NC PIRG probes
The Guilford College and
UNC-C chapters of the North
Carolina Public Interest Re
search Croup (NC PIRG) will
sponsor a day of workshops on
"Energy Issues," Saturday,
March 22 from 11:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. in Room 116 of the
Petty Science building on the
UNC-G campus.
Suzanne Sullivan, Guilford
PIRC spokesperson, said, "I
see this workshop as an essen
tial educational tool in pre
paring people for the March 28
action. The purposes of that
action will be to commemorate
the Three Mile Island accident

Wonderful Wednesday?
Questionnaires on use of
Wednesday were distributed
during the week of March 10 to
Main Campus students and to
faculty members. This survey is
being conducted by a subcom
mittee of the faculty curriculum
committee as an initial step in
the evaluation of so-called
"Wonderful Wednesday."
The questionnaire is de
signed to gather two types of
information: data on the activi
ties in which students and
faculty participate during the
of the century in Australia. It
will be shown at 8 p:m. tonight
in the Fellowship Hall.
Filmed and personally narra
ted by Greg and Linda Mac-
Millan, "Into Australia's Red
Centre" documents the varied
wildlife of Down Under, inclu
ding the usual koala bears and
kangaroos, but also the mallee
fowl, fairy penguins, emus, and
parrots.

Mass Murder at George
GP News Service
Early Sunday morning, all
eleven residents of George
White House were found
slain in what appears to be
the largest mass murder in
Guilford College history.
No suspects have yet been
written up in connection with
the grisly crime, many de
tails of which are being
withheld from the press.
Security guards are follow
ing up several leads, how
ever, which seem to point to
the existence of a bizarre cult
in the college area. Quota
tions from Fleetwood Mac's
Tusk album were found writ
ten in blood on some of the
walls, and the victims seem
to have been killed in an
almost ritualistic fashion
with a variety of weapons,
suggesting the presence of
more than one murderer
A visit to the scene of the
crime Sunday afternoon after
the remains of the former
residents had been removed,
was unnerving The silence
was eerie. Trails of dried
blood lead throughout the
house; bloodstained knives,
scissors, and Bic pens had
been covered with plastic
and labeled by the investi
gating guards, all of whom
expressed shock and grief at
the tragedy.
Security arrived at the
house after being paged by a

suspicious neighbor One
guard, the first to discover
the bodies, had this to say:
"I was horrified. In all my
years on security I have
never seen bodies mutilated
more brutally, some had
been cut up into pieces.
There was blood every
where. In the living-room,
someone had written "tusk"
in blood on the wall. I was
sick to my stomach several
times during the initial in
vestigation."
Despite the blatant and
overt nature of this ghastly
crime, security is baffled as
to the identity of the culprits.

Facts of rape
Rape is one of the most
rapidly growing crimes in
America, and yet few rapists
are ever brought to trial. What
conditions contribute to this
dual problem?
How can private citizens pro
tect themselves against this
most vicious of attacks? What
can a victim do to help the
police capture the attacker?
How can parents protect their
children against violation?
What special problems are
faced by the handicapped and
elderly with regard to rape?
The Greensboro RAPE Cen
ter is giving a free public lecture
for people interested in the
problem of rape in Greensboro.
This presentation will serve as
an educational lecture open to
the general public and as the
first in a series of five lectures
in our speakers training pro
gram.
The presentation, sponsored
by the UNC-G Womens Studies
Program, will be held on Fri
day, March 28, from 7:00 to
9:00 p m. at UNC-G's Elliott
University Center, in Joyner
