Members of Student Press To Testify
The National Student
Lobby (NSL) has arranged for
student journalists to testify
before the U.S. Senate on
legislation to prevent the
government from forcing
newspersons to reveal con
fidential information or the
sources of such information.
Various Senators and
Congressmen have in
troduced legislation following
the U S Supreme Court's 5 to
4 decision June 29. 1972
that the First Amendment,
which guarantees freedom of
the press, does not entitle
newspersons to conceal their
sources of information from
grand juries
At least four persons
who refused to disclose their
sources hvive been jailed as a
result ii last year's decision.

In 1966, the University
of Oregon's Daily Emerald
Editor Annette Buchanan
became the first modern
American journalist arrested
for not revealing the source of
a story.
Library Displays
Poems, Fabrics
by Linda S. Swofford
"Poems and Fibres", a cele
bration of natural life in the
form of "word pictures" and
woven art from the Appala
chian mountains region, will
be on display in the Guilford
College Library Friday (March
23) through Sunday, April 18.
The Appalachian environ
ment, from snow storms to
spring meadows, is the basis
for the showing which was
created by two Appalachian
State University professors.
Dr. Donald Frantz, English
professor and poet, and Dr.
Lorraine Force, art professor
and weaver, combined their
interests to create an exhibi
tion that "uses work pictures
and fabrics which help reveal
the personality of life in the
mountains," they said.
*We believe survival in
these mountains means look
ing at nature from some point
of view common to all life
rather than man's own special
desires."
Dr. Force has taught in
Appalachian's art department
since 1965. She has had exhi
bitions in museums all over
the Eastern United States and
specializes in the creation of
fibres and sculptures.
Dr. Frantz, who has been a
member of the Appalachian
faculty since 1970, also serves
as director of Watauga College,
a new experiment at Appala
chian in which 120 freshmen

The coffeehouse begins
counting down the final five
weeks (my apologies to the

with a performance by Mike
Frost, Jim Johnson, and Carl
Wright this Saturday nite at
9:00 p.m. Folk oriented, all
three play acoustic guitar and
vocalize. Mike, Jim, and Carl
have been playing together
since the first semester of their
freshman year, and a consider
able number of folks here at
Guilford have heard their
playing since that time. Intact,
they played opening niqht of
the coffeehouse last semester.
Sen. Alan Cranston (D-
Calif.) and Cong. Alphonzo
Bell (R-Calif) have introduced
broad legislation to prevent
such arrests in the future. The
Cranston-Waldie bill was in
troduced at the request of the
American Newspaper
Publisher's Association and
endorsed by Sigma Delta Chi,
professional journalism socie
ty Cranston-Waldie offers un
qualified protection from both
state and federal
governments. Cong. Alphonzo
Bell has introduced a similar
bill. Cong. Ed Mezvinski ID-

cumbent with student votes
last fall, believes unqualified
bills such as these, which he
supports, can not pass unless
students and others put
strong pressure on Congress.

GUILFORDIAN
Sen. Walter Mondale
(D-Minn.) and Cong. Charles
Whalen (R - Ohio) have in
troduced more qualified bills
which prevent forced dis
closure to Federal authorities
except in libel cases or when
a court believes the un
disclosed information is (1)
relevant to a specific crime,
(2) unobtainable by other
means, and (3) of compelling
and overriding national in
terest. The bill's authors in
tend for all three cir
cumstances to be met rarely.
Sen. Lowell Weicker (R-
Conn.) has offered a bill
similar to the Mondale-
Whalen except that it would
also force disclosure in a
number of specific major
criminal cases even if the
information was not judged to
be of overriding national in
terest.
Sen. Hatfield stated the
vague "overriding national in
terest" provision makes the
integrity of these bills fluc
tuate with the feelings of
individual judges. "I doubt
very much that it was in the
controlled in these poetic
forms," Franz said.
The showing is a product
of work done during a 1971-
72 Health, Education, and
Welfare sponsored program at
Appalachian State University.

Nikon Course Begins Today
The Nikon School of Pho
tography, a comprehensive
course in picture taking, will
be in Greensboro on March
23-26, at the Holiday Inn,
South, on US 220 S. at 1-40
and 85.
The Nikon School is con
ducted by two trained instruc
tors, each an expert in the
material he presents and with
a background of technical and
professional photographic ex
perience. The emphasis is on
picture taking rather than e
quipment. More than 20,000
students in nearly 100 cities
attended the Nikon School
during the 1971-72 school
year.
Each Nikon School session
consists of 11 hours of even
ing and weekend instruction
and covers such subjects as
general camera handling, me
tering techniques, use of fil
ters, lens selection, proper use
of flash photography, compo
sition, portraiture, remote
control photography, close-up
and macrophotography, slide
duplicating and understanding
film and darkroom technique.
The class will be held in
two parts. The first session be
gins at 7:30 p.m., with a three
hour evening class on Friday,
March 23, and concludes with
an eight hour day session be
ginning at 10:00 A.M., on
Sunday, March 26. Cost for
the course, Sunday lunch, and
an information packet is
$20.00.
Classes effectively combine
live and taped instruction. All
visual material is new and in
cludes photographs shot in

Debris Fouls Ocean
Scientists aboard three Na
tional Oceanic and Atmosphe
ric Administration ships have
reported finding vast areas of
the Atlantic Ocean choked
with floating oil, tar, and plas
tics.
The scientists were "very
much surprised at the extent
of the contamination" during
their tests last summer. A Na
tional Marine Fisheries Service
official reported that while
the sources of the debris had
not yet been established, they
appeared to have stemmed in
part from chemical factories
and oil tankers.
NOAA calculated that at
least 665,000 square miles of
the Atlantic, the Sargasso Sea,
and the Gulf of Mexico were
covered by the chemicals,
sometimes in heavy concen
trations of fist-size globs. One
scientist reported the accumu
lation of plastics of at least a
