Invasion From Mars? by Jan Naugie Are we in danger of an invasion from Mars? If not, what is the Green Movement? Boyd Holliday, who holds a doctorate in educa tion from UNC-G and a Master of Theology from Duke University and now works at the Human Ser vices Institute in Guilford County, came to explain what the Green Ideology means to him at a recent meeting of Students for Environmental Progress. In brief, The Green Ideology is a concept for a new political, social, and economic structure that is gradually gaining worldwide support. Holliday explained that an understanding of the Green Ideology involves a complete reorganization in our thinking and our culture. To help students grasp the Greens' purpose Lady Quakers At 1-1 by Fiona Clem The Lady Quakers brought home a 67-56 win Saturday night against Greensboro College, boosting their record to 4-3 overall. Their conference record remains at 1-1, an opening home game win over Elon and a 1 point loss to Lenior-Rhyne at the buzzer. "We started off doing really well. Our losses to Lenior-Rhyne and UNC- Greensboro disappointed me. I think we can do bet ter though," said third year coach Jerry Corn well. Although this year's squad looks young on the roster all the sophomores have experience from last year Cornwell said. This will be the first time in Cornwell's Guilford coaching career, that she has a returning team. Nine lettermen returned to this year's squad. Tara Marnie, an all conference last year, starts as guard. Marnie is a 5-7 juilior who averaged and goals, he led students on imaginery journey through a symbolic model of the Green Movement.

"She is so consistent," noted Cornwell. "She comes through when we need her, especially on the outside." Jennifer Taylor, a retur ning, 5-11 sophomore center, is out with a serious knee injury. Taylor is a leading scorer and rebounder who average 12.4 points per game last year. "If Jennifer is out, it could put some changes in the lineup," Coach Corn well said, pending Taylor's knee surgery. The Quakers' finished eighth in the conference a year ago with a 5-11 league record and a 11-15 overall. "We should have a bet ter record," said Corn well, "but we also expect to be in the top part of the conference." The Lady Quakers will tip off at home on Satur day, December 12, at 6:00, in a double header with the men against district op ponents Pfeiffer. struction, and finally into a greenhouse with trees, plants, and ponds. "What the parts of this represent," he said, "are the different ways that we relate to the environment and the different kinds of culture that we build." In history, the pre industrial subsistence culture was common. Now the industrial system predominates, but it is mechanical, impersonal, and destructive to the en vironment. Holliday said that the model gives two possible alternatives to this way of life. First, we could choose the spaceship option. "If we spoil our environment Basketball 0-3 in Conference by Fiona Clem The Guilford men drop ped to 0-3 in Conference play (2-4 overall) when long distance rivals High Point College, hosted and defeated Guilford, Satur day December 5, 77-59. Coach Jack Jenson is a little disappointed with the record. "We played pretty hard in the first four games and split them," commented |H| 'ijjSHfS Hraß ; - .. 1| J|9 ./ .; | : : ;! : Coach Jack Jenson here on earth, all we have to do is leave," he sug gested. However, critical ly viewing this choice makes obvious the fact that this is not a solution. The other alternatives, Holliday claimed, is the "greenhouse" in which we live in balance with nature. This concept is the foundation for the Green Ideology. Opposition has been voiced against the move ment, accusing it of being socialist or commercial or of rejecting technology to return to the past. Holli day stressed that the movement is not con nected with any particular political ideology and that Coach Jack Jenson, "but when we didn't play well, the scores definitely reflected it," speaking of the Conference and district losses against Lenior-Rhyne and last Saturday's High Point game. Jenson played two newcomers in last Satur day's game and is looking at both of them with poten tial. Photo: Eric Buck 15 it is not a retreat into out moded ways but is a new attempt to solve the pro blems that have developed from the factory system. He admitted that since the k Green Movement is new there are many points on which supporters disagree but stressed that there are important basic values and goals which are seen as plausible and beneficial by everyone in volved. "If we learn to create c society and technology that, like the greenhouse, works with the natural en vironmental rather than oppressed to the natural systems then. We'll sur vive." Tim Beckwith, a very consistant player, accor ding to Coach Jenson, is a 6-4 sophomore out of Hampton, Virginia. Play ing guard against High Point he lead Guliford with 17 points, including three 3-pointers. David Wall a 6-5 freshman forward helped the Quakers with 13 points. So far this season is 78% at the line and over 50% from the field. "David amazes me." said Jenson. "He works hard with everything he has." With David Yancey out with a knee injury the team is missing a valuable player noted Coach Jack Jenson. "David Yancey was our MVP last season and he hasn't played a single game this season, his knee was hurt in preseason practice," Jenson said. "He lead the team last season and is very, very valuable. We hope to be able to play him this season." "I would like to see David Yancey play this season," said Jenson, "but right now we're just going to have to play as hard as we can and not always look for David." The Quakers' next basketball game will be a double header, with the Lady Quakers, at home against Carolinas Con ference and District 26 rivals Pfeiffer, December 12.
