Thanks to
Robyn and Peter
Peter Riess and Robyn
Brunkhardt have both worked
in varying capacities with the
Alumni Association for the
past year. The staff and the
Alumni Board of Directors
have enjoyed them both.
Peter and Robyn have taken
on any task asked of them and
demonstrated their individual
leadership most especially
through their work with the
Pre-Alumni Council.
We of the Alumni Associa
tion will very much miss their
presence on campus but we
are particularly pleased that
they will soon be official
members of the Alumni
Association and we will
continue to benefit from their
active participation.
I personally will miss them
both very much as close
personal friends.

Alumni Affairs
Dear Guilford College,
In my four years here, 1
have noticed many students,
professors, and administrators
who profess to be so liberal in
their thinking until something
touches their own personal
prejudices. These pseudo
liberals would rather die than
use terms like nigger, polack,
wop, or jap, but they freely
banter about terms such as
redneck and jock. Not unlike
other minorities, 1 had to first
prove my personal value in
order to be accepted instead of
being thought of as just
GUILFORD COLLEGE...
I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER

ok, guilford.
it's been four years
and i stuck it out.
it's time to pack up my three trunks,
five boxes, three suitcases and my
portfolio and
"get the hell out of dodge."
oh no you don't!!
don't try to tempt me with your good looks!
i know all about your
dogwoods in spring and
all that red, yellow, and orange in the fall,
don't brag to me about snow and how beautiful you look
in crystal and white.
Farewell,
"Slick"
To: Kenneth "Slick" Chan
dler,
We'd all like to say that we
wish you good luck in your
future endeavors, and to say
farewell the best way we can.
We'll miss you and we
dedicate this poem by Micky
to you:
If only we were born
Starting out like chicks
Hatched into a world
Knowing all,
Knowing in minutes how to
walk, and
communicate; things that take
so long
For us.
Things that take up time we
Could be using to reach
others.
Time we could be using
To learn about ourselves.
Time we could be using
To love.
If only we were born
Starting out like chicks.
Hatched into a world
Knowing all.
Wishing you all the success
in the world, Micky, Lesia,
Linda, Nicky, Cheryl, Puppy
and especially Glynis
John Ladd and the Union
must be applauded for their
excellent planning and carry
ing out of Serendipity 5!
I've even know you in summer when you become enveloped
in green and shadows,
yeah, yeah i remember your woods and lake... two handsome assets
indeed,
but like i said. ..it's been four years....
do you remember the day we met? it was love at first sight
you were so sunny and green (and i was just green) but impressed!
so much so that i had to stay...so i did.
but now it's time to go -- 1972-1976- that was the plan,
but don't worry... I'll be back;
'cause i've got your number,
guilford college.
Quaker
"Tolerance"?
I came to Guilford with the '
impression that its basic policy 1
would be very similar to the 1
three other Quaker schools I
have attended, that is, that it
would be based on Quaker
principles strongly believed in
by those running the school. I
have found many individuals
here, both Quaker and
non-Quaker, who operate on
these principles, but on the
whole 1 see nothing to
recommend Guilford as a
Quaker college. • Guilford
seems to view its Quaker
heritage as good P.R., not as
. something to live up to.
One myth I have encounter
ed here - and nowhere else - is
the term "Quaker tolerance."
Several times when I
questioned practices that
appeared to me directly
opposing Quaker principles, I
received a benignly under
standing smile and the answer
"But that's what Quaker
tolerance is all about!" So 1
have found out that Quaker
tolerance means it is all right
for military recruiters to come
on campus and advertise
organizations who hide, be
hind fancy educational and
vocational programs, their
basic purpose, which is
training people to kill other
people. To not let them on
campus would be denying
them their right to voice their
opinions. Quaker tolerance
also makes it next to
impossible to enforce what
little restriction there is on
alcohol consumption - surely
we cannot deny the right to
drink what one wants in
whatever one wants? And I
suppose it is Quaker Tolerance
hwich smiles indulgently at
the toilet paper thrown over
the trees after victorious
games, ruining the view and
wasting money, resources and
countless person-hours re
quired to clean up the mess.
We don't want to squash
school spirit, do we?
It seems to me that Quaker
Tolerance is a rationalization
for the reluctance to play the
heavy, or to stand up for
beliefs. Maybe it is a lack of
beliefs. Whatever it is, it is
preventing Guilford from
seeing standards as a Quaker
college and sticking to them.
I am not advocating a
change to rigid Victorian
conduct. Quakerism is a
moving, viable way of life for
today. 1 hope those in charge
of running Guilford know this,
because if not, Guilford has no
chance as a Quaker college.

Salute
Wallace
When Wallace Galloway
gave his myth lecture, he
brought on such a storm that
Guilford was without power
until two the next morning. A
tree fell across New Garden
and a tornado tore through
Jamestown. Wallace hasn't
yet offered an apology for
damage done, or candles
melted. And why should he?
Let the ignorant believe that
storms are beyond our control.
Galloway's education has
put him in touch with an
alchemist called "Stone
burner" and a mysterious
magician named Merlin Qua
sar. Each of these savants
has guided the young hero,
Wallace Gilgamesh, on his
quest for spiritual perfection.
From his lonely cell in the
Bryan Cloisters, Wallace has
devoted himself to the
spiritual problems of our time.
His cellmate is the notorious
Captain 10-4. Together they
fight the fires of Hell.
"Quasar to Gamma Ray, do
you read me?" Wallace takes
this to be a reference to a
recent assignment. "Yes, I do
read you, Merle". All of
Systematic Theology as a
martyr of fat. "And yet my
thought is so unsystematic",
he mumbles into his beard.
(He has mastered the fine art
of muttering!)
In the course of his various
metamorphoses on the Guil
ford campus, Wallace has
carried many masks. The
crewcut freshman from the
mountains became the beard
ed longhair known as The Old
Testament Prophet. His fer
vent protestantism has won
him the appellation "Reve
rend Golly-Wally".
In the days when heroism
still had a place in campus life,
Wallace could be seen astride
a maintenance wagon, rolling
over the fields. His beard was
longer then, and he looked like
Ivan the Terrible surveying his
domain.
Wallace still inspires terror
on occasion, though his
friends say he has mellowed in
the meantime. They have,
over the years, compiled a
photographic study of Wal
lace's strange sleeping habits,
p Herein is reproduced a view of
our subject asleep in broad
daylight, with an open book on
his chest. At three the next
morning he woke up and
returned to his reading,
muttering something about
looking glasses and Indians.
