Seminar To Explore
Quakerism in England
A meeting will be held at 3
p.m., Sunday, March 2, at the
home of Mel and Beth Keiser
for all students interested in
combining a trip to England
with an exploration of the
beginnings of Quakerism and
its present significance as an
international religious move
ment. The three week Quaker
journey is being planned for
May 16, June 4 at minimum
expense with the hope that it
will be possible for many
students to combine it with a
full summer of work after their
return. The cost of the entire
trip will be in the neighbor
hood of $600; the flight will be
arranged in order to permit
students to return within 21 to
45 days, thus accomodating
those who can afford to stay
abroad after the three week
Quaker journey. No academic
credit is being offered for the
exploration of Quaker history
and contemporary activities,
but the educational impact of
the trip may be formally
continued through indepen
dent study in related topics to
be arranged with either Mel or
Beth Keiser.
Provisional Marks
Unchanged Provisional
Marks of Semester I 1974-75
become final marks on Friday,
March 7, 1975. Students
800 schools and the Army
are making college a reality
for more young people.
About eighteen months ago, the Army
began to develop a bold, new concept in cooperative
education. Project Ahead.
The program began at one university in
the Midwest. Interest was so great the Army
decided to expand it across the country. Today,
the program involves more than 800 colleges
and universities. And it's still growing.
Project Ahead's structure is basically
simple. But its benefits to young people
and their parents are enormous.
First of all, it is a unique individualized
education plan. One that allows you to choose, if
you qualify, an "alma mater" before you enlist.
(Normally a participating school in your home area.)
So no matter which college or colleges you attend
while in the Army, you'll know beforehand the
courses you'll need for credit at the school you want
to graduate from.
Secondly, the Army provides financial aid.
College courses are available to you while you're
in the Army. And the Army will pay up to 75% of
the tuition for these courses. (After your enlist
ment's over, you'll be eligible for 36 months of
financial assistance under the G.I. Bill.)
Project Ahead
For more information, call your Army
Representative at 273-3822 Greensboro.
The itinerary is to be
discussed and decided upon at
the Sunday meeting; the
tentative plans are to rent a
van upon arrival and drive to
East Anglia where two nights
will be spent in or near
Cambridge. At nearby Saffron
Walden the group will visit a
Friends School founded some
270 years ago; in the same
area they will visit the home of
Oliver Cromwell and will
consider the political and
intellectual climate of 17th
century Puritan reformation
out of which Quakerism
springs. They will also visit
Ely Cathedral, important not
just as an architectural
triumph of the late Gothic
period but also as the site of
early Quaker witness and
persecution.
At present, the group of
students numbers seven, five
from Guilford and two from
Chapel Hill; up to three more
can be accomodated. A
deposit of SSO is due by March
15; all interested should
contact Mel or Beth Keiser at
292-5616.
should complete all necessary
work in time for instructors to
report upgraded marks by
March 7.

Greensboro Hooger Appeal
What is it like to be hungry?
A group of people from
many parts of Greensboro
came together last week at
Mary Foust Hall at UNC-G to
ask that question, and more
importantly, to ask what they
could do about the growing
problems of hunger and
malnutrition. Out of their
meeting was born the
Greensboro Hunger Appeal.
The Greensboro Hunger
Appeal is composed of
participants from all colleges
and universities in Greens
boro, city agencies including
the Mayor's office, churches
and synagoguges, civic
groups, and just interested
people. Guilford College's
effort is being organized by
Early Evans of the Student
Senate, Hugh and Sara
Stohler of the Student
Personnel Office, and Bob
Bussey working with media
coverage.

2. The ERA will not require
the integration of public rest
rooms, school locker rooms,
college dormitories, prisons,
public hospitals, army bar
racks and the likes. The
Supreme Court, in 1965,
established the constitutional
right to privacy. This will
permit the separation of the
sexes in all places that involve
sleeping, disrobing or other
private functions.
FEDERAL AND STATE
LAWS
1. Equal treatment can be
accomplished either by ex
tending the law which only
applies to one sex, to the other
sex or by rendering the law
unconstitutional as denying
equality of rights to one sex.
One purpose of the
movement is to help educate
people about the complex
issues of hunger through a
series of speakers and
city-wide activities. Another
purpose is to enable people to
experience hunger, though
just for one day, and to make a
personal experience of shar
ing. The group will raise
money to fight hunger and
malnutrition both locally and
worldwide. Finally, the move
ment hopes to encourage
people of Greensboro to
examine their personal life
styles in light of the world food
crisis.
The high point of the week
will be a 24 hour city-wide
Fast in which participants will
go without food from 6:00
p.m. on Wednesday, March 5
until 6:00 p.m. on Thursday,
March 6. The Fast will
conclude with an inter-faith
religious service, built around
a fast-breaking meal of rice
and tea. Guilford College
people will be invited to take
part in the city-wide Fast, and
money raised from the fast
will be forwarded to the
Greensboro Hunger Appeal.
Money received by the Appeal
will be distributed to UNICEF
(60%) and to the Greensboro
Urban Ministry (40%).
The week of March 2-9 was
chosen to focus on the
educational events and the
Fast, since it corresponds with
the Protestant "One Great
Hour of Sharing" and the
Orthodox Church "World
Relief Octave." Friday, March
7 is marked by most Christian
churches worldwide as World
Day of Prayer.
Events scheduled for the
week include the following:
