The Qui I for (Son VOLUME LIII New Men's Dorm To Be Open Soon The news that construction of the new men's dorm is progressing ahead of schedule will be a relief to students living in cramped quarters on the campus. Dry weather has resulted in continuous work on the dorm and according to Dean Lanier, the new facility should be ready for occupancy by the early part of October. The actual date will be determined mainly by the arrival of the carpet which is expected within the week. Installation of the carpet should take approximately three weeks, and if the sidewalks and paving are completed at the same time, the dorm will be essentially ready. The new dorm seems to be of exceptionally good design. Apparently the planners, which included a student committee, realized mistakes in previously built dorms and came up with the best elements of the modern dormitories. The suite system of living, as exemplified by the new dorm, has been used successfully by the larger universities such as UNC-CH and N.C. State. Besides being more functional, the newer idea has proven to be better as an individual living situation than residence halls. Tongue-in-Cheek Hippies Fool Wallace Supporters LEXINGTON, Ky. (CPS) —George Wallace, a man who contributed greatly to the political polarization of this country, visited the University of Kentucky recently and was Miss Rau Unknown As Dean By EIWILY HEDRICK Though the campus has seen little or no evidence of her presence in person, Barbara Rau is now acting in the capacity of associate dean of students for Guilford College. She has been alive and well since July 1 in New Garden Hall. What kind of person is she? If one takes the time to seek her out, one finds that she is quite personable and friendly. She seems sincerely interested in the students and wants to get to know them, but it also seems inconsistent with her aim that she does not actively seek to do so. Perhaps this reserve is characteristic of her entire philosophy, which could be termed conservative. As for her view of the rules, she feels that Guilford is one of the more liberal colleges in this regard. "We are, after all, under pressure from parents and their expectations. There are (Continued on page 3) Friday, September 27, 1968 Mgr. j W^Bw JULIAN BOND Guilford Adds 336 Frosh Guilford's latest crop of new students, this year's freshmen, includes students from many varying backgrounds, including Canada, Dominican Republic, Nigeria, Chile, and England. The rest of the 336-member class comes from 19 different states, with 58% from North Carolina. Of the freshmen who actually enrolled, 282 attended a public high school, and 54 come from private school backgrounds. Most of the freshmen ranked in the upper 40% of their high school class, with 115 in the upper 20% and 103 in the greeted by a complete reversal of the polar stereotypes. While eight "straight-looking" anti-Wallace pickets paraded and a number of neatly-attired members of a campus action group passed out anti-Wallace leaflets, some 35 scroungy, bearded, sandaled, long-haired "hippies" (as they called themselves) demonstrated for nearly two hours in support of the former Alabama governor. Carrying placards reading "Turn on with Wallace," "Keep America beautiful, get a haircut," "Sock it to us, George," "America—love it or leave it," "Hippies for Wallace," and shouting slogans like "Law and Order Now" and "We're for Po—leece Power," the group was curiously received. Many of the crowd of 10,000 who turned out to hear Wallace were supporters from across the state. Some of them were able to perceive the tongues in the hippies' cheeks, but many were unable to cope with the reversal of stereotypes. After watching the hippies parade for several minutes, one elderly woman asked uncertainly, "They ARE hippies, aren't they?" "I thought hippies were for McCarthy," said a Wallace supporter who appeared dismayed by the prospect of association with freaks. Some Wallaceites were convinced the hippies were serious. "Hippies have SOME sense," said one. Another said, "If someone like that is for Wallace, I don't know if I'm supporting the right man or not." Solly Peterson Bond To Lecture At Convo With Sally Peterson at the helm, the Guilford College Art Series is getting somewhere. Just where it will go is up to its patrons. The talent speaking and music-making will be here. And it's quite an impressive list, if anyone has bothered to notice. The first major attraction in the concert schedule is classical guitarist and Baroque lutenist second fifth. Most financial aid applicants received some economic help. This year, 99 freshmen were recipients of scholarships and grants, which ranged up to $1,945. Loans were granted to 54 new students. The loans had maximum values of SBOO. This year the females out-number the males 178 to 158. Racially, the class is divided into 308 Caucasian, 27 Negroid, and one Mongolian. On their Scholastic Aptitude Tests, the freshmen who enrolled had an overall Verbal average of 502 and a Math average of 532. To fill the 336 slots in the class, 997 applications were considered by the Admissions staff. Arthur Waskow Reclassification Repeal Denied Arthur I. Waskow, 34 years old, and former convocations speaker, was turned down last week on an appeal to his Baltimore draft or to revoke his reclassification to 1-A delinquent status. Delinquent classification can speed up induction into the armed services. Waskow was one of ten men, including Dr. Benjamin Spock and Yale University Chaplain William Sloane Coffin, who last October 20 gave Justice Department officials a briefcase containing the draft cards of 357 Vietnam delinquent war protesters. He was notified in February that he had been reclassified 1-A, even though he is 34 (and in three weeks will be too old), married, and the father of two children and has a heart condition that gave him a 4-F (unfit for service) deferment. The Baltimore board justified its action on the basis of a controversial memorandum to local boards from Lt. Gen.