Rainy Days Didn't Come His Way ;
Sanford Wins Senate Race
By Megan E. Trend
Democrat Terry Sanford
was victorious after a close
race with Jim Broyhill. This
win of Democratic control of
the Senate could mean
Reagan will spend the next
two years in a battle with
congress.
Will Ellsworth-Jones of
The Sunday Times noted
"Reagan could become a
lame duck President," if the
Senate majority were to
become Democratic. For the
past ten years the
Republicans have controlled
South Africa: Where Do We
Stand ?
By Rich James
On October 10, Guilford
students and faculty got the
opportunity to display their
condemnation of South
African Apartheid and con
structively act for the
release of political prisoners
in that nation. Over 180
signatures were added to let
ters of protest to South
African president P.W.
Botha and Secretary of
State George Shultz. Nearly
100 students and faculty
wore black armbands sym
bolizing solidarity with the
oppressed and the imprison
ed of South Africa. The day
climaxed with a vigil on
Founders lawn. Approx
imately 80 people joined
hands in silence for fifteen
the Senate 53-47. In Tues
day's election they had to
defend 22 of those seats.
"Cast a vote for me," was
the slogan President Reagan
used while campaigning to
keep Republican control of
the Senate this past week.
This same quote was the
cry that was heard all over
the state of North Carolina
on Tuesday November 4,
while voters cast their
ballots for either Terry San
ford or Jim Broyhill.
The question I ask myself
is, "why did the incumbent
Senator Broyhill lose to San-

nation, sending a spiritual
message of hope to South

throughout the year few

Broyhill stressed National

sion was made to have a day
of solidarity rather than a
call for political action,
because of the low-key
political atmosphere of
Guilford. The overall
response to the day was
positive. Many students
were eager to sign the peti
tions and the large turnout
for the vigil made it a very
moving experience for those
who participated.

President Rogers and Allan Weller
by Wendy Lavine
On Wednesday,
November 5, an important
meeting for the growth of
Guilford College took place
in the Leake Room. A good
selection of the Guilford
community was there, in
cluding faculty, staff, Dr.
Rodgers, students and
guests. The purpose for the
meeting was in aprreciation
of art. It was announced
that our new library will
recieve an extensive art col
lectio donated by Allan and
Rachel Weller.
Mr. Weller told the au
dience that a couple of weeks
ago he decided to inventory
his impressive art collection.
He is a well known art
historian and is Dean
Emritus of Art at the
University of Illinios. The
Wellers' daughter is Judith
Harvey, director of the
Friends Center. The approx
imately 200 works being
donated have been aquired
over the last 40 years. This
collection is a very personal
one. The pieces were not
bought for museum use, but
instead to be displayed in
the Weller's home. One of
the reasons given for
donating this collection to
Guilford, was for the prac
tical purpose that there was
just no more space in their
home.
The collection is valuable
to the school, not only in its
monetary worth but also as
an outstanding teaching and
learning opportunity for the
community. Different pieces
of the collection will be a per
manant part of the Library
Gallery while others will be
specifically used as part of
the teaching program in the
art department.
The majority of the collec
tion is comprised of 20th
century art, but there are
pieces dating back as far as
the 13th century. There are
Mede vaJ age ilium inations,
a Madonna from the Old
Master's school, a North In
dian illustration of as Raj,
and a design for use at
N a- )oleon's wedding. The
20th century works in the
collection are a true mixture
