Quaker
Couple
Visits
GREENSBORO - Two of
America's well known Quakers,
Robert and Esther Greenleaf of
Peterborough, N.H., are Guilford
College's 1972 Distinguished
Campus Visitors.
The couple arrived in
Greensboro yesterday (March
14) for a two-week visit,
according to Dr. Hobbs. They
will hold informal visits with
students and faculty and will be
available for organized
discussions and some
participation in classes.
Both the Greenleafs have
expressed an interest in speaking
to clubs and civic organizations,
Dr. Hobbs said, pointing out
that Greenlead's specialty is
financial management and that
Mrs. Greenleaf is an
accomplished artist specializing
in contemporary art and clay
sculpture.
The Greenleafs' visit to
Guilford College is made
possible by a $l,OOO gift from
Charles S. Coble, a 1929
graduate of Guilford who now
lives in Tallahassee, Florida.

Telegraph Co. from 1929 until

Low Attendance at Forum
Cyrus Johnson suggested that
perhaps it would be worthwhile
to develop a parallel advising
system using students as
advisors.
It was generally accepted by
those attending that students
already get feedback from other
students, but that perhaps a
more formal approach would be
worthwhile.
The advising of freshmen was
to be one of the main concerns
of the group. It was suggested
that perhaps a group of faculty
members should be selected to
advise only freshmen. Then after
the freshman year, if the student
declares a major, he would be
advised by a faculty member in
his major department.
Jim Guttsell, chairman of the
English Department suggested
that departments should publish
course descriptions including,
the type of testing, reading list,
format and general intent of the
course. The English department
published such descriptions this
year and advisors found them
helpful in assisting students in
their selection of courses.
Vicky Curby said that many
advisors had expressed the need
for more information and that
perhaps such course descriptions
would fill this need.

He has made five trips to

GUILFORDIAN reporter,
attended an open forum on the
advising system Wednesday.
Associate Dean Vicky Curby
presided over the discussion,
which was held as a follow-up to
a survey of attitudes toward the
advising system conducted last
semester. She commented that
the small attendance at the
forum "may be indicative of
attitudes toward the program."
A lively discussion of various
aspects of the advising system
occurred, even though the
attendance was small.
Bruce Stewart, Director of
the Freshman Fellows Program,
expressed the belief that the
advising of freshmen is the most
important facet of the student
advising program. "In their first
year," Stewart explained, "the
student has little information to
go on. The primary
responsibility of the advisor of a
freshman is an attempt to
coordinate the students
interests, abilities and
personality with their courses
and professors.
"Freshmen," he continued,
"should not be particularly
concerned with their major. I
tell my advisees that their major
will find them as much as they
will find their major. They really
shouldn't worry about it that
soon."

"At the end of their freshman
year," Stewart continued "most
students not only don't want,
but really resist structure from
their advisor. After the freshman
year, the advisor's role becomes
a more technical one."
Stewart declared that this
kind of advising, including
quarterly mass meetings of all of
his advisees is perhaps the most
important contribution of the
Fellows Program to the Guilford
community.

To Bring Bumps
The Administrative Council
Tuesday upheld its previous
decision to install 9 speed bumps
on the campus over spring break
rejecting Student Affairs
Committee recommendation
that additional security forces be
instituted to deal with speeding
cars on campus.
The Council also approved a
new set of regulations on
speeding and careless driving,
instituting a $25 fine for both
offenses, a maximum $5O fine
for each incident of speeding
and careless driving. Repeating
offenders of this new regulation
will be subject to the same fine,
plus an automatic revocation of
campus automobile privileges.
Appeals will be to the SAC.
The council gave several
reasons for the approval of speed
bumps. In rejecting the SAC
recommendation, the council
cited the prohibitive cost of
hiring traffic control personnel,
and noted that only sworn
officers can stop cars on a public
road. The roads through the
college are public.
Stipulated in the decision was
a provision that the bumps be
built with clearance on each side
for bicycles to pass through. The
speed bumps are also to be
painted and marked clearly with
signs.
Meeting last Friday, the SAC
had requested that action be
delayed on installation of the

Democratic Presidential
candidate Rep. Shirley
Chisholm, of Brooklyn, New
York, will be in Greensboro on
Monday on the opening swing of
her North Carolina primary
campaign.
Rep. Chisholm will arrive in
Greensboro at 5 p.m. for a press
conference at the Holiday Inn
North, and will then proceed in
a motorcade to Bennett College
where a rally and speech will be
presented at 5:30 p.m. Mrs.
Chisholm, coming from Raleigh,
will leave for Charlotte after her
appearance at Bennett.
Chisholm's state campaign
coordinator, Virginia Newell,
will be at Guilford this
afternoon to meet with Guilford
College Students for Chisholm.
She will be in the Founder's

bumps. The SAC also pointed
out that THE PATHFINDER
parking regulations have changed
since the last printing of the
manual. It is now a policy that
upon receipt of five tickets for
traffic violations college vehicle
registration for the violator will
be automatically revoked.
The Administrative Council
also approved an SAC
recommendation that pulling
fire alarms be made an
automatic penalty violation of
denial of campus housing. The
penalty was set at two semesters
of housing denial.
Six of the speed bumps will
be located on the main road
through campus, two will be on
the road between 1968 dorm
and Frazier apartments, and one
will be at the entrance to the
Milner Parking lot. There will be
bumps behind English, at the
Gym entrance, between the
cafeteria and Milner, between
Shore and 1968, between
Binford and Frazier apartments,
and at the Binford parking lot.
Also cited by administrative
council was the effect the bumps
would have on outside traffic,
persons just driving through the
campus. With the expected
widening of the road, an increase
in through campus traffic is
expected, and installation of
speed bumps will help keep this
orderly, according to the
council.
Mrs. Chisholm has gained
widespread recognition in her
campaign, emphasizing her
differences from the other
white, male candidates. Elected
to Congress in 1968, she has
fought the seniority system of
that body. "Our troubled,
embattled, urban society," she
says, "looking to Washington for
wisdom and help, finds that the
processes of change are thwarted
by the control of old men whose
values are those of a small-town
lawyer or a feed-store operator."
The maverick congresswoman
has also spoken out opposing the
continuation of the Vietnam
War, co-sponsored minimum
income legislation, co-sponsored
the Equal Rights for Women
amendment, and opposed
No-Knock and preventive
detention laws.