(Ret.) Lewis B. Hershey, director of the Selective Service System, on October 24, four days after last fall's protest and the March on the Pentagon by thousands of demonstrators. The memorandum said participation in antiwar activity is grounds for reclassification. The Hershey memo was later "interpreted" by Justice Department officials as not binding, but merely an expression of Hershey's personal Number 2 heads art series Karl Herreshoff, who will appear Monday. The following evening a dance recital will be given by members of the N.C. School of the Arts from Winston-Salem. Julian Bond, the black legislator from Georgia, will lecture in the now-defunct required convocation. Other men who are contracted to speak here are NBC correspondent Sander Vanocur, novelist John Howard Griffin, civil rights leader James Farmer, and NASA technologist Dr. Albert Hibbs. Student and regular memberships for persons outside Guilford College are $5 and $lO, respectively. Support- or lack of it will determine whether they get their money's worth. A Ride Anyone? If enough student interest is shown, the cheerleaders are going to try to secure a bus for athletic events. In order to do this it would be necessary to have at least 35 students willing to travel to the games by bus. Interested persons are asked to contact Cliff Lowery, Director of Student Affairs, or one of the cheerleaders. opinion, after the letter was attacked as unconstitutional and contrary to the Selective Service Act's procedural protections. The Justice Department has since revised its views, now admitting that reclassification for protest activities may be unconstitutional, and recently opposed such reclassification in the case of James J. Oestereich, now before the Supreme Court. A Justice Department brief filed with the high court in that case says that while the October 24 directive may have been a statement of personal opinion, it "in effect did invite boards to utilize delinquency reclassification in a punitive fashion," a use it called inconsistent with the Selective Service Act and the Constitution." Waskow called the reclassification "an extralegal and unconstitutional punishment for resisting the American war in Vietnam." At his Friday hearing, he not only protested his reclassification, but asked his board to resign their posts. At the beginning of the session, Waskow asked that the normally closed hearing be open to the press and other observers. When he was refused and the room was cleared, he objected that closing the hearings is for the protection of the draft registrant, but that here the board, not the registrant, was closing the hearing. Dining Hall and Grill Room Under New Management The dining hall and Grill Room at Guilford College, operated by ARA Slater Food Service, are under new management this year. Ramon Burguillos, formerly assistant director for ARA Slater at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, is now managing Slater's operations at Guilford. John Lee, who had previously managed the cafeteria at Guilford, is now the food service's manager at Carolina Military Academy, Maxton, and Vardeli Hall, Red Springs. Other changes at Guilford this year involve Mary Hobbs Hall. Mrs. Frances Mitchell, formerly Head Resident at Hobbs, is now in charge of housekeeping for the campus. Mrs. R.C. Bishop, who was Head Resident at Shore Hall several years ago, has returned to Guilford to take Mrs. Mitchell's former position at Hobbs. Housekeeping and preparation of meals at Hobbs will continue to be done on a cooperative basis by the fifty girls who live there, reducing room and board expenses, as in the past. However, instead of buying food on an independent basis, this year Hobbs began purchasing its food from ARA Slater. Mrs. Mary Ellen ("Mur") Cathey, who has cooked at Hobbs for many years, has resigned and personnel is now also furnished by Slater. Food will not be prepared at Hobbs on weekends, enabling the girls to eat with the rest of the student body in the main dining hall. reclassified l-A Later Waskow told reporters the board had told him he could be reclassified 4-F "if I agreed to take back my draft card and promise never to do it again." He refused. McAllister Lauds College Union They finally did it. The College Union got a compliment from the Jim McAllister. The Greensboro Daily News entertainment editor gave his stamp of approval (admittedly, of dubious merit) to the series of films to be shown here. In his "Movie Notebook" Sunday, McAllister used such words as "fine" and "beautiful offering" in reference to the Guilford College Art Series' slate of films. The first film to be shown is "Jules and Jim" on Oct. 2. Since the movie list is already old, elaboration is redundant. However, if Mr. McAllister's previous scarcity of praise is any indication of worth, the GCAS has scored. Sargent Shriver on the Merv Griffin Show: "The War on Poverty is doing a great job. We had hundreds of boys who couldn't even qualify for the Army—now with the help of the anti-poverty program we have been able to send 600 of these boys to Vietnam and six have been killed already."
