September 12,1978 Travelogue Guilfordites Explore Eastern Seacoast By BILL DAM Imagine watching the sunrise along the Atlantic coast of Maine; studying bird habitats on Assategue Island or taking part in an authentic historical village of the Plymouth Bay Colony. Well, this past summer Dave Maclnnes along with his wife Barbara and eight Guilford students spent Powerful Ocean of Schoodic Point at Acadia National Park, Maine. French Club Initiates Diverse Activities Following a successful first year, the members of the French House have made plans for an even better second year. Our main goal for the year is to establish a campus-wide French Club, an agency we feel will help inte grate the house into the Guil ford College Community. Structure and organization for the club will include officers who are members of the house. Our experience from last year lead to one simple conclusion, our problems all had a single root, no funding available for many activities. For this reason, membership in the planned club would include the payment of a small membership fee. Normally financing for a college organi zation would be done through the Community Senate but a large portion of the club's expenses will be for food and beverages which, according to the Senate Constitution, cannot be paid for with student activities funds. Club programs will be scheduled at least once a month and hopefully will increase to twice a month. Plans include an evening of French Parlor games. Other events will cover a wide variety of French cultural traditions to be found through music, art and literature. Our first sche duled event is a French Cafe four weeks traveling 3500 miles along the Eastern Seaboard to Canada. The trip was designed to study the coastal chemistry, biology, geology and history. Each student kept a journal and worked on individual pro jects of their special interest. The projects ranged from cultural history to the moods luncheon to take place Wednesday, September 20. There will be a specified menu offering various types of quiches and salades all included under a set fee. Reservations can be secured by paying $1.75 and signing up at the Informa tion Desk in Founders Hall by 7 p.m., Monday, September 18.

The group left on June 27 from Greensboro after two days of classes and traveled to Chincoteague Island then to Assateague, camping four days. Their northern expedi tion took them to the New Jersey Coast for a week, Toy Bay Long Island and then up to Cape Cod, Mass. The Massachusetts group was lucky enough to see the famous Alvin submersible before it disembarked to the Mediterranean. One of the most beautiful and unique places the group went was Campobello Island on the Bay of Furdy, Canada. They camped on a cliff over looking the ocean. Low tide went out a mile then dramat ically came back within hours. The rocky cliffs and beaches were very conducive to deep thought, many of the students stated. Another extremely scenic spot was in Maine at the Arcadia National Park where the group camped for two days. The group also worked on a gentlemans farm in New York for a day. They visited the Plymouth Plantation in Mass., where the lifestyle and culture of the first American colonists are portrayed. The towns people each had a traditional role; they spoke and dressed as their ancestors and even knew what every person in the village was doing on that day. The trip was certainly a great experience from many different disciplines and views of life. vJHfiTDoes THed*6aft VH&i A tVsvtEfti IfSISTL JWLBST? a™ jWt a. li'tiLe tat aloirxa WPeS V"^ v nV&r • -V^ iv '■. ■ i 1 4I9H@ - rSaeS _ • t,.^lM ,t -*• —■ a* _|, ' jj'S^^BjfJj Maine Quoddy Head, Eastern most point of U.S. Alaska Slowly Slipping Away By RICHARD FULTON The Senate Energy and Natural Resource Committee, after two months of deliber ation, has completed work on the major portion of the Alaska Lands Bill. The bill passed by the House of Representatives provided for 101 million acres for national parks and designated wilder ness areas. But the Senate cut the amount of land by 75 percent and has placed over 20 million acres of the wilderness area into weaker management categories. The bill has been disorgan ized by putting it under three or four different federal agencies, two separate departments with three differ- OIU fKNkV. \ /KV| V yoking >T K page seven ent management orientations. This will easily result in confu sion for natives and travellers who would have to deal with regulation changes every time they cross the artificial boundary lines. In addition, many areas will be open to mining, including National Forests, National Recreation Areas and BLM Conservation Areas. It is very disappointing to see this bill contain such pro visions. It still contains some wilderness areas, but the future of this bill is still very dim.
