Page 2 To Frank Keegan: Who in the hell are you calling a moron? And, Frank, if, as you say, your"... heart goes out to the sensitive, the young, the weak, and the immature ..." on our campus, how can you address them in such an aggressive, indeed heartless manner? Oh boy, you sure blew it right out the window on that one. I am so disappointed to know that this unpleasant sort of hostility and tactless ness abide in this most friendly community. —a junior at Guilford who sees nothing to gain by offering his name Students, I am presently serving time at the Green Haven Correc tional Facility. I am 24 years old. I am seeking to get together with anyone who wishes to maintain a corres pondence relationship with me. If anyone is interested in corresponding with me, please write to the address you find at the close of this letter. Thank you for taking time to read my letter. Peace, Jimmy James Hughes Drawer B No. 24044 Stromville, New York 12582 G-2-223 This I Would Be BY JAMES HUGHES, 24044 This I would be Just a little bit wiser A little bit quicker to see What others' need most When the going is rough and the helping out is left up to me. This I would be Just a little bit stronger A little more willing to try so I'd never let even the tiniest chance To make someone happy slip by. This I would be Just a little bit kinder A little more eager to spare An encouraging smile Or a few words of praise To show someone else that I care. This I would be If I just had my way AH this and a whole lot more too For each one would bring me a little bit closer To being a good friend like you! (Jimmy) Letters to the Editor To the Editor: There is an important event taking place this week on campus. Much has been said about it to date and much more still has to be stated. The senate elections are slated to begin on February 23 with voting continuing through six o'clock on the 24. The campaign trail is always one of conflict and intense political emotion, but it is important to understand why we have elections. Involve ment in the electoral process is one which is guaranteed to all citizens of the United States. It is a responsibility to those individuals to cast their votes when given the opprotunity. Of important concern are the issues of experience and capabilities. Election time should not be an occasion for personality contests. It is a time to make a rational judge ment about the future of your country. Elections should create leadership and uniform ity among its participants. Though thoughts and ideas may differ the process is such that an integration of thoughts must be allowed. After all, the future well being of a nation is what elections are all about. A direct parallel can be drawn to Guilford College. Animosities and personalities must be eschewed. We must select leadership that can be cohesive and will integrate the diversive thoughts. It is important to see what candi dates have done in the past: have they taken the initiative to become involved in school activities? Do they have the capabilities and experience that the office calls for? It is important for every one to examine the candidates and decide from a rational view which ticket is qualified. I urge you all to vote on February 23 and 24. And I urge you to make your vote count. Respectrutty, Eliott R. Good "VANESSA IS SIMPLY 6REAT" LIFE Magazine REDGRAVE ||a|. "THE LOVES m ~W OF ISADORA" |B §{ tatari uauhN tk tons* hckts IN. • ncwßcoor w [M] Dana Auditorium Tuesday, Feb. 15 8:15 Students 25C Adults 750 The Guilfordian To the Editor: Response to Frank Keegan: Each year the battle continues over Guilford's visitation policy. Student tempers rise but basically nothing imporves. Face it comrades, our plea to be treated as adults is falling on deaf ears. Simply put if you don't like Guilfords puritanical policies you had better consider transfering to the modern world. In last weeks Guilfordian I found Frank Keegan's comments quite amusing. He concludes his letter to the editor stating that "my heart goes out to the sensitive, the young, the weak, and the immature should visitation regulation be dropped across the campus." This is a pretty dire description of those students whose so called rights Frank has chosen to champion. I agree with Frank that a society has an obligation to protect its minorities, but Frank Keegan is describing people that exhibit neurotic tendencies and not those who are in the minority because their ethnic backgrounds dis tinguish them from the WASP majority. Why is it that those of us here at Guilford that have mastered the ability of talking to our roommates or enjoying the company of the opposite sex must be subjected to rules designed to protect those whose toilet training was traumatic. There are a variety of institutions much better equipped than Guilford to handle such misfits. I graduate this year and in the future when someone asks where I went to school, I hope to be able to answer with pride Guilford College. But if present trends continue claiming that one is a graduate of Guilford College will carry as much prestige as saying that one is a graduate of Ken Kesey's mental institution. Yours, Big Nurse I There seems to be some concern among the commu nity which the Guilfordian serves about the policy pertaining to editorial reply. The policy which we at the Guilfordian operate under is one in which we allow any individual who submits a piece which reads as editorial opinion to reply immediately to criticism of that expressed opinion. This is a privilege available to any member of the community. Any individual can submit an editorial opinion and if that opinion is criticized, the Guilfordian extends an invitation to the editorialist to counter the criticism in that same issue at their own initiative, We apologize for any mis understanding.
