Soldiers In Viet Nam React to
Guilford's Student Objectors
This letter is sent in reference to the
notice you, the students, passed out at
your college. V
During the past months the guys in
Viet Nam have suffered casualties and
moral loss. The main principle behind
this is the fighting for a cause of freedom.
You, the people who are behind this
notice, are the one main reason that we
the Gl's are over here in South East Asia.
With your protesting and proclaiming of
demonstrations we read about in our
weekly paper, we the fighting men wonder
what has happened to the true world we
left behind.
We would like for you to stop and
think of a few small details and consider
them mindfully.
A. You, the students of Guilford, are
more or less the same age as the guys
over here fighting. Well, do you hear
us complaining of the age limit?
QUESTIONS
1. Did you ever stop to think of what
generation you're living in and what
generation made it possible for you to
be free?
2. Are you a "War Baby," where was
your father?
3. Do you think this protesting is doing
any good?
a. Why don't you ask the guys over
here fighting for you this question.
(1) Do they like the "Hippies?"
COMMENTS OF THE Gl IN VIETNAM
1. If you, the protestors, would realize
how fortunate you are to be able to get
a college education while this con
flict is going on, and use your ed
ucation to benefit a cause, then you,
the students, would be doing your
country a great favor.
2. Have you ever stopped to think that we
the fighting guys don't like this con
flict either, but we are here, so why
hurt our morale by saying you are
against the things we are doing over
here.
3. One guy died beside me soon after I
was in this country. Have you ever
had that happen to you? Well, think
for a moment. If nothing is done
about this conflict, more than just a
few people are going to die.
4. Gl's have parents and loved ones, too,
but we were sent to do a job and
we're doing our best. So don't break
our morale down.
TO ALL "HIPPIES"
We the Gl's feel that if you want to
knock what we're doing in South East
Asia, just send us your address and when
we return to the United States we'll see
if we can't beat a little sense into your
heads, which your fathers and mothers
must have neglected to have done. We
hope you, the students of Guilford Col

cßj&
lege, who have participated in such dem
onstrations as these you are trying to
start, don't like what has been written in
this notice to you.
EXTRA NOTICE
It seems to the Gl that he is the more
mature one of the two in comparsion.
If you people would stop and take a
good look at yourselves to see how child
ish and silly you are acting, you would
realize what the Gl, your next door
neighbor, is going through for the people
of our time.
We sincerely hope some of you mighty
Quakers stop and think about what has
been said and just remember that you
may have this opportunity one day.
(Curriculum continued)
about "common experience" courses and
the "4-1-4" system.
He told me the "common experience
course" was a course that everyone in a
class took at the same time, like a
Science course required of all sophomores.
Apparently there would only be a few of
these, but later courses could be related
to them and a class would receive a
common orientation. Usually the courses
are a large lecture section and smaller
discussion groups.
The "4-1-4" system is very interesting.
Haul said that it calls for a four month
semester ending before Christmas holiday
vacation, and then one month of in
dependent study under faculty guidance,
but not necessarily on the campus - one
might travel. This is followed by another
four month semester. ,
From our conversation and a new set
of dummy "proposals" which Dr. Burris
let me see I will give a few examples of
the committee's deliberation. Both Haul
and Dr. Burris emphasize that these are
not to be taken as opinions of the com
mittee.
a. Increase the number of electives
to 18 hours?
b. Put a maximum on the number of
hours a department can require its
majors because departments tend
to proliferate their requirements
untill students have little elective
time?
c. Stop giving credit for elementary
languages?
d. Abolish the freshman composition
course and Soc. 200?
e. Abolish the thesis requirement and
set up an honors program for those
who can do a decent thesis?
f. Establish a program for study abroad?
g. Emphasize non-western studies?
The dummy set was in the form of a
specific curriculum. I have given a few
questions that it raised.
MIGHTY COMEBACK CRUSHES
CATAWBA
Dynamite and out of sight is all one
can possibly say about the Quakers per
formance against the Indians of Catawba.
The Quakes beat the Indians at the losers
home court 82-78. But the real story is in
how they accomplished their 10th straight
Carolinas Conference win.
Guilford, who is ranked fifth in NAIA
competition and eighth in the AP small
college poll was at a handicap before the
game even started. The Quakes had lost
Bob Bregard and Tom Loftus, first string
guards due to illness and grades respect
fully and pressed Senior Rod Gaylord into
service. Mr. Gaylord put in a very im
pressive performance in the Guilford vic
tory. From the begining of the game it
seemed like it would be all Catawba, and
a very long night for the Quakes. The
Guilford five were behind all during the
first period and went into the dressing
room down by 15 points. Catawba's
Durante was nothing but smoke in the
first half scoring 27 of his 36 points.
Bullock, Snyder, and Davis did a fine job
on our front line and held the Big K to a
mere 5 points. But Guilford was not to be
counted out.

New Course Offered:
MARINE BIOLOGY
This semester, the biology department
is offering a seminar-fieldwork type class
in Marine Biology. The class meets one
hour a week. The material covered will be
high lighted by a field work done over
spring break at Bay Campus of the
University of South Florida in St. Peters
burg, Florida. Before the trip the general
aspects of Marine Biology will be covered.
After spring break the class will make a
thorough study of the materials invest

There is a - chance that the trip will in

seventy-two foot boat. However, arrange
ments for this can not be made in advance.
A twenty dollar fee for transportation
and lab use is required of students in the
course. Participants are expected to pay
two dollars a night for a room on the

Catawba scored the opening basket and
led by 17 points, their largest lead. Then
our fabulous five came to life when all
was dark and dreary. Slowly the mighty
Quakers cut the Indian lead. First to 15,
then to 13, and finally to 10 with about
10 minutes to play. It seemed unbelieve
able but it was true, Guilford was coming
back and I mean back. Before most of the
spectators knew it Catawba's lead was
down to four and then two. A basket by
Gaylord with less than three minutes left
made it a brand new ball game. The lead
see-sawed back and forth until the last 36
seconds when the Big K made a lay-up.
Forward Ed Fellers put the icing on the
cake when he sank two foul shots with
nine seconds to go. The rest is all history.
Much credit must be given to the whole
ball team for their concentrated effort.
Little Bo Whitaker showed tremendous
spirit and true sportsmanship when he was
injured and received three stitches and
returned to the game until he fouled out.
The Quakes are the most impressive team
on the hardwood in the C. C. Conference.
Just keep it up Quakes and Kansas bound
you will be. They say things come in
threes. Let's hope so.
students may be excepted with permission
from Dr. Bryden, the department head.
The course may be taken on Pass-Fail
basis. Although it is after the date to sign
up for new courses, if serious interest in
the course is expressed, arrangements can
possibly be made.
