Guilfordian suggestions
Each week, the Guilfordian will
ask a question of students and others
in the Gulford community. The
participants will be selected at
random and their answers recorded
and transcribed. It is hoped that
this column will inspire further dis
cussion on issues erf concern to the
community.

I think that the paper serves three
roles. It should be an information
giving document, a conscious raising
publication and an entertaining
publication.
As far as the first role is concerned
I would like to see it have factual
information of upcoming event of
interest to the entire community.
That means meetings and perform
ances on campus, as well as items
that will take place in the com
munity that would be of interest to
the Guilford College constituency.
I would also hope that it would be
able to give a review of meetings,
decisions, etc. that have happened
on campus.
As far as the consciousness raising
responsibility I think the paper has
the particular ability to stimulate
thought among students and faculty
and to stimulate ideas regarding
concerns of the campus. It should
be a catalyst for thought and for
discussion. I would like to see it
represent all sides of an issue, that
is pro and con from student, faculty
and administrators. It ought to be
willing to have an opinion itself,
that is from the editors of the news
paper.
It's third function as an entertain
ing publicaiton ought to reflect a

humorous outlook. There are
different ways to look at issues and
one way is to balance the serious
with a humorous aspect to represent
some levity in situations I think that
humor tends to equalize ones
prospective on an issue.
As far as suggestions, perhaps my
suggestions reflect hope. I hope
there will be as many students as
possible to contribute if not in active
positions, at least through letters
to the editor.
I think it is important to have a
campus newspaper and that
students, faculty and administrators
should feel free to contribute to it.

First I would like to congratulate
the people who are working on the
paper. I looked at the first edition
and read through most of it and it
looks like a good job to me. I'm
mighty glad to see it going again.
I was asked to make some comments
on what I thought the paper could
or should do here on the campus.
First thing that comes to mind is
that it could enable the people here
on campus to know each other
better. It would serve as a medium
for giving us a chance to know
what other people are doing, what
they're like, what they're thinking
about, what their plans are, what
their disappointments are and what
kind of life they're leading. That
would include everybody: students,
faculty and staff. I think some of
the things done in the past and even
earlier in the year, I found very
useful.
Secondly, it can let us know what
is going on around campus. That

Guilfordian
seems like a fairly trite statement
but we have the campus calendar.
That tells you what's going on but
that's just the bare bones of the
story. What'we need is the meat
and flesh on the bones to tell us the
things that are going on in detail.
That would include the things that
are going on in detail. That
would include the things that are
going to hapen and also some sort
of critique, review or analysis of
things that have happened. That
is my second point.
I think another thing that could
be done is to analyze the docu
ments that the college produces.
What about the catalogue, what do
you think about it? What about the
president's annual report, is it fact
or fiction? And what about other
things that are going on? All of this
could be looked into in a positive
constructive way to make the paper
something people would look
forward to reading. I think it could
constandy test opinion to see what
is going on and what people are
thinking about on campus.
I think the paper should offer
some training to students inter
ested in journalism because anything
you can pick up and find out about
to see if you like it would be of
help to the future of the students on
campus. Some people in other
places have gone on to careers in
journalism. I think the Guilfordian
could at least offer an understanding
of what it's all about, deadlines,
lay out, that sort of thing.
These aren't lengthy things but
this is what I think is important
as far as the Guilfordian goes.
All interested instrumentalists are
urged to participate in an ensemble
being formed for next semester.

I think the Guilfordian should
let people know what students are
involved with off campus as well as
on campus. This should definitely
include more than just academic
matters.
By JOHN BAILEY
The Guilfordian should serve as
a connection between the adminis
tration and the students. It should
aid in the communication of the
entire school. I don't know if
it's possible, but I think each depart
ment of the school should run an
article to enable the entire student
body to be aware of activities in the
school. Also advertisements may
help with financing the publication
of the paper. I would also like to
see more indepth sports coverage.
By DON BASNIGHT
I would suggest that the Guilford
ian provide more information about
events and things that are going on
with the people in the school.
For example I know some people
who have won dance contests.
Maybe they should go around and
ask people about different topics and
see how they feel about things.
There should be more coverage
of intermural sports and activities.
They should pick up on spontaneous
things like the food fight in the
cafeteria. They should check out
issues like the food in the cafeteria
besides what work committees are
doing and make students aware of
what the student government is and
isn't doing.

By JOHN ANDERSON
I think the main point th
Guilfordian should get across is tha
it should keep everyone informet
of current events in the Guilfori
community. I think there shouk
be an entertainment sectior
with events in the college area:
Greensboro, High Point, Winstor
Salem. They should keep up tht
sports section because I really like
sports. And maybe there should bt
individual sections for all the depart
ments so that students can know
what is going on in History or
Economics departments. I think the
paper should just keep up with
current events and let people know
what is going on around campus.
