It was referred to as "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Alli ance", not the proper "Gay Lesbian, Bisexual and Allies," which includes a large portion of the club. Also, the GLB Rep. is the correct name—not GLB A Rep. as we reported. Don't Be Alarmed! Smoke detectors will be installed in all rooms over Fall Break in order to comply with fire-safety codes. Normal cigarrette smoke should not affect them, but please be alert. Photographers! The Quaker Guilford's Yearbook The Guilfordian £ news G.U.T.S. and glory CORY BIRDWHISTELL staff writer Saturday, within a graceful Vic torian home called Summit House, seven Guilford students joined a hundred of their fellow community members for a day of service. They played with the children of the seven women, mostly drug offenders, who seek rehabilitation at the privately funded home. Laughingly warned about the pres ence of snakes, they gingerly shov eled leaves and straw from the backyard. Meanwhile, they learned a little bit about the lives of the women getting their lives back together at Summit House. They also learned about each other. Such was the purpose of G.U.T.S.--to ex pose people to the service op portunities in Greensboro and to build commu nity in the pro cess. "Hopefully we've introduced people to what community re ally is...not by name, but by ex perience," says Erin Seltzer, an organizer of the event. She, along with fellow kmrnmamm ■' it 3 *Wifefc ~m I^OH • 4F ' Max Carter attacks a bush sophomores Kris Belmonte and Taj Greenlee, worked with many members of the Guilford commu nity to implement their vision of service at Guilford. "We were disappointed last year because service was seen mostly as a Bonner and Project Community thing," explains WOMEN'S AWARENESS An open forum for discussion and community education about issues pertaining to women.

"We didn't sense (a commitment to service) in the greater college community." Hiey began their endeavor last spring with a day of activities for the children of Pathways homeless shelter. They called it KidsFest "It was eight hours of total chaos, but lots of fun," B elmonte smiles. Then, along with Dean of Stu dent Life Mona Olds, they set a date for this year's service day. The date coin cided with the festivities sur rounding President Don McNemar's inauguration. Scott Attar Six service projects comprised G.U.T.S., including one to clean up the campus for this weekend's cel ebration. Senior Mary Henry Hawes spent six hours around Hendricks Hall trimming hedges, digging up a dead azalea bush, an picking up trash. "We just tried to make the campus a little prettier," she says, "and doing so made me feel like I could at least play a part in the in auguration." Belmonte estimates over a hun dred members of the college com munity participated, including Don and Britta McNemar, faculty, staff, and students. Hawes says, "I think we need to have a service day every semes ter. It was neat to see that many people working together for other people, but we should have even more involvement from commu nity." "We hope that G.U.T.S. will be an ongoing service group," Belmonte says. "We have a better idea of what it takes to plan." The planning involved many people throughout the college. "Everyone had a role," Belmonte notes. "It empowered students-it was our vision but it worked because it was shaped by everyone involved." They hope to get a core group of people to carry their vision of community-wide service through the years. Seltzer says, "We want to make sure we're going to last, not die out. Simply the fact that it can be done is a living vision of what Guilford can be." Scott Attar
