Milner Houses Quaker Meeting
n.. rr_: J /\i * ™
By Taimi Olsen
It seems that Guilford College
will soon be the host of a perma
nent residency for the Friendship
Meeting. The meeting, which now
gathers for silent worship Sun
days in the Moon Room of Dana
Auditorium, feels it needs more
room and better facilities. The
meeting agreed, after consulting
the college, to establish itself in
on-campus housing which it will
share with the college. According
to David Mclnnes, a professor of
Chemistry at Guilford and a
member of Friendship meeting,
the college "has agreed with the
principal" behind the plan for a
meeting house, but as of now no
definite architectural plans have
been chosen, In general, the
meeting intends to add on a wing
to the Milner House. At present
Milner House, located near the
lake, is used as a guest house.
The meeting needs to add a room
to be used for worship service
and some rooms for First Day
school (Sunday school).
through participation in scouting,
athletics, service clubs, student
organizations and government,
family businesses, and other en
trepreneurial enterprises.
Applicants must submit a letter
of interest to the selection com
mittee along with a copy of their
transcripts and a 3-5 page typed
essay statement on how they
meet the eligibility criteria.
Those interested in further
details can contact either An
thony Gurley, Director of Finan
cial Aid; or James Keith, acting
Dean of Students.
Jim Keith commented, "An in

scholarship is that eligibility is
not based solely on grades ; being

Friendship meeting has some
definite needs which are not
satisfied by the auditorium's
facilities. More room is needed
for the children's Sunday school,
as well as an appropriate place to
hold gatherings and business
meetings (which are often
preceded by a potluck dinner). If
transformed, the Milner House
would fulfill these and other
needs. The meeting has offered to
pay for the transformation and
will pay all future maintenance
expenses in return for being able
to use college land. Although the
house will be "the meeting house
proper of Friendship meeting"
the meeting and the college have
agreed to share it. Since the wor
ship room will seat around 125
and will be of versatile, simple
decor, it will be useful for campus
lectures, meetings and small con
ferences.
Mclnnes hopes that the
adapted house "will be a real
benefit for the school."

The "Spongetones," "Nitty Gritty Dirt Band," Chairmen or the Board," "Oingo Boingo," "Band of Oz,"
and "Bo Thorpe" were focused on City Stage this weekend amid crafts, clowns and food and drink.
Dan Pleasant. Pleasant believes,
"Alan can't deal with the restric
tions placed on him by society, so
he invents his own religion, an
outlet for his passions—he
creates a horse."
"My character is an eloquent and
educated man who wants to shrug off
these restrictions and experience more
primitive emotions, but he can *t."
"I go inside my psyche to find
parts of myself that are in Alan,"
senior drama and English major
Pleasant says.
The doctor who treats Alan is
played by Howard Holden, a
senior English major. "My
character is an eloquent and
educated man who wants to
shrug off these restrictions and
experience more primitive emo
tions, but he can't," Holden says.
James Bell, known as Nugget
in the production, says, "I like be
ing a horse. I'm caught between
the doctor who swallows his pas
sions and the stable boy who is his
own chief priest. I see them reach
a balance in knowing each other's
pain."
