Expanded Counciling
The Counseling Center is
continuously seeking ways to
better reach and serve the
Guilford community. The
personnel of the Center is
attempting to respond to some
of the concerns expressed by
students through several
types of group experiences.
These groups will deal with
such areas as: Interpersonal
Relations, Decision-Making,
Race Relations, Women,
Studying, and Group En
counter. Interested students
are encouraged to contact
immediately the designated
persons for each group
described below.
-The INTERPERSONAL
RELATIONS GROUP will
focus on how individuals
relate to each other. As a type
of "personal growth group",
emphasis will be placed on
exploring feelings that we
have about ourselves and how
these feelings in turn
influence our relationships
with others. The overall
objective of this group is an
effort to effect some necessary
theraputic changes in the
participants. Bill Springs and
Paula Swonguer will jointly
lead this group.
-The DECISION-MAKING
GROUP is designed to help
students learn more effective
skills in making important
decisions and to provide
practice in applying these
skills to a variety of situations,
New Garden Meeting
New Garden Meeting is
prepared to explain the
difference between Quaker

ONE."
You are invited to share in
Study Groups, (Sunday and

111, Beth Phillips, and
countless other member
ministers provides Youth,
Christian Education, Counse
ling, college and pastoral
including choosing a major

contact Paula Swonger for
time and place of meetings.
-The RACE RELATIONS
GROUP will focus upon
finding constructive ways of
narrowing the gaps among the
races represented within the
membership of the group.
Attention will be given to
identifying our own racial
prejudices and developing
new tools, and techniques that
will aid in fostering better race
relations. This group is open
to those students who honestly
and sincerely wish to seek a
better understanding of them
selves in relationship to
another race. This group will
be led by Dick Woodward and
Ken Schwab.
-The WOMEN'S GROUP
will be exploring some of the
problems faced by women
today, taking a look at how we
as women view ourselves in
light of our experiences and
discussing various avenues of
change. Some of the areas to
be covered are: Discrimina
tion, Sexual Identity and
Roles, Sterotyping, Assertive
ness. Support and Competi
tion. This group will be led by
Paula Swonguer.
-The STUDY GROUP - The
fundamental purpose of of this
group will be to aid students in
improving their study habits
and study skills. Students who
are having difficulty in one or
more of their classes or
ministry to groups and on a
one-to-one level.
If we're not like any other
church or meeting, or the one
back home—it's because we're
not trying to be. We are trying
to be ourselves in our own
particular situation, as we
interpret 20th century society
against 300 years of Quaker
history.
Do you find the need for a
faith in this turbulent world
which enables you to live
better in it, and which excites
your endeavor to mend it?
Perhaps the approach of New
Garden Friends Meeting could
be meaningful to you.

RIGHT TO LIFE
Dr. Frederick W. Parkhurst
Jr., Associate Professor of
Economics at Guilford Col
lege, spoke to the annual
meeting of "North Carolina
Right to Life," held in
Greensboro at the Quality Inn,
October 12. His topic was
"Environmental Protection
and Social Pollution," relating
problems of over-population to
the right-to-life movement,
which is working toward a
"Human Life Amendment" to
the United States Constitu
tion, seeking alternatives to
abortion, euthenasia ("mercy
killing"), and similar methods
of population control. At the
meeting Dr. Parkhurst was
elected one of the Directors of
the N.C. Right to Life, and
was named one of the
members of the State
Executive Committee.
Dr. Parkhurst says that
Right-to-Life emphasizes non
lethal birth control, family
planning information, and
improved adoption proce
dures. The non-partisan
"Human Life Amendment",
sponsored by liberal Senators
Mark Hatfield of Oregon,
William Proxmire of Wiscon
sin, and Harold Hughes of
lowa, including conservative
Senators such as James
Buckley of New York and
Jesse Helms of North
Carolina, would guarantee
equal rights to all persons
from the moment of concep
tion, thus over-ruling the 1973
Supreme Court decision in
Roe v. Wade.
In effect, the Supreme
Court held that a mother has
the legal right of privacy to
destroy her unborn child. Dr.
Parkhurst savs the "Human
Life Amendment" would
support the Declaration of
Human Rights of the United
Nations that all human life
from the moment of concep
tion deserves legal protection.
Dr. Parkhurst says he believes
this position is consistent with
the Quaker testimony against
violence, which he says should
include killing in war, by
capital punishment, or by
abortion.
Members of the faculty, or
students, interested in the
right to life should contact
"North Carolina Right to Life
-- Birthright Birthchoice,"

North Carolina 27408, or
