Page 6 Ed Burrows Receives Rare Chance to Visit China by Annette Zitver Green On this coming May 9 lr. Ed Burrows of Guilford's History Department will leave for a three week excursion in the People's Republic of China. He and twenty-one other North Caro lina Professionals make up the extraordinarily privileged group which recently obtained permission from the Chinese Government to make the trip. SERGEI EISENSTEIN'S /Qj, ALCXANDGR NGVSKt 6uiLford One of the great epic films of all time, Eisenstein's ALEXANDER NEVSKY portrayed an incident in Soviet history that had tremendous impact on . audiences of its day. In the Thirteenth Century, Russia was invaded by a js*?yiv German army which was defeated by Prince Alexander Nevsky and his people. In 1938 this was not only a prophetic warning of Hitler's coming but it rallied considerable patriotism for the Russian cause.

These include the ancient capital of Sian and the Yunan Caves where the Chinese Communist Underground headquartered until the end of World War 11. Also of great interest will be the Communist operation of social institutions such as health care, educa tion, sanitation, and housing. The means of transportation within China is also not yet determined. Dr. Burrows would prefer train to air travel so that they can see more of the countryside. Plans are being made through a Washington, D.C. travel agency which is in contact with a Chinse Government Official. The travelers will be supplied with a guide from the Official China Travel Organization which, Film List The Guilford College Film Series announces movies to be shown through April. All will start at 8:15 p.m. and most will be in Sternberger Auditorium. February *ns are: Feb. 3 :erge Eisenstein's 1939 Russian epic "Alexander Nevsky."

Do you enjoy a good bull session after a film? If you do, then this semester's Tuesday night film series ought to be fun for you. Beginning with Alexander Nevskyon February 3, interested students may join Gary McCown's "Art of Film" class for coffee and conversation in the 'Passion Pit' following the film showing. According to Gary McCown, the discussions will focus on whatever the students find interesting and worth talking about. He regards his own role as more of a facilitator than discussion leader. Since the Tuesday night films are drawn from many cultures and created by many outstanding film directors such as ingmar Bergman, Frederico Fellini, Akira Kuro sawa, and Elia Kazan, the February 3, 1976 according to Dr. Burrows means they can expect a biased view of the country. Aside from the group's scheduled travels, Dr. Bur rows hopes to be able to visit Korea on his own and possibly to extend his stay in Hawaii upon their return (but jokingly warns that if he does we may never see him again). Dr. Burrows is grateful for the financial help he is receiving from Guilford to meet the $2,700 cost of the trip. He will utilize part of his Excellence in Teaching Award money, some Kenan Grant funds and, with the college's permission, his professional meeting allotment. Donning their 1976, Red, White and Blue, Official Bicentennial Passports, the Tar Heel travelers will leave on May 9, stop over in Japan, and arrive in Peking on May 13.

One Tuesday it might be the theology of a film; the next week it might shift to the psychological implications of the film. A speical added attraction will be the appearance of guest participants from the Guilford faculty and - from other institutions. Among the guests will be Damon Hicky of the Guilford Library, Profes sor Claude Chauvinge of UNC-G, and Martha Cooly of the Guilford Department of History.
