Page 4 God's Corner - by Rob Mitchell All of us have been influenced in one way or another by the Christian tradition. It is in our laws and society's general code of conduct. Whether we accept it ot not, it is part of our environmental influences. Some people accept Christia nity whole-heartedly, some are passive participants, some do not really care, and some are very much opposed to Christianity. There are many people on campus who believe in Jesus as the Christ. We gather together on Wednesday morn ings for fellowship at 10:30. It is a very unstructured gathering, with no creed that participants must accept or dues to be paid. We are simply people who believe and/or are searching for answers to the basic questions we all ask in a Christian context. Occasionally we have off-campus people come talk and share with us. We are also hoping to get away a couple of times as a group for a weekend in the hills or at the beach. We generally share Star Parties Do you find Guilford boring; are you tired of dull everyday beer parties? Well! the SPS has come up with the newest most exciting happening of the semester: Star Parties. The first will be held on Thursday September 11 at 10:00 p.m. behind Bryan Dorm on the soccer field. All students, faculty, staff, and families are welcome. Future dates and times will be announced. The purpose of these star parties, if you have not already guessed, is to observe heavenly bodies. The chief means to watch these heavenly bodies are telscopes. We have three six-inch reflectors equipped with clock drives and magnification from fifty to three hundred power. If you don't understand all this technical lingo; it just means that they make small objects look larger. It may interest some of you to know what heavenly bodies can be seen with our telescopes. Since some people might object to us looking in the windows of Binford; we will have to concentrate on such things as the Moon; planets such as Mars, Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter; double stars such as Mizer and Alcor in the Big Dipper; star clusters and globular clusters such as Pleiades and Hyades; galaxies such as the Great Galaxy in Andromeda; and Nebulae such as the Orion Nebula. and sing, pray and study the Bible when we gather together, however, we have no set formula that we follow when we gather. We simply look to the Spirit to lead us. The Spirit does lead us, as the Spirit will lead any who seek it's guidance. As there are political decisions, economic decisions, and financial decisions that have to be made, so too, are there spiritual decisions in our lives. This column is dedicated to the spiritual aspect of life and my hopes are that it will speak to some of your needs. Any complaints or criticisms or praise of anything said in this column should be directed at me, as the thoughts to be posed are mine, and do not necessarily reflect those of the other Christians on campus. If you are interested in sharing and joining in fellowship with us and/or learning of off-campus in volvement possibilities in the Christian vein, please come and see me or Jerry Sowers (I am in English 14, Jerry in English 15). by Ike Bendall Jupiter will be the guest star at this week's party and a door prize will be given to the first person to see a Black Hole. If anyone wishes to throw their own star party; they can do so by either seeing Sheridan Simon or taking Astronomy; preferably both. The key to the telescope shed can also be obtained from Sheridan. Biophile News The Biophile Club meets regularly each week on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 in room 104 of King Hall. "Biophile" means literally "lover of life" -- the clubs concerns are along this line. Campus-wide recycling, camping excursions and introducing young children to the world of nature are just a few of the projects this club has been involved in the past. Often, during the weekly meetings there will be special programs, guest speakers and films of ecological interest. Keep an eye open for notices on the bulletin boards on campus for details. Craft Center Everyone interested in the Craft Center (pottery, weav ing, wood-working-your plea sure!) is invited to the first meeting on Wednesday, September 10 at 2:00 in the "new" craft center located in Founders', basement. Please come! The Guilfordian There will be a regularly scheduled meeting of the Guilford College Christian Fellowship each Wednesday morning from 10:30 AM until approximately 12:00 noon. The group will be meeting in room 203, on the second floor of Founder's Hall. The time will be spent studying what the Bible says about the times we are living in today. Please contact Jerry Sowers for more information. English 15, phone 855-9867. The Guilford College Choir Lives by Sally McAlister Yes, of course there's a choir at Guilford College! A choir so much in existence that approximately fifty people belong to it this year. These members, many "old" and many "new", range from freshmen through seniors, and sing either base, tenor, alto, or soprano. Despite the large membership, Ed Lowe, our very nice, fun, and hard-working director, has already organized various social and constitutional committees, section leaders, etc. in order to keep things rolling very smoothly this year. News from The United Arts Council and its member agencies are currently offering a wide range of series tickets, programs, and classes in varying subjects. Full details on each event and tickets are available by contacting the United Arts Council, 712 Summit Avenue, 274-2436. THE GREENSBORO ARTS AND CRAFTS ASSOCIATION Classes in such areas as weaving, pottery, photogra phy, painting, jewelry mak ing, herb gardening, beaded flowers, and macrame will be offered for adults, children, teens and senior citizens. Director Joan Deadmon is currently accepting registra tion for classes to begin the week of September 22. Guilford College faculty and students are invited to audition for the Greensboro Symphony on Saturday, Sep tember 13, 1975. For more information please contact Bill Oden, Personnel Manager. Telephone 299-1000. Hope to hear from you. Groovln' at Foundeers' Though many of you may think differently, the choir is not all hard work. For exampke, a fun "gathering" planned for later this fall with a wienie roast, hay ride and square dance in mind, is intended to help bring the choir members closer togeth er, giving both "new" and "old" a chance to meet in an environment outside the choir room. According to some of the older members, spirit and moral are really "up" this year and the choir seems to be off to a good start. Among the other programs and tours "in store" for this year, the choir or an ensemble The United THE GREENSBORO CIVIC BALLET will be offering regular classes for the first time this fall. Artistic director Lea Sharsky will also conduct classes for a performing group. Registration and audi tions will be held September 13 at 9:30 a.m. at Friendly Center Auditorium. FALL FASHION CONCERT IX, an annual event which benefits the United Arts Council, will be held at 8:15 p.m. on September 18 at War Memorial Auditorium. A Bicentennial program of entertainment is planned, as well as highlights of the season's fashions, all from the Greensboro Merchants' As sociation. Meditators Organize An effort is being made to form a student TM (transcen dental meditation) organiza tion, allowing for advanced lectures at Guilford. In order to do this, we need to know the names and room numbers of all meditators. Please contact Alan Lott in Milner 337 or Wendy Higgins in Hobbs 7 to learn more about it. Sept. 9, 1975 from the choir will sing in the Friends Meeting House in Highpoint near the end of this month. Our next program will be during homecoming, be cause its theme this year is centered on the choir. A third program is planned for the rededication of New Founders Hall and still another, last for now but certainly not least, is our Christmas Concert given in Dana Auditorium. In conclusion, I'd like to add that many of us new members, certainly this one here, think the choir this year will be a lot of fun and thanks to Ed Lowe, we look forward to being a part of it.
