At the beginning of the fall
term, the Library purchased a
set of video recording
equipment in order to add a
considerable degree of versa
tility to the collection of
audio-visual resources on
campus. The heart of the
video set is a cassette recorder
which connects to a black and
white television monitor.
Using the black and white
camera, faculty members and
students have been able to
produce and record for future
use their own television
programs—group discussions,
physics lab reports, special
presentations, and guest
lectures. Another important
capability is the recording of
broadcast television pro
grams. A special timing
device enables the system to
activate at a set time, to record
a one hour program, and to
shut off, all without human
assistance. (Automatic record
ing sessions are limited to one
hour by the tensile strength of
the tape in the cassettes.)
Manual operation of the
equipment permits the record
ing of longer programs.
Throughout the semester,
the video equipment has been
used to record some of the
major educational television
series, most notably The
Ascent of Man. Guilford
College has been fortunate in
obtaining several films from
this series for showing on
campus. But now, instead of
having to order the films
several weeks ahead of
viewing time, members of the
college community can see
any of these programs simply
by reserving the video
equipment.
The Library has also
recorded five parts of the
seven-part anthropological
film series, Tribal Eye.
Examining the art work of
various tribes around the
world, the series provides
valuable insight into their
cultures. The titles of the
programs now in our collection
are: "Behind the Mask,"
"Slit of the Sun," "Man
Blong Custom," "Woven
Gardens," and "Across the
Frontiers."
Another television series
which the Library has been
taping for our collection of AV
resources is the Classic
Theatre series. As the name
implies, the plays selected for
showing are those commonly
read in drama courses, and
performed on stage with some
degree of regularity. Nonethe
less, we do not see many good
performances of these plays in
the Greensboro area during
any four-year period. Conse
quently, our video recordings
of these plays can serve as
useful supplements to Guil
ford English and drama
courses, or just as exception
ally good entertainment for
students in general. The plays
we have already added to our
collection include Shake
speare's Macbeth, Marlowe's
Edward D, Webster's The
Duchess of Maifi (this is a
particularly fine performance
of a difficult play), Sheridan's
The Rivals, and Ibsen's The
Wild Duck and Hedda Gabler.
Yet to be taped are Chekhov's
The Three Sisters, Synge's
The Playboy of the Western
World, and Shaw's Mrs.
Warren's Profession.
Campus use of the video
recording equipment has been
heavy this semester, and
sometimes two or more faculty
members have wanted to use
the equipment at the same
time. With this problem in
mind, the Library is formulat
ing a policy which would
provide for the optimal
combination of both recording
and playing times. It would be
better for a group of people to
The Guilfordian
view a particular tape at the
same time than to try to
arrange to see it individually.
Faculty members could divide
large classes into sections and
have the taped played at
different times. (About twenty
people can view the TV
monitor at one time.)
Individual use of the equip
ment is by no means
precluded, but it must be
scheduled around other
reserved periods. To make the
necessary arrangements, call
Lois Romine or Damon Hickey
(ext. 51). Then come to the
Library and enjoy the show.
Epicure Clamp Down
The main change, however,
will be in the area of
discipline. The food commit
tee suggested that those who
use a fraudulent ID, both in
the Grill Room and in the main
cafeteria be brought before
the Judiciall Board and be
fined a sum varying according
to the seriousness of the
offense. As of the present,
offenders found guilty have
bee made to pay for the food

Report No. 1 by
Green Man No. 2
We arrived as the inhabi
tants were preparing for the
36 day festival of season to be
jolly. The celebration begins
after The Day of the Turkey.
Parades are held and speeches
given commemorating the
annual slaughter of the evil
Turkeys, whose bodies are
then devoured.
Immediately following,
though in some cases
preceding the Day of the
Turkey, tinsel and banners are
unfurled in areas designated
as Centers and Malls. Because
of the enormous volume of
activity in these areas we
surmised that they must be
the focal point of the
celebrations.
Hundreds of thousands of
devotees flock to the Centers
and Malls to perform
ritualistic duties at the
temples. Those with young
offspring wait in long lines to
have their young blessed by
rotund, white-bearded priests
dressed in red outfits and
pointed caps. The youngsters'
joy is such that some were
observed annointing the
priests legs with liquid bodily
excretions.
The faithful jolt and jostle
amid rack after rack of sacred
objects labeled Shickhair
groomer, Yardley cologne,
Bigwheel, etc. After selecting
an object or objects partici
pants stand in long lines
waiting to pay homage to the
god CASHREGISTER. The
taken.
When this suggestion was
taken before the Senate on
Wednesday evenings, it was
found that a committee
headed by Elwood Parker had
already asked for a system
revision of the Honor System.
The cafeteria's proposal would
probably be included in this
revision.

god emits a ringing sound at
which time the worshipper
offers decorated paper and
shiny metals. Those who
belong to the Mastercharge or
BankAmericard sects need not
make offerings to CASHREG
ISTER to receive the sacred
objects.
Thousands of young Pine
trees are sacrificed, their
bodies garishly decorated and
prominantly displayed in
family dwellings. On the 29th
day of the festival the sacred
objects are distributed to
family members. In some
dwellings close feelings were
expressed by family members,
in others the day was spent
adoring the sacred objects.
Six days later the ending of
the festival period is celebrat
ed by the adults of the
community who attend gather
ings at which the holy juices
are inbibed. At a specified
time of the night those at the
gatherings press their oral
apexures together.
The potency of the holy
juices is attested by the fact
that on their journeys home
many partakers are inspired to
destroy their motorized vehi
cles. Hundreds even give their
lives during this bizarre ritual.
The last day of the festival is
spent watching images dash
about on viewer screens. Loud
noises are discouraged by
those who attended the
gatherings of the previous
night.

using a friend's ID, or
otherwise arranging it, will

police.
The next meeting of the
Food Committee will be on
Wednesday, January 27,
1976, in the small back dining
room. As with all Food
Committee meetings it is open
to all interested persons.
