Intercolonias teachers
from Mexico visit campus
WILL DODSON
staff writer
Last week, from Tuesday, April
8, to Sunday, April 13, three rep
resentatives from the
Intercolonias program in
Guadalajara, Mexico visited Guil
ford College. Teachers Maria del
Refugio Zarala Padilla, Estela
Zambrano Andrade, and Jose An
tonio Gonzales Tapia stayed with
Carol and Tom Clark. During
their stay the three toured Greens
boro and Guilford College, attend
ing classes and giving talks.
In 1992, Guilford students in
the study-abroad program were
invited to work within the
Intercolonias program, an organi
zation of low-income communi
ties around Guadalajara cooperat
ing to effect social and political
reform. By working towards
achieving short-tenn goals such as
new schools and governmental
recognition of land ownership,
said Carol Clark, Intercolonias
hopes to achieve the long-term
goal of creating a just and demo
April 18,1997
that never really went outside of
Guilford.
Provost Dan Poteet, who
headed the committee that ap
pointed Ketchum, said, "Through
a relatively new procedure, we can
appoint internally through the use
of absolute consensus by the inter
viewing committee, and we had
that in this case."
Ketchum is excited about the
new position, and says
he's been using his time
as the interim AD to plan
his vision for the future of
Guilford athletics. The
biggest thing for me will
be providing support for
the coaches and athletes
and enabling them to do
what they want to do,
which is compete at a
high level in varsity ath
letics."
When taking on two
jobs as time-consuming as
football coach and athletic
director, the ability to de
vote the necessary amount
of time to each is always
a concern. However,
. David Heggie, a junior
running back on
Ketchum's football team,
says it won't be a problem.
"I'm confident he'll be
able to handle the dual re
sponsibilities. He is an ex-
cratic society through education.
The study-abroad program in
Guadalajara differs from other ser
vice programs in that, according to
Carol Clark, students go in to leam
from their hosts rather than to im
pose their own solutions. "It's very
"The concept behind
the whole program is
the exchange lof
ideas]."

different, and it's very special," she
said. "We don't go in saying 'we
know what you need and we're
going to do it for you.'"
"Instead, we're coming to learn
from you because you know what
you need. It's a very humbling
experience, and we're learning a
great deal."
This is the second year repre-
tremely disciplined, organized, and
focused individual. He takes pride
in everything he does, so neither
job will suffer."
Not only does Ketchum want to
be able to take pride in bis job, but
he also wants Guilford to be able
to take pride in their athletic de
partment "One of my first priori
ties is making sure we get better
facilities," he said. "I think the first
focus will be on the weight room.
We have great fields, but our in
door facilities could use some im
provement."
With the improvement in facili
ties will come a change in attitude.
"One of the things we all need to
understand is that if we're going
to compete at a higher level, we're
going to have to demand more—
from both the coaches and the ath
letes," Ketchum said. "We need
to understand that there's a differ
ence between demanding more
and being mean."
Heggie doesn't seem to be wor
ried about his coach being overly
"mean." "He tries to do his job
better than any person before, dur
ing, or after his time will do them,"
he said.
Ketchum seems excited about
the prospects for the future. "I
think the situation is a real good
thing," he said. "I hope it'll be a
good thing for the College."
sentatives were able to visit Guil
ford from Mexico.
The visiting teachers felt it was
useful to know what Guilford stu
dents are like. Maria del Refugia
Zarala Padilla stated, "It's been
heartening to see the kind of edu
cation here with small class sizes.
It's a completely different situation
in Mexico; a school classroom
will have just some desks and a
blackboard with 50 to 100 students.'
Padilla also asserted Intercolonial'
appreciation of the respect and accept
UUMA/ VJIUAiVAU UUU IVA UJV UlgtUllui"
tion, but felt apprehensive because of
its limitations and wondered if they
had the power to respond to the level
erf acceptance they found here.
AmandaPhfllips, a fourth-year stu
dent and participant in the study
abroad program in Mexico, felt Padilla
and her compatriots had much to of
fer, however. "The concept behind the
whole program is the exchange [of
ideas]. I'm becoming friends with
people who before were statistics."
Carol Qaric agreed. "We are learn
ing a great deal. They are some in
credible teachers."
