Serendipity Only Ten Days Away
by Maria Smith
The Serendipity countdown has
begun. Guilford's annual spring fling
is a mere ten days away, and the
Student Union's Serendipity Plan
ning Committee has fumed up plans
to make this year's weekend-long
event an exciting and memorable one.
"This Serendipity promises to be
the best ever," said union president
elect Frank Go ins. "All we need is
sun."
Go ins and Bill S toe sen are the
Planning Committee's co-chairmen,
and, along with other active Union
members, they have been coordinat
ing bands and events since last No
vember.
"We sat down and thought about
what types of music and bands
everybody liked and then budgeted
accordingly," Goins explained. The
primary goal, he said, was to try and
involve everyone.
Sophomore Heather Mclver and
Senior Lori Meeks were the
Committee's "concert connections,"
and worked tirelessly to bring
Guilford musical fun and diversity.
Their efforts resulted in twelve
bands representing ten different styles
ofmusic—from the "Red Road Blues
Band," featuring Guilford Art Pro
fessor Roy Nydor, to the go-go dance
band "Rare Essence."
Serendipity offically begins on
Friday. April 7 th, with "The Popes,"
a progressive band sponsored by
Guilford's radio station, WQFS.
