Cafeteria Improvements
Eat, drink and be merry for today the food has improved. For any of you who
have ventured forth into cafeteria this year, this is not news. The improvements
over last year have been noticable and greatly appreciated.
Improvements have taken two forms - environment and food. New curtains on
the windows and flowers on the tables and in the serving area are adding to the
general appearance of the cafeteria.
Also, the cafeteria has become a platform for propaganda-freshmen posters,
homecoming announcements and sale notices. All this has lent to a general
atmosphere of life, conversation, and pleasure.
However, the greatest and most appreciated change has been in the food.
New innovations such as a cold plate for lunch, recognizable meats and vege
tables, hot rolls, and a choice of salads have added greatly to the joy of eating.
One Wednesday evening Mr. Lee overwhelmed the students with a real
Italian dinner from breadsticks, and non-alchoholic wine, a Guilford special,
to candles. Also, his efforts with the Homecoming Luau mark a new innovation
in Guilford dining.
The result of such a program is a marked increase in attendence - especially
at breakfast where the bright atmosphere aids in the dreary process of waking up.
If Mr. Lee continues at this rate we may have to make reservations to partake
of his world famous ' mystery meat".
Convocation Courtesy
Several things were accomplished by
our students during the convocation at
which Dr. Caldwell spoke on the modern
ization of college curriculums. One girl
found this an excellent time to write
her mother and one of our more talented
male students discovered he had the
ability to make
zipper on his fly creep downward by
shirting his hips in the seat. By the end
of convocation he had actually been able
to move it southward about half an
inch. This must have been one of his
proudest moments. If enough students
arejnterested maybe we can form "falling
fly" teams in each dorm and hold intra
mural competition in this marvelous new
sport.
Other students gave Dr. Caldwell a
warm welcome by studying throughout
his talk to us. This is a good thing
as I am sure Dr. Caldwell was relieved
to see that even if Guilford students
don't have any manners, at least they
are a studious lot.
We should show our guest speakers
at convocation a bit more interest. The
majority of them deserve whatever re
spect we as students can show them.
Dr. Caldwell's talk certainly deserved our
attention as it was on a topic that
affects us all and which a number of us
are quite caught up in: the changeing
of core curriculum courses.
Those students who gripe about having
to take two years of P.E. might have
found a basis to argue against it nad they
listened more closely to Dr. Caldwell.
Those who did listen found his theories
exciting and quite logical. I am sure that
there are many who listened and enjoyed
the ideas Dr. Caldwell shared with us,
but the ignoring and unmeaningfully rude
group appeared to be the vast majority.
Convocation can only be educational
and interesting to those who wish it to
be so. Next convocation try listening
to the speaker giving us his time instead
of to the idiot beside you with the jokes.
You might learn something.

Guilford College Pipes
and Drums Seeking
Recruits by: Herbert Poole
Sir Winston Churchill once said that
"a gentleman is one who can play the
bagpipes, but doesn't." Contrary to Sir
Winston, the Guilford College gentleman
is one who does. In fact, a visit below
the stage of Dana Auditorium at 5:00
P.M. on any afternoon of the school
week will tind students and faculty,
as well as faculty children learning the
noble art.
In 1964, Dr. Henry Hood came to
Guilford to teach history. In addition
to his teaching credentials, Dr. Hood
brought with nim more than a decade
of experience in playinq and teaching
the highland bagpipes. Soon after his
arrival, neophyte pipers and dancers began
to appear on campus. On Mayday 1966.
students were first seen dancing and
piping on the campus.
By January of this year, the Pipes
and Drums had grown in number until
there were ten pipers, five drummers,
and two dancers, all outfitted with pipes,
drums, and kilts that never ceased to
interest the crowds which gathered to
watch them perform.
During the 1966-1967 school year,
the Pipes and Drums performed through
out the Piedmont and Mountain areas of
North Carolina. Performances were given
on the campus, in Hillsborough, Pitts
boro. North Wilkesboro, on Grandfather'
Mountain at the Highland Games and
Gathering of the Scottish Clans, at Bur
lington and in Greensboro itself. More
performances are already scheduled or
planned for this year.
Playing the pipes or dancing the high
land fling (girls) requires hours of practice,
unflinching interest and perseverance, in
short, the patience of Job.
If you are interested or think you
might be interested in learning the pipes
or the Highland dances, and performing
with North Carolina's only pipe band
(indeed one of very few in the nation),
freshmen and sophomores are urged to
see Dr. Hood Mr. Poole; or Dave Roberts
the pipe-major; or visit the room beneath
the stage in Dana Auditorium any after
noon about 5:00 P.M.

