VOLUME LIII
Cinema Course
To Be Offered
The newest course offered at
Guilford College, one which will
be instigated next semester, is
Cinematography. A "300"
course in the English
Department, it will be taught by
department chairman James
Gutsell.
The three-hour course will
involve a lecture and discussion
on Monday morning, followed
by a movie on Tuesday night.
The films to be shown are the
ones already on schedule as part
of the Guilford College Art
Series.
Among the movies on the list
are "The Golden Age of
Comedy," "Alexander Nevsky,"
"A Nous la Liberte," "Smiles of
a Summer Night," "Blue Angel,"
"Children of Paradise," "La
Strada," and the highly
controversial contemporary film,
"Blow-up." The roster includes
comedies and tragedies and
American as well as foreign
films, in chronological order of
production.
Gutsell says he is interested in
both technique and dramatic
criticism. Each week the class
will be emphasizing a different
aspect of the films including
their history.
"1 don't see why we should
ignore the motion picture
industry, because as I see it, it is
the primary dramatic medium
today," said Gutsell.
Students may enroll in the
course upon permission of the
instructor only.
Drinking ... On Campus?
The Student Legislature has recently organized a
committee to investigate the rules governing the use of
alcoholic beverages by Guilford College students. The
committee is composed of Fred Judge, chairman; Steve
Bowles; Martha Bradshaw; Steve Johnston; and Sally
Peterson, ex officio.
The formation of this committee was originally
proposed to the Legislature by the Guilford College Union.
According to Sally Peterson, President of the Union, "No
one is really sure of the origin of the present ruling," which
forbids alcoholic beverages from campus and also from any
college-related activiity.
The purpose of the committee is to determine the
feelings of the college community by extreme discussion of
the issue. Possible revisions of the present rules that will be
examined by the committee include the permitting of
drinking at off-campus activities, permitting of drinking at
College Union functions, and revision of the present
punishment of violators, which officially is automatic
suspension.
Human Concerns Council Formed
The Guilford Human
Concerns Committee recently
considered a proposal to
consolidate with the recently
formed Community Action
Committee of the Student
Federation for Action.
The Human Concerns
Committee was formed last year
to deal with the problem of
segregated barber shops in the
Guilford College community.
The group co-ordinated a series
of activities with both
governmental and civic groups
which led to the eventual
desegration of one local barber
shop.
This year members of the
committee plan to work in a

star for the Guilford College Quakers, runs through a happy scene
with his present co-star, Sally Peterson, in rehearsal for On A Snowy

known as His Name is Santa Claus. In the current production, which
will be given in Dana Auditorium Dec. 13, 14, and 15, Bregard
appears in the leading role of Santa and Miss Peterson plays the part
of the Little Boy. While this performance will be Bregard's first
appearance on stage, Miss Peterson is a veteran actress for the
college. (Staff Photo)
On A Snowy Day
Dream Come True
Every little boy's dream will
come true December 13, 14, 15
when the Reveler's produce Pat
Gilbraith's original children's
show, "On a Snowy Day."
It is the second major
production of the year at
Guilford, and with songs,
dancing, and comedy, it
promises to be a lively one.
The play concerns a little boy
and his wish to make every child
broad range of activities of
human concern. With the
formation of the Community
Action Committee, led by Vicki
Wyszynski, many members of
GHCC felt that a merger would
be advantageous to each.
Craig Chapman, chairman of
GHCC, outlined some of the
goals the consolidated group
hopes to achieve. "We hope to
have a faculty-student coalition,
with students taking leadership
roles, but relying on concerned
faculty members for advice and
counsel.
"Sub-committees have been
formed to deal with the specific
areas of housing and lowering of
the voting age. Other

"On a Snowy Day" had its
premiere on Guilford's stage two
years ago. The production in
December will feature some of
the college's veteran actors plus
one of its veteran athletes who is
making his first appearance to
Guilford's theatre audiences.
Direct from a three-year
engagement as a part of a
Guilford's basketball dynasty is

