Day Students seek senators
The time has come again for
the Guilford College day stu
dents to organize themselves
into an orderly, autonomus and
intelligent body. Maybe it is a
little late, but to be honest,
some of the day students aren't
even sure that school has be
gun. In the process of approach
ing the day student, one must
realize that the day student is a
different breed: free, indepen
dent, exciting.
Perhaps it is because of these
qualities that the day student
moves off campus; then again,
it might be the cafeteria food.
But whatever the reason, the
widened scope and community
Medieval spi
By Fred King
For those lonely souls with a
desire to relive former times, a
new organization has been*
formed on campus. The as yet
unnamed Medievalist Society,
under the Lord Protectorship of
Joel Richon, is planning Medi
eval feasts, perhaps an occasio
nal field trip, and such scholarly
activities as informal discus
sions and lessons in Old Eng
lish. The next meeting will be
on Wednesday, September 12

ties often put the day student
out of touch with campus con
cerns, even campus activities.
The 1979/80 year brings
three major changes in Day
Student organization. The first
change is the dissolution of two
Senate seats. Now the seats
number three instead of five,
because in the past the Day
Students have had great diffi
culty in filling all five at once. If
three dependable senators can
be found, the decrease should
benefit all.
The second change in the
stfucture of the day student
Hierarchy is the establishment
of the Day Student Council. In
theory, the council can include
in Dana Lounge at 12:00 noon,
and will feature a talk about
Barbara Tuchman's work on the
14th century, A Distant Mirror,
by the honorable David Cross.
For people wishing to get into
the Medieval spirit, the follow
ing books are suggested: The
Crystal Cave and The Hollow
Hills, my Mary Stewart; Cren
del, by John Cardner; The
Devils of Loudun, by Aldous
Huxley; and High Crusade, by
Poul Anderson.
Guilfordian
every day student enrolled in
Guilford College. The idea is
that anyone can walk into a
council meeting and have some
control over his detiny, not to
mention the elusive "student
activities fee."
Be sure to remember the joys
of being a day student: The Day
Student Lounge (with free food
for day students), the Day
Student Picnic (with free food
refreshment for day students,
and the Saint Valentine's Day
Massacre. Be proud ot be a part
of a misunderstood breed. Be
proud to breed misunderstand
ing. Support Day Student con
cerns.
The third change is the loss of
the dynamic President of the
last two years. (President Wil
son Carter).
The first Council meeting will
be primarily to elect qualified
officers to head the organiza
tion. The council desperately
needs to swing into action late
this week or early the next, so
elections for Senators have al
ready started. Tuesday, Wed
nesday and Thursday from
11:00-1:00 in Founders Lobby
and until five at the Information
Desk are the only times Day
Students can vote.

News from the Faculty
Alex Stoesen has been elec
ted chairman of the board of
trustees of the Unitarian Church
of Greensboro. Congratula
tions, Alex!
Professor Ted Benfey, on
leave from Guilford this year,
writes from Japan: "The Ben
fey family has grown by a new
member. Maiko Elizabeth Ben-
man House. Originally thought
to be a center for neo-Nazis or
Bavarian mountain climbers,
Ehweigh discovered otherwise.
His report follows:
"Vorsicht, Guilford! Hier
kommt das Deutsche Haus!"

--KO means child in the linen
robe. The parents are Stephen
and Kikue Kotani Benfey."
Rudy Gordh and Jeannie
Lampkin were married on July
28, 1979.
With this attitude the ten
members of the German House
has invaded Frazier Apartments
35-36 (Bryan Annex) and craf
ted an innovative alternative to
dorm living for male students.
I applaud their efforts. A
quiet language center it's not,
but they've managed to put
together an exhaustive schedule
guaranteed to put any normal
student under the table This
semester's highlights include
an Oktoberfest, a combined
French-German House party,
and a special Christmas cele
bration
Besides sharing in the plan
ning of these activities, the
students will participate in a
monthly meal (planned and
cooked by the ten themselves)
and view a variety of films.
Faculty from Guilford and
UNC-G are invited to the
monthly meal.
German is spoken whenever
possible, and the students at
tempt to develop an appreci
ation for another culture Peter
Rissi, House President, com
mented on the concept behind
the German House "We are
trying to develop a cultural
oneness between German and
American ideas." Well, Pete, I
appreciate your sincerity; I'm
"HIP" too
The fun begins with an open
house on Monday, September
17. I'll be first in line for some
lemonade.
