Young Democrats Club have
been named, according to
Barbara Anne Steegmuller,

someone to start the

spring. So we just got together
and started it ourselves," said
Miss Steegmuller.

For School Employes . . .
Wage Problems
By CRAIG CHAPMAN
The recent Poor People's
March and last year's
demonstrations at Duke
University have focused
increasing attention on the wage
scales of non-professional
workers on college campuses.
At Guilford the problem is
increasingly complex, since
unlike Duke, it has no incisive
endowment to fall back on. In
fact, it is increasingly difficult
for many small private liberal
arts colleges such as Guilford to
continue in operation.
This problem is due to the
spiraling per capita cost of
educating a small number of
Choir to
Vivaldi's
For the first time in decades,
The Guilford College Choir will
not present Handel's Messiah at
Christmastime.
"I don't know why The
Messiah should be traditional,"
commented choir director Eldon
K. Moen. "Tradition is fine and
dandy, but I think it's time we
expanded our horizons. I believe
students must graduate with the
knowledge of more than one
major work."
The 80-member group, one of
the largest in many years, has
already begun work on Vivaldi's
Gloria, to be performed Sunday,
Dec. 15. Faculty and other
members of the community may
participate in the annual event,
at which the regular season a
cappella choir expands to
become the Guilford College
Community Choir.

Lynn Marshall of Greensboro,
representative of WRA; Linda
Sale of Ronda, Sophomore
Class; and Marilyn Mclntyre of
McLean, Va., College Union.
The freshmen running for the
title are Linda Willis of
Greensboro, sponsored by the
students and the continued
stinginess of the general public
toward education. Despite this
background, in recent years it
has grown increasingly popular
for outsiders to blame college
administrators for the failure of
their respective institutions to
pay non-professional workers
the $3,000 to $3,600 yearly
income they needed to stay
above the poverty level.
Employes on the Guilford
College campus are paid from
$1.25 to $1.75 an hour (the
average is $1.40) for a maximum
42-hour week. In addition the
college offers such
non-unionized personnel a group
insurance rate, six paid holidays,
accompaniment for the
Christmas performance.
The tour choir, which will
number approximately 44, has
planned its annual tour for
semester break, from
Wednesday, Jan. 22, to Sunday,
Feb. 2. According to custom,
this year's concert tour will be
to Florida. Several engagements
have already been arranged on
the east coast, including Brevard
Junior College in Melbourne,
Fla.
In addition to the oratorio,
the concert choir has been
invited to sing in Mount Airy,
Graham, and Asheboro during
the holiday season. Second
semester plans tentatively
include learning and Faure
Requiem, which has never been
performed here before.
"A college explores changes,
JO why is music different?"
added Moen.
