'Meaningful Dialogue"
Excites CU Retreaters
By EMILY HEDRICK
"Meaningful dialogue" was
the order of the weekend when
forty Guilford College students,
sponsored by the College Union,
retreated last Saturday to discuss
the school-its perspectives, its
attitudes, its problems.
They came back full of ideas
and proposals, as well as with
the attitude of "do-something."
The four general areas of
concern led by Mark Lessner,
Vicki Wys/ynski, Val France and
Dan Hulburt, respectively, were
academic life, social life
(attitudes), school services, and
school restrictions.
First of all, the physical
surroundings and the format of
the program were conducive to
"meaningful dialogue" among
the retreaters themselves. The
retreat was held at Betsy Penn
4-H Camp on teh Chinqua-Penn
Freshmen Vi
Approximately fifty
candidates for the Guilford
Select Freshman Scholarship
Program will visit the campus
Saturday. The purpose of the
visit is to give the students a
chance to tour the campus and
meet with members of the
faculty and the administration.
The day will begin with
refreshments in Founders Hall,
folowed by a welcome to the
candidates from President
Grimsley Hobbs.
A tour of the campus will be
followed by explanations of the
new curriculum, the Select
Freshman Scholarship Program,
and the Richardson Program.
Sally Peterson will address the
candidates at a luncheon
Friday, March 21, 1969
plantation near Reidsville. It
began formally Saturday
afternoon, following a dinner
meeting Friday evening with the
administration and faculty
members included in the group.
The students had Saturday
alone at the camp, breaking up
into their separate, pre-arranged
groups to try to iron out some
of the issues confronting them.
They were joined Sunday
morning by the older members
of the college community,
individuals of whom met with
the various., groups for two
hours. After a late lunch,
everyone met together for a
round-up of ideas, conducted by
Dean Jerry Godard.
One -of the main things
stressed by Sally' Peterson,
Union president? and
co-ordinator of the retreat, was
that the group was not an
official decision-making body,
meeting and acquaint them with
the social and cultural activities
offered by the Student Union.
After lunch each perspective
freshman will be interviewed in
the Hut.
Fifteen Select Freshman
Scholarships will be awarded.
Requirements for application for
a scholarship were a minimum of
1200 points on the College
Entrance Examination Hoard
and membership in the top 25%
of the applicants class.
Students who have taken
rigorous academic courses and
who rank high in their class will
be given preference. The
scholarships will be awarded
principally on outstanding
scholarship rather than need.

Overcutting Members Ousted
Lowe Term
Irresponsible
Monday night's student
legislature meeting was, to quote
Zack Lowe, president, "a true
indication of student
irresponsibility".
The main purpose of the
meeting was to review the
1969-70 student activity fees
budget. The $50,000 budget has
been under study for three
weeks by the legislature finance
committee headed by John
Moorman.
According to Lowe, the
legislature was irresponsible,
uneducated as to the purpose of
the budget, and unconcerned
with the complications of their
actions. "They were notified
three weeks in advance of the
importance of the meeting and
the probility of having an
extended meeting.
In giving examples of his
cause for citicism, Lowe
the newly formed seminars
committee for New York and
Washington.
Dick Sifferlen, the candidate
for treasurer, is the current
vice-president of the junior class.
He is a rising senior majoring in
Economics and has served as
vice-president of 1968 Dorm,
and Cox Dorm. He is a member
of MIC. and MIC. Judicial Board.
In making the announcement,
Hulburt listed twelve points he is
concerned with. They included
establishing a bookstore
operated by students, open
visitation in Men's dorms,
expansion of the seminars
programs, more parking facilities
and freshmen being allowed to
have cars on campus, and an
increase in library materials,
especially for special student
groups.
mentioned the Scholarship
Society debate and the Athletic
fund abolishment.
The debate concerning the
SIOO the legislature appropriates
to the Scholarship Society
centered around whether or not
the legislature ought to pay for
recognition pins for the society
members. Debate lasted around
30 minutes.
The Athletic allottment of
$6,000 was abolished after 15
minutes of debate. Abolishment
of the fund would mean that
students attending any athletic
events on campus would have to
pay at the door or buy tickets.
I)r. Herbert Appen/.eller stated
that it could mean a decrease in
the funds available for the Men's
intramural program and
curtailment of minor sports on
campus such as golf, tennis and
wrestling.
Of the 41 legislature members
who answered the roll call at the
beginning of the meeting, only
'.VI were present w hen a quorum
was called on an issue under
deliberation. After the quorum
call, two legislature members
immediately left the meeting,
making Ihe call two short of I he
number needed to continue
debate. Action on the budget
was suspended until Monday
night.
The validity of (he spring
elections on Tuesday will hinge
on action taken by the
legislature next Monday night. If
the budget is not passed, no
candidate's elections will be
valid.
Zack Lowe announced in
convocations Tuesday morning
that the names of all legislature
members having more than two
unexcused cuts would be
removed from the legislature
roll.
This is in accordance with a
long standing legislature rule
stating that members are
permitted only two unexcused
cuts. Members are permitted to
send alternates to legislature in
their place and this is not
considered cutting.
Lowe stated that
irresponsibility on the part* of
the legislature members \vo.uld
no longer be tolerated and
letters were dispatched Tuesday
