Last year's FAC chairman Esther Hall will serve as chairman for 1972. The FAC board consists of 12 people who will assist in the planning and organization of the summer, fall, and continuing orientation programs for 1972. Members of the new board are: Harlan Strader, Barb Leland, Bill Fleming, Lee Hogan, purpose of the student-organized project is to raise funds for, and promote the issue of international development "the new word for peace."

Donna Muth, Cheryl Butler, Yolande Long, Tricia Gamble, Amy Wallach, Leslie Lightbourne, Janet Boyles, and David Green.

Other students will be called upon and given responsibilities involving leading discussion groups in the summer orientation, collect materials and information, serving as hosts, leading groups for faculty home visits, and serving as Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Acute Naso pharyngitis? Of all the myriad number of visitors to Guilford College each year, a large percentage are colds, sore throats, and sports injuries. This year, there were two measles visiting here. The persons visited were sent home. Just before semester break there were some flus hanging around.. Fortunately, break, discouraged much flu visitation. According to Mrs. Hester, head nurse at the .infirmary where the guest book is kept, quite a few flu shots were given. During exams, most of the problem guests were due to stress, strain, and anxiety. At present, there is an acute naso-p haryngitis with mucopuralent post pharyngeal discharge. As for venereal diseases, according to Mrs. Hester, the problem is greater than one might think. The infirmary unfortunately can not keep accurate records because most students who think they have either syphilis or gonorrhea go of their own accord to the public health center or a private doctor. V.D. is not treated at the infirmary; students are referred to the public health clinic or H private doctor.

The remainder of the money is sent abroad, to aid in the support of: Health and nutritional centers, school construction, literacy training, local credit unions, and the like. The over 300 national YWD groups, in addition to raising funds for, and promoting public awareness of, the pressing international problems of hunger, poverty and social injustice, also are actively involved in local community development issues. YWD people have, for example, aided in wider distribution of information on food stamp and federal lunch programs, worked for crucial cross-discipline curriculum reforms in high schools and colleges, helped in voter registration drives, and created and taught developmental education programs in their local communities. Interested persons should contact Nancy Thomas, Gilbert Mbeo or Moulton Avery through the International Relations Club office in Founders. Religion Seminar Another off-campus seminar lias been scheduled for New York City. This seminar is being held in conjunction with John Stoneburner's class iri contemporary and alternative religious lifestyles. The group will be in New York City from February 12 until February 19.

Three visits to Emmaus House are included in the itinerary, and the Cooper Square urban renewal project will also be visited. Two drug rehabilitation programs, Exodus and Odyssey House, will be considered in terms of work done in a community spirit.
