THURSDAY
Thursday night can be
called the calm before the storm.
For those of you who haven't
had enough peace and quiet,
Thursday is a good time for it.
"hursday does, however, have
three films scheduled, starting
at 8:00 in Dana. Each film
portrays the works and life of
a famous poet, E.E. Cummings

and Yeugeny Yeutushenko in

The excitement increases
in tempo at 3:00 Friday as our
soccer team takes on N.C. Wes
leyan on home territory. At
7:30 that night, Alfred Hitch
cock's thriller, "30 Steps" will
be shown in Dana. But don't
relax too soon because there's
a lot more. At 9:30, directly
after the movie, there will be a
sock hop in the union lounge
which will continue until the
clock tolls 11:00. At that time,
the flames of a roaring fire will
dance in image on our own lake.
Tired of all the excitement?
What else could be more sti
mulating than a warm bonfire
on a cold crisp niqht? With that
note, Friday burns out, and the
first day of Homecoming Week
end is over.
SATURDAY
Saturday is the day
which is the culmination of
months of hard work and is the
most exciting of the entire cele
bration. Besides the extra good
ies and surprises, the real excite
ment begins at 1:00 P.M. with
a parade that consists of several
bands, many horses, past Home
coming Queens, beautiful hos
tesses, lines of cars, and many,
many people. (Balloons?) The
best vantage point will be along

1:30 so be along Friendly at that
time. At 2:00, the Quakers will
kick off to Catawba on the
college field. The parade and
football game are typical of the
weekend; a combination of tra
dition and festive celebrating.
There's something for everyone.
SATURDAY EVENING
From 8:00 until 11:00
that evening, four different acts
will bring you music straight
from the fifties and early and
mid '6o's as a part of the 'so's
Revue Homecoming Weekend.
The famous Tommy James will
play some of the greatest hits of
the '6o's such as "Crystal Blue
Pursuasion."
Tommy's career has also
been marked by a sensational
fourty-eight albums. Others on
the bill are the Shondells who,
as everyone remembers, also ap
peared during the '6o's. The
'so's are brought into clear focus
as the Crystals and Gary U.S.
Bond play the nostalgic fads of
the '7o's. The Crystals are best
known for "He's a Rebel", while
Gary is known for "Quarter to
Three". That nostalgic fascina
tion for the 'so's that's present
ly sweeping the nation is
brought right here to Guilford
with the '6o's kicked in extra.
Remember, you I liberated wo
man, buy your Bobby socks
today, and you, you Chauvin

Friends Escalate
Naval Blockade
CHARLESTON, s.C. (GPC)
On Tuesday, October 17, Caro
lina Quakers led by Chip Cole
of the American Friends Service
Committee symbolicly blockad
ed the Charleston Naval Base
with three canoes and a kayak.
Seven men and two women part
icipated. The U.S.S. Bordelon
was able to proceed to Viet
nam with its load of sailors and
munitions after the United
States Coast Guard arrested the
blockaders. Although immediate
ly jailed, they have since been
released and have not yet been
charged.
The group did not make
any specific announcement con
cerning its future plans but obli
quely mentioned the fact that
there would be two more muni
tions shipments leaving the
Charleston facilities during the
month of November.
The blockade action was
supported by several days of
leafletting and a vigil. Between
40 - 50 people participated in
the combined actions. They
were broadly representative of
many Carolina cities.

Security Turned Over to Students
By Randy Catoe
The termination of Guil
ford College's contract with the
William J. Burns Detective
Agency was announced last Fri
day by Assistant Business Man
ager Jim Newlin. The Burns
Agency, whose services have
comprised the campus security
force for the past five years,
will be replaced officially on
Dec. 21 by a campus-based,
student-staffed force, which will
be directed by Guilford graduate
Bob White.
A SENSE OF COMMUNITY
The new agency is the
fruition of planning which began
last year. Administration offi
cials stated at that time that
they hoped to use student
guards to engender a sense of
community on campus. Andy
Gotschall, Guilford Dean of
Students, previewing the pro
gram in August of this year,
compared it to the school's pre
sent policy of using students as
coordinators in resident halls.
Other benefits are expected
from the change. Jim Newlin
further noted that the switch
would probably allow the col
lege to provide more campus
security coverage because the
campus force would be less ex
pensive than the services of the
Burns Agency.
PROGRAM HEAD
In addition to his dut
ies as director of the security
force. Bob White is presently
teaching courses in sociology
at Guilford. White recalls that it
was during his undergraduate
career at Guilford that he ini
tially became interested in law
enforcement. Under a special
program in which he participat
ed while at Guilford, White was
permitted to ride in the patrol
cars of the Winston-Salem Police
Department. The experience.
White remembers, proved fas
cinating in that it offered him
the opportunity to view police
work from a unique perspective.
After his graduation
from Guilford, White completed
graduate work at Wake Forest
University in the field of human

relations and law enforcement.
His thesis dealt with the human
relations training of the Win
ston-Salem Police Department.
\s a result of his studies and
field experience. White's view
of the position of police officers
is geared towards the commun
ity. "A law enforcement office
must be viewed more as a social
worker who performs services
for the community than as mere
ly an enforcer of the laws."
WILL PROVE SUCCESSFUL
White emphasized that,
although the student security
forces, at this point, experi
mental, they are good reasons
to believe that it will prove suc
cessful. "A small campus like
Guilford's has potential to be
the kind of community in which
this sort of program could work.
If it is to succeed however, it
must have the support of the
student body."
"There is also the factor
of peer-group influence, which
should work for us". White add
ed, "We will have seven men
working as guards, all of whom,
I feel are conscientious and
aware of the responsibility they
have in this position."
Although the guards of
the new service, like those now
employed by Burns, will carry
no firearms, White plans to
upgrade the system in ways that
will provide far greater personal
protection of students. On-cam
pus lighting will be increased in
order to provide the student
with well-lit pathways to the
dorms. In addition. White hopes
that two guards, rather than one,
will patrol the campus after
dark. However, financial diffi
culties may prohibit the impli
mentation of these changes in
the near future.
White encourages stu
dents who wish to see him about
problems connected with secur
ity to visit him in his office,
room 125, King Hall.
