FCC Approves Radio Station
If Bart Lippincott has had a
bigger grin than usual lately, it's
because the Federal
Communications Commission in
Washington has finally granted
permission to Guilford College
for the active construction of a
LOW educational FM radio
station.
Lippincott and assistant
business manager Jim Newlin,
along with three students who
were then Guilford College
seniors, began planning the radio
station in the fall of 1966.
Research into the technical
aspects of an educational radio
station went on for a year, and
in the fall of 1967 collection of
equipment and technical data
was begun. Formal application
was made in November, 1968,
and confirmation finally came
last week.
Color-blindness
Not For
By JEAN PARVIN
James Farmer visited Guilford
College last week to speak on
"an issue of prime concern
today—the issue of race, of
color, in the United States."
Farmer believes that "never has
tension (between races) been so
great as now... except perhaps
during Reconstruction days". He
declares that despite many laws
and slight progress, tension has
risen. Improvements so far have
been just a drop in the bucket as
far as Farmer is concerned. In
the past decade, often called the
era of the 'Civil Rights
Revolution'... the changes have
not succeeded in significantly
altering the life of the average
Negro... The decade was not
wasted", he says, "but it helped
primarily the middle-class Negro
who doesn't represent the
majority." The other Negroes
continue to "run up a down
escalator".
Farmer feels that "everything
The result was a walkout at the Wednesday night meal
and the open meeting held" afterward in the Leake
Room. Here students show their approval of a suggestion
to boycott the breakfast meal.
Friday, March 14, 1969
The Fine Arts Broadcasting
Society, under the direction and
leadership of Lippincott and
Newlin, has been formed for
students nterested in operating the
radio station, which will go on
the air mid-April. Disc jockies
will be students who join the
Broadcasting Society and pass
the FCC's test for third-class
operator's license.
Work has already begun on
the studio in the basement of
Duke Memorial Hall, beginning a
record library, and procurring
the necessary equipment.
Approximately $1,500 worth of
equipment will be bought by the
Fine Arts Broadcasting Society,
in addition to the nearly $6,000
worth of equipment donated by
various commercial radio
stations in the Greensboro

still the same" for black people
in America. Today he can legally
purchase a hot dog in any
restaurant, but he still does not
command an acknowledgment
of the dignity and respect the
hot dog represents.
"Blacks and whites", he said,
"are both victims of 'residues of
racist conditioning. The
'Hollywood image' of the Negro
has projected the image of a
clown, a buffoon, or a criminal.
A childlike oaf who we could
love perhaps, could pat on the
head like a puppy, but whom we
could not respect." School
textbooks often help to
condition young black children
to believe in their own
inferiority. Farmer declared that
blacks are conditioned to believe
in their own inferiority and that
whites, too, are conditioned to
believe in black inferiority. More
sensitive whites try to uproot
this feeling in themselves, but

Lippincott says that tentative
hours for broadcasting will be
from 6 until 11:30 p.m. six days
a week. The station will be
operating on a frequency of 90.7

approved by the FCC.

Consortium Libraries To Exchange
At the fingertips of every
student from Guilford, Bennett,
and Greensboro College lie more
than 265,548 books, not to
mention many periodicals,
records, slides, etc. The libraries
of the three colleges are
participating in a vareity of
cooperative programs to improve
the accessibility of materials to
everyone.
• If materials cannot be
obtained at his own library, a
student may go to one of the
others and, because of what is
called the Courtesy Loan Code,
borrow any unrestricted material
for three weeks. Reserve
material can be checked out by
permission of the circulation
librarian.
The following procedure is
involved in borrowing from one
or the other college libraries
which are a part of the
exchange. Get the materials, fill
out the cards, and present
student ID card. The materials
are the student's for three weeks
unless he wants to renew them.
Then he must return in person
to the library from which the

Protest B Ratina
Students Stage Walkout
Wednesday, Feb. 5, Guilford
(students staged a walkout from
the evening meal in the cafeteria.
Led by Zack Lowe, President of
the Student Legislature, the
walkout was the culmination of
a long period of student
dissatisfaction with the ARA
Food Services operated
cafeteria.
Following the walkout, a
meeting was held, attended by
approximately 250 students.
The consensus of the meeting
was that "responsible but
definite" action should be taken.
As a further sign of their
dissatisfaction, the students
planned a boycott of the noon
books were taken and have them
renewed by the librarian. By
personally dropping the
materials by his own library or
by leaving them at any of the
libraries, they will be returned.
Anyone who is late in
bringing back the materials must
pay 5 cents a day up to the
maximum cost of the material.
Payment may be made directly
upon returning the books, or by
paying the other library if it is
returned elsewhere. Fines stop
accumulating as soon as a book
is declared lost. An added $2.50
for processing accompanies the
placement cost of a lost book.
When it is impossible to get to
a library on a foreign campus,
then matters are facilitated
through the Interlibrary Loan
Code. An appeal to the
circulation librarian at the
nearest library will produce the
requested materials within a few
days.
The exchange of resources is
one aspect of the Tricollege
consortium which was
established by a federal grant
under Title 111 of the Higher
meal the following day.
In addition, committees were
established to investigate all
aspects of the cafeteria's
operations, and to attempt to
obtain improvements in its
service. The students wished to
complete their investigation
before the April 1 contract
renewal date of the food service.
An indication of the
unsatisfactory service that
concerns students is the "B"
sanitary rating the cafeteria
recently received. Reasons for
this low rating include
insufficient equipment, and
1 accumulations of dirt and bugs.
Meetings have been held with
members of the administration
and with officials of ARA Food
I Service, in an attempt to reach a
satisfactory solution. The
administration expressed
approval of the student
investigation.
In a meeting with the food
service officials, students'
demands included menu
changes, improved management
relations, improvements in
sanitation and quality of food,
and the keeping of an "A"
rating.
The student committees are
