Staff Writer
This Sunday, April 17th marks
the second annual Student
Awards Convocation. The Con
vocation is a time for the Guilford
College community to gather in
celebration of the achievements
of its members. The awards in
clude the announcement of the
newly selected Dana Scholars,
the departmental awards, stu
dent leadership awards, and
atheletic and academic ex
cellence awards. The ceremony
will honor students in all areas of
community life.
Traditionally the awards were
given at the Senior banquet which
was designed primarily to honor
seniors. As a result, few people
were aware of student

achievements. However, it has
been recognized that seniors
aren't the only students who are
making significant contributions
to the community. Total com
munity involvement is one of the
goals of the committee in charge
of planning the Convocation. The
hope is that students will attend,
not only to receive awards but
also to celebrate the
achievements of their friends.
The other goal of the Convocation
is to make underclassmen aware
of the possibility of achievement
which exists at Guilford College.
The Awards Convocation will
be held in Dana Auditorium this
Sunday at 2:00 o'clock. Following
the Convocation the Guilford Col
lege Choir will perform their
traditional spring concert. The
afternoon promises to be filled
with music and celebration. The
community is cordially invited.
Suskin Directs, Suskin Speaks

Marcia Suskin, director of
"Uncommon Women and
Others" written by Wendy
Wasserstein, has given Guilford
something to talk about!
Her reason for choosing this
play is mainly because she feels
there is not enough good
dramatic quality material that is
made for women. Television and
movies today are usually over
shadowed by males. Although,
"Sophie's Choice" with Meryl
Streep is a good beginning
towards recognizing women as
individuals on today's screen.
This play is written by a
woman. It contains an all female

" naideex:
cast that has many diversified
characters. There were various
roles for several girls here at
Guilford which gave many a
chance to act. "Uncommon
Women" is a full-length play
where no one has the lead. It is a
true "ensemble cast."
Marcia thinks her cast is
wonderful! They are hardwork
ing fantastic girls. She's had
great pleasure working with
them and getting close through
rehearsals.
It was very hard casting the
play but everyone has fulfilled
her highest expectations.
Marcia feels grateful for the
opportunity to direct a full-length
play in a small school. In a large
school it would not have been
possible. She is extremely
grateful to Dr. Deagon for giving
while at Clemson in 1977 and 1978,
was named to AP and UPI All-
America Second Teams, was
voted the top blocker in ACC as a
junior and a senior, and is
presently a member of the St.
Louis Cardinls of the NFL.
Jeff David, formerly of Dudley
High School and Clemson Univer
sity, was ACC Player of the Year
in 1981, was named to Kodak and
UPI First Team Ail-American
teams, was a member of the
Clemson National Championship
football team during the 1981-82
season, was Most Valuable
Player at the 1982 Orange Bowl,
and now is linebacker for the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the
NFL. Roddy Piper, professional
wrestler and frequent visitor to
the Greensboro Coliseum, was
her the opportunity to direct.
This is Marcia's future!!
As a director Marcia now
realizes the total dedication and
work involved in doing such a
project. It has been a great learn
ing experience for Marcia and it
will help her in the future. One
day she hopes to apply this ex
perience to film directing. "The
quality of films say a lot about
our society and I want to make
good quality films," Marcia ex
plains.
"A very special thanks to
Teresa Sweeny and Amy Allison,
my stage director and manager. I
couldn't have done it without
them!"
The play's final performance is
tonight, at 6:30 p.m., and is pro
