THE 6UILFORDIAN New Founders Opens Our 139 th Year! by Leslie Zeldin The opening of Founders Hall adds a whole new dimension to the Guilford community. This building will bring student organizations and faculty into closer proximity of each other as well as provide a central area on the Guilford campus where people can meet and from where information can be disseminated. Communica tions on the whole should be greatly increased, thus involv ing more people in the activities of the community. Officially, Founders Hall will be rededicated with the assistance of North Carolina Congressman Richardson Preyer on November 8, 1975, which will mark the formal opening of Founders Hall. The building is open now to everyone for use from 8:00 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Saturday, and from noon to midnight on Sunday. All students, faculty, admini strators and other members of the Guilford community are encouraged to use Founders Hall. The building consists of three floors, the basement being the new home for the art department. There are studios and a photography laboratory in the basement, which is open on a sign-up basis to everyone. The Craft Center is also located in the basement along with the student mailboxes, the Grill Room and the bookstore. Also a drama rehearsal hall and dressing rooms are located there, and a game room consisting of a pool table, pinball machines, ftfosball and air hockey. )p- v The first floor has two lounges which the coordinator of student activities, Hugh Stohler says, "are completely open and we want people to use them." Hugh's office is on this floor along with the cafeteria and the Sternberger Auditorium. The second floor consists of a large Commons Room with a huge, circular, white couch, a large gallery and meeting room, separate smaller meet ing rooms and student organization offices. There is a kitchen which can be used by students on a reserve basis and an office for those students organizations that do not have their own separate office. The student organizations which do have offices on the second floor are the Senate, the Union, the Center and Brothers and Sisters In Blackness, (BASIB), which are in the student office suite. The radio station, WQFS, and the three student publications, the Quaker, the Piper and the Guilfordian are all located on the north hall above the cafeteria. The International Relations Club has been given a corner of the Commons Room to occupy, as has the Career Information Library which is intended to be an extension of the Counseling and Placement Center in Bryan Hall. The day students have an area in the student office suite. There is also a typing room available to organiza tions and individuals on the second floor.

You have survived registration and the opening of school! It is going to be a great year. With over 355 new students and their wide variety of interests, it ought to provide a real challenge to our college community. The Admissions Office wants to take this opportunity to welcome all the new students. It is difficult to express just how exciting it has been to work with you through the various stages of the admissions procedure. Th© diversity is tremendous with students representing more than 25 states and 4 foreign countries, academic interests touching on all departments in the college, and the enthusiasm to become involved in campus life is unequalled. We also enjoy seeing all the returning students. We wish all of you the best of luck for a great year ahead! The new Guilfordian editors announce their goals. See "editorial", Page 2 for details. A Look at New Professors by Annette Zitver Green Amongst the large number of unfamiliar faces to be found on the Guilford Campus this Fall are three new teachers in the fields of Sociology, Economics and Biology. Al though they are still in the midst of getting settled here and adjusting to the change from large universities, their exuberance over Guilford is truly refreshing. New to the Sociology Department is Assistant Professor Margaret Young who has brought to Guilford her intense interest in alternative forms of health care organization. Along these lines, she is teaching a seminar in The Sociology of Medicine and Health. This semester she also teaches Introductory Anthropology (a field which she sees as an integral part of Sociology) and Social Problems. She comes to Guilford from U.N.C.C. where she will be receiving her Ph.D. in December. Her past experi ences are many and varied and they include: undergra duate studies in History and Philosophy at Alverno College in Milwaulkee (her home town), a Masters' in Sociology at Loyola College in Chicago, teaching Elementary School in Chicago and four years teaching at small liberal arts colleges in the Midwest. She has lived in Carrboro, N.C. for the last five years working on her PhD. and as a Research Associate at the interdepartmental Health Ser vices Research Center of U.N.C. She has also had training in Zoology and worked in a guide dog breeding program which account for her interest in Animal Sociology.
