Alex Haley
Pick Up Your
Haley Ticket Now
Alex Haley, author of Roots
and The Autobiography of
Malcolm X will speak on
Sunday, April 24, at 8:15 p.m.
Because of the need for a
large auditorium to seat all
Guilford students, faculty,
staff, and spouses, as well
as students from other local
colleges and universities,
Haley will speak in War
Memorial Auditorium at the
Coliseum Complex instead of
at Dana Auditorium. All
Guilford Students and
Faculty must pick up their
reserved-seat tickets at the
Founders Desk by April 1
in order to be assurred of
seating. Tickets for students
and faculty cost SI.OO each;
tickets for student and faculty
spouses cost $2.50 each.
There will be no tickets avail
able to the general public.
Haley's appearance is
being sponsored by the Guilford
College Arts Series, with co
sponsorship by BASIB and the
Neo-Black Society of UNC-G.
He was engaged to come last
October, before the phenom
enal success of the book and
television version of Roots.
Alex Haley last appeared at
Guilford College four years
ago. Many people considered
him then to be the most spell
binding speaker they had
ever heard.
The inpetus for his being
brought back to Guilford
college came from Jim
Gifford and Fred Hunt as they
were planning for the Roots
course, designed around the
book and television program.
Again, all Guilford College
students and faculty, and their
spouses are urged to attend,
but you cannot attend without
purchasing your reserved
seat ticket. You will not be
guaranteed a ticket if you do
not pick it up by April 1.
Transportation will be
arranged for everyone to
attend this lecture, by car
pooling and chartered busses.
