Psychology department
joins in criticism of APA
By Simon Kelly
Staff Writer
In keeping with the college's Quaker val
ues, the Guilford psychology department re
cently joined a resolution framed by Earlham
College's psychology department calling for
a reform in the American Psychology Asso
ciation's (APA) stance on the participation
of psychologists in military detention center
interrogations.
Calling the APA's stance "ethically com
promised," the resolution brings to light the
discrepancies of the organization's stance,
seemingly condemning torture yet permit
ting the involvement of psychologists in
environments where torture tactics are sus
pected to be in use.
Prior to the drafting of Earlham's resolu
tion, the APA was subject to dissent within
its own ranks. Marybeth Shinn, the former
president of two APA divisions, chose to
resign over the organization's continued in
volvement in Guantanamo Bay and various
CIA black sites. She also voiced frustration
with the APA's tendency to either ignore or
suppress dissent towards its interrogation
policies within the organization.

Fan-subtitles translate culture
By Carl Barlow
Staff Writer
For many fans of Japanese
animation, or anime, the gap
between a show's debut in
Japan and the localized re
lease in the United States
can be a frustrating wait of
several months or years.
One solution is to turn to
fan-subtitled episodes of a
series, which can be found
and distributed over the
Internet. An individual or
group takes an episode, sub
titles it themselves, and then
distributes it over the Inter
net either by Internet Relay
Ghat or person-to-person
filesharing like BitTorrent.
"Fansubbers do it for
love of the art, not for any
money," said senior Bren
nan James, a member of the
Yachting Club and facilitator

"Her photographs convey something
that hovers over the flame of a more intense
world," said poet Veronica Volcow in her
introduction to the photography book: Flor
Garduno: Inner Light.
Guilford students and community mem

tion last Wed. observing the photography of
Flor Garduno, who has work displayed in
MOMA in New York, and the J.P. Getty Mu
seum in Los Angeles. The exhibit will remain
at Guilford xmtil the end of the semester,
and all students and Greensboro community
members are encouraged to come out and ob
serve.
"I think students and the surrounding
community need to be exposed to all kinds
of art on a regular basis, so it becomes part of
everyone's lives," said Porter Halyburton, a
Greensboro resident who attended the open
ing.
The Guilford College Art Gallery walls now
display images of nude women and still lifes.
Each picture is black and white and simple,
most of them somehow connected to nature.
The reactions of chatting observers proved
how many different meanings each picture
can convey. People discussed which was their
