At 9:30 on a Saturday morning, the campus looked as lifeless as it sounded. Walking up the path to Founders, it seemed that not even the squirrels had decided to climb out of bed yet. At the door, how ever, there was an unexpected dis play of color: balloons and a multi colored sign proclaiming, "Kidfest—Registration Inside." Within a few minutes, the place began to be overrun by volunteers blowing up balloons and, during the next hour, dozens of kids ar rived to participate in the first-ever Guilford Kidfest, held on April 6. The children, numbering al most 50, came from six Guilford tutoring sites all across Greens boro: Pathways, American Friends Service Center, English as a Sec ond Language at Spanish Church, National Black Child Develop ment, Westview and Silverbriar Elementary schools.

In fact, cooperative games in volving the entire group proved to be the favorite of several volun teers and organizers. Following the cooperative games, the children were allowed to choose from sev eral activities and rotated among different stations. The children ate lunch in the cafeteria, and the usual quiet Saturday brunch was re placed by a hectic group search ing out ice-cream cones. "I think definitely that the un planned moments were the best. We didn't think it would rain... and didn't expect to be outside, but it went great," commented Erin Selt zer, one of the original organizers and visionaries. Amanda Phillips, a fellow organizer, recounted an other unplanned moment —when two children wandered into Coach Ketchum's office and had great fun playing with a 10-pound medicine ball. Volunteers either took shifts or participated the entire day; in total about 30 volunteers turned out to staff member advised Security that the larceny look place between 1:45 and 2:30 pm.

There are two reported suspects in the case. April 7th - 4:12 a.m. - Vandalism At 4:12, a student in Bryan 822 reported that his door had been vandalized. The victim had no suspect information. A work order was issued for maintenance to repair the door - Tracy Welch, Security Supervisor make Kidfest possible. "It seemed we were having just as much, or more, fun than the kids," commented one volunteer. "The volunteer force was very strong," said organizer Kiley Holder. "Everyone did a great job of working together to make the day a success." Kidfest was planned by a com mittee known as GUTS —Guilford Uniting Through Service, which is already planning more events for next fall. "We really want to get word out, to have more participa tion from various aspects of Guil ford—faculty, students, and staff. That's why we're Guilford Unit ing." said Belmonte. Phillips articulated the ultimate vision of GUTS, hoping that next year it will become "more of a committee for action and service, constanUy planning and putting on events that involve the Guilford community and the greater Greensboro community—creating a link between the two and having that link be service."
