September 12. 1974 Burton Leads Student Rights —Jon Hiratsuka Aug. 4--The Center for Student Rights held a meeting Wednesday night at the Community in Christ Presby terian Church in Forest Oaks to share information on and recruit support for area student rights activity. Former Guilford professor Bill Burton presided over the group as they discussed conditions in area high schools and efforts to protect students, human dignity and Constitutional rights from abuses of administrative power. Students at the meeting said Northwest Guilford H.S. forbids apparel such as cut offs, patches, shirt tails not tucked in, and halters. They also charged that the school intimidates and harasses select individuals to secure compliance. Others said the principal at Northeast H.S. forbids distribution of student rights literature, the girls at Nathanael Green Elementary School can't wear T-shirts, and some football coaches make varsity players cut their hair.

Hi ■■ Distr. by Puzzles, Inc. No. 148 > Several students reported that Southeast Jr. High still has a windowless solitary confinement room called "the vault," although no one has been put in the vault for punishment so far this year. Dr. Burton criticized school officials' obsession with uni formity and claimed many school regulations are uncon stitutional. He cited recent court decisions such as Tinker vs. Des Moines which affirm a student's rights to free expression (through speech, dress, and publication) and to procedural safeguards. Dr. Burton also said a double standard of student conduct exists. Freaks, blacks, and students from working class homes are often harassed for the same things which cheerleaders, popular individuals, and other "ap proved" types are allowed to do. Besides citing unjust condi tions, the meeting discussed efforts to correct them. Dr. Burton, Secretary of the Center for Student Rights, cited his organization's past and present activities. He suggested the Center's basic The Guilfordian approach of polite insistance on one's rights backed up by legal assistance, organization, and media publicity. Dr. Burton urged students to know their rights and to politely tell school officials when they are abusing their authority. He said lawyers would be available to assist students. Attorneys would assess the legality of school dress codes and policy statements and of proposed student actions. When neces sary, they would write letters admonishing unjust school officials and even represent students in court. Dr. Burton also asked for help in distributing literature, organizing students at indivi dual high schools, and relaying information and grievances from these schools to the Center. He also cited the Center's plans to co-sponsor a state wide workshop for guidance coun selors. The purpose is to inform counselors of student rights matters. Finally Dr. Burton stressed the need for more media publicity to focus attention on unlawful restrictions against Womens Studies by Annette Green Guilford faculty and stu dents will be taking advantage of a grant in Women's Studies this year. The grant, which was written by Drs. Beth Keiser, Kathy Sebo, Jose phine Moore and Martha Cooley of the Guilford faculty, amounts to about $6,500. The money for the project comes through the Tri-College Con sortiun as part of a Faculty Improvement and Curriculum Development Grant from the Federal Government. According to Carol Stone burner, coordinator of the project, the money is being divided up for several uses. This past summer six faculty research grants were given to Guilford Faculty members: Raleigh Bailey (Sociology/ Anthropology), Kathy Sebo (Political Science), CaroT Stoneburner (Women's Stu dies), Adele Groulx (Art), John Stoneburner (Religion), and Beth Keiser (English). Ms. Stoneburner explained that each of them studied women in light of their own discipline. students. Last year the Daily News published a letter/peti tion from Southeast Guilford H.S. students protesting a rule against boys and girls smoking together in the same designated area. The Center's own newspaper, The Green Hornet, ran an article satiring the principal's absurd claim that co-ed smoking led to sexual activity. Such publicity eventually caused the school to repeal the restriction. This year the Green Hornet will be distributed jointly with the Greensboro Sun in the hopes that it can reach more readers. The Center for Student Rights recently helped publish a Student Rights Handbook. They are currently planning programs and announcements for radio, television, and cable television. Recently Guilford College freshman and student rights organizer Lloyd De- France was interviewed on the evening news. He is actively seeking Guilford students willing to work on behalf of high school students. TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION FREE Introductory Lecture Thursday evening -19 Sept. 8:00 PM Moon Room Dana Auditorium Guilford College Their findings will be used to augment the curriculum of their regular courses, and will also be compiled to make up the course of study for a new, interdisciplinary Women's Studies course to be offered Spring semester. Carol Stone burner will be the coordinat ing teacher of this course which, she said, will deal with "American Women". The grant will also be used for two faculty improvement workshops in Women's Stu dies. The one scheduled to be held this fall will most likely to be at a retreat center and only a limited number of partici pants will be allowed to attend. The workshop in the spring, however, will be heid at Guilford and will be for a greater number of people. One or both of these workshops may be held in conjunction with Greensboro College. Another facet of the Women's Studies Grant is the establishment of six student assistantships. About $1,500 will be divided up to pay the students who fill these positions.

According to a Women's Coalition spokes person, the two positions for their center have already been filled by Vikki Spiers and Leslie Zeldin. Ms. Stone burner asks that any Guilford student (preferably upper class) who is interested in filling one of these assistani ship positions attend a meeting on Wednesday. September 18, at 10:00 a.m. in the Moon Room in Dana. The planners of the program hope that the various ways the Women's Studies Grant is being used will benefit a large amount of Guilford's faculty and student body.
