January 25,1977 Milner Speaks Up BY MIKE KINNAIRD Last semester, there was a general consensus among the House Councilors, the Presi dent, and the Coordinator of Milner that the campus was not made aware enough of what Milner, as a dorm, was doing. It was decided that this semester an attempt should be made to inform the campus of our activities, and I agreed to write an article for each issue of The Guilfordian. This week, I will concentrate mainly on what is planned for this semester so far. Interest has been expressed by people in Milner to create a program of mini-courses, in various subjects. The courses would be taught on a volun tary basis by anyone willing to teach them. The classes would meet only a few times, depending on the subject. This idea is still in the planning stages and we are open to suggestions for classes and volunteers are needed for teaching. We would like to encourage the entire campus to participate in this project, and we feel that the classes can be very useful and fulfilling to all of those involved. If you have any ideas and/or suggestions about courses, or would like to volunteer to teach one, see either Mike Kinnaird in Milner 349 or Reid Moore in Milner 209. More information will Edward Asner appears in Roots on ABC this week "Roots" Edward Asner played the captain of a slave ship in the first episode of Roots, a 12- hour television series, that was seen on ABC TV January 23. The series, based on the best seller of the same name, concerns itself with the experiences of a Black family from the 1750's to the present. The dramatizations offer a different historical perspective than is usually given of life be given later as to a list of courses, teachers, times, places, etc.... A footsball contest will be held later on this semester in Milner. The winners will receive either trophies or placards. Because the foots ball table was paid for by Milner, and because Milner funds pay for it's upkeep, a nominal entry fee might be placed on all non-Milner entries. Everyone is encour aged to practise up and enter into the "Mister Footsball" Tournament. Some changes have been made in the student govern ment of Milner recently. Don Hemrich replaced Walter Fox as the House Councilor from 2nd North, and Reid Moore was elected by the House Council to take over for Dick Parry, who resigned the presidency. Reid will remain in office until the spring elections are held. Reid's first official action was to re write the Milner Constitution, which needed some semantic changes. The new constitu tion goes before the Commun ity Senate next week, and approval is expected. Look for Milner Speaks Up each issue of The Guiffordian to keep in with what is going in at Milner. See you next issue. in America from colonial days to the present. Fred Hunt and Jim Gifford are offering a course inspired by Roots. The course uses the book and TV series but is augmented by academic materials that provide the necessary historical back ground.
