Page 2 Editorial As a word of opening to the Guilford College Community, we would like to announce our plans for giving to the Guilfordian a face-lift. What we have in mind is to broaden the scope of the newspaper as a sounding board for the issues, concerns, and interests of our community. We would like to encourage students, faculty, administrators, staff and everyone else to express their opinions and ideas through the paper. This can be done through articles, co lumns, reviews, features, letters to the editors, and any other way you wish to add to your newspaper. One need not Jje a full-time staff member or w?> m 'stir. -;; -■^,-- y~ '*^lraJ^M^C Informal groups gathered to enjoy sparkling weather and Founders' Hall festivities Every Freshperson Should Know... by Mandy O' Briant There certain facts that a trusting freshperson hopes to be told upon her arrival to school. I, being a freshperson, felt sure that those older and wiser would help me out with any questions that I might have. However, there were a few things that I found out quite by myself. For one reason or another, no one thought to tell us new students some of these little things. "Just what are 'these little things'?" you might be asking. To begin with, I'm referring to the complete lack of freshperson, or otherwise, orientation to the library. I believe that the majority of students at Guilford utilize the library, but they really don't know how to look for books or check them out until they ask a bunch of dopey questions. If the time was found on August 21 to deliver all of those boring orientation lectures, then the time could have been made to acquaint the students with the library. It still isn't too late for something to be done. I'm used to the Dewey decimal system of classification of books and I think that most of us are since a lot of schools use that system. It's complete- professional writer to contri bute. We welcome all articles, etc. They may be submitted, preferably before the week end, but at the latest Sunday at 5, to us through the campus mail to Pat Townsend or Leslie Zeldin, put in the Guilfordian mailbox in New Garden or left in our rooms (Shore 104 and Hobbs 24), respectively. All letters to the editors must be signed, but names may be withheld on request. We are aiming to make this year's Guilfordian a success and with your help it will be possible. We look forward to hearing from everyone! pat& leslie ly different here and even a basic knowledge of the library would help. My next gripe is about the mailboxes. I thought that my mailbox was all mine because liiadn't been told otherwise. Then one day I found this fellow's mail in my box. I just knew that it was a mistake and someone had written the wrong box number on the fellow's mail. I promptly took his letters into the mailroom where I was there and then set right on the situation. I found out only then that everyone has at least two people sharing a post office box with them. At least I found out before accusing someone of tamper ing with my maityftox and making a bigger fool of myself. Up on the wall over the boxes is now a sign stating that they are shared. I suggest that a magnifying glass be put up next to the sign so that others may find it and read it for themselves. All my life my mother prepared me for college. She said, "Don't worry if you put on a little extra poundage your first year away from home." Well mother, I've lost instead of gained. I thought that this was a college, not a weight camp. At least the food is The Goilfordian Letter to the Editors Dear Editor: I'm absolutely amazed that at a "small school", there is still this process of mass herding. The cafeteria has gained the notorious reputa tion for long lines and no places to sit.

You could take with you to every meal a "food enhancer kit"; a blindfold. Last but not least are the males of Guilford. My gripe about them is directed towards the ones who are always roaming around the halls of the girls' dorms at 3:00 a.m. It is getting a wee bit tiresome sneaking down the halls in our nighties, or whatever, just to go potty. Don't you fellows every stay in your own rooms? Do you really get your kicks from watching the girls dodge you? I Okay, I'll say no more, but this. Included in next year's orientation program should be more pertinent and useful information and fewer "philo sophy of education" speeches. I felt like a lot of good time was wasted on speeches that really didn't say that much. Other more personal topics, touching on the things Ihave mentioned, could have been discussed. However, that's over and done with. I hope for the next new class some of the embarrassment of not know ing what was going on will be abolished. My orientation was good, but it could have been better. need to interogate everyone, even unfortunate victims who have lost or misplaced their compassion for people; treat ing many as though they are intruding in their quarters.
