Womansprouts II
In March of last year, the
Women's Coalition published
Womansprouts, an anthol
ogy of poets at Guilford
College. Last year's publication
was in many respects
experimental. Woman
sprouts was the first attempt
to provide a poetic forum
solely for the women of
Guilford. Women were
responsible for the entire
book, from its conception
to its distribution. This
resulting work was a diverse
collection of women's poetry,
expressing a wide range of
experiences. The Women's
Coalition hopes to make
Womansprouts an annual
publication, and enourages all
women studnets and faculty
members to submit their
poetry for Womansprouts 11.
Womansprouts II will follow
the same format as the first
Geology Department
Activities
BY CHARLES ALMY
The Department of Geology
and Earth Sciences wishes to
extend an invitation, to any
one interested, to the following
activities this week.
On January 26, 1977, at
5 p.m., Mr. Stan Haines, a
Guilford alumnus (1973), and
geologist with the U.S.
Bureau of Mines, will discuss
job opportunities and duties of
geologists with the Bureau of
Mines - field work, mineral
commodities, and economics,
etc. His presentation
will be given at a dinner
meeting of the geology depar
ment in the large private
dining room in the cafeteria.
All who are interested are
invited to bring their trays
and join us.
Secondly, on January 30,
1977, the department will host
Guilford Acknowledged
Guilford was listed as one
of "10 colleges with a differ
ence" in an article in the
Jan. 10 issue of the Chicago
Tribune.
Each college was summar
ized in one paragraph under
the headline "10 colleges that
cost less to attend but don't
shortchange quality educa
tion."
The Tribune is one of a
chain of newspapers and
made the article available to
others in the chain. Thus
far, the college has received
a clipping of it from the
Birmingham News.
The Charlotte Observer has
requested and been sent
photographs of Guilford
publication. There is no
theme which must be followed;
the emphasis of Woman
sprouts II will be poetry and
photography. Black and white
photographs also are
encouraged to submit for
possible use as the cover of
Womansprouts 11.
The deadline for contri
butions of both poetry and
photography is February 18,
1977. Poetry and photography
can be taken to the Women's
Coalition office, the second
floor of Founders. If you are
not interested in submitting
poetry or photography for
possible inclusion in Woman
sprouts 11, but want to help
get the book put together
and distributed, please come
by the Women's Coalition
office or talk with Amy
Steerman, Hobbs 22.
the annual open house for tne
Piedmont Mineral Club from
1:30 - 4:30 in the geology
laboratories. If you are inter
ested in mineral collecting,
in lapidary work, or in jewelry
making, please come by.
Members of the club will be
present, and many are experts
in these areas. There will be
exhibits of cabachon-making,
displays of collections, refresh
ments, and fun.
Other activities for this
spring include seminars on
careers for women in the
geosciences, off campus
seminar to the Appalachian
Mountains (camping), two
weeks of study of specimens
of lunar rocks, and, immed
iately following graduation,

Bureau in New Garden Hall
would like to hear from
students who learn of the
article's appearance in any
newspapers.
The Tribune's awareness of
Guilford stemmed from the
school's selection by Changing
Times magazine last October
as one of three schools in
North Carolina the only
small private college with
below average cost and above
average academic excellence.
The Tribune writer contacted
Guilford, which answered
questions about the school
and supplied her with printed
information.

On the New Administration
• BY TOM EVANS
The next few months
should be interesting to say
the least. What should be
interesting is not just
the fact that there is a new
leader, but that one has the
support of the liberals and
Southern Democrats at the
same time. This is an admin
istration that has left us with
a stack of promises that may
be impossible to deliver. The
first 100 days just may turn out
to decide for sure if we are
any better off than before.
Jimmy Carter is an inter
esting man. The reason that
he won the Presidency mostly
stems from the fact that he
has a great talent to tell people
at a given moment exactly
what they want to hear. Carter
did not win the respect from
the powerful to send him to
the White House, what Carter
did win was the acceptance of
the average man who has
really very little to do With
government. He did not win
the respect of the McGoverns
or the Udalls. What he did
win were their compromised
votes when they sold out.
The recent pardon by Carter
demonstrates his ability to try
and satisfy both sides at once.
This r eminds me of the stands
that Carter has taken during
the campaign. Carter tried
to attract the liberals by vowing
to cut the defense budget
then keeps the conservatives
calm by only proposing token
cuts that do not reduce
spending toward the real waste
of oversaturated weapons.
Carter also tried to apply this
same type of reasoning to
abortion.
When it comes to Carter's
cabinet choices, we fall into
his trusting syndrome.,
McCarthy insisted that all
candidates should give clues
to the people that the candi
date would choose for his
cabinet. Nobody listened and
look what happened. Three
of Carter's "new faces" come
from the old Vietnam-days'
establishment.. Brown and
Vance were two of the

CONTRIBUTION
Due to the lact of control
over the dark room facilities
in Founders, it is necessary for
anyone who wants to work
with black and white, in the
facility, to join the Campus
Association of Photographers.
Upon joining your name will
be placed on a list at the
information desk, in Founders,
allowing you to recieve the key.
No fees will be charged this
year for darkroom use. The
only requirement or qualifica
tion for persons using the
facility is that they have had
previous darkroom experience.
We realize that this limits
those interested in photo
graphic work, and are planning
on offering workshops to
aid these people hopefully
during this semester. If this
does not evolve this semester,
we will offer them next year
and Marty Zelt will probably
be teaching another black and
white course, which would
give more than adequate skills
to any individual interested in
darkroom work.
If you are interested in
joining the C.A.P. please
contact Mae Sexauer (Binford
109), Tom Loveless (English
13), Jeff Dale (English 6) or
Letitia Johnson (Bryan).
architects of the Cambodian
bombing. Chales Schultze
suddenly went blind when
billions of illegal dollars
were spent on these bombings.
Frankly, things just don't
seem that they will get any
better. When Carter's
presidential campaign is
compared to his campaign for
Governor in 1970, things just
are not the same. The blacks,
not surprisingly, did not see
much in this friend of Lester
Maddox. The man we have
as President formerly described
himself as being "redneck"
unlike the image that he por
trayed to us in 1976.
Despite the fact that I feel
the American pubic should
feel deceived and lied to,
there is some hope. The hope
is that at least Carter can
again do something as well
as the fact that he picked
someone for his cabinet who
had enough sense to support
someone else first besides
Jimmy Carter for President.
