Lush lawns possible
By Paul Holcomb
Staff Writer
The past several years have
seen the recurrence of nume
rous dirt paths criss-crossing
the campus lawn.
Despite yearly seedings, the
paths have reappeared with the
opening of the fall semester in
August. However, is now
appears that this repeated se
quence is about to end.
Late last semester the Board
of 1 rustees recommended pav
ing the dirt paths to alleviate
the problem. This was disliked
by most of the faculty and
student body.
A contest was initiated late
in the spring semester to seek
out some creative solutions to
the dilemna. Response to the
contest was strong, with sug
gested solutions ranging from
planting landmines to pouring
gravel on the paths.
Fortunately, the board voted
to delay the decision on paving
until some of the alternatives
could be tried. Now, it appears
that a definite course of action
has been decided on.

Students observe beach ecology
Soaked Biophile club undaunted by rain
By Howard Luehrs
Amidst the howl of the wind
and the battering of the rain, I
knew it was time for breakfast.
We had arrived the night
before, twenty-seven of us,
straggling in with groups of
three and four throughout the
night Tents had been pitched
in the dark. There were few
stars to be seen and the
prediction was for rain.
We hoped the tents were on
high ground. But how high does
the ground get on the Outer
Banks? If we were lucky, the
tents were above sea level.
Everyone was so tired after
the long drive. Many visited the
beach last night. Cathy didn't
hear a wave approaching and
got soaked. Finally, everyone
had arrived and turned in.
Flashlights in the dark. Who
could it be?
Figures, visitors from the
church group camping nearby.
They were all about three feet
tall. No trouble, there are lots of
ghosts on Cape Hatteras.
Next morning. It's raining
(pouring) and winds are 30 +
mph; it must be time for
breakfast. We managed to cook,
and eat, the somewhat soggy
oatmeal between cloudbursts.
ger, Jim Newlin, sometime this
fall shrubbery will be planted at
"strategic" points along the
paths to discourage their use.
This alternative, which resul
ted from last spring's contest, is
judged as offering the best
compromise between economic
and ecological feasibility. Un
fortunately, this does not gua
rantee an end to the paths.
Cooperation from the student
body is essential for the pro
ject's success. Students must
discourage traffic along these
areas.
Not only do these paths
detract from the natural beauty
of the Guilford campus, but, in
rainy weather, they also bring
mud onto the school's carpets,
necessitating more cleaning and
earlier replacement.
If this plan fails, according to
Mr. Newlin, the Board of Trus
tees will most likely recommend
cementing the paths.
Unless the student body
would like to see the Guilford
campus laced with ribbons of
concrete, students should re
frain from using the dirt paths.
Each woman will discuss her
views on the strengths, prob
lems, and concerns particularly
relevant to Black women. There
will be time for questions and
discussion after the presenta
tions.
In addition to the regular
program, a representative from
the Greensboro Commission on
the Status of Women will be
there to talk briefly about the
commission's new book, a his
tory of women in Guilford
County.
A patch of blue sky? Wow! It

How many more stairs to go?
What, you can't go all the way
to the top? Let's slide down the
railing! Long fall if you slip.
More blue sky. Surfing on the
