Chester Named
'7O Fellow
GREENSBORO, N.C. A stu
dent at Guilford College has been
named a winner in the annual
Woodrow Wilson National Fel
lowship competition.
David W. Chester, a history
major at Guilford, was among the
1,153 finalists selected from ap
proximately 12,000 outstanding
graduating seniors nominated for
the honor by more than 800
colleges in the United States and
Canada.
The Wilson Foundation's
selection committee picked the
finalists, or "designates," as
"the most intellectually prom
ising" 1970 graduates planning
careers as college teachers, the
foundation president, Hans
Rosenhaupt, explained._
"Today's disaffected youth
complain that a factory atmos
phere pervades our country's
educational institutions," Dr.
Rosenhaupt said. "The student
teacher encounter lacks the hu
man qualities young men and
women seek.
"The Designate Program is
our response to their plight,"
he explained. "Taking scholar
ly excellence for granted in our
nominees, we look further for
those human qualities that make
good, even great, teachers."
A list of the winners will be
sent to all graduate schools in
both Canada and the U.S. with
Who Fiddled
This Time?
"They burned the hut last night." 
What a beautiful flame 
through Bacchus eyes; £
how funny-comical j
in the sick mind of the vengeful [
(still satisfied when sober?) i
"I really got to know my friends,"
one student said. (
"Surprising spectacle of
cackling girls
flirting with firemen .
and frenzied fellow students
breaking bottles.
"Our victory-wagon
out of control
throttle open wide
veered with unknown speed
to chaos."
Today the academic question
is raised in classrooms;
Whose was the hut?
Whose was it?
Why, it belonged to me, the S.C.A.
a group of sit-around-the-fireplace
planners of good things
and sometimes doers, too.
No, it belonged to me,
a clergyman turned counselor
professing poli-sci,
here holding rendezvous
with students,
And it belonged to me
the language lab
repeater of sounds
stored up, spit out, spit back,
now ricocheting elsewhere
more efficiently.
More recently the arts held sway
or politics and other forms of play;
It was the students'
(not the silent majority's
of course! But it belonged
to each creative crew
who knew a way to make it useful)
and its walls reflected many lights
until this final conflagration
left them black
and mourning.

recommendation that the school
provide winners with graduate
fellowships.
In past years, a majority of
the Wilson Designates secured
grants from their chosen grad
uate schools, Dr. Rosenhaupt
noted, adding that the foundation
reserves 150 Woodrow Wilson
Fellowships for designates who
fail to receive funds from
schools of their choice.
Chester plans to do graduate
study in international relations,
with particular interest in the
United States foreign policy re
garding Latin America.
The 27-year-old veteran of
three years of service with the
82nd Airborne was on the Greens
boro police force one year. In
addition to attending Guilford
College, he also works part
time as a chemical research
assistant for the Charles Pfizer
Co.
Chester came to Greensboro
in 1965 from Kirkwood, N.J.,
and enrolled at Guilford the fol
lowing year. He is married to
the former Penelope Landreth
of Western North Carolina. They
live at 604 Longview St.
Music
Contest
The Guilford College music
department is conducting a con
test to collect both old and new
Guilford College songs for pub
lication, performance and re
cording.
Dr. George L. Gansz, music
department chairman, said the
deadline for receiving original,
adapted or "remembered" songs
is April 30. Entries become the
property of the college and will
not be returned.
All suitable songs will be pub
lished in a collection of Guilford
College songs next year, Dr.
Gansz said, adding that selected
songs will be recorded and per
formed by music groups this year
and in the future.
10 Days After The Hut Fire
THE GUILFORD IAN
Last
Hobbs
Lecture
President Grimsley Hobbs
delivered his "last lecture"Sat
urday afternoon as a part of
Parents' Weekend activities. The
Last Lecture series, sponsored
by the College Union, is a series
of talks by Guilford administra
tors and faculty members in
which they tell their listeners
what they would tell them if it
was their last chance to ad
dress them.
Wisdom, committment and
building rather than destroying
were the three things which he
thought most important for liv
ing a full life.
He stressed that wisdom
isn't knowledge of facts, but
meaningful involvement in using
knowledge. He referred to the
freshman "Man in the Twenti
eth Century" requirement, say
ing that one of its main goals
is to get the students involved
enough in current problems that
they can make decisions about
these problems for themselves.
He stated that true wisdom is
knowledge used for the benefit
of humanity.
Committing oneself to certain
goals in life is essential for
a meaningful existence accord
ing to President Hobbs. He men
tioned the need for personal dis
cipline in one's committments
and challenged the students to
choose a vocation to which they
feel they could devote all of their
time and energy.
The necessity of being a build
er rather than a destroyer was
his final point. He emphasized
that lack of concern for the total
group to which one belongs is
destructive, and that a destruc
tive attitude should be avoided.
The Union is planning to con
tinue the popular Last Lecture
series. Watch for dates and de
tails of those to come.

DR. GRIMSLY T. HOBBS
Feeney Explains
Outburst Thurs.
Dear Editor,
Last Thursday during a dis
cussion period after the Man
In The 20th Century lecture it
would seem to many of the people
who attended that I had grossly
lost my temper. I feel an expla
nation in a sense is necessary.
Many of the comments made
by the Black Panther represen
tatives were unrealistic as far as
my own ideology was concerned.
Instead of an explantion of their
philosophy, I felt as if the black
students were making demands
of which I could not personally
be able to fulfill. During my re
marks I felt that I might have
offended some of the people who
were lecturing; though this may-

be true, I felt that I was also be
ing offended. It is obvious to me
now that at least at this point it
would be difficult for me to adhere
to the revolutionary beliefs of the
students who spoke to us. Though
it may seem that my beliefs are
racist I feel that it is only your
misinterpretation. I was just
telling how I felt, just like the
Panthers were.
I don't have a closed mind,
and in many respects my attitudes
are changing. Though black
people don't like to hear this
I really feel it takes time for
people to understand. I guess I
can understand how black people
can't wait any longer.
