Guilford Art Series Ready to Go
by Laurel Nesbitt
Guilford's 1989/90 arts series,
entitled Guilford Arts, ETC (ETC
standing for "experience the celebra
tion"), will feature the Cambridge
Busters, a travelling duo who, ac
cording to series Co-Chair Joanna
Iwata, perform "classical music with
a twist"
The actual season begins Septem
ber 23 with renowned jazz guitarist
Stanley Jordan performing. On
October 14, the Cavani String Quar
tet will perform. There are no defi
nite scheduled events for November
or December, but in January, Danny
Sheie, a professional actor in resi
dence from Santa Cruz, will come
and work closely with a group of
students in a workshop atmosphere.
At the end of the workshop there will
be a production put on by all partici

The February event is much like
the one in January. Jacques
D'Amboise, who has been called the
"Pied Piper of Dance," will be asking
for volunteers (people who dance
and people who would like to learn)
for a three-day experience, at the end
of which will be a production. It is
GUILFORDIAN
News & Record reports, with pos
session of seven pounds of mari
juana, one and a half pounds of co
caine, two rifles, three handguns, a
milk carton of reported moonshine,
five containers of anabolic steroid
pills, and seven small bottles of ster
oid solution. Also seized were a
pocket-sized pager, approximately
$4,000 in cash, and seven packaged
syringes.
Both the Sherifr s Department and
the Greensboro News & Record
estimated that the street value of the
this sort of event which Joanna I wata
says is the series' distinguishing
characteristic. "In terms of conceiv
ing the series, we wanted to make
sure that there were some compo
nents built into it which were unique
and which capture the essence of a
true liberal arts education, which
involves the bridging of co-curricu
lar and curricular activities."
Kurosawa Koto, a husband and
wife ensemble who perform on Japa
nese harp, will appear in March. In
April, there will be the band "1964,"
a group devoted to the Beades in
retrospect. In addition to the formal
events, there will be two or three
performances involving informal
meeting of students and faculty with
musicians and actors.
All events will be held in Dana
Auditorium and students may attend
them without charge. However, stu
dents also must pick up priority passes
before the event in order to have
priority over the members of the
community who will be paying to
attend. These will be made available
at the information desk in Founders.
Ed Lowe and Joanna I wata are the
Co-Chairpersons of Guilford Arts,
ETC. A board of directors consisting
of representatives from the faculty,
students, Greensboro community,
and the Working Committee sub
group, have the job of actually ar
ranging the events. Lesly Funk, a
student on this committee, has this to
say about the series, "This is a fun
way to enjoy classical music."
Guilford Arts, ETC is being ap
proached with great enthusiasm.
Those on the committee have high
hopes for the series' thriving and
expanding in coming years. As
Joanna Iwata says, "Catch the spirit!
Celebrate the Arts!"

narcotic drugs ranged from $130,000
to $190,000. Both also reported that
the steroid solution and pills exceeded
the 100 dose limit without a prescrip
tion set by North Carolina state law.
In a discussion with Detective
McCurry of the Guilford County
Sheriffs Office, the Guilfordian
confirmed both the firearm and drug
charges; however, McCurry revealed
that Brent Tart received the majority
of the charges and that Joey Motsay
received "constructive evidence"
charges due to the fact that he was
living with Tart Tart was released
on a $75,000 bond and Motsay was
released under an "unsecured bond."
According to registrar and athletic
reports, both students were either
currently enrolled or had recently
graduated from Guilford and had
participated in past years as mem
Quaker to be Released in Mid-April
by Jay Underwood
The 1987-88 Quaker will be re
leased by mid-April with modifica
tions spawned by legal complica
tions, including the omission of
material found objectionable by
some students. Publications Board
officials said last Monday.
Approximately six pages contain
ing controversial photographs and
text will be deleted from the book
before its distribution, including
some non-controversial photos that
will be omitted inadvertently be
cause they are included on the same
pages as the deleted material.
The most significant omissions
include a two-page color photo and
some of the copy depicting Seren
dipity streakers and the photo spread
entitled "Off-Campus Pleasure Pal
aces," which contains a picture of a
female student pulling up her shiit.
In each instance, certain students
depicted in these spreads approached
the Publications Board in early Feb
ruary and asked that the objection
able material not be included in the
book. "Both pictures and copy will
be deleted by the request of those
students," said Publications Board
Chair Joanna Iwata. "We responded
to student concerns and acted upon
them."
Officials said that 1987-88 Edi
tor Andrew Stuart failed to obtain
written releases that would grant

