April 13th - 16th Guilford students will have a rare
opportunity to help direct the future of Guilford College. A
Visiting Committee from the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools will be on campus next week and will be very
interested in gathering student opinion. Committee members
will be talking with students on campus and will be available for
scheduled meetings with interested students.
Recommendations made by the Visiting Committee will play
a major role in the College's plans for the coming years. If you
have ideas about what is right or wrong with Guilford, make an
appointment by contacting Dr. Robert Bryden in King Hall.
If you care about academic and social requirements,
administrative runaround, dogs on campus, athletic and
departmental budgets, or any other aspect of college life this is
your chance to make a difference.
This opportunity only happens once every decade. Speak now
or forever hold your peace.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
I am a senior here at
Guilford and for the past four
years I have been impressed
by the friendliness, coopera
tion and understanding of the
faculty and administration.
They have always been
available with open arms to
help me with my problems and
concerns;, For this I would like
to express my thanks and
appreciation for them for
making my college career a
pleasant and rewarding expe
rience.
I do feel, however, that two
areas of the Guilford College
Community have failed to be
worthy of this compliment.
Unfortunately, these areas are
those most often encountered
by the students here at
Guilford. They are the
Registrar's Office and the
Business Office. Please under
stand that Floyd Reynolds and
Jim Newlin have been more
than cooperative and helpful
and my criticism is by no
means directed toward ♦hem.
Their secretaries, on the other
hand, have made working with
these areas not only difficult
and time consuming but
unpleasant as well. Not only
are they unhelpful and
uncooperative but their atti
tudes seem to stem from the
belief that they are doing us a
"big" favor, when, in reality,
they are only doing their jobs.
In my dealings in the past
with these two offices, I have
found that they often misplace
records and files, attempt to
charge individuals for bills
that have previously been
paid, fail to help students
when all the secretaries are
available, and are basically
aloof and unpleasant in
dealing with students. 1
realize that it is often hard to
deal with the public, however,
I feel that this is no legitimate
cause for their uncooperative
attitude. Perhaps if they
would be more cooperative
and understanding they would
gain their due respect from
students.
It is quite unfortunate for
the students and the Guilford
College Community that these
two unpleasant areas exist
when other members of the
faculty and administration try
so hard to make Guilford a
desirable institution. I hope
that some action can be taken
to make dealing with these
areas easy and pleasant for
students in the future.

Dear Editor:
This is a cry for help. (Send
no money.)
My wife and I wish we could
thank individually all the
students, faculty members
and staff who made our stay at
Guilford last week so
memorable, f have been on
many college and university
campuses but none more
friendly than yours.
If through the columns of
the Guilfordian we could
express our gratitude for the
experience and for the
touching note from the
Students of Guilford delivered
to us as we left, we would
appreciate it mightily.
1 am not sure what arcane or
other methods the Woodrow
Wilson Senior Fellowship
Foundation uses in Princeton
to measure the success of its
current program. I am sure
that Wendy and I were richly
rewarded for our part by our
visit to Guilford. If we said or
did anything to contribute to
the progress of your distin
guished College, so much the
better.
We wish you all the very
best of luck (exams not
excluded).
Sincerely yours,
Edward P. Morgan

IF YOU LIT A FRIEND DRIVE
DRUNK, YOU'RE NO FRIEND.
In the time it takes to drive
your friend home, you could save
hit life.
If your friend's been drinking
too much, he shouldn't be driving.
The automobile crash is the
number one cause of depth of
people your age. And the ironic
thing is that the drunk drivers
responsible for killing young people
are moat often other young people.
Take ten minutes. Or twenty.
Or an hour. Drive your friend
home. That's all. if you can't do
that, caH a cab. Or let him sleep on
your couch.
We're not aaking you to be
a doctor or a cop. Just a friend.

Dear Editor,
A little more than a year
ago, I lost a book entitled Flow
of Horizons (D. Owen
Stephens, c 1937), having left
it on the dining room table in
Mary Hobbs Dorm the
evening of March 29th, 1974.
My name is inscribed beneath
my father's on the first leaf.
The book is important to me. I
would like to ask that anyone
who has seen or found it get in
touch with me.

Most men, even in this
comparatively free country,
through mere ignorance and
mistake, are so occupied with
the facitious cares and
superfluously coarse labors of
life that its finer fruits cannot
be plucked by them. -Thoreau
