March 4, 1975 Language Week by Angela Lantz Governor Holshouser has declared the third week of March (week after Guilford's spring break) "Language Week". When learned, it lends one the power of building communicative bridges over the breaches of cultural differentiation. On March 19, Guilford College's attention to the language arts will utilize a perception of some of both the specificities and commonali ties among different cultures. All week the third floor of Duke Memorial will feature various displays including photographs, writings, and objects of special interest from around the world. At 3:00 p.m. on Wednes day, the 19th, there will be held also on third floor Duke, a tea in honor of Dr. Tetel, our guest speaker from Duke University.

He is French born, has spent much of his life studying on grants in Italy, and is a United States citizen. Dr. Tetel will speak at 4:00 p.m. on March 19th, in the Leak Room.

Summer Internships The various departments of the state government of North Carolina have over 200 internship positions (competi tive selection) available for this summer. These intern ships are designed to be more than "just summer jobs" and are not confined to clerical or manual labor. The information sheet says "These intern projects are developed with the following ideas in mind: 1) Internships create the oppor tunity for students to apply classroom instruction to a working situation 2) Intern ships give students the opportunity to witness the operations of state govern ment on a daily basis 3) Individualized projects allow the student to be creative and enterprizing in his internship role." Most of the internships are located in the Raleigh state government office complex although there are some located in other parts of the state. Any college student who is either a resident of North Carolina or who attends a North Carolina college is eligible to participate. Prefe rence is given to rising juniors and seniors.

Sierra Club's Ist Meeting On February 10, 1975, the Sierra Club held its first meeting on the Guilford campus. The recently-formed Piedmont Plateau Group of the Club has chosen Guilford for its regular meeting spot. The Sierra Club, a nationally known conservation organiza tion has had a chapter in the Carolinas but has only been active in the Piedmont for the Dast two years. The Club originally began as an effort to "preserve, protect, and enjoy the Sierra Nevadas", but soon became involved in a nationwide wilderness preser vation program. The Club was founded by John Muir, a renowned Scottish naturalist, in 1892. The Sierra Club has two main thrusts today; wilder ness outings and environ mental protection. It is probably the most active and effective environmental or ganization in the country, with some 140,000 members. Its greatest growth period came when it got involved in the battle to present construction of dams in the Grand Canyon, a successful campaign that took several years to com plete. More recently the Club has been in the forefront of the efforts to develop rational national energy policies, ranging from conservation of fossil fuels to control of nuclear power plants. with attorneys, seminars on women's experience as stu dents and as practicing attorneys, explanation of admission procedures, and opportunity for small group discussion. Housing will be provided if needed. Information is available at the Placement Office at your school, or contact: Women in Law, Wake Forest Law School, Winston-Salem, N.C. 27109 On March 17, 1975, at 7:30 p.m. the local Club will hold its next meeting, in the Moon Room of Dana Auditorium. The subject will be a slide show by Don Gibbon on a national Club outing he and his wife took in the Canyon County of Southeast Utah. This eight-day back packing trip took them through the remote canyons inhabited 700 to 1,000 years ago by the predecessors of the Pueblo peoples. /Many of their artifacts and dwelling places are still to be found along the route of the hike. (You may notice a similarity to the recent Seminars West pro gram...that is more than a coincidence! Don Gibbon and Dick Morton arc leading Seminars West this year out to the same area). Also on the same program will be a Conservation Workshop, in which we will break up into small groups to focus on areas of particular conservation interest. During the workshop we will discuss North Carolina's scenic rivers program, problems of nuclear power and energy conserva tion, how to work with and on our state legislators, recycling problems and how to grapple with them, and any other matters which the member ship is interested in working on. Student membership in the Sierra Club is only SB.OO a year. For that fee you receive the national Bulletin, a monthly Chapter and group newsletter, which brings you notice of local outings, and you get major discounts on books in the Club's extensive list of publications. Non-members are particularly invited to the local meetings... We need your help! Sierra Club Meeting: Moon Room, 7:30 PM 17 March 1975 Page 5 Summer Work and Study Abroad Students who come to Guilford to advance their education and learn about their world will have many opportunites in the Summer of 1975. The spring break is a time to think it over and make plans. The possibilities abroad range from jobs with a net income to study with 8 hours of College credit. But the thing they have in common is the experience of living and learning in another culture. Without this experience edu cation is not a preparation for the multinational and multi cultural world in which we live. The three types of oppor tunities to learn, work and study in other cultures are: SUMMER JOB ABROAD in BRITAIN* FRANCE and GERMANY where you can learn about the people and their language while you earn an income. Information and applications will be available at the Center for Off Campus Education in Bryan Hall after Spring break.

The Schools are located in London, Paris, Athens, East and West Germany, Italy and Cali (Colombia. Each is six weeks three additional weeks provided for independent travel.