bers of the football team.
Prior to Thursday' s arrest, W. Brent
Tart was enrolled as a main campus,
part-time day student and was taking
two classes at Guilford. He enrolled
at the college in the fall of 1982 and
continued through the fall of 1985/
86 when he left, returning in the
spring semester of 1986/87. Tart
also participated as a fullback on the
Guilford College football team for
several years; however, injuries lim
ited his participation.
Joseph Anthony Motsay graduated
from Guilford, following summer
school, on July 26, 1986 with a de
gree in Sport Studies. He also par
ticipated on the Guilford College
football team as a linebacker but only
saw limited action due to injuries.
Motsay also worked part-time in the
school's Athletic_Department as
every person included in the contro
versial photographs. Had the ex
plicit photos been printed without
permission of the subjects, the col
lege would have been vulnerable to
lawsuit
Some of the students in the deleted
photographs were also mentioned by
name in the captions underneath
without consent. One student alleg
edly asked Stuart not to print his
name, but after assuring him that it
would not appear, Stuart printed it
nonetheless.
Publications Board officials said
that some of the captions that accom
panied the photos, which were all
written by Stuart in the first person,
were deleted because they were de
rogatory toward individual students.
"His copy consistently used poor
judgement," said Piper Co-Editor Jon
Strohl.
Board officials were quick to re
fute Stuart's allegations that material
was deleted because it presented the
administration in a negative light.
"We didn't remove any copy for that
reason," said 1989-90 Yearbook Co-
Advisor Thorn Espinola.
The decision to delete the two
page color photo of the Serendipity
streakers was made by the college's
Board ofTrustees in consultation with
College Attorney John Hardy. "It
was the most clear violation of stu
dents' privacy," said Dean of Stu
dents Nancy Cable-Wells. "From

"Joey appeared to be a really nice

dence of any drug use while he
worked as a trainer, and he often
went above and beyond what people
asked him to do. He did not cause
any trouble while he worked here."
Head Football Coach Charles
Forbes also spoke favorably of Mot
say as well as Tart; however, he
expressed disappointment that die
two boys could possibly be involved
with drugs.
"Both Tart and Motsay seemed to
both be polite young men. It sur
prised me to hear that they could be

die very beginning, this has been
non-negotiable for legal reasons."
The reason this became an issue
for the trustees is that they have a
responsibility to protect the assets
of the college and die rights of the
individuals at the college," said
Cable-Wells.
Not all of the nudity included in
the original book will be deleted.
Many of the pictures of the streak
ers will be reprinted by request of
the Publications Board, with an es
timated cost between three and six
thousand dollars. "We were willing
to put out extra money to reprint the
color pictures of the streakers," said
Espinola. "We wanted to satisfy
our own sense that we were not
censoring."
The Publications Board consists
of seven students, two faculty mem
bers, and two administrators, and
makes decisions by consensus. "The
decision was made on a boardof
mosdy students," said Strohl. "It
can't be said that [the decision was
influenced by] the administration's
stronghold, because it wasn't"
As for Stuart's accusation that
the decision was an example of cen
sorship, officials adamantly dis
agree. "Censorship is something 1
would never be involved in," said
Cable-Wells. Said Strohl, "There is
absolutely no censorship in the rec
ommendations made by the Publi
cations Board."
