Study in
Germany
with Guilford
by Timothy Nolan
The German Summer
School program which will
study the cultures of four
German speaking countries,
will head for Cologne, West
Germany on May 18, 1976.
About two weeks will be spent
in West Germany, two weeks
in East Germany and two
weeks spent between, Vienna,
Austria and Bern, Switzer
land.
The trip will start in
Cologne and Bonn, West
Germany where they will visit
sites of interest, including a
cathedral and two museums.
In Bonn, the Bundeshaus, the
government seat, and the
Hans Inter Nationes, will be
seen. It is also hoped that
German students will be met
by Guilford students. A film
and a seminar on West
Germany will take place in
Bonn.
Next, the students will go to
East Germany. Here, again,
they will see theatres, opera,
and museums in every city,
including the Pergamon mu
seum. The places visited in
East Germany will include
Gothe, the Weimar Republic
in Eisenback, and Waitburg
Castle, where Martin Luther
was inprisoned and translated
the Bible.
Next, a week again in West
Berlin, famous for culture and
nigh life. Among other things,
museums will be studied.
Then the trip will leave for
Munich. Here there will be a
chance to visit German
students and classrooms.
From Munich the American
students will head for a
weekend in Vienna. They can
look forward to the Vienna
Choir Boys, the famous
Lippazanner horses, the night
life of Grinzing, a hike in the
beautiful Vienna woods and
the usual museums and opera
house.
The students will end their
six weeks together in Bern,
Switzerland. From here they
will all scatter around Europe.
Some past students have gone
to visit friends in Munich, and
others fan out to various
countries.
It is emphasized that one
does not need to speak
German to participate on this
trip. The trip is worth eight
credits at Guilford. In the past
students have been guided at
both elementary and advanced
levels to improve their skills
and fluency in the German
language.
Classes will meet whenever
possible in the morning from

What is a
by Howard Page
A number of people have
asked me what the SPS is, so I
have decided to answer them
and any others who were
wondering but didn't have the
courage to ask.
The SPS is a science
organization, I suppose you
could call it the Guilford
College Science Club, al
though to do so would be
incorrect. The SPS started as a
physics club but very quickly
expanded to include the other
sciences. We didn't stop with
the sciences. At this moment
there are no membership
requirements saying you must
have taken a science course to
come to the meetings (in fact,
there are no membership
requirements whatsoever). In
case you were wondering, SPS
does not "stand" for
anything, it stands for itself.
As to what the SPS does, we
sponsor trips to other schools
to hear science lectures, we
took a group to N.C. State to

see their nuclear reactor
facilities. We also sponsor star
parties, like the one coming up
Thursday, November 6. These
parties are held at 10:00 p.m.
at the telescope shed which is
behind Bryan and the
Maintenance Building.
This Friday, at 12:30 p.m.,
in one of the smail dining
rooms in the east end of the
cafeteria there will be an SPS
meeting. In fact, there will be
an SPS meeting every Friday.
At these meetings we plan to
get various speakers from the
real world of science to tell us
how it really it on the outside.
But we are open to any and all
suggestions. This Friday we
will be discussing a trip to
Washington, D.C. and Green
bank, West Virginia to see the
Smithsonians and a radio
telescope. The trip will be
from December 3-6. If you are
interested, please come Fri
days at 12:30 p.m. to the small
dining room in the cafeteria.
Just for Men
by Erin Dugan
George White House,
formerly occupied by the
Carolina Friends School stu
dents who were on a special
program with Guilford College
for early admission, was
opened again on October 4,
1975 for occupancy.
It was opened as a new
experimental men's coopera
tive living dorm. The
occupants of the dorm are Dax
Holsenbeck, nominated presi
dent of the dorm, John Coffey,
Steven Ellison, Bill Frye,
Bruce Hendricks, Dave Hur
ley, Phil Mann, Philip
Pendleton, Scott Rowe, Rich
ard Phillips, Clyde Watson,
and Don White.
The new dorm was opened
primarily to help unburden
some congestion that was
occurring in Milner. But it also
opened up a chance for
another type of life style for
men that had been existing for
women only on campus. Since
the house only services twelve
members it is not big enough
to enjoy all the advantages of
cooperative living, but it still
contains the basic atmosphere
of cooperation and together
ness.
The ideas expressed for
wishing to start this type of
living arrangement were: a
quiet atmosphere for study
and thought, to get away from
the sterility of the dorm
atmosphere of living, and to
be given a chance for more
responsibility in regards to
their living habits.
The occupants of the house
are currently responsible for
the cleaning of the house,
their behavior in relationship
to the other occupants, (since
there is no intern, or resident
coordinator) and the responsi
bility of keeping their
academics at the same level as
when they lived in Milner. The
Bikecentennial
Be a leader of our nation's
Bicentennial celebration.
Bikecentennial is seeking 1400
leaders to run the inaugural
tours in 1976 of the first
Trans-America Bicycle Trail.
Leaders will receive food,
lodging, and normal tour
services as well as a small
daily expense allowance, all
part of an adventure of a
lifetime.
Over 50 courses will be
offered at four major training
centers in Oregon, Colorado,
the MidWest and the
Mid Atlantic regions. The
seven-day sessions include
classroom and field instruction
in bicycling technique, safety,
repair, group dynamics,
touring and special bike and
camping skills and first aid. In

school furnishes basic furni
ture, cleaning utensils, and
the meal-plan at the cafeteria.
The cost of living at George
White House is the same as
Milner. This is because the
school is not sure of the
expenses involved with the
operation of running it as a
dorm.
In an interview with Bob
White, Director of Housing,
he expressed his ideas
regarding the experiment.
The idea of a coop for men
first occurred to Bob early in
the summer months. At the
beginning of the fall semester
notices were posted asking for
students who were interested
in a men's coop to sign up on a
list. There were approximately
twenty-one applicants signed
up. The applicants were each
interviewed by Bob. Then
twelve were selected to
participate in the experimen
tal dorm. The occupants range
in age from freshman to
seniors.
The goal of the house is to
provide a style of living
similiar to the "family-type"
setting. The house provides, a
closeness that only can be
achieved in a small surround
ing. The ideas of cooperation
and togetherness are empha
sized by the students. The.
members of the house enjoy a
quiet and peaceful atmos
phere in which to live.
Bob also expressed a
tremendous pleasure in the
results of the experiment thus
far. He felt that the goals and
responsibilities were being
met by the men. If these
results continue to be positive
this will prove to be a start for
the expansion of this type of
living for men. Guilford
College is one of the very few
to offer and try this new type
of living arrangement for men.
Hopefully, George White
House will be the building
block for further progress in
this direction.
addition to the training
centers, courses will be held at
Pt. Reyes, N. California;
Missoula, Montana; and in
New England from April 10
through 16, 1976. Cost,
including food, lodging, in
struction, books and mate
rials, is $75.00.
BIKECENTENNIAL, a non
profit, charitable organization,
is sponsoring the tours
varying in length from 12 to 82
days, covering up to 4,500
miles of America's most
historic and scenic regions.