part of the Funny Angel. This is
Bob's first attempt at acting.'"
Karen Kleeger, a freshman, is
making her first appearance in a
major role. She was one of the
harlot's in "A Man's A Man."
She plays the part of the witch
in this production.
Sally Peterson, who has
appeared as the head witch in
"His Name Is Santa Claus" two
years ago, is playing the part of
the little boy.
The evening performances
will begin at 8:15.
A matinee is planned for
Saturday afternoon, Dec. 14,
followed by a party for
underprivileged children in the
Grill Room. The Student Union,
WSC, MIG, APO, and Student
Legislature are joint sponsors of
the annual event.
committees are under discussion
in areas of traffic safety and
draft laws."
Chapman expressed the
personal belief that "fifty-two
thousand traffic fatalities and
several million injuries per year
are simply not acceptable. Too
many of us liberals protest war
that results in loss of human life
and completely ignore the
senseless slaughter on our
highways. This is especially
tragic since more Americans
have been killed on our
highways than in all wars
combined."
Chapman, though planning to
relinquish leadership of his
group, will continue to be active
in areas of human concern.
Parking On Campus
Is It Safe?
By PHIL EDGERTON
Recently Milner dorm has
been the scene of vandalism to
several students cars. The
incidents range from the simple
cutting of an antenna wire to the
very serious act of slashing of a
convertible top.
These incidents apparently
occurred late at night, after
students had returned to the
dorm. So far, Greensboro city
police investigations have neither
yielded a suspect or even
established whether the acts
were done by Guilford students
or outsiders.
Although the school
administration has been notified
of this problem, no substantial
action has yet been evidenced.
Spotlights on the corners of
Milner Hall have been
implemented in an attempt to
light the parking lot more
adequately, but they are not
powerful enough to light more
than a small area around the
back door of Milner.
Many of the victims of this
vandalism are justly irate about
this vandalism situation and the
apparent lack of concern by the
college. Bob Beasley, who has
had his car seriously damaged on
three occasions in two years,
asks where the extra money paid
for car registration is going.
This hike in registration fees
was supposedly to pay for the
hiring of a Burns detective to
patrol the campus. So far the
only evidence of this "extra
protection" has been the trail of
parking tickets 1 this hian leaves
behind him.
Beasley says, "If this is
Johnnie Wood
Holiday Jubile
By PAT ANDREW
Founders Dorm is creating a
legend.
It is beginning to be known as
the surest, quickest route to
fame as a beauty queen.
In July of 1967, Sally
Stedman, then a resident for the
summer school session, was
crowned Miss North Carolina.
Last week another Founder's girl
received a claim to fame.
Friday, Johnnie Linda Wood,
a freshman biology major, was
crowned Miss Holiday Jubilee of
1968.
Johnnie, a native of
Randleman, is the youngest of
the John Wood's three
daughters. As the current Miss
Randleman, she was invited to
participate in the Holiday
Jubliee festivities by the
Greensboro Jaycees, the
sponsoring organization.
Along with the crown and
several trophies, Johnnie, was
the recipient of a SSOO
scholarship.

queen, attired in a blue velvet
gown trimmed in white fur,

protection I would rather pay a
dollar like it was four years ago
and protect my car myself."
One senior recalls that last
year a fire extinguisher was
stolen and the contents emptied
on about two dozen parked cars.
The results were ruined paint
finishes on several of the
vehicles.
Among Milner residents
whose cars have been damaged
are Art Bauer; whose ignition
system was ruined; Dale Mandel,
whose radio antenna was
broken; and John Green, whose
Convertible top was slashed.
All concerned feel that
enough incidents have taken
place to warrent some kind of
action by the "powers that be."
Steve Bowles realizes that there
is the human element in the
security on the Guilford campus
but he sees the need for more
men, better lighting, and more
checks on Milner parking lot
which is "off the beaten track."
Also Bowles stresses that, "it
seems as though someone's car
will actually have to be stolen
before any action's taken."
Another viewpoint is taken
by Jim Malone, head resident of
Milner Hall. He sees the need for
professional action on the
matter of vandalism, but he also
says that, "students should take
the responsibility to report all
malicious acts to the Greensboro
police."
Malone also feels that if these
students are involved, these
offenses are serious enough to
warrant court action rather than
si/nply . college disciplinary
procedure.
competed with 18 other
contestants for her title.
She appeared at a breakfast
and luncheon with the judges
where she was required to make
a brief speech and was
interviewed privately.
"I was really surprised,"
Johnnie said, when asked her
reaction to being crowned. "I
was most excited about the
scholarship," she said.
Along with some special
appearances she will make
during the Christmas season,
Johnnie will head next year's
Holiday Jubilee parade and will
of course, crown the next queen.
