page four E. Kidd Lockard to retire; Professor serves 41 years By BETH EAKES To most students Fall Semester 1979 will mean a new crop of freshmen, the beginning of a new academic year, and reunion with old friends. But to some students fall will be saddened by the fact that E. Kidd Lockard, history professor, won't be returning. E. Kidd (as he prefers to be called) has been teaching at Guilford College since 1958. He says that seeing the progress made by stu dents is the most rewarding part of his career. / *2 ,a K o >\ x ' X ' ,\* - '1 **V ftc** " a**, t e^" WCffcfM BmiffllflM mMmmm JteSTT He has been teaching for 41 years at a total of six different institu tions. Although he majored in history, business and economics were his subjects for the first 2 A of his time here. This semester finds E. Kidd teaching his last courses in European and North Carolina history. E. Kidd was born in West Virginia and raised by an aunt and uncle. Living during the Depres sioitmade him realize the harshness of being poor. As a youngster, when he was unable to afford a newspaper, he would borrow one from the neighbor next door. His first job was teaching part time in Kentucky. After this, he taught at a Methodist junior college in London, Kentucky. At Sue Bennet College, E. Kidd was Dean of Men and taught a full course load. He was quite popular with the students at Sue Bennet, where the ratio of women to men was 3:1. E. Kidd related that he was often chosen to be the required chaperone during specified dating times at Sue Bennet. His popularity with the students at Sue Bennet was due in part to the fact that he was often late in leaving his dorm, which gave students the chance to proceed along to the movie unattended. On the way back to school, E. Kidd would always stop and have a soda, returning to campus after the students. At Sue Bennet, E. Kidd was coordinator in a men's dorm which housed 25 to 30 people. Though lights out and required study halls were policy, E. Kidd's door was often open to students who wanted to study after hours. Other nights found him staying up late with stu dents who wanted to talk. New Gym energy efficient; solar power is u Guilford College's new gymnasium and indoor pool, presently in the planning stages, will be heated by use of solar collectors and a 30 day storage system. This building will be the first of its kind in the entire Southeast. The basic layout of the gym is explained in the accompanying diagram. A. Solar panels: The panel array will consist of two rows of twenty-five six by four foot panels. They will be made of flat plate copper tubing. The panels will be placed directly on the south facing roof of the existing gym. B. Domestic Hot Water System: This consists of a line running hot water from the panels to an insulated storage tank, and from the storage tank to bathrooms, showers, and any other domestic hot water facility. If the water is below 110° F, an auxilary heater will raise its temperature to 110° F. C. Storage Pool and Earth Sink: Involved in storing the heat that the panels collect is a pool under the gym floor filled with two inch stones. This pool will heat up a large amount of earth under the pool. In this way a heat reserve, which can be tapped for thirty sunless days is created. D. Central Air Heating System: This system will utilize the water that has been stored in the heat sink. By running the water through heat pumps placed in five locations throughout the building, the heat will be transferred from water to air, thus heating the fieldhouse. Guilfordian "I can't imagine anything that could be worse than teaching and not liking it." commented E. Kidd. Even when he was teaching the same course three times in a day, he said that he still enjoyed his job. He realized the importance of his position and tried to bring variety into his classroom. How does he deal with the stu dent who is reauired to take his continued on page 'five Summer Internships planned; UNC-G sponsors program A summer internship program cor college students, which features 12 weeks of work in local govern ment and private agencies along with a weekly academic seminar in urban affairs, will be offered again this summer in Greensboro. The program will run from May 22 to Aug. 9 and is sponsored by the Department of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Thompson noted that between 20 and .25 interns will be sponsored this summer. The program has added a new wrinkle this year according to Thompson. In the past, the intern ship program has arranged summer positions for students. Thompson noted that students may arrange their own jobs this year and will be allowed to enroll in the internship program if the positions are approv ed. "The students will be working approximately 30 to 40 hours a week in their positions and going to a seminar in the evening once a week," said Thompson. "This approach is one of the best ways we know of to combine the aca demic and practical aspects of working with governmental and private agencies.''

Reclamation of Waste Heat: This system consists of a unitized spray box, which will transfer heat from air passing through ducts, to water which is sprayed on the duct work. Waste heat will be collected from the shower room as well as excess heat produced by electrical equipment. , February 13,1979 The program is part of UNC-G's regular Summer Session and interns must enroll as regular fee paying students. Six hours of academic credit will be awarded to those who complete the summer program. The internships are open to soph omores but preference will be given to rising junior or rising senior college students. Applicants can major in any academic subject but background in government or urban studies is desirable. Last summer, 23 students worked in agencies in Greensboro, Guilford County and High Point. r +~l Keep Red Gross read}:
