Teachers, studen By April Evans Following a campus-wide bal loting, the Board of Visitors Selection Committee has recom mended Mildred Marlette and Fed Parkhurst for the Excel lence in Teaching Awards and Jim Hood for the Senior Ex cellence Award. The Criteria for the Excel lence in Teaching are: academic competance; outstanding class room/lecture performance; cre ative, fresh approach to teach ing; good relationships with students both in and outside the classroom; involvement in the life of the college beyond the teacher's own courses and de partment; and positive contri butions to the quality of life at Guilford. "Binford Beach" a blast By Gwen Bikis For students sweating and laboring over final papers and overwrought about exams, the Binford Beach dance of Satur day night was an oasis of refreshment, the last fling before the end of spring. Al though there were ominous signs of rain that afternoon, the drops never fell, and the dance was held outside, as it traditio nally has been. As it turned out, the weather was beautiful; cool and clear and fragrant, and just right for twisting the night away. Several people spread beach blankets Speaking about receiving the award, Miss Marlette stated that she was surprised and "not at all sure I am deserving," even though she has worked hard at teaching and advising for thirty-one years. Miss Mar lette said she was honored and felt she was "in good com pany." She thinks it is generous of the Board of Visitors to initiate and continue the award and Miss Marlete was most grateful to the Selection Com mittee for the Award. When considering her teach ing methods, Miss Marlette said that primarily it was infor mality in the classroom -- meaning a Rood teacher-student Continued on page eight and lounged, listening to the music. Binford Beach dances have always enjoyed large, enthusiastic crowds, and this one was no exception. By the end of the night, everybody was up on their feet and dancing in the moonlight. The band, Flight of Phoenix, is an all-woman outfit from upper-state New York. Flight of Phoenix plays rock because, as the lead singer put it, "other types of music are boring." Flight of Phoenix is far from boring. Their reportoire ranges from Jeff Beck to "Disco Infer no," with a heavy dosage of the Guilford College Greensboro,N.C. 27410 By Beth Eakes The Semester Abroad Pro gram will see a total of fifty three students in London and Munich next Fall. During these programs, it will be necessary for the participants to assume the ordinary responsibilities of administration and student go vernment. Dr. William Fulcher of the Biology Department and Dr. William Burris of the Political Science Department will as sume the administrative re sponsibilities of handling funds, maintaining academic regula tions and acting as advisor in judicial hearings or in adminis trative hearings as defined by the Guilford College Codebook. Students will assume the collective responsibilities of stu dent government, in particular fulfilling the duties of House Council and Judicial Board, should instances occur in which Award winner Jim Hood Doobie Brothers for good mea sure. Every band appreciates nix's favorite concert dates have been for rowdy college crowds. The five women do not play sedate, sit-back music; their aim is to get people to dance, and Guilford students respon ded as rowdily as any other crowd. By unanimous demand, the band played two encores, and stepped down from the stage to the screams of "more, more." They could have played all night; nobody was willing to let the spell of Binford Beach end. such hearings should be re quired. Student life will be governed by the regulations of the Codebook. Prior to departure, students and the faculty directors will meet with Ken Schwab, Dean of Students, to review these mat ters. The students will then select a group of four to act as an executive committee which will handle any problems that could possibly arise from code violations. The 1979 London Program is being directed by Dick Coe and Dr. Fulcher, weekly meetings have been held this spring in an effort to prepare the students for many of the cultural changes they will experience abroad next fall. Four courses are being of fered along with several inde pendent studies being arranged by Individual students. Two of the courses, Theatre in Britain and the first Industrial Nation will be taught by professors from the University of London. The university is located near Friend's House where some of the Program's classes will be held. Botany in Britain is being offered by Dr. Fulcher. He is looking forward to teaching the course which will include taking advantage of one of London's resources the world famous Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. Guilford College will provide the students in both programs with a weekly allowance which is part of their tuition. The London participants will live at the Vienna Hotel where they can cook their own meals. The hotel is located in Maide Vale, a residential section of London.

A five day retreat to Woodbrook College is sche duled to begin on the 10th. Located near Burmingham, Woodbrook is a Quaker institu tion founded by the Cadbury family.

Dr. Carl Fischer, leader of the America House in Munich has planned an intercultural excur sion to the castle of Ludwig II for the group.
