For some of us at Guilford
College, Jerry Godard is a new
face and for others an old one.
Jerry has returned at Guilford
as a professor of Humanistic
Studies. He has spent the past
two years at Warren Wilson
College serving as executive
dean of the school.
Previously Jerry was dean
at Guilford from 1966 until
1973 when his work was
essentially administrative with
the exception of teaching two
years of Being Human. The
main reason for Jerry's
change in jobs is that he likes
to teach. He feels that he can
learn as much as the students
can.
Jerry feels that in the past
two years, Guilford has
changed. He feels that the
students and curriculum are
different. He contends that a
school must be constantly
changing or "evolving" be
cause of the
people.

Jerry feels that Being
Human is a good learning
experience. He does agree that
the course may need to be
revitalized in some way,
possibly by making it more
specified in a particular area
of study. He says that a good
part of the reason for the
negative feeling toward the
course deals with the dislike
for any required course.
Along with the v 'diversity'at

year to distribute as athletic
scholarships for women. Kitty
Steele, director of women's
athletics here, has expressed
her pleasure at the innovation,
but does not welcome the
recruitment "headaches" she
has too often observed in
men's athletics.
The money is a result of the
recent adoption by H.E.W. of
the 'Title IX' ruling which
mandates equal athletic op
portunity for college men and
women. The grant is to be
divided among all three
varsity women's teams (vol
leyball, basketball and ten
nis). Kitty Steele sees this as
"just a start" and is fairly
certain more money will be
allocated for next year.
Presently, three women are
benefitting from the grant and
The main thing that attracts
Jerry to Guilford is the

to have this^diversity*in the
faculty and the student body.
One thing which Jerry sees as
being an important part of the
school and its w diversity*is the
Urban Center. He believes
that this type of set up is
"healthy for a liberal arts
college". From the outside
looking in, the Guilford
curriculum looks to be a very
general and not so "diverse"!*
Jerry feels that Guilford is full
of dynamic teachers and
learners which alter this view.
several others are under
consideration. The scholarships
have, of course, been only
partial. Two of them are
basically financial aid for
returning students.
No active recruiting for
women athletes was conduct
ed for this year, primarily
because of the lateness of the
grant. However, Kitty Steele
wants to avoid recruitment as
much as possible in the future,
too. She rejects the idea of
students "being paid" to
come to a school and play on a
team. She hopes the money
can continue to be used to help
women athletes who otherwise
could not come or return to
Guilford for financial reasons.

musical show "Praise"!
written and directed by our
own Dean Regenos. The play
is based on the Quakers in
England who were declared as
heretics and banished from
the English society because
they refused to swear to men
and refused to serve in the
British military forces. The
play is centered around a
Quaker family whose father
died in the prison to which he
had been sent. The mother
takes her daughters and leads
them and other Quakers
across the Atlantic to
America to seek religious
freedom.
The play is emotionally
moving in parts, and hilarious
in others. The squabbling
among the five daughters
provides a good amount of fun
for the audience. The play
gives a good overview of the
Quaker plight in the 18th
century; the distress of the
Quakers can be felt.
The music was composed by
Dean Regenos, and scored
and arranged by Kim Sullivan
and Anne Lester, with vocal
direction by Marilyn Burris
(wife of faculty member
William Burris) who plays the
mother in "Praise!". The five
daughters are portrayed by
Lisa Baker, Kim Chinn, Rose
Anne Pipkin, Gina Rumfelt
and Ruth Shaw. John Osgood,
