Page 2 Letters to the Editor The following is an edited version of a letter sent to Guilford College Community members in mid-January. Dear members of the Faculty, The Student Body, and the Administrative Staff: Once again the Dana Scholarship Committee must begin its evaluation of nominees for Dana Scholar ships for the next academic year. It is very important that you participate in the nomination of the Dana Scholars. Dana Scholars must meet the following criteria: 1. Completion of at least one year at Guilford College with a minimum cumulative average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale at the end of the spring semester, 1977. 2. Qualities of leadership in college and/or community activities demonstrated in such ways as: a. Exceptional academic performance b. Effective participation in campus government c. Effective performance in college committees and organ izations d. Recognizable influence toward a better college com munity within various groupings (athletic teams, dormitory groups, organiz ations, and clubs) e. Effective performance in carrying out the respon sibilities of an elective office or appointive position, including those for which remuneration has been received. f. Effective performance of some community activity. More Visitation To the Editor: I'm gald to see somebody finally making an issue out of the visitation regulations that are in effect for campus housing. It is a most welcome gesture that somebody finally recognizes that those of us here at Guilford really can act like adults most of the time. The rules about visitation are nearly impossible to enforce, partially because interns have been known to sleep (and some even quite soundly) and secondly, because nobody really gives a hoot about their enforce ment unless they are obliged to do so. Barbara Gottfried is absolutely right. If anybody really cares, they will do something about it, but that is a person-to-person situation needing resolution and not needing provision - for by a blanket "insurance policy." If I am going to be held responsible for getting labs and papers in on time, I should think that the college would give me credit for being able to get myself into bed on time, that is to say, protect the more inalienable of my rights, such as the privacy of my own room. And if that is not their purpose in developing such regulations, I resent the implication that my private life consists of orgy after orgy after orgy. And even if that is not the thinking that steered their decision about visitation regulations, I still do resent their butting their noses into my private life. Whatever they might be thinking! A visitation violation is an essentially victimless violation. And if someone is victimized by a violation of it, they have many worse problems than being a third wheel in a bicycle act. Someone needs to encourage them to stand up and ask for what is theirs and not to cater to them for their inability to do it themselves through such an absolutely arbitrary regulation. Guilford College is composed of a body of students, not parents or trustees and we would like to see a little more satisfaction on our part about some of the things that are expected of us. And yes, this great Quaker tradition. Well, get your mind out of the gutter and relieve mine from a myriad of oppressive and silly regul ations. I'm in college, and it is really high time that I be allowed to make some of the more important decisions in my life such as when my guests should be leaving or staying! Roomeo men in her life. One to take her*., one to love her -and one to kill her.

Atheist Acre BY YOUR BELOVED ATHEIST INCOGNITO It is pertinent to note at this point in my career that God has decided to stake out a little corner of my acre, and this is, for its own sake, all well and good. What God may not realize, however, is that the rest of the whole acre is mine. I grant Him squatter's rights, but bear in mind that He is a squatter all the same. If God would only be content to sit in His corner peaceably I could go on appreciating Him without duress. But no, God has it His way, just like Burger King, and keeps sending obnoxious little pamphlets, sermons, and radio broadcasts all of them hell-bent, as it were, on driving me up a wall. I appreciate His enthusiasm, but let's face facts: I type my own papers, take my own exams, write my own work and am otherwise indepen dent of the desire to require His help in such matters. Nonetheless, I continue to be bombarded with these little tracts and people too, calling themselves Khristians. A particular mathematical relationship exists between the personal characteristics of these people: love + courage + concern = obnoxiousness. A lacking ingredient in the list is wisdom, doubtessly. Badgering an atheist results only in a badgered atheist. Rarely does it yield a new soul for Christ or type my papers. And what does God think about His little heavenly sun beams that are giving my soul skin cancer? By chance I manager to find the Scoundrel and asked Him just that. And God said, on the first day of the rest of my life, "It's all a matter of love." If love means leaving me alone then I'm all for it. Don't bother to pray for me; I'm a big girl Dana Scholarships To be considered for a Dana Scholarship, a student must be nominated by a faculty member, by a member of the administrative staff, or by a fellow student. In addition, all nominees must submit in writing a list of all the special activities and responsibilities they have undertaken during their tenure at Guilford College, as well as community activities they wish considered. A Dana Scholarship is for one eyar. It may be renewed, however, at the discretion of the Dana Scholarship Committee, provided that the Scholar continues to meet all the criteria and that all of the procedures shown above are followed, including renomin ation. Dana Scholars receive grants ranging from S2OO to full tuition, depending on each now and have been praying for myself for some time. At times, the Squatter and I get along quite well as long as -His sunbeams aren't running interference for Him. In His own sweet time God will come to all of us perhaps even the Khristians. Let there be silence and love while we wait. Amen. Donning the garb of a very pacifistic atheist, I return to the world and the Khristians.

While the Dana Scholarship Committee selects the Dana Scholars, the Student Aid Committee is charged with determining the amount of the grant given to each Scholar. A list of students currently maintaining a cumulative average of 3.0 (or in the case of freshmen and transfers of less than one year at Guilford College, 2.8) is available at the Information Desk, in Founders Hall, along with nomination forms. Please send your nomin ations to the Financial Aid Office in time to arrive not later than 5:00 p.m., February 11, 1977. No nominations will be accepted after that hour. Additional nomination forms may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office. Nominate Todayl to gain my soul I'll keep waging one to keep it. After all, it is my acre. Into the lion's den I go, and while I'm not exactly whistling "Dixie," I can't say I'm singing "The Old Rugged Cross" either. God, why don't you tell them to get off my cloud? Pat: Many happy returns of the year! May your rabbit eat only carrots and your chow only gas!
