Organizations For Any Interest
Just what does Community
Senate do? For the benefit of
all new (and most of the re
turning) students, the Senate
is the representational body on
campus made up of students,
faculty, and administration
mostly students. The Senate's
main function is to "act as a
forum of campus concerns."
That is, it's the place to take
problems, wrestle with them,
and hopefully, present solu
tions. The Senate also has the
power to recommend policy
changes to the administration
in addition to determining and
distributing to organzations
the Student Activities Fees.
Student representatives to
the Senate are elected from
residence halls. Day students
may nominate themselves this
week in the library or at the
Information Desk in Founders
Hall. Please consider carefully
whether or not you wish to be
a Senator we need the
commitment of time, enthu
siasm, and the willingness to
work on the part of many
students. If you don't have
the time to be a Senator, you
can contribute through one of
our newly developed sub
committees.
Residential Life:
This committee's responsibility
would be to review existing
policies that specifically
concern students who live in
dorms (i.e., visitation rules, the
alcohol policy) to evaluate stu
dents' feelings on these issues
and suggest policy changes.
Many student complaints also
result from slow repairs of
showers, roof leaks and other
physical problems in the dorms.
Thus, this committee would
be in close contact with
maintenance to improve repair
procedures.
Day Student Council:
It has established a Day Stu
dent Lounge, tries to in
crease the involvement of day
students in campus concerns,
decides how to spend day
students' activities fees, it is
a potentially very effective
and important group for dealing
with the concerns of the large
number of off-campus
students.
Lama Lo
The purpose of Lama Lo is
to provide a social and relig
ious setting for the Jewish stu
dents of Guilford College and
anyone interested in learning
about Jewish culture and her
itage. Some of our activities
are in conjunction with UNC-G
Hillel and other organizations
here on campus. We welcome
all students and faculty to join
us this year.
Community Senate
Curriculum Committee:
The faculty committee dealing
with curriculum changes has
been active in the past few
years and concerns have been
expressed that students have
not been adequately represent
ed. This committee's function
would be to increase student
input into the faculty comm
ittee, keep students better
informed on possible changes,
and to investigate the possi
bility of recommending
changes of their own, as in the
areas of distribution require
ments, polciies for exempting
classes, and the broader con
cerns of academic standards.
Intra-Academic Relations:
As an outgrowth of the Senate
and Trustee dinner last year,
we have established this
committee to be responsible
for improving relations (or est
ablishing relations) between
the different major groups in
volving Guilford: faculty,
administration, trustees, and
students. Hopefully, increased
communications achieved
through dinners or more formal
settings would improve work
ing relationships.
Publicity and Contact:
We hope to greatly increase
the Senate's use of the Guil
fordian through in-depth ar
ticles about relevant issues,
publicity about particular issues
or events we are involved with,
etc. This committee is to en
courage the rest of the campus
to sit up and take notice
skillful writers are especially
welcome.
Dance Club
Four months and seven days
ago, we, the original members
of Guilford College's Dance
Club, ceased to function as
a concrete school organization.
Throughout the long hot torrid
summer days, however, our
spirit and love for this great
art has remained kindled within
us. Now, once again, we
beseech those of you who
might possibly share this same
desire to come and partici
pate in the reuniting of this
club. If you have any interest
as far as dance is concerned,
please contact (AF) 2 at 852-
3674. Just ask for a square
root. Be on the look-out for
postings of our first meeting.
We're anxious to get things
underway, for there is much to
be done.
"The Gui 1-fordLion
Course evaluations:
The Senate intends to publish
a booklet containing brief
evaluations of both professors
and the courses they teach.
A committee is needed to make
decisions on application forms,
how they should be distrib
uted, selection of an editor,
format of the final publi
cation, etc.
Food Committee:
The cafeteria has always been
a source of complaints. We
feel that a committee that
worked closely with Epicure
in planning mens and actually
testing new food ideas would
go a long way towards meeting
the desires and tastes of Guil
ford students.
For more information, or
just to meet and get to know
us, come by the Senate Office,
upstairs in Founders Hall.
Our office hours for the entire
semester are as follows:

There will be a Reveler's
meeting, Wednesday, Sept. 6
at 7:30 p.m. in the Rehearsal
Hall in the basement of Stern
berger Auditorium. According
to this year's president, Lili
Shaklett, the topics discussed
will include the audition dates
for the fall production, "The
hostage," by Brendon Behan
which will be directed by Rick
Prouty, the technical
director of the department. Mr.
Prouty will be talking about the
play and his production plans.
There will be committees set
up which will work directly
with the play, such as for
makeup, props, and technical
assistance. Anyone interested
in these or other aspects is
encouraged to attend. Besides
the two major productions
there will be other shows in
cluding the "One Acts: from
the Acting and Directing class
which hold open auditions
for the student body to en
courage competition and par
ticipation. The Revelers are
confident that this could be
a very good year if the stu
dent body is willing to share
The Coalition for Liber
ation through Non-Violence
was started last year (and
kept that name only because
no one could think of a bet
ter one, and we had to have
a name to be official). Basically,
members shared:
1) a feeling that certain things
in this world aren't right,
2) a sense that the actual
process of conflict resolution
was at the heart of many
problems,
and
3) a need for company in the
search for ways to bring
about change, with within
and without.
In other words, we were in
terested in "radical non
violence;" and invited several
men and women from local
and national pacifist organiz
ations to speak on campus.
(These included the United
Farm Workers, the War Re
sistors League, the Mobilization
for Survival, the American
Friends Service Committee and
others.) These groups in turn
began to contact us, to inform
us of coming demonstrations,
etc. And we established a li
brary of books and pamphlets

In "The Hostage," Irish
playwright Brendan Behan has
interwoven both music and
comedy into a plot based on
the activities of the IRA in
Belfast. The characters
are bizarre and earthy, the
action swift and boisterous.
It is adult fare.
One of America's outstand
ing tenors, William Brown has
sung opera, oratorio and
recitals world-wide. He also
has pioneered in giving wide
exposure to the rich and
largely unexplored heritage of
music by black composers.
At Guilford, his entire program
will be by black composers.
Brown will also conduct a
master class.
Veronica Jochum, who has
performed internationally, has
gained a large Greensboro fol
lowing through appearances
at the Eastern Music Festival.
She will conduct a master
class, also.
