Computer shortage terminated
By Julie Seaman
The computer terminals for
student use have been put in new
locations on campus. The move
was part of an important change
in Guilford's computer system
this year: The needs of the
students for computer services
are getting much more attention.
Last year's biggest problem
with the system-lack of disk
space-has been alleviated
because Guilford has purchased
a new, second computer, just for
students.
In Duke 213, one video (soon
one more) and two printing
terminals are available, and
there is one video terminal in
King. Hours for both buildings
are 7:00-10:30 p.m., Mon.-Fri.,

that he hit me"

Intern Karen Thomas of
Binford Dorm was hit in the face
late Saturday night by a man
after he and his friends were
asked to leave.
She reacted with surprise, "I
can't believe he hit me; I was
being courteous, but they were
rude and obnoxious. It had a very
negative effect on me," she said.
Other residents of the hall
agree that they now feel un
and Duke is open on Saturday
from 9:00-2:00. The library has 2
videos and one printing terminal,
and they can be used all library
hours and also until 2:00 a.m.,
Mon.-Thurs. From midnight to
2:00 a.m., only the copier ter
minal area and the downstairs
snack room and bathrooms will
be open.
Charlie White, the computer
systems manager, explained that
everything has been moved
because of a need for more space
to house the two new and the
existing computers. Terminals
were moved from Founders into
Duke so that an eye could be kept
on the whole system. However,
so that terminals would be
available during late hours for
students, three were moved into
comfortable about their safety.
Said one about the incident: "I
was really nervous because I
didn't know what was going to
happen. I realized then that you
never know who you're talking to
or who is in the dorm."
Security was called, but the
intruders had departed when
they arrived three minutes later.
This is the second disturbance
of harassment within one week in
Binford Dormitory.
Taylor and Arterberry
"James' brother I presume?"
By Carol Solow
Livingston Taylor and Trent
Arterberry performed at
Guilford College last Sunday
night in a performance that
warmed the metal rafters and
wooden platforms of Sternburger
auditorium. Taylor and Ar
terberry perform together
frequently, and their next show is
in Charleston, South Carolina.
The tour, which Taylor termed
"not very strenuous" will move
southwest and end in Kentucky.
The show opened with a fine
performance by professional
mime artist Trent Arterberry.
Trent currently lives in Boston,
Massachusetts and spent many
years in San Diego, California.
He claims he was inspired to
become a mime artist ever since
he saw Marcel Marceau on
television as a young boy. He
pursued this, interest through
taking classes and becoming a
mime apprentice.
Trent makes up all his routines,
and says that "sometimes ideas
hit you over the head." Ac
cording to Trent, the trick to the
art of mime is to concentrate,
relax and focus on what you are
doing. When asked what could
the main library.
Since the original computer
was purchased in 1975, the
computer system has been
oriented mainly toward ad
ministrative applications, such
as the registrar and business
office records. There was some
pressure on the students to stay
out of the way of the ad
ministration, who used most of
the disk space. Until now, there
was a lack of storage space for
students, which sometimes
resulted in the accidental
destruction of other people's
programs and data.
The proposal which recom
mended purchasing the new
computer included plans to
double the number of terminals
available to students by next
year. Some of them will be
"smart" terminals, like the
VTIOO, which will make program
editing and data entry much
easier.
A computer literacy program
is being recommended to the
curriculum committee for future
semesters. The plan is to have
each course satisfying the math
science distributional
requirements including in
tegrating computer exercises in
to its course content. Because
hands-on operating experience is
viewed as being a valuable and
necessary part of a full education
of all students, the plan
guarantees that all students will
be involved with computers at
least twice.
ruin such concentration during
one of his performances, he'
replied "not much."
Trent has both a personal agent
and a manager, but feels his
career has not progressed as
quickly as he would like. His
ultimate goal is to have his own
show on Broadway.
Both Trent and the tour "road
manager par excellance",
Berred, agreed that there was
good energy in the Guilford
audience, and felt that the show
was more successful than in
some of the smaller houses they
had played in recently. They felt
that the duo banjo routine weqt
particularly well.
Livingston Taylor also felt
comfortable with the Guilford
audience. He remarked that it
was a special night for him to be
back in North Carolina. He at
tended Westown Friends school,
a quaker preparatory school
outside of Philadelphia, and he
feels at home in the Quaker en
vironment of Guilford.
Taylor considers himself a
"student of relatively" and has
taken night classes at Boston
University. In his spare time, he
enjoys gardening and watching
television-his favorite shows
Guilford students have a variety of machines to help them in their
attempts to study, but at least one important student leader seems to
prefer computer terminals to microfilm machines.

include "Leave it to Beaver" and
"The New Price is Right."
Livingston, who grew up in
Chapel Hill currently lives in
Cambridge, Massachusetts with
his wife Maggie. He misses the
south but chooses to live close to"
New York City, because the
closer he lives to New York, the
less he has to travel. Besides,
remarked Taylor "if it doesn't
have a subway, I don't want to
live there."
Taylor regularly takes voice
lessons "not to learn to sing but
just to keep the instrument out of
trouble and refined." He feels
that his new album "Man's Best
Friend" is probably not his best;
that there are songs on it he loves
and others that are not so suc
cessful.
He does not consider this art at
all political, and two of the most
hunerous social commentary
songs of his show "Russia" and
"Cambridge" were written
by John Curtis, a member of
his band. Taylor said it "feels
fine" to be J. T.'s brother, and
when asked if he thought success
would ever spoil him, he replied,
"I was spoiled rotten a long time
ago."
