Guilford's A ISA
Guilford College will
participate in the National
Student Association's "Time
Out" program Tuesday, Oct. 29.
Vicki Wyszynski is campus
co ordinator for the event.
Time Out, as proposed by
NSA, is a day set aside for
students to discuss current
issues, national and local, and to
plan student involvement in
these concerns. Instead of
attending classes, students will
attend specially-planned
seminars on subjects which they
themselves have instigated: a
speak-out session, a city-wide
solidarity march, a
student-teacher panel discussion,
and facilitator interviews.
One of the features of the
day will be an address by Charles
Morgan, Atlanta lawyer who is
an attorney for the American
Civil Liberties Union. He will
speak to the student body
during regular convocation hour
at 10 a.m., and moderate the
teach-in during the afternoon
march downtown.
Lest We Sligh
By EMILY HEDRICK
Lest the Republicans think The Guilfordian is slighting them
in its campaign coverage, an honest effort has been made to seek out
both major parties' candidates and evaluate tham accordingly.
A brisk, confident Richard M. Nixon flew into Greensboro last
week. It was not the first time. Eight years ago he came—when he
was running for President, you remember.
But the man who appeared this time was different. . . After
failing once, he had learned his lessons well.
Apparently, he had done his homework before coming back to
Greensboro. He was met by numerous members of the press and
news media at the local airport, including this reporter and
Guilfordian editor Jim Garvin. As he walked down the long line of
shuffling dignitaries, Our Man Milhous happened to stop near me.
A student of Youth (so we're told), Nixon made a pronounced
effort to stick out his hand. While shaking hands I made the
comment that I went to a Quaker college just as he had done.
"Oh, you go to Guilford," the candidate informed me,
chalking up Brownie points. "It's a fine school, a fine school."
As I was muttering something like, "Yessir, we think so, too,"
he went on about his alma mater, Whittier (in California), and our
fine sister colleges throughout the country, such as Earlham,
Swarthmore, and Haverford.
At this point, I popped up with what my colleagues from the
press were heretofore denied: an interview question. It went
something like, "What value has your connection with the Society of
Friends been to you?"
Notebooks and pencils flashed, cameras were trained—a floury
of activity as the Activist College Upstart was getting away with a

The Qtiilfor6ion
The Guilford faculty to date
has shown mixed feelings toward
the program, which will involve
cutting classes. While some
faculty members give full
support and intend to hold no
classes, others will consider
absence from class a regular cut.
Included will 'oe seminars on
the draft, community work with
children, the free university
system, and institutional racism.
Nick Marshall and Tim
Snyder, in charge of the seminar
on the draft, plan to have Dr.
Carroll Feagins of the
Philosophy Department speak
on conscientious objection, and
hope to bring in a representative
of the local draft board to
answer questions.
The seminar on community
action will be an open discussion
of opportunities for students to
do volunteer work in the
Greensboro area. Coordinator
Linda Rogers hopes to have
several outside speakers come to
this meeting to help involve
interested students in local
community projects, such as
mm
Saturday, October 26, 1968
tutorial, special education,
organization of small
"companion" groups in poverty
areas, and voter education.
Steve Pruitt is in charge of
the seminar on the free
university system, which will be
basically an open discussion on
the definition of this plan and
how to bring about academic
reform and next year's
curriculum changes at Guilford.
Allen Toothaker, is planning
the institutional racism seminar,
and he said, "We will investigate
the historical development of
racism Jlnd how it affects
American institutions and
society." Will Allred, executive
director of the state's Council of
Human Relations, will also

Meet the
Candidates
In an effort to involve the
campus with the 1968 election
and its issues, the Young
Democrats' and Young
Republicans' Clubs have planned
a special "Meet the Candidates"
program for Monday, Oct. 28 at
8 p.m.
The program, which will be
held in the Leak Room of Duke
Memorial Hall, will include
representatives of the national
Presidential candidates, as well
as the North Carolina
gubernatorial nominees. Each
speaker on the panel will present
a ten-minute summary of the
candidates' views.
Cox Evacuated After 50 Years
After a nine-month
construction period, Guilford's
new men's dormitory is opened
for occupancy.
Moving began first for
students housed in Frazier
Apartments and Friends Home,
foliowed by residents of Cox
Hall.
At first some Cox residents
were dubious about having to
move from their dormitory,
which, after fifty years of
service, has acquired
"character." However, with the

"Senior Citizens"
Join Coed Living
On Campus
By NANCY THOMAS
Guilford's second experience
with coeducational living has
taken a unique twist with the
arrival of four "senior citizens"
at Friends Home.
The Home was originally
built as a rest home but due to a
housing shortage was rented by
Guilford in 1967 and turned
into a girls' dormitory. This year
the problem of a shortage in
living quarters for male students
was solved by putting 36 boys
and 17 girls in opposite halves of
the building.
When asked how they liked
the situation, the majority nf the
residents expressed satisfaction.
"You have a feeling of
togetherness," explains Buddy
Smith.
Lou Elverson believes "If
you're going to have to live
together in life, you ought to be
able to leam it at Guilford."
Val Haith replied, "I love it.
The biggest reason is because of
the boys."
"It's an interesting experience
living in a co-ed dorm ... It
builds unity between the
students," said Charles Hill.
Some of the residents feel
that there are drawbacks to
co-ed living.
"I can't study around here
because of the distraction."—
Mike Hunt.
"Other girls have a better
chance to meet more people in
their regular dorm life."—Robin
West.
The elderly residents are also
happy at the Home.
"I like it. I love young people
. . . They haven't disturbed me a
bit."—Mrs. Stella Dow.
"I have no objection .. .
They are very nice."—Mrs. Ethel
C. Nevling.
new structure completed, few
complaints were heard.
Landrum Cross, assistant
dean of students, is head
resident of new "New Men's."
The building, which faces Milner
Hall, is partitioned into
carpeted, air-conditioned,
four-room suites. The bedrooms
are connected by parlors, and
each suite has its own bathroom
facilities.
This arrangement is intended
to provide both privacy and
interaction among students.
