I Richardson Students Attend N. Y. Seminar
This year's Richardson Fel
lows started their year at
Guilford with a fun-filled fact
finding week in New York. Soon
after they arrived Sunday, Aug.
31, the students discovered New
York is a city of contrasts; they
spent the week exploring these
contrasts.
Sunday evening at the William
Sloane House, where the group
stayed, a Newsreal film force
fully presented the tragedy of
Lincoln Center. Students real
ized that the precious culture
and life of slumdwellers were
destroyed in order to build Lin
coln Center, a beautiful cultural
mecca for wealthy New Yorkers.
Monday the Seminar group was
split into five walking-touring
groups to explore the city first
hand* Each group saw a dif
ferent part of the city, and
that night at a "synthesis"
session everyone shared his
experiences—from Chinatown
to Harlem, the East Village,
Washington Square Park, the
Bowery, Lincoln Center, Cen
tral Park, Riverside Park and
Columbia University, Wall
Street, and Fifth Avenue.
Dinner Monday was scheduled
at "Centers for change," a ra
dical university. Dr. Fred
Newman, founder of the school,
explained the school tried to let
each student learn what he want
ed to learn without wasting time
on irrelevant studies.
"Centers" tries to provide
teachers and facilities for
each student, but the student
must inititate his own course of
study. The {>eople who form the
nucleus of Centers for Change
live together in a commune and
also run a Suinmerhill School
for kindergarten age children.
In order to learn about inter
national politics, the Fellows
visited the United Nations Tues
day. After a hasty tour of the
U.N. Buildings, the group met
TV Quilfonttcm
troversy with more liberal
board members. Disagreement
arose over such issues as the
acceptance of federal funds, the
recent enlargement of the Board
of Trustees to include non-
Quakers, and the general poli
cies of Guilford's present ad
ministrators.
with a woman from Pakistan who
works for UNICEF. She ex
plained the evolution of UNICE F
from a post-World War n
agency providing aid for
war orphans, to its present
program of providing health
services, education, and
proper nutrition for the one
billion children under 15 years
old in the world. UNICEF will
engage in any project which
helps children or mothers, but
only if a country asks for
UNICEF aid and doesn't have
the resources to provide the
services Itself. Afterwards,
Miss Mariella Martinez, 3rd
Secretary of the Jamaican Mis
sion to the U.N., spoke about
the role of women in the
United Nations. According to
her, women have only token rep
resentation, even though Angle
Brooks from Liberia is Presi
dent of the U.N. General As
sembly, 24th Session. Following
lunch, a member oi the Austral
ian Mission explained the
history, purposes, and power
structure of the U.N. He be
lieves that there is little hope
for revamping the current
power structure to make it more
representative of the world
today. At the United Nations the
contrast between nations was
obvious, but was partially com
promised by the "one nation,
one vote" theory. However,
speakers noted that 105 mem
bers of the U.N. contribute less
than 16% of its money. The
power of veto held by the United
States, U.S.S.R., Great Britain,
France, and China (Taiwan) is
right, claimed the Australian
speaker, because two of these
five nations give major mone
tary support and power strength
to the U.N., and they also hold
more power in the world today
than other nations.
At the Ghana Information Ser
vice Center several blocks
away, students saw a film on
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1969
Last spring, Frazler drew the
Ire of many students and faculty
members because of his widely
publicized defense of well
known slumlord W.W. Horton.
Reliable sources Indicate that
there is substantial support for
Brown's assuming the chair
manship in the event of Fraz
ier's resignation. However,
Brown is reported to be reluc
tant to accept the post.
Reu Given
Suspended
Sentence
Doug Reu, a former Guilford
freshman who was suspended
from college last year after
being charged with possession
of marijuana by Greensboro
police has received a trial in a
Greensboro criminal court. The
original marijuana charge was
reduced to trespassing, for
which Reu was convicted and
given a suspended sentence.
Ghanaian history and received
pamphlets about Ghanaian cur
rent events.
Housing was the issue ex
plored Wednesday. Tane Bene
dict from the Metropolitan
Council on Housing discussed
that program with the Seminar
group, and later in the day the
Fellows saw local housing. The
walking tours and individual
exploration had shown the wide
variety of availability and qual
ity in housing. At dinner, Silke
Hansen told of the Lower West
Side Community corporation
work and also of the problems
caused by Urban Renewal-type
programs which dislocate peo
ple from homes.
In Finley Hall Student Center,
City College of New York on
Thursday, Dr. John Ferrell ex
plained the Admissions plan
proposed by the Puerto -
Rican--Black Student Movement
at CCNY. This plan would al
low any graduate from thirteen
certain New York City high
schools to enroli at CCNY, des
pite his qualifications. These
students would fill up to half the
freshman class. The other half
of the class would be selected
according to standard compe
titive methods. The thirteen
high schools which have special
consideration are those who
send more than the usual num
ber of graduates to college.
Once the students from these
schools enroll at CCNY, they
will be offered tutorial aid and
enrichment programs, but will
take regular classes and be
graded on the same basis as all
other students. Hopefully, this
program would promote tutorial
services and higher academic
standards in the thirteen high
schools. Although this plan was
not accepted at CCNY, the
Black-Puerto Rican Student
Movement plans to continue
working for it.

lecturors or programs of en
tertainment as those of two
years ago, but will be primari
ly of a nature that will reunify
the student body and re
establish communication in the
school. President Hobbs' ad
dress to the student body and
candidate's speeches for
student body elections were two
of the programs suggested dur
ing debate on the bill. Souther
land feels that Guilford went
from the extreme of having
"convo" every week to the
other extreme of no required
