Kaleidescope's Polarization Series
By D.L. Kaplan
The Campus Kaleidoscope will
present a four part series this
semester dealing with the theme
of polarization. The programs
will be sponsored by the National
Conference of Christians and
Jews and the hope is that these
discussions will promote more
inter-campus relationships. All
the member colleges and univer
sities of the Consortium are in
volved and four of the campuses

Take this quiz and see how you
fare:
1) What is the function of the
Guilford College Student Union?
2) What is the function of the
Guilford College Student Senate?
3) When you voted in the Union
and Senate election, did you know
what each platform advocated?
Here are the answers:
1) The function of the Guilford
College Student Union is to plan
activities for the students. It is
divided into six committees to do
this efficiently.
The Recreation Committee
plans ski trips, the 10k run at
Serindipity, and bowling and
rollerskating nights (How many
of y'all went to the rollerskating
night last Saturday?)
Each of the other committees
deals specifically with Films,
Dances, Concerts, Publicity, and
Coffee Houses. The Serendipity
Committee is an adhoc comittee,
working with the Union every
spring.
2) The function of the Senate is
to appropriate money to the
various student organizations. Its
committees are too numerous to
mention in this article, but ex
amples are the Curriculum Com
mittee, the Residential Life Com-
Guilford College, Greensboro, N.C. 27410
will host a program.
The opening discussion, led by
Edwin M. Yoder, Jr., addressed
the broader them of the Politics
of Polarization. It was held at the
Elliot Center of UNC-G and was
very successful. The next discus
sion, entitled "Church, State
Issues," will be held at Stern
burger Library at Greensboro
College at 5:30 p.m. on February
26. A box lunch will be provided
mittee, and the Food Committee
(So there is a place to voice your
complaints about the food! Fancy
that!).
3) The Union ticket ran unap
posed this year. Carrie Boyce will
be President, Tom Kelly will be
Vice President, Patty Willard
will be Secretary, and Wade
Shannon will be Treasurer.
This team wants to make
several improvements. They
want to provide good entertain
ment so that Guilford students
won't feel the need to go off
campus to have fun (whatever
that is).
"I would like to see the rela
tionship between the athletic and
social activities calendar improv
ed," said Kelly. Often at
Guilford, athletic events conflict
time-wise with other social
events.
Boyce would like to reach out to
as many groups of students as
possible. Boyce was a SWAT
leader, Kelly is on the baseball
team and Willard is a day stu
dent. These are three groups of
students they can aim toward.
Most importantly, the new union
would like to see school en
thusiasm restored.
In the Senate elections, Jim
Freeman, Nathan Bohn, Cliff
Tatum and Renee Godard ran
without charge. After spring
break there will be two more lec
tures: "Abortion Issues" and
"Civil Rights Issues."
The "Civil Rights" lecture will
be held March 21 in Founders
Hall. Any organizations desiring
to co-sponsor or assist with lec
ture should contact Don Kaplan,

against Tom Hill, Chris Aiello,
Sally Gross and Mary Jo Lindley.
(For those of y'all who don't
know yet, the Jim Freeman
ticket won, 413-171).
The new Senate feels it knows
where it is going and can get
there quickly. Freeman has
worked three years on various
Senate committees, and together
with Nathan Bohn, organized the
Auction last year which raised
over S7OOO for the Student Loan
Fund.
Our new team wants to look in
to the Bookstore and the
Grillroom, to see if they are as ef
ficient as they can be in aiming to
the students' needs.
If you answered one or more of
these questions correctly, you are
an above-apathy Guilford stu
dent. But if you couldn't, don't
worry, you are an average
Guilford student. (Thirty people
answered correctly. That's the
number that showed up at Can
didate's Night.)
Good luck to our new Union and
Senate teams- you'll need it! If
students can voice their opinions
to the Union and Senate (did you
know that your dorm has a
Senator, whose responsibility is
to hear your opinions?), things
can improve.
Reveler's Dream
Joan Zubl, professor and
chairperson of Guilford's drama
department, is directing
Shakespeare's play, 'A Midsum
mer Night's Dream,' for the
reveler's spring production. The
play will run from Thursday the
21st, through Saturday the 23rd
beginning at 8:15 p.m. in Stern
berger Auditorium. Saturday
night's performance will be a
tribute to the Greensboro Alum
ni. A special matinee has been
scheduled for Sunday at 2:15 p.m.
At this performance there will be
a free raffle for Guilford students
with two prizes. One will be two
passes to the Janus theater, and
the other a free Sunday brunch
for two at Casa Gallardo. Sunday
will also be a community benefit
to senior high school students, to
encourage them to study
Shakespeare. They will be admit
ted free of charge. Guilford
students and faculty may attend
any performance free of charge.
General admission for the public
is $2.00.
Zubl is psyched. She and Pro
fessor Ellen O'Brien attended a
workshop in Charlotte with the
Royal Shakespeare Company this
summer and decided they must
try it out. The play will be per-

