EDITORIAL As Christmas time approaches, different people are affected in different ways. In the U.S. there is a "melange" of commercialism, nostalgia and merriment. Underlying it all should be the feeling of "Peace on Earth, Goodwill Towards AH" as people are reminded by tradition of what churches and synagogues alike have taught them. In African countries, Japan and other parts of the world, "Christmas" as such is not native to the land. However, people the world over do set aside some part of the year for a celebration of the good things in their lives, and the bond between all world inhabitants is once again renewed. So, no matter how you say it...there's always the one idea - joy, understanding and the celebration of one's blessings. Have a pleasant Christmas! 1 GOIQK Esperanto —■3 Korean txPiSTHOSKO 7? fjL FRO H LIC HE W&'NACHTEN U Bulgarian NJeMflKwfWlNl no±p. i WOTE ! ' Swahili 1 OfflLrt-Ch What's Happening With the Concert Committee by Geoff Wilkinson The concert committee, who brought you Papa John Creac and Mike Williams needs your help to produce high quality concerts next semester. This semester's committee is almost non-existent. We need people to find, plan and run concerts if they are going to be produced at all. If you'd like to join the committee, come to a meeting TONIGHT at 6 o'clock in the passion pit. In a Union executive meeting, it was decided that we would stick to the mini-concert concept. We feel that we will be able to present more and varied concerts from bluegrass to jazz and rock with anything in between. We have about $3,200 to spend next semester which really isn't enough to gamble on a big concert. We lost about that much on Papa John alone. It will take a lot of work to present three or four good concerts next year. We need people to find acts, plan shows (which starts weeks before the concert) and we need people to help run the concert itself. It is interesting work and it provides many opportunities to meet and work with people in the entertainment business. The Guilfotfam ft Letters to the editor "Its name is Public Opinion. It is held in "^•lW': ' : reverence. It settles everything. Some think r . it is the voice of God." Mark Twain^ Dear Editor: I am writing this letter in utter disgust of the annual that was recently, (after several months delay) given out. I feel sure I am not only writing this for myself, but for many who are quite disap pointed. First of all, I feel an annual should exemplify several aspects of the College and the community to which it belongs. I feel certain this is not typified in pictures of toilets, students who don't even attend Guilford, trees, old buildings, signs and just plain filth. I could name a lot more, but I guess I shouldn't have to. I say this represents the college I've attended for 3 years is a shame. An annual should represent the students and activities (to mention a few) that make it known. Senate Minutes 12/3 Elwood Parker, chariman of Student Affairs Committee, presented Senate with Judicial Addenda to the Guilford to the Guilford College Codebook. The addenda was written by the Trial Board of the Student Affairs Committee and con sists of a list of graded penalties for each violation of the College policy as written in the Codebook. There is also a page clarifying the Honor Code and its implications to both academic and social situations. The addenda is not in its final form and Elwood Parker requested imput from the Senate. It was suggested that the penalties listed be made minimums to allow more flexibility to the Judicial Board. It was also suggested that penalties for firearm and fire alarm violations be made more severe. It should be made clear that this addenda does not involve added rules It will also give you a chance to make sure some of your union money is spent the way you want it to be spent. The meeting is at 6 o'clock TONIGHT in the passion pit. THE GUILFORD IAN Box 17717, GUILFORD COLLEGE, GREENSBORO, N.C. 27410, Phone 855-9158 "All the news that fits" Editor Pat Townsend Consulting Editor David Green News Editor Forrest Hughes Business Manager Bob Gold Staff.... Chris Benfey, Annette Green, Sally McAlister, Jeanne Ye PI.-' " Randy Catoe, Don White The senior picture section was sick. There were several layouts, if you could call them that, that cut off good pictures. I can say it will be very doubtful if I'll even consider having my senior picture taken next year, knowing there's a possibility it may be cut in half. There was a very poor representation of class organ zations. Only drama was really pictured, and even then no names of plays and the casts were listed. There were no colored pictures, except for the front & I dare say it won't be considered a cover for very long - mine's already coming apart from the binding. If you would say it's because of lack of funds, I'll come back and say I, as well as others, would gladly pay a little extra to have or a change in enforcement of rules; it is simply a statement regarding penalties after a person is found guilty by the Judicial Board. When the addenda is in its final form it will again be presented to the Senate for approval. Jeff Martin came before the Senate with a proposal from the Food Committee concern ing consequences of stealing food, misuse of student ID's and abuse of the white cards. He explained that the Food Service is allotted a set amount of money in which to operate for the entire year, and that this amount is quickly dwindling due to the above reasons. To help cut down on dishonesty, two checkers will be at the door and a loud fire alarm will be installed at the side door. The Food Commit tee also proposed that a stiff penalty be instituted for the offenders. It was suggested that the penalty be imple mented into the list of penalties presented by the Student Affairs Trial Board. Ken Schwab will be going on sabbatical next semester and will be replaced by Dick Woodward. Ken - we thank you for everything! There will be no more Senate meetings until the Wednesday when we get back from vacation. December 9, 1975 a decent annual published. You cannot say either, that there was no interest. As far as athletics were concerned - the section was repulsive. I can't believe the guys & girls who give their time & talent to participating in events do it just to please theirselves. They do it to represent Guilford College, and what is their reward??? Football - they had their best record (6-3-1) up to last year, following a 3 year losing streak. There was no team picture, no schedule, no season record, no write-ups - NOTHING. They also had Coach of Year (Carolina's Conference, NAIA, District 26, Area 7 Coach of Year, and Kodak Coach of Year) in Coach Dennis Haglan. They also had a "first" in Guilford College history - the first time Guilford has ever been invited to a post season bowl (Poultry Bowl). The baseball team, who was 2nd in the Conference and went to District Playoffs and also had a Carolinas Coach of Year in Coach Stuart Maynard - had no team picture, no season record, no schedule, no write-up - NOTHING. The Basketball team - who for several years has brought attention from all over the U.S. to Guilford, was number 1 in Carolinas Conference, had another Coach of the Year in Coach Jack Jensen and was one game away from going to the NAIA nationals in Kansas City - no team picture, no season record, no schedule, no Continued on Page 4 Reading Stohlers' Hugh and Sara Stohler invite members of the Guilford community to an "open reading" of W.H. Auden's "Christmas Oratorio", to be held on Thursday, Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at their home. The "Christmas Oratorio" is a verse drama in which all the classic Christmas cast appear in contemporary form: An gels, Wise Men, Sheperds, Herod, the Star, Mary and Joseph. All who come to the reading are invited to participate by reading the various parts. This annual reading is a tradition which the Stohlers and friends have observed for seventeen years at Christmas time. The Stohler home is at 5710 West Friendly, adjacent to the gates of the campus. Refreshments will be served.
