BY DEBBY BAIN
Cyril Harvey, who has been
Guilford College Academic
Dean for the past five years,
went on leave at the closing
of the last academic year, to
determine whether of not he
wished to return as dean on
November 1,1977.
At the present moment he
and his wife Judy are living
and studying in Woodbrooke,
a Quaker study center in
England.
After consideration, Dr.
Semester in London Plans for 1978
The Curriculum Committee
has approved the request from
the Administration to begin
preliminary planning for a
London program for Fall, 1978.
As instructed by the Faculty,
no final plans for the program
may be made until a thorough
evaluation of the current
London program is made by
the Curriculum Committee
in February and reported to
the Faculty.
In the meantime it is nece
ssary for those students who
would be interested in partici
pating to make their interest
known, find out about
additional details and see how
Harvey decided not to continue
his position as dean; however,
he will return as a Professor
of Geology and Interdisciplin
ary Studies. He will also teach
courses such as Being Human
in the Twentieth Century 101,
401, and Geology.
Many exciting things have
taken place for the Harveys
while in England at the
Quaker study center. For
instance. Dr. Harvey is
presently doing research in
geology and working on a
the program, its courses and
total experience, could fit into
their schedule.
Thirty Guilford students
with faculty leader Elwood
Parker are currently in London.
The reports we have received
indicate that this is truly an
exciting semester for them
both in the academic and
experiential sense. The Guil
fordian has published a
series of letters from current
Guilfordians in London.
To express interest in parti

who has always been concern
ed with women's rights, is
comparing the situation of
the English women to that of
the United States women. In
Greensboro, she was chair
person of Greensboro's Position
on Women.
Bruce Stewart has been
Acting Dean since May 1,
1977; and together he and Dr.
Daryl Kent, Associate Dean,
make a good team. Both have
"profound respect for Mr.
Harvey as scholar, teacher,
and they are grateful for his
service as Dean." Everyone
is sincerely looking forward to
his return.
While on campus, two major
emphases of Dr. Harvey's
academic deanship were:
dealing with institutional
research, and with the
procedures for highering,
promoting, and tenuring the
faculty.
It is expected that a search
committee has been appointed
by President Hobbs to make
recommendations for the posi
tion of Guilford's new
Academic Dean.
Everyone will eventually be
able to participate in deciding
which person would best ful
fill the position.

Bookstore
Update
BY APRIL EVANS
A bookstore that would
shelve more than textbooks
has been "in the books" for a
long while. Now, it looks as
though it will finally happen.
The Bookstore Committee
has asked the faculty for
lists of books that would
interest students, and the
response had been good. The
result is a list of more than two
thousand titles, which will
be ordered in hopes for deliv
ery for the first day of next
semester.
This project is an experi
ment and the response to the
new books will determine if
more lists should be
considered for further order.
The Bookstore Committee
hopes to have one hundred
volumes in the store by
Christmas. (You may want
to do some holiday shopping!)
The faculty has until
November 23 to submit any
further lists.
The Guilfordian has agreed
to publish the titles of the
new books as they come into
the store.