Does the name Plato mean
anything to you? Have you ever
heard of Archimedes or
Thucydides? How would you like
to visit Athens, Sicily, and Rome?
If you have an interest in things
Greek or things historical, then
the 1985 Summer School in
Greece is for you.
Every summer Guilford and
UNC-G join forces to run summer
programs abroad, and this sum
mer Greece has been selected as
one of the destinations for our
travel-happy summer scholars.
The itinerary remains
somewhat flexible due to the
vagaries of international com
merce (see QUOTE on Editorial
page), but scheduled are visits to
important archaeological and
historical sites in Athens, to
Apollo's oracle at Delphi, to
Eleusis, and to Corinth. Students
will then move onto a chartered
yacht which will be the pro
gram's "floating seminar." A
cruise follows, through the Greek
isles, along the Turkish coast, to
Sicily, and finally to Naples in
Italy.
Along the way students will
visit such historically significant
places as Lesbos, Syracuse, and
Ephesus, and will retrace the
steps of such Greek greats as
Herodotus, Gorgias, and Hip
pocrates. Indeed the trip will
cover almost everything except
admission to a Dionysian feast!

formed exactly as written. "The
play is funny on its own merit,"
says Zubl. Just imagine a chance
to experience a remake of the
Globe theater. The set will be
almost bare while authentic
Elizabeathan costumes will be
worn.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream,
has been really fun work," says
Zubl smiling. It allows for such a
large cast and a great variety >l
people, which she enjoys direc
ting, The cast has been practicing
since January 14, five days a
week, three hours a day. The
week before opening night prac
tice becomes longer and more in
tense, says Zubl. She likes to give
her actors Friday and Saturday
nights off so they don't feel
isolated, and are able to take part
in other college events or just
relax.
Zubl has been here for two
years and since then has directed
Dracula, Line, and Equus. She
welcomes suggestions from
students as to what performances
they would like to see.
"Come and see the love com
edy, a belated Valentine's Day
gift from the drama depart
ment," Zubl announced.
Studies professor and Grimsley
Hobbs, a Guilford Philosophy
professor, will lead the program.
Deagon will teach a course entitl
ed "Greek Lyric Poetry" and
Hobbs will offer "The Pre-
Socratic Philosophers." On board
the ship there will be living and
study accomodations as well as a
select library.
A unique feature of this sum
mer's package is the option for
students only to participate in the
cruise portion of the program if
they wish. This plan was devised
for CCE students and others who
cannot spare the large 6-week
chunk of time needed for the en
tire program, which includes
study days in Athens before the
cruise and in Rome afterwards.
As of Valentine's Day both the
CCE "Program within a pro
gram" and the 6-week tour still
had slots open. Cost for the full
package will probably be bet
ween $2500 and S3OO, exclusive of
airfare.
The tentative deadline for ap
plication has passed, but Miriam
Collins of the Center for Off-
Campus Education said her of
fice is prepared to "be
magnanimous and beneficient"
in accepting further applicants.
Interested parties should contact
Mrs. Collins in the Center,
Founder's Hall; application
forms and a deposit are due
