The Guilfordian
Saving Mary Hobbs
BY JENNY WIEBLER
Even though I wake up with
my bed shaking and I know
that I haven't deposited a
quarter for any Magic Fingers,
I will continue to love Mary
Hobbs Hall. Presently, we
have A.J. Hewitt working
from the break of dawn until
the sunset (or so it seems),
beginning the long awaited
renovation of the oldest origin
al building on campus. The
love of Mary Hobbs is constant
and the interest in preservation
is endless; it seems soon that
the dorm will be able to live
a lot longer.
I am one of forty-two
residents this year. If I were
not going to London next
semester, I would be one of
two people surviving four
years there. It was not with
out misgivings that I chose to
go to England; Hobbs has
truly been home to me. My
images of Guilford are very
much integrated with the
only cooperative women's
dorm on campus. I am sure
I am not alone with this love
and loyalty. In fact, I think
we Hobbits proved our
devotion by retaining our
unique unity during the fire
after Thanksgiving. Just
last week we were able to
visibly and ultimately mone
tarily show our support for the
dorm by presented Grimsley
Hobbs with a check for 1500
dollars. This money for the
renovation was not from bake
sales (although we've tried
that, too). We made a deal
with Jim Newlin that if we
cleaned up the dorm after the
fire, we could use the money
saved from a professional job
and present the money saved
as our contribution to the
renovation. We did indeed
earn that money; cruise the
first floor halls and notice how
shiny they are that was an
afternoon in the middle of
exam week and just my

humble contribution. There
were many more hours devoted
to work.
The women of Mary Hobbs
in 1977 are just continuing
a spirit which started with the
woman for whom the building
is named. If you happen to
see the booklet that was on
sale this past Alumni-Parents
Weekend, you would notice
reminiscences from women
who graduated from Guilford
in 1914 on. The dorm has
changed in ways more than
name (it used to be called
New Garden Hall) but the
unity still exists and people
are anxious to see it preserv
ed.
In order to keep the dorm,
many improvements have to
be made. $350,000 are neces
sary to meet building and fire
safety requirements; all the
money has not yet been
attained. Many people have
been working towards this
goal and obviously they are
optimistic that the money
will be collected since the
construction work has started.
Eventually the kitchen and
dining room will be moved to
the basement and rooms will
be created so that the dorm
can accomodate over fifty
people. The place might look
slightly different next year but
it will stand and operate with
the same cohesive spirit.
Mary Hobbs Hall began as a
place to house women inter
ested in an education. It has
been an innovation housing
opportunity ever since. If I
may get sentimental for a
minute, it has definitely been
a place where I could grow
with the help of many wonder
ful women and I would not live
anywhere else on campus. I
admit this is prejudiced, but I
am proud of my bias and I
know it will never die.

The Wit and
Wisdom
of BHTC
BY DONALD L. GIBBON
As a second exam in my
BHTC section I asked that
each student try to develop a
set of appropriate aphorisms
(pitfyy, sometimes funny,
sometimes acid, but always
brief sayings) to describe the
works which we had read
during the middle part of the
course. The results were so
good that I'd like to share
some of them with you.
Remember that the selections
used were Brecht's Mother
Courage, Camus's The Guest,
The Autobiography of Ma/com
X, Keniston's article on
liberated young women, selec
tions from Tinder's Political
Courage on government and
power, and parts of Hobbes
and Locke.
Freedom is sometimes as
worthless as a two-headed
coin.
Society is the one in the
black hat.
Identity is great, if the real
one will ever stand up.
Ron Massey
Want to take a chance in
the game of life?
Larry Davis
One choice is not enough
and two too many!
If war is not justified in the
end because of its outcome,
then why is it justified in the
beginning?
If we all had transparent
skin, somebody would figure
out a way of classifying that
transparency.
Robert Willis
You are only better
when someone else is worse.
To get ahead you have to
step on someone's toes . . .
dead or alive!
Roles are meant to be cast.
Elaine Smith
Man lives in a grave; he has
only a choice of whether to
sit or stand.
Fire is creation instead of
destruction
Lili Wright
One must fight to be free,
but to be free, one must unite
with the "enemy."
