"The Urban Center makes
it possible for working adults
to take classes at night as well

People from all walks of life
come to share an interest in
both self-improvement and

at Guilford College. Under
the terms of the grant, Rose's
regular responsibilities in the
library will be assumed by a
beginning professional
librarian.
The first year that the
Council on Library Resources
awarded these grants, more
than six hundred institutions
of higher learning applied and
only twelve received grants.
This year, thirteen were
awarded. Other recipients
have included Earlham
College, Beloit College,
Cornell University, and the
University of South Carolina.
Internships for Fall
If you are a student inter
ested in learning about the
workings of state government
first hand, a program sponsored
by the North Carolina Internship
Office (NCIO) may be for you.
Students at Guilford College
are eligible to apply for
six-week internships slated
for this fall, according to
Jim Caplanides, Director of
NCIO. "The program this Fall
will run from October 10
through November 16 and the
student can work in most any
area of the state, including
Raleigh," Caplanides stated.
Students do not receive a
stipend for the internship, but
are expected to arrange to
receive academic credit as a
result of their internship
experiences.
"Most schools in the
state encourage learning
experiences of this type,"
said Caplanides, "and the
staff at the NCIO can aid
interested students in setting
up these arrangements with
departments at the school.
In most cases, interns will
be required to spend 15 hours
per week "on the job" with
a maximum of 20 hours a
week.
If Men Were Angels . . .
This Saturday, there were
about 20 people gathered
about the "lake." People
were laughing, talking, and
most of them had bags. Sound
like a party? Not hardly.
It was a Biophile club-sponsor
ed clean-up. Going from
10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., a
total of about 18 medium-sized
trash bags of garbage were
collected. Most of the trash
was beer and soda-pop cans
and bottles, bottle caps, and
pop-tops. Quite a large
number of cigarette butts
were also found.
It is sad that people care
so little about the facilities
that they use. There are trash
cans at the pond, but people
insist on throwing their trash
down as soon as it is empty
or used up. Perhaps we are
lazy, or perhaps it is something
else. Maybe someday the
reasons for this behavior
will be found, and some way
Page 9
Caplanides said that students
may work with the NCIO staff
in gaining an internship at
a location near Guilford so
they can still live on or near
campus and take regular
courses, if they so desire.
Brochures explaining the Fall
Internship Program are
available at the Placement
Office on campus. Deadline
date for submitting an
application is September 15
and all applicants will be
notified of acceptance or
rejection by September 30.
For more information,
students should obtain a
brochure at the Placement
Office or write the NCIO, 401
N. Wilmington Street, Raleigh,
North Carolina 7601.
Each internship is designed
to provide the opportunity
for students to learn about
government and public service
professions by doing actual
work in a field related to their
academic or career interests.
Each student is matched with
an internship on a case by
case basis so that both the
student and the government
agency can obtain the maxi
mum benefit from the program.
to prevent it can be found. If
it is so much trouble to take
one's trash to a trash can,
then why bother to bring dis
posable containers, candy,
cigarettes etc. along? Is it
so much more of a hassle to
take trash out of recreational
area then it is to bring the
original contents into the
same area?
Whatever the reasons
behind littering, whatever
the solution, littering remains
a problem, both on the Guilford
College campus, and else
where. The Biophile Club,
being interested in the future
of our environment, and
trying to improve awareness
of the problems man confronts
in trying to preserve this
environment, decided to
help clean up a little, and we
got a lot. Perhaps the next 1
time you are down at the
pond, you will keep this in
mind.
