page 4 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: Nancy Trull Tuesday 9:30- 11:00 Thursday 9:30-11:00. Mark Farlow Wednesday 9:00-10:00 Friday 10:00- 11:00 Barbara Phillips Monday 11:00-12:00 Tuesday 1.00-3:00 Thursday 11:00-12:00 We need your help! 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 Reveler's their talent for the enjoyment of themselves and others. 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. The Revelers spring pro duction will be announced later. stpfymUr 5, ins C.L.N.V. on non-violent struggle, past and present. So that was our first year; productive, but hard revolutionary . .. This year, maybe we'll start off with an open discussion of pacifism, its relationship to lib eration movements, and its implications for the in dividual. Then see if we can find a direction to move in. Watch Founders for announce ment of date and place. The Women's Center meeting needs of women of Guilford. ldentifying the resources of women.
