74 Fast For Peace
Last week, 74 Guilford students fasted for 3 days (Monday-
Wednesday) to demonstrate their concern about ending the war
in Vietnam. The cafeteria reimbursed them for meals missed
(at $1.50 a day) and provided fruit juice and vitamins in the
basement of Hobbs. The total amount raised in this manner
was $335, which will be given to the American Friends Service
Committee to help with reconstruction and medical aid in North
and South Vietnam.
On Thursday, a press con
ference was held in the base
ment of Hobbs, attended by
12 fasters, and newspeople
from WGHP-Channel 8, WXII
-channel 12, WFMY - channel
2, and the Greensboro Daily
News and Record. Alex Had
dad read a statement which
he, Lyn Lathrop, and Beth
Johnson had drafted concern
ing the feelings of the fasters
on the war. The statement
read:
"Last Monday 74 stu
dents started a fast in order
to show our concern about
the war in Vietnam. At this
time, the college cafeteria has
reimbursed us $335 for the
meals we've missed. The
group has decided to donate
the money to the North-
South Vietnam Fund for Re
lief and Peace Action of the
American Friends Service
Committee.
Polish Mime Ballet Performs
Described as "modern,
lyrical, vital and frequently
erotic," the Polish Mime
Ballet Theater will perform at
8 p.m. Tuesday. Feb. 6. in
Dana Auditorium at Guilford
College.
Both group and in
dividual reservations may be
made, and tickets will be
available at the door for per
sons who are not members of
the Guilford College Arts
Series, according to Cliff
Lowery, series director.
"Polish" in nationality,
"Mime" in movement,
"Ballet" in training and
"Theater" in impact, the com
pany was developed in 1955
by Henryk Tomaszewski, prior
to that an actor and dancer.
The ballets themselves
cover a vast range of styles
and influences liberally
borrowed from classical
ballet, modern dance,
traditional Eastern and
Western mime and the Olym
pic stadium, but they share in
common a visual emphasis on
physical exertion and muscle
control.
Each and every bulging
sinew is oiled and strained to
the utmost, so that the effect
is an unparalleled display of
eroticism and sensuousness.
The costumes, music and
lighting are all geared to
stress the body, its physical
beauty, and the versatility of
the dancers.
"The visual experience
is the most important to the
Poles." Tomaszewski has
said. "If the audience comes

'We believe and pray that
the war is over and we intend
to act on this belief. Now we
want to help repair some of
the damage that we, in part,
feel responsible for. The
money is only the beginning
of a fund-raising drive in
which we challenge other col
leges to match our donations.
We would also urge civic
groups and all other respon
sible citizens to contribute
to the reconstruction of Viet
nam. Our rejoicing at the end
of the war is not without a
feeling of shame for the suf
fering that still exists, and
we challenge others to con
front their own responsibilit
ies regarding the war.

chairman of the Guilford Col

War, continued their fasts un

with an idea in the back of his
mind, fine, but the initial im
pact must be visual and total.
With the Germans, it's the
other way around all heavy
ideas and no action. That's
not theater, that's sleep!"
From the outset,
Tomaszewski had to rely en
tirely on his own invention
since Poland had no tradition
of mime; indeed, his work
embraces far more than mime
as conventionally interpreted.
By incorporating
elements of dance, gym
nastics and ritual, he creates
his own near-magical
language by means of move
ment, images, light and
sound. Within two years of its
inception, Tomaszewski's

Volunteerl
By Linda Rogers
Kahil Gibran once wrote
that "you work that you may
keep peace with the earth .. .
work is love made visible."
Now Guilford College is
getting together its voluntary
action program and you are
needed. In the past Guilford
students have done much vol
unteer work in the day care
center on New Garden Road,
and in the community of East
White Oak as tutors, recrea
tion and program aids.
This year, for the first
time, Guilford is becoming in
volved with the Community
Services Agency, an organiza
tion which will open up for
students over 1500 kinds of
volunteer jobs. The possibil
ities for interesting involve
ment in Guilford County are
enormous and students are
desperately needed because
they have the inclination, en
thusiasm, knowledge, and re
sources to make good vol
unteer workers.
In the Student Personnel
office, the room on the left
will be the center for volun
teer job information. If you
feel you can give a few hours
per week to help somebody
else, please come in and sign
up. No special training is re
quired. Jerry Harrelson will
be there all day on Mondays
and Wednesdays, and Linda
Rogers will be there from 1-3
p.m. on Tuesdays and Thurs
days. The phone number is
299-8893.
So come and get yourself
in tune with life outside of
Guilford College soon - only
eight weeks are left of this
semester and someone needs
you NOW!
