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.

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

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

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."
