spotLfakjt Fifteen Years Ago in the Guilfordian Bv Laura Peters Fifteen years ago the GuilfordiaiTs headline reveal ed "Golf club charged with Racism." A nearby golf club, Longview, was accused ot racism by four Guilford statt members. The men claimed that upon arriving at the course, the club's manager looked over Woodward, a black man and denied the four of them use of the facilities. He said that "colored and white cannot play together on this course." A report of the incident was filed by the four staff members to four bran ches of authority, one which was the Civil Rights Division of the United States Depart cmtn of Justice. Other big news in the 1971 Guilfordian was passage of the voting rights amendment which made 18 to 21-vear-olds eligible. The paper examined the possible changes that would come with this new law, now that 18 to 21-year olds would be con sidered "adults." Interestingly enough, one of the changes Dorm Improvement By Susan Chase dorm, informal Dormitory. improvement. A change or ad dition by which a thing is im proved. fund.

'Dentity Ditty By Amy L. Madison Zubl Do you remember Alice in Wonderland? I don't mean the pretty blue dress and the little bottle of "drink me" - I'm talking about the really far-out stuff: the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Tea Party that made your head spin. That's the kind of stuff we're dealing with in " 'Dentity Crisis," the newest Revelers' production. It's absolutely mad. It's funny, farcical, fast- they considered was an in crease in liquor sales. This would result, they asserted, in an "increase in the incidence of automobile accidents and a resulting rise in insurance rates." Also in 1971, the State Highway commission had plans to widen Friendly Road to give lanes. The plan re quired 30 feet of Guilford Col lege land. The commission held a meeting on the pro posal; Guilford's attorney asserted that the land was not "marginal" but historical. The commission shared their beliefs at the meetings, as well. The five lane design, they con fined, was adequate for ten years growth, however, the original seven lane highway proposal would allow for changes in Greensboro over the following twenty years. Another interesting article accounted for a meeting bet ween the "Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice and the "National Peace Action Coalition."

The year of 1971 also brought news of the campus Judicial Board. Trying a freshman who cheated on a paper and a senior accused of plagiarism on a geology term paper. The board also heard three cases involving viola tions of visitation rules. Each case involved men in Binford after visiting hours. One of these men was charged with exiting improperly through a window. On the lighter side of the news spectrum: James Taylor was in concert at the Greensboro Coliseum for $4.50 a ticket. Guilford had a cross country team. Our foot ball team lost to Elon 49-9, but we did beat UNCG in soccer, 2-0. The Guilfordian boasted "UNCG has the potential of a very good team, and the Quaker coach feels the game might have been one of the harder ones on the schedule." help enhance dorm life?

I can tell you that you'll probably come out of it a little paranoid, very confus ed, and definitely glad you saw it. I guess the flavor of the show is best captured in Sum mers' line, "the truly crazy person never thinks he's crazy." Directed by Joan Zubl, the players Michael Russell, Evelyn Mann, Bert Gutierrez, Living With Heat and Humidity Welcome back to Guilford and those lazy, hazy of late sum mer in Piedmont, N.C. For those of you unaccustomed to our weather or if you're trying suddenly to get back into shape, here are some things to remember about the heat/humidity combina tion. Most of you are familiar with winter forecasting including the wind chill factor which increases the hazards of the actual ther mometer reading according to wind severity. Our National Weather Service now projects a Heat Index (HI) which com bines temperature and humidity into an "apparent" temperature. Therefore, the higher the humidity, the higher the apparent temperature. High humidity retards the body's normal cooling system (evaporation) leading to an increased danger of heat exhaustion. The table below (with thanks to U.C., Berkeley Wellness Let ter) lists some possible Heat Index pairing and dangers. Sample Heal and Heal Index Possible Heal Disorders Humidity Levels (HI) For High-Risk Groups 85° and 20% 80 - 90° Fatigue during prolonged activity and/or 90" and 10% exposure 85" and 75% 90 - 105" Sunstroke, heat cramps, and heat 90" and 50% exhausation possible 95° and 25% 90° and 80% 105 - 130" Sunstroke, heat cramps, and heat 95" and 60% exhausation. Heatstroke possible 95" and 80% 130° or higher Heatstroke and sunstroke likely from 100' and 60% continued exposure 105" and 50% As you can see, HI can pose problems not only for those in poor shape but also athletic individuals getting back into/or maintaining high levels of strenuous exercise. When the temperature and humidity are up (indicating a high HI) follow some simple guidelines for your safety: 1. Slow down. These hot days will pass. Don't be like "mad dogs and Englishmen" and exercise in the "noon-day sun." Early morning or late evening is the more appropriate time for outdoor strenuous activity. 2. Try excercising in a pool or air-conditioned room. 3. Light colored/and weight clothing reflect heat and sunlight to keep us cooler. 4. Eat more fruits and vegetables. 5. Drink plenty of fluids while avoiding alcoholic beverages which cause dehydration. 6. Stay out of the sun when possible. If a person becomes weak, dizzy, dazed or pale with skin cool to touch but with profuse perspiration be sure to get her/him to a cool, shady place, elevate legs and administer light fluids (juice gatorade, soft drinks, etc.) A healthy start to his new academic year can lead you to gain new heights in your endeavors.
