Crowded Cafeteria Causes Confusion
The College cafeteria is a place where students gather not
only to eat and drink, but to talk to friends, socialize, and
generally relax. Yet when the cafeteria is crowded, as has
happened more than once in the past few weeks, both the food
and the atmosphere suffer. Campus students are dependent on
the cafeteria for their meals, especially on week-ends, and
being in competition with large numbers of non-students for
food and a place to sit is unfair. If the administration and
cafeteria management could arrange it so that students and
groups of guests of the College could eat at separate times,
students would not feel pushed to hurry through a meal in order
to allow others to have a place to sit, and the cafeteria could
better estimate the amount of food to prepare.

Epidemic
Rampant
Dear Editor,
This letter is addressed to
you, however it concerns i alt
students at Guilford. There is
a disease on campus that
apparently has affected most
of the people here. However,
this disease can be cured. The
disease in question is called
"apathy". It is a very harmful
disease that affects everyone
and the effects are disastrous.
This letter is written with
disgust. Written with disgust
towards Guilford students for
they are the cause of this
apathy. For some reason the
students here can't seem to
support their own school. At
first, 1 thought perhaps the
cause was the fall weather,
but now that the spring
weather is here, they haven't
shown any more enthusiasm.
In fact, enthusiasm is nearly
non-existent.
Ted Gctsinger and Geoff
Wilkcrson ran completely
unopposed for the Student
Union chairmanship. This is
appaling. Some students have
actually asked me what the
Student Union is.
At all of the concerts run
this year, very few studens
have shown up for the
performances. Bryan Hall has
had virtually no House Council
for the better part of this
semester. Few people were
willing to come to tonight's
concert by the New Deal
String Band. The list can go
on, but it is beside the point.
Letters to the editor
1 have been totally bummed
by the performances of the
students this year. It is my
sincere hope that these people
- my fellow students - will do
their best to try and get
together and support totally
this year's SERENDIPITY. I
sincerely feel that this is the
school's last chance to get it
together.
With little respect,
Timothy Nolan

celebrate; it's Spring! from

This letter is to Thomas
Hawkins as well as any other
persons who might have
walked out of the film The
Lavender Hill Mob. To begin
with, the film committee
apologizes for the technical
difficulties that we had that
night as well as the many
faux-pas in the past.
We understand how frust
rating it is to be subjected to
that kind of amateur project
ion. and believe me, it's
embarrassing to have to watch
it happen. This kind of
problem has cost the Film
series much in terms of
attendance and general sup
port. If it's any consolation we
have replaced the Friday night
projectionist and ask that you
not give up on us yet.
There is one thing that I feel
1 can legitimately say: We
have purposely kept the
series' duties in the hands of
students. It is important, in

my eyes, for as much
responsibility as possible to be
placed on those who benefit
from the series:
the students themselves.
Union activities are learning
experiences for those who are
involved in their production,
and this experience is in many
ways far better preparation
for our future vocations than
many of the so called
"learning experiences" we
are engaged in through
classes. It is one I am hesitant
to relinquish. One more thing
that 1 consider a mistake often
made; it is bourgeois to think
that money is a remedy for any
problem that arises. Technical
proficiency is a skill that must
be acquired through practice.
If we hired an outside
projectionist to do our work we
never would learn this skill -
and this is a learning
institution. By the way, if
there are any among the
reading audience who are film
projectionists or would like to
be, there is an opening for this
month, the 13th, 14th, 15th,
and the 16th as well as all of
next year, so please contact
me at the Union office. Again,
I'm not wanting to excuse our
sloppy work, we promise to try
all the harder in the future to
redeem ourselves. We really
do appreciate audience re
sponse; your input is
important to the entire Arts
series program. After all, it is
for the students that we offer
these events. Stay with us
folks. for the Film series,

FCA Hosts
Little Boys
By Jim Beck
The dazzling performance
of basketball star Gary Devlin
demonstrated Saturday, April
27 was just a part of the
festivities that the Fellowship
of Christian Athletes used to
entertain 14 kids that are a
part of Greensboro's Big
Brother program.
Before Devlin's perfor
mance, the boys were taught
different basketball skills and
were given a chance to
compete against each other.
Other Guilford athletes such
as Ray Branch and Reggie
Kenan were on hand to meet
the kids.
After lunch the boys toured
the dorms and gym where
Cliff Hunsucker demonstrated
on the punching bag, Jim
Beck and Chipper Herring
explained about the locker
room, David Hunt worked on
the weight machine, and
Johnny Stewart ended with
the showing of three films.
One of the highlights of the
day came when the kids were
