VOLJJIW- ) The Selling Of The by Lucy Swan and Yolande Long The downtown campus building of Guilford College located on W. Washington Avenue, is in the final pro cess of being sold to the Greensboro Technical Insti tute. The purpose of the downtown division in the past has been to educate the adult community on a part-time basis. The location of the building itself was to be ac cessible to students. But now, with greater mobility, accessi bility is no longer a problem. Hence, a decision was reached to utilize the more sophisti cated facilities such as class rooms and laboratory space found on the main campus. Reasons for selling the downtown building also in clude economic aspects such as saving money on commut ing costs for the professors who teach downto *vn, and a Pound Returns! The truck from the dog pound was on campus Monday in re sponse to a call from the head of campus security. Bob White, ac cording to Dean Andy Gottschall. The call was made when the pre sence of a dog known to live off campus was noticed. No animals were picked up, however.

Singers Tfy Qulffo r&on THURSDAY FEBRUARY 8, 1973 Downtown Campus financial gain for Guilford due to the sale of it. In addi tion, G.T. I. needs the space to further their program. The downtown division will be located in the current Student Union Building. There will be a year of trans itional difficulties, but with the plan for the new student union in Founders, there should be no reason for con cern over lack of space. The downtown campus program itself is changing from a technical or business program to one that is more academically oriented, be cause public institutions can now offer business courses more cheaply. But initially, the spirit of the campus will remain autonomous. They will continue to print their paper The Urban Word and have a separate student gov ernment and student activit ies. A committee has been formed to handle the parti culars involved in the move. The members are Jerry God ard, representing students and administrators, Jim Newlin for the business angle, Ed Caudill for the downtown campus, and Cyrill Harvey for the faculty. These men will attempt to represent the dif- will present two prepared short numbers. No prepara tion is necessary for dancers, but they should be dressed in appropriate work clothes. In terested directors will request further interviews. Information and registra tion forms may be obtained from the Institute of Out door Drama, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, N.C.27514. Czech Orchestra During its first appear ance in the United States, the Czech State Orchestra will perform at the Greensboro Coliseum at 8 p.m. on Tues day, Feb. 20, with Jiri Wald hans as music director and chief conductor, and Vaclav Hudecek as violin soloist. The 100 piece orchestra has long delighted audiences in Eu rope, and now comes to intri gue America. The renowned group's most recent big ap pearance was on January 31st at Carnegie Hall in New York City. There will be no admis sion charge for Guilford Col lege students and Arts Series members; all others will be $2.00. Transportation from the campus to the Coliseum will be provided. ferent aspects of the two cam puses. There are four obvious problems to be considered by both campuses. First is the tuition difference. The down town campus student pays approximately ten dollars less per credit hour than does the main campus student. Second Policemen who will attend classes, because of time limi tations, often come to class in uniform with their guns. Both the students and the po licemen have expressed ap prehension at the situation. Third, an additional parking lot will probably be construct ed, and traffic on campus will be increased. Fourth, the Bookstore will have to find another loca tion. None of these points seems to be insurmountable as long as concerned mem bers from both campuses work together to meet the challenge of such a transition.
