telethon
by Lynn McOaniel
Last week for five furious
nights various groups of stu
dents, faculty, alumni, admin
istrators, and trustees partici
pated in the 1973 Telethon
for the Loyalty Fund. They
raised a total of $23,500 to
be matched by a $15,000
challenge from the Bryan
Family Foundation, making
a grand total of $38,500. The
single highest total went to
Tom Cheek, of the Alumni
Board of Directors, for rais
ing $1,480 single-handedly.
Grimsley Hobbs followed
with $1,140, while Mildred
"Money-bags" Marlette, ran
a close third with $1,035. In
all, there were 95 students,
faculty, alumni, administra
tors, and trustees calling var
ious alumni seeking pledges
over the phone to meet the
Bryan Family challenge.
The phone calls were
made from the phone bank at
NCNB BankAmericard Cen
ter on Eugene Street. As a
student who worked on Fri
day night I can vouch for the
fact that it was hard work,
but also lots of fun, with the
thrill of victory and the agony
of defeat. If you lucked out
urday.
Sunday a tranquil folk
mass will be held in the Union
Lounge at 11:00 a.m. After
lunch at 1:00, get ready for
four hours of bluegrass music
outdoors, featuring the Blue
grass Experience, back from
last year's Serendipity, and
the well known Dillards. What
better place to be for four
hours on a Sunday afternoon
than between Milner and Bry
an residence halls? After the
concerts, dinner is just a step
away. Thanks to Ed and the
gang, Sunday's dinner will be
served in the spirit of Spring,
outside.
Spring and the College
Union promise you a spontan
eous and Serendipitous week
end; potions will be available
in the cafeteria during the
week before.
and got a good operator it
made things all the easier.
That first phone call is the
real challenge. As luck would
have it, after I got all the
forms sorted, the cards initial
ed and signed, after the opera
tor completed the call, and I
gathered that final bit of cou
rage -- there was no answer.
Talk about a let-down.
The first call I did finally
complete was to Philadelphia
and the person answering the
phone could speak only Span
ish and a little English, out
with persistence, and some
help from the operator, I was
able to collect my first
pledge. That may not seem
like much, but after that I
could relax and enjoy the
phone calls.
The phone calls varied
widely; for instance, ther,e
was that alumnus, now in
California, who works for In
ternal Revenue, the alumnus
of 1911 who asked how things
were in Chapel Hill, the man
who heard only the words
"Guilford College" and slam
ned down the receiver.
There were voices buzzing
all around me with the calls

$1 5 Traffic Ticket
Means No Diploma
For Miami U. Grad
Miami University's right
to prohibit its students from
operating a motor vehicle in
the Oxford area has been sus
tained in a ruling by Judge
Fred B. Cramer of Butler
County Common Pleas Court.
However, Judge Cramer
also ruled that withholding
grades and diploma for a stu
dent's failure to pay a penalty
imposed by the university for
a motor vehicle regulatic. i
violation is too severe except
in case of repeat offenders.
He ruled that the nature
of the community justifies,,
for the benefit of the educa
tional mission of the univer
sity, restriction of student
use of motor vehicles through
out the community as well as
within the immediate campus.
Judge Cramer's ruling was
delivered in a suit brought
against the university last
spring by Robert A. Destro,
then a senior from Akron.
Destro had refused to pay a
$l5 fine levied against him
for having a motor vehicle in
Oxford without university
authorization.
The citation had been is
sued by a university security
policeman when the car was
parked on an Oxford street,
but it was not a parking cita
tion. Destro's grades were
withheld by the university
bursar, which would have pre
cluded graduation.
Destro contended the uni
versity's control and autho
rity over a student do not ex
tend beyond the confines of
the university campus. Judge
Cramer last spring, pending
disposition of the case, issued
a mandatory order requiring
the university to certify his
grades and award Destro his
diploma. The recent ruling re
quires him to pay the $l5
fine.
being made. Someone behind
me had the misfortune of
calling three deceased per
sons, one recently divorced
lady, and the father of a girl
who had been rejected by
Guilford.
Working with the Tele
thon, one also got to hear
about the legendary figures
that developed over the week.
Some poor person on the bot
tom of the totem pole only
raised $l5. The legendary Mil
dred "Money-bags" Marlette,
former Dean of Women, rais
ed $5OO in one phone call
alone. At that, I felt some
what dwarfed having only
raised $25 as my highest sin
gle contribution.
Then I thought about the
fact that it was Friday night,
and as it added up, the night's
total ran over $2000; I felt
a lot better just knowing that
I made almost 10% of the
nightly total myself. And
then I realized that the grand
total was more than last year's,
and I felt even better. It may
not mean much, but we did
feel some sense of achieve
ment, for our efforts have
kept the Loyalty Fund going
for another year.
