VOLUME LIII
Free Press Paper
Sought by Students
By PAT ANDREW
Announcement is made of
the birth of a free press
newspaper on the Guilford
Ca'.ipus. The new arrival is
expected to appear during the
week before the Thanksgiving
holidays.
Conceived by Allen
Courtney, Evan Davis, and Bill
Sherman, the new creation,
called "The Liberator", by its
founders, proposes as its main
objective the idea of giving
students a free voice.
According to Music Editor,
Bill Sherman, the paper will be
the media in which new
thoughts on campus may be
expressed.
"We want to present issues,"
he explained. Elaborating on his
statement, he said the issue of
women's rights on campus
would be one of the first treated
in the publication.
Sherman said the idea of
Polls Clash
Hert is the last election poll
with which readers will be
plaguec Admittedly, by the
time this issue appears, the 1968
election will be history, barring
unforeseen calamities with the
Electoral College.
This survey was conducted
two weeks ago by the Young
Republicans and Young
Democrats on campus. Besides
the fact that this straw vote
conflicted with that of The
Guilfordian's Reu Poll published
last week, there was a
discrepancy between the
findings of the two sponsoring
organizations. Whereas YR
President Sarah Hodell's
statistics showed that Guilford is
predominantly Democratic in
party alliance, Barbara Anne
Steegmuller of the YDC claimed
that the majority of the campus
is Republican.
A later tallying of the
approximately 450 students'
ballots gave the following
official results:
PARTY PREFERENCE
Democrat—4o.l%
Independ.—24.2%
Republican—3o.2%
American Independ.—s.s%
PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Nixon—s6%
Humphrey—3s.3%
Wallace—B.7%
GUBERNATORIAL RACE
Scott—64.6%
Gardnei^3s.4%
6th DIST. CONGRESS. RACE
Preyer^6B.2%
Osteen—3l.B%
Of all voters, 23% were
legally old enough to vote; of
these, 90.3% are registered. In
addition, only 33% are N.C.
residents, and 37% of these are
from the Sixth District.
The QuilforScm
organizing an independent
newspaper arose when an article
written by Evan Davis for The
Guilfordian was refused by
Editor Jim Garvin.
"We decided to publish our
own paper then," he said.
Sherman stated the origin of the
newspaper was not the result of
affiliations with any
organizations or groups on
campus. "And, I'd like to see it
remain free of any ties," he said.
Courtney and David, acting as
co-editors, have talked with
members of the Publications
Board and have recieved
financial backing for printing the
first issue.
Commenting on Evan's
article, Guilfordian Editor
Garvin stated, "The boy just
walked into the office one day
and said he wanted to write
editorials." Garvin issued an
invitation to him to join the
staff, "But he didn't seem
interested," he said.

TIME-OUT MARCHERS—These twenty-odd Guilford students were among the 500 persons from
Greensboro's five colleges and universities who participated in NSA's Time Out recently. The students
shown here joined an equal number from Guilford at the county courthouse to hear speeches about
student power in the community, the program's main topic for the day. The "solidarity march" was
patrolled by dozens of Sheriff's Dept. representatives as well as an entire platoon of Greensboro City
Policemen, one of whom is seen in the center background. (Staff Photo)
Dress Rules
By JEAN PARVIN
By now everyone in the
student body should be well
aware of the women's new dress
rules. But very few Guilford
students know how this change
was initiated. Final approval was
granted by the Student Affairs
Committee. The eleven students
and faculty members in this
group—Martha Bradshaw, Steve
Bowles, Sue Sherrill, Keith
Parks, J. C. Grice, Dr. Darryl
Kent, Donald D. Christiansen,
Miss Gwen Reddeck, Dr. William
Lanier, Miss Barbara Rau, and
Dr. Jerry Godard—voted
unanimously to accept the
four-part proposal.
The reform was instigated by
concerned women students.
Barbara Norton, rules committee
chairman of the Women's
S & G Come In First
Our question for this week's poll was "What's your
favorite recording group?" and the responses we got show a
wide variation of tastes. Simon & Garfunkel's folk-rock
sound seems to be the most popular, as that group edged
out the soulful Temptations for first place.
The ever-changing Beatles placed third, though well
behind the two frontrunners in total votes. Then came San
Francisco's Doors, followed by two more soul groups, the
Four Tops and Smokv Robinson's Miracles, rounding out
the top five (the Tops and the Miracles tied for fifth place).
We divided the votes according to sex and found the
guys like the Beatles best, and the girls prefer the
Temptations. The support for Simon & Garfunkel,
however, was more consistent from both major sexes, hence
our winner.
Our results are presented in per cent of the total vote,
and in per cent of male and female vote. So, on a musical
note, here's the way things sound:
GROUP MEN WOMEN TOT.
SIMON & GARFUNKEL 12.7 21.0 18.1
TEMPIATIONS 7.3 21.9 16.9
BEATLES 20.0 3.8 9.4
DOORS 9.1 5.7 6.9
FOUR TOPS 7.3 5.7 6.3
SMOKY ROBINSON &
the MIRACLES 3.6 7.6 6.3
Other groups receiving sizable votes were: The Association,
the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Big Brother & the Holding
Company, Peter, Paul and Mary, The Tarns, the Dickens,
the Cream, Moby Grape, the Rotary Connection and the
Mothers of Invention.
Student Council, wrote the
proposal. When it was presented
to the WSC members, the
proposition was passed
unanimously. Women students
then voted on the slacks rule. All
four sections of it were passed
by large majorities.
Each SAC member received a
copy of the rules change and the
results of the women's balloting.
Although the women were given
the right to wear bermuda shorts
and slacks to all classes and all
meals except Sunday noon, the
SAC members wished to
emphasize that all students
should continue to consider
neatness in their dress. Gym
shorts are still to be worn only
to gym class and intramural
activities, and no bare feet are
allowed in the cafeteria or
classrooms.

Time Out
Evaluated
By VICKI WYSZYNSKI
Tuesday, October 29,
Guilford students sat on the
country courthouse steps
participating in a teach-in,
college parlors and lounges were
continually occupied with
students involved in discussions,
TV and press followed close on
the heels of guest speakers, and
traffic on Founders porch was
slowed by a crowd of nearly 80
people "speaking out"; all
because it was Time Out Day.
Starting the day was a two
hour discussion by about 25
participants concerning the
major and minor curriculum
changes being effected next year
and the possibilities of
establishing a free university
here. Dean William Burris
presented the viewpoint of the
administration.
Students enlisted in
community oriented activities,
resulting in the reinstatement of
GUTS, Greensboro United
Tutorial Service, at Guilford. On
a non-partisan basis other
students got voters to the polls
last week. A mock election was
also held in conjunction with
Time Out.
Approximately 40 persons
attended the seminar on the
draft and afterwards many
arranged appointments with the
trained counselors who lead the
discussion.
The Speak Out where anyone
may "talk, be heard, asked
questions and be answered" is
being planned as a monthly
event.
In a peaceful demonstration
to solidify relations between
students and the community and
to show that student
involvement does not and should
not mean destruction, 35
Guilfordites joined students
from the other Greensboro
colleges.
Under the general guidance of
the National Student
Association and the United
Christian Movement, Time Out
was a day for students to
examine current issues and to
define what their role should be
in them.
