Mac Frampton and his tri
umvirate started the 1977-78
Guilford College Art series as a
success. Despite the program
listed in last week's Guilfordian,
the musical numbers were
diverse and unique ranging
from his arrangements of
Moussorysky's classical
Pictures in an Exhibition to
a rockin and reelin version of
Shaft.
The audience was composed
of various types and molds
including many elderly and
musically-oriented adults
and friends. Students seemed
to enjoy the performance
just as well although several of
them commented on the
actual talent of his triumvirate
as being disappointing.
These men all met in Atlanta
and have been playing together
approximately four years,
cutting five albums. The
drummer is comparatively new
and is currently working
on their new album which will
be released sometime in the
fall season.
The theme from "Rocky"
set the atmosphere for getting
into jazz rock renditions.
Relaxed and comforted, the
Guilford College, in its
committment to equality of
opportunity for all members of
the college community regard
less of race, color, religion,
national origin, or sex, has
established an Affirmative
Action Director and an
Affirmative Action Committee
to assist the director. The
responsibility for the develop
ment and implementation of
the college's affirmative action
policy resides with the Presi
dent of the College and, for
each specific department,
the designated administrator.
It is the responsibility of the
Affirmative Action Director
and Committee to provide the
coordination, initiative, and
advice necessary for imple
mentation of the policy.
The Affirmative Action
Director will coordinate the
activities of the committee,

members alert to any changes

audience then mellowed back
into Barry Manilow's, "I Write
the Songs," with Mac taking
off incredibly on the keys and
bass and drums attempting to
keep alongside of him. Yet
the harmony created was
complete and satisfactory,
thanks to the fine acoustics
of Dana Auditorium. Our
favorite number was taken
from Captain and Tenille's
"Come in From the Rain."
inspiring many emotions. Next
came a medley composed of
tempo shifts and mood swings
putting the audience some
where between the edge of
their seats and up in the
clouds. The crowd was going
beserk at the end of each overly
dramatically climaxed peak
and seemed to like Mac's
rather queen/vitted commen
tary. One of Bach's composi
tions with the addition of
bass and percussion added
depth and quality to the
composer's flawless style
being portrayed perfectly on
piano by Mac. It broke
into a bass solo with special
effects attempted and then
to drums, lacking totally in
audible appeal. Mac's own
arrangement of the theme
from Star Wars going into
a "Fiddler On The Roof,"
"Ragtime" and back into
"Star Wars," captivated the
audience. He then proceeded
with his own solo medley of
his idol, George Gershwin.
This was surprisingly delightful
and well done, ending the first
set.
The second set promised to
be more contemporary,

followed.
The Affirmative Action
Committee, composed of
concerned Guilford College
employees from various
seqments of the college, will
aid the director in his efforts
to insure affirmative action by
studying existing practices
of all departments at the college
to determine whether discrim
ination presently exists and
to propose offical action if so,
and by remaining sensitive to
possible actions or inactions
which result in discrimination.
The committee will also work

generated energy continuing
with the theme from The Spy
Who Loved Me entitled,
"Nobody Does It Better." This
could be disputed. However,
they came back in the finale
with a revision of a Russian
composer's Prelude to
Rock. The electric bass took
a spacey lead, and the drums
sounded overdone, while Mac
rocked out at the electric
piano. As an encore they
came back with "Ragtime"
where the eye could barely
follow the incredible speed of
Macs' hands. This left the
audience in an uproar and
the general consensous was
one of a pleasant evening,
thanks to Mac.
Talking with Mac after
the show we found out he
started playing at five years
old. When asked his
favorite number, he replied he
loved all of them and it was
hard to choose. The group
enjoyed playing at Guilford

concert.

students at Guilford College.
In order to establish an
Affirmative Action Plan, the
committee recommends the
following steps be taken:
1) that all department (ad
ministrative and academic)
and all faculty committees
engaged in areas affected by
affirmative action be asked
to respond to descriptions of
procedures for hiring, promo
tion, tenure, reappointment,
change of title, and admissions
of students in order to facilitate
the director in carrying out
his responsibilities.
2) that the college chart an
across the board job analysis
which compares the rank,
salary, and benefits of all
members of the college
community in order to make
possible a study of the question
of equality of rank and salary.
3) that the college, utilizing
the information gathered in (1)
and (2) set goals for all levels
of employees at the college.
Those goals should be based

History at Guilford
BY CAROLINE JONES
The History Department
consists of six full-time
staff members and two part
time members. Alexander
Stoesen, who was head of the
department last year, is on a
leave of absence. During his
leave, he will be tracing the
history of Guilford County
since 1900. Martha Cooley is
serving as the chairperson
of the department while he is
on his leave. Josephine
Moore, who had taught at
Guilford since 1964, retired
last year. James Gifford, a
member of the history staff
last year, resigned last
spring. He is now teaching
at Duke University.
These changes leave
Henry Hood and E. Kidd
Lockard to serve as full-time
professors of history. Two
members of the History staff
also work as professors of
Non-Western Studies. Edward
Burrows is one of these staff
members and the other is
Tindai Mutunhu. Professor
Mutunhu is a new
staff member at Guilford this
year and is teaching a course
in African History. The two
part-time staff members are
Josephine Moore and Sarah
Malino, who each teach one
course in American History.
With the exception of one,
all full-time staff members
haji/e received their Ph.D's. At

of Guilford as a Quaker school
and place a strong emphasis
on teaching.
There are between fifty and
sixty declared History majors
at Guilford. The department
graduates approximately
fifteen to twenty people each
year. Of last year's graduates
with history majors, three
have continued on to grad

If further schooling is not
preferred, the job openings
available to history majors
range from working in archives
to paralegals. Many govern
mental jobs are also open to
graduates with a history major.
Many businesses are happy to
have employees with a
good liberal arts background,
which the history department
helps to provide. According
to Professor Cooley, some
students prefer to double

or business management.
This year the department

will also include a curriculum
