Pfeiffer wins finale
Basketball season ends
The season came to a merciful
end recently for the Quaker
Men's basketball team as
Guilford was soundly beaten 91-62
in the Carolinas Conference tour
nament. The team lost to No.
2-seated Pfeiffer, the team which
eventually won the tournament
and the team which had only
beaten the Quakers by a total of
five points in two previous
meetings. But this time Pfeiffer
was simply too much to handle,
taking a 38-28 halftime lead and
stretching the lead to 30 points at
one time during the second half.
Guilford shot poorly, (42% as
opposed to Pfeiffer's 56%) and as
a result lost control of the game
quickly as the opponents made
eight of their first ten shots.
Guilford's zone proved to be ex
tremely ineffective and and one
Pfeiffer player scored 20 points
alone against it in the first half;
two more than Guilford's first
half total.
On the other end of the court,
Pfeiffer employed a 1-3-1 zone
defense that significantly con
tributed to the Quaker's poor
shooting. They were unable to
get the ball inside and therefore
were forced to take low percen
tage outside shots which failed to
fall. Then, the team found it dif
ficult to come up with a rebound
to attempt another shot as they
were outrebounded 40-32.
Leading scorers for the
Quakers were Ben Barrett with
Why not study in San Francisco?
San Francisco is soaring
bridges and shimmering bay
water. San Francisco is a
modern city, with a rich diversity
of ethnic heritages, tied together
with turn-of-the-century cable
cars. For many years the "City
by the Bay" has enjoyed une
qualled popularity as the most at
tractive, most civilized, most
desirable city in the country. It
has been characterized as the
"city of infinite possibilities."
But beneath the romance lie all
the challenging problems of our
urban societies.
"EAST IS EAST
AND WEST IS
SAN FRANCISCO"
-Jack London
You are invited to spend the
first three weeks of your summer
vacation savoring the richness of
San Francisco and studying its
life. You will be pioneering a new
concept in off-campus summer
studies, one designed to expand
the highly successful format of
the Fall & Spring Break pro
grams while offering a domestic
alternative to overseas study.
This should also leave enough
time for gainful summer employ
ment beginning June Ist.
LEADERSHIP: Jim Keith,
15 points, Keith King, 13, and
Jerry Greenwood, 12. Dan
Ogbourn, seldom used during the
seasoi), had a team leading 6 re
bounds.
Coach Jack Jenson seemed to
be happy it was all over after the
game when we vowed, "I won't
be here tomorrow night, you can
be assured of that."
Although the team finished
with records at 6-20 overall and
3-11 in conference action, there
were a few bright spots and a
tirgd of disappointments. Junior
guard Barrett had a standout
season as a scorer playmaker,
defender, and leader as well as
combining with freshman Green
wood to form an admirable
backcourt, definitely the teams
strong point. Freshman King and
Chris Lambert both improved
vastly as the season progressed
and all four will return as the
nucleus of next years team.
Forced to play from the start of
the season, the freshman gained
a great deal of experience quick
ly. After losing by 30 in the
season's first game, over half the
team's games were decided by
less than 6 points. If Coach Jen
son is able to recruit a few big
men to take the pressure off of
King down low, the young team
may be ready to win the close
ones. They already know what
it's like to lose, hopefully next
year they will learn what it's like
to win.

Athletic Puzzle: third in a series
Women's sports at Guilford
By Bruce Teachey
The Athletic Department
at Guilford College is
composed of more than just
men's athletics. In the haste of
trying to mention or get across
my point in the previous article, I
neglected to say anything about
the women's athletic program. I
recreation, and its libraries. We
will study the city's colorful
history & geography, and in
vestigate such current issues as
refugee relocation, poverty, the
elderly, education, lifestyle
variations, health care,
redevelopment, housing, penal
system, and ethnic communities.
These urban issues will be dealt
with in seminars, field
assignments, readings, and so
forth. You will also be expected
to devise and conduct an inten
sive field-oriented project on a
specific selected topic, such as
the Russian Community, Central
American refugees, or historic
preservation. The course will
carry either 3 or 4 academic
credits, depending on the out
come of the review the Cur
riculum Committee is presently
conducting.
See San Francisco Page 11 i
apologize for this mistake as it
was not intentional, just an
oversight.
The women's athletic program
is very remarkable when one
takes into account the fact that
not much publicity is given to
them and primarily that men's
athletics seem to always over
shadow women's athletics.
However, 'vomen's athletics is
growing across the nation as well
as at Guilford College. The
beginning of a woman's lacrosse
program is one example here at
Guilford. The inspiration to
achieve is very evident.
The women sports at Guilford,
including volleyball, basketball,
tennis, and Softball, here have
budgets of below S3OOO. Once
again, these figures do not begin
to cover the costs that are
necessary. With a lack of
publicity, it is simply a wonder
that these sports are even off the
ground or even competing at a
respectible rate. Yet, these
Volunteers needed
The American Friends Service Committee and the Mexican Friends
Service committee will be sharing several volunteer community ser
vice projects in Mexico during the summer of 1982. These projects are
for a period of seven weeks - end of June to mid-August. Participants
will be between 18 and 26 years of ago and must be able to converse
comfortably in Spanish. The units will be located in rural villages; ap
proximately half the participants in each unit will be from Latin
America.
Four to six co-leaders for these projects will be recruited from the
U.S. Persons interested and potentially qualified with fluent Spanish,
some experience working with young people, and preferably some ex
posure to Latin America, would be welcome to inquire. Write to Carol
Tuttle, Personnel Department, AFSC, 1501 Cherry Street,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102. Cyrus Johnson 208 Archdale, will
be glad to talk further with anyone.

sports do compete, along with all
men's athletics, even at the
expense of cutting budget ex
penditures to compensate for the
lack of funds.
The women's athletic depart
ment has really accomplished a
great deal. Mention of cham
pionships in the 60's can be up
dated by the fact that the 1981
women's tennis team won the
NAIA National Championship. In
fact, in 1981 Guilford had four
female Ail-Americans and two
honorable mentions. Over the
past seven years, women's sports
continue to recruit all-state
selections that contribute a great
deal to the program. These
achievements were ac
complished with a visible budget
that is simply depleted.
More articles will follow
concerning the state of the
athletic department, for this
article I would like to pay special
thanks to Coach Gayle Currie for
making me more aware of the
women's athletic program.