THE GUI LFORDIAN
A newspaper's purpose, it would seem, is to report the news. However, a
good newspaper should set its goals much higher than this. A good newspaper
should present the news in a clear, unbiased fashion. It should Be accurate and
readable. More than this, a good newspaper should not be afraid to take a definite
stand on any controversial issue. It snould welcome the chance to comment on
campus life, problems, and movements. A newspaper should give both praise and
blame where thev are due. Moreover, a good newspaper should keep its public
informed as to wnat is happening - not only on the campus level but also on the
city, state, national, and international level where it pertains to the student. A
good newspaper should seek to broaden the views of its readers through care
fully investigated, well-thought out articles on a variety of subjects.
We of the Guilfordian plan this a good newspaper. Our aim is to make
it an important part of life at Guilford College. The Guilfordian is your news
paper. We are doing our best to give you the best, and we will appreciate your
contributions, your suggestions, your criticisms, and above all your support in
making the Guilfordian a truly good newspaper.

Taming of The Shrew
Petruchio: Pray, have you not a daugh
ter call'd Katherina, fair and virtuous?
Baptista: I have a daughter, sir, call'd
Katherina. With this Shakespeare and
now Zeffirelli take off with an invigorat
ing battle of (i the sexes in the "Taming
of the Shrew."
It's setting is Italy, and the story
begins in the classic way, a girl and a
boy, Bianca and her suitor. Then the
complications arise. Bianca's older sister,
the fair and virtuous, but wild Katherina,
played by Liz Taylor must be married
first as is the custom or the day.
Portraying life in Italy and jousting
with such a serious and festive occasion
as marriage, Richard Burton brings Shake
speare's Petruchio to life. He does this
in such a basically human way that some
audiences can not help but feel a part
of it.
It's an uproarious adventure to watch
Burton come riding to Padua on some
kind of work-horse dressed in dazzling
ruffled colors and run drunkenly up the
church steps into the church and down
the aisle to the alter to catch the shrew
Kate.
After spitting out the commonly quoted
phrase of I do and I will .., the crowd
disperses to the reception where Burton
receives his money and leaves with Taylor.
It is after Burton sees his wife come
shivering in the front of his home that
one's sympathy would arise.
Not so, the masculatinq act continues
until she recognizes the quality of marriage
is existence for the husband.
This harshness on the female sex may
seem unfair to some, but Shakespeare's
diologue is outstanding for all generat
ions and sexes.
Although Richard Burton and Liz
Taylor are type-casted it's such an en
joyable mood from the hillarious to the
sedate that it is diffinitely catching a
prize if not the shrew.
Incidently, the Guilfordian extends to
people - students, faculty, and others
ideas to explore, writing on anything -
experiences from books, films, ... and
ways to explore them openly by sending
them to trie Guilfordian of Guilford.
Statement of Policy
Freshman Spirit
With beany in one hand, a student
leader grasping the other, and many
do's and don t suggested about pro-
the freshman began their "orient
action' week at Guilford.
Most agreed that the program was
necessary to help the newcomers get
aquainted with college life before starting
classes. Some found the time between
assemblies boring. Others used the time
to get to know their fellow freshmen.
In contrast, it was the assemblies which
these students found boring.
The reaction to the night life was
slightly varied. Previously warned that
the social life at Guilford, was generally
away from campus, they were surprised
by the planned nightly activities. The
programs were well attended, however.
Most even took part in the square dance
(praying all the time that their friends
at home would never find out).
Student leaders were most encourag
ing during the entire program, and their
friendliness proved most helpful. How
ever, the idea of eating with these assjqn
ed groups was thought to be bad. The
fresnmen felt that meal time was a chance
to meet students outside your dorm.
Otherwise, the 'Big Brother' idea was
generally appreciated.
A more serious tone on the nightly
agenda was the book seminars at faculty
homes. It was felt a good idea to have
a chance to talk with professors and
find out the serious side of fellow class
mates. The home cooked meal added
a spark to the attendance of the first
meeting. Almost all students said this
plan should be continued.
The afternoon library tours were help
ful, if one had enough energy to benetit
by listening. The evening skits from
students of each state added variety to
the agenda. It gave the students a chance
to meet the people from their state
and to identify the class clowns.
After waiting in line for three hours
the freshman felt as if they had been
put through the grind during registration
day. They could honestly say they be
longed to college life now.
