The good is oft ne'er with their bills. So it is with Southern 8e11... The noble company Hath told you students are deceptive If it were so, it was a grievous fault. And grievously hath students answered it. . . Here, under leave of the Ist Amendment and the rest {For Southern Bell is a respectable company; And as such, honors the constitution and its rights) Come I to speak in the funeral of fair business practices . ..

Yet Southern Bell says students are deceptive; And, sure, it is a respectable company. I speak not to disprove what Southern Bell demands, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did pay them once, not without cause; What cause then blinds you to submit to their requests? 0 judgement! Thou art fled to brutish beasts. And companies have lost their reason . . .

This is a significant increase in off campus students compared to previous years. This year the day student Senators intent to drum up representation in student affairs, student committees, and as well, student life. In other words, you must become involved, concerned and active in student affairs and student government. Let's not consider ourselves a silent minority. First of all, day students are encouraged by their Senators to run for student body committees. Currently, the most pressing issue is the election of SAC (Student Affairs Committee) members. This is quite an active commit tee which touches almost all student life at Guilford. The day student Senators would like to see ample representa tion on the SAC. The election will take place this Wednesday at 7:30 during the senate meeting. At that time, all nominees must be present and ten people will be selected by the senate. That list of ten people will be narrowed to the five by a selection commi ttee. If you are interested in running you must submit your name by noon tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept. 21. At this time nominees must submit thirty copies of a sheet listing qualifications, pertinent information, judicial board convictions, (if any,) and your reasons for running. Please feel free to contact any of your six Senators or someone in the Senate about mimeographing your data sheet or if you have any questions concerning your nomination. Nominees must be full time students, especially for the pat year and have a 2.0 Q.P.A. If you would like to run, please do. Even though day students must divide their time between school and home, we as day student Senators feel that you are still capable of becoming an integral part of student government and student affairs There are numerous committees that you should become aware of and perhaps one that might interest you if you plan to run. For example you may wish to run for the Admissions and Retention Committee, the Curriculum Committee or Student Awards Committee. One duty of the Student Awards Committee is to determine the Dana Scholars. Please refer to the article concerning these committees inthis week's September 20,1977 edition of the Gui/fordian. Day Students, you are urged to run for these comm ittees. Speak to your senators concerning any issue and, generally, to become involved in student affairs. Before each Senate meeting, the day student Senators meet at 7:00 p.m. upstairs in Founders. Please take advantage of this opportunity to speak with us.
