Center for Personal Growth offers services
By Jane Caris
Nearly three weeks have
passed since you arrived at
Guilford and by now you may be
experiencing a number of the
following feelings: frustration
with all the demands; elation in
being independent, or in simply
having made it so far; longing
for familiar faces and home;
bewilderment or excitement
about what the meaning of the
next four years might be for
you.
Obtaining a good liberal arts
education (as well as living
away from home) is bound to be
a shaking experience. If you
encounter your education at
Guilford -- if you embrace the
question of what it is to be
"free" in the almost twenty
first century -- it should shatter
you at times. A certain amount
of turmoil is basic to learning,
change and growth.
That is where the Center for
Personal Growth may be of
help. We provide a variety of
opportunities to turn turmoil
into creative change or to
stimulate the kind of changes
you want to happen. In the
course of the year we plan to
offer several workshops among
which will be the following:
assertiveness training, de
signed for people who would
Anton Chekhov, and "A Christ
mas Carol," based on Charles
Dickens' beloved holiday tale.
"We're all very excited about
the challenge and, in a sense,
the risks we're taking in doing a
season of such substance," said
Mennen. "The plays call for a
very high level of talent in their
acting, directing and staging
and if we don't measure up to
them, we'll know it.
Opening the season on Sept.
27 will be "Candide," the 1956
musical based on the novel by
the 18th century French philo

" 'Candide' is one of the most
stylish, eloquent musicals ever
produced," said Mennen. "It's
very much a part of the serious
side of theater even though it's
very funny and entertaining.
"As such, it's a good starting
point for this season because
we're devoting an entire year to
what we feel are the really
outstanding aspects of live the
