Oinkers Upset
Budgets For Next Year
Discussed At Town Meeting
About one hundred stu
dents met Tuesday night in
the cafeteria for a "Town
Meeting" to discuss alloca
tions by the Finance Commit
tee of Student Senate for next
year's student activities. The
meeting began on a high
moral tone, with Gayle
Henderson of the Women's
Coalition declining to accept
the extra five hundred dollars
that the tentative budget
granted them. It soon became
clear that such altruism was to
be the exception, however, as
representatives from campus
organizations oinked around
in pursuit of every stray
activity-fee penny.
An unusual tactic was tried
by representatives from Stu
dents for a Sane Society who
lobbied for their organization
by passing around mimeo
graphed sheets asking, "Is
Guilford really giving you an
education?" which stressed
the need "to fill the vacume
(sic) of World education." The
fact that the sheet contained
m.a
financial Keview Hoard takes active interest in exciting town Meeting proceedings.
no fewer than eleven spelling
and grammar errors led one
student to comment that there
also seemed to be a need "to
fill the vacuum in English
education."
Representatives from each
organization presented a short
talk defending their budgets.
Some were real tear jerkers as
the representatives tried to
persuade the Senators their
organization surpassed all
others in Worthiness. Some
particularly poignant mo
ments:
Pam Walker, of the
cheerleaders, described how
the cheerleaders had to pay all
rtheir expenses from their own
pockets in past years.
-Eloise Grey, of BASIB,
said that BASIB was just as
valuable to the non-blacks on
campus as to the blacks.
-Kris Rice, editor of the
Guilfordian said that unless
the Guilfordian was properly
funded next year "you're not
going to be able to find an
editor, and you're not going to
find a staff."
--WQFS defending their
grants for seven people saying
that they had figured out that
the salaries amounted to about
8 cents an hour. (A
mathematically-inclined list
ener figured out that for this
figure to be valid it would
mean that each of the seven
had worked over forty hours a
week, fifty-two weeks a year).
Some not so poignant
moments:
-Arturo Perez-Rayes saying
that he didn't feel that BASIB
really spoke to the needs of
black people, whereas Stu
dents for a Sane Society could.
Nobody asked him how many
blacks were members of
Students for a Sane Society.
-Bob Forman asking Bio
phile if maybe they could use
an improved recycling pro
gram in place of their
publication which Senate
decided was unnecessary.
Virtue is its own reward, after
all.
-WQFS stating that they
need 600 dollars for phone
bills including such unusual
items as "collect calls from
record companies."
A few organizations were
happy with the amount
granted them. Daniel Rumfelt
of the Piper had asked for one
thousand dollars, but confess
ed about the seven hundred
and fifty dollars he was
tentatively awarded: "I'm
pretty pleased with it, it's
more than I've ever gotten."
The Crafts Center, as usual,
made a modest request of five
hundred dollars which, as
usual, was granted in full.
And of course, the Women's
Coalition could.i't have been
happier about getting every
thing they asked for and more,
and spoke of using the money
for "educational things" and
for better women's health care
on campus. But the majority of
other organizations girded
their loins for two more days
of lobbying, persuading, and
arguing before the final vote
in Senate Thursday night.

Guitarist Kottke To Perforin Saturday
by John Beede
This weekend, one of the
finest six and twelve string
guitar players in the country
will be at Guilford. Saturday
night in Dana Auditdrium, Leo
Kottke will be appearing as
the finale to this year's concert
series.
Kottke was born in 1945 in
Athens, Georgia and started
playing the guitar at age
eleven. His first few profes
sional years were dotted with
performances in such places
as East St. Louis in 1962 and
the Warrenton County Music
Festival (Virginia) in 1965.
Kottke broke into the
recording scene in 1969 when
he made his first album with
Oblivion Records. That was an
appropriate name since no one
has ever seen his first press.
Since then Kottke has steadily
grown in appeal all over the
country. John Fahey, picked
Women's Athletics To Be
In what ways can and
should Guilford College offer
educational opportunities to
its students and the commu
nity which can counteract the
cultural bias against women's
athletic development and
achievement? How can—or
should we - bring our policies
and practices in athletics in
line with the growing concern
to insure, equality of opportu
nity?
These questions will be the
basis of a discussion sponsor
ed by the Women's Center
next Monday night at 7:30 in
the gymnasium. The entire
community is invited to
participate.
The urgency of these issues
is already apparent on many
campuses where suits and
complaints have been based
on the provisions of Title
guidelines for equal opportu
nities in federally funded
insitutions. Whether or not
Kottke up on his own label
(Takoma) and recorded some
of Leo's instrumental virtuo
sity. After its release, Kottke
went to Capitol Hecords,
where his first release.
Mudlark, sold over 100,000
copies. With this album and
the attention his others have
received since then, Kottke
seems to be heading for
stardom.
Many people feel his
success is due to his range of
music, dazzling speed and
masterful control over his
guitar. His repertoire ranges
from a beautiful arrangement
of "Jesu, Joy to Man's
Desiring" to a real funky tune,
"Monkey Lust". He also
dabbles in blues, bluegrass,
and lyrical ballads, as is seen
in "The Fisherman", and
uses a bottleneck extensively
to achieve velocity and
interesting sound productions.
In every song he maintains the
kind of power that you would
swear could only come from
three of four guitars.
But what of -Kottke, the
person? Well, he enjoys his
anonymity. It's strange some
one of his talent hasn't gone
up in price dramatically or
become a superstar plagued
by teenie-boppers. But Leo
isn't after the worldly gains,
he's devoted to the logic of the
guitar - his precision and
devotion have earned him the
title of virtuoso. Says Tom
Murtha of The Minneapolis
Star:
this civil rights legislation
applies to Guilford's athletic
'program is not clear; what is
clear is the growing commit
ment among many administra
tors, faculty, and students to
examine and to help remedy

Leo Koike
''Kottke's fingers somehow
always touch the implicit logic
of the guitar fingerboard. His
unpredictable melodies ex
tract a truth from the
instrument every guitarist has
always known is there but has
never been able to state
himself. The notes stay within
the mind, then return to the
listener when he least expects
them, perhaps because they
were in everyone's mind
before Kottke ever got the
inspiration to write them
down. That is why so many
listeners who hear Kottke's
music for the first time have a
feeling they have come to the
end of a long search.''
Leo Kottke will be perform
ing in Dana, Saturday April 6,
at 8:15 pm. Come and
experience him.
Reserve tickets are now on
sale from 2:30 - 4:30 pm in

Discussed
discriminatory practices on
campus
The first step is the
identification of such prac
tices, and the meeting
Monday night is intended to
address among others, these
questions specifically. (I) Is
the current allocation of
between SI,OOO and $2,000 to
women's inter-collegiate ath
letics discriminatory? (2) Is
the awarding of 32 athletic
scholarships to all male teams,
and the absence of any athletic
scholarships for similarly
talented women discrimina
tory? (3) Is our policy of
sex-separated teams inhe
rently unfair, or is there a way
to continue single-sex teams
without minimizing the op
portunity for women to
represent the college in
athletic events with the full
support of the Athletic
Department and the institu
tion as a whole?
