New ideas in classroom
By Suzette Holbrook, Staff
Writer
"Geology gives me a feeling
for what is going on around me.
It's a bigger perspective. Plus, I
get to see a few sunsets," says
Jay Van Tassell, an associate
professor of Geology who is new
to the Guilford College com
munity.
Sara Malino, associate pro
fessor of history and another
recent addition to the faculty
comments upon her discipline:
Social change is possible through education
"The study of American history
as a historical tradition gives us
a sense of identity. It's a
process of self-expression and it
provides us with a social iden
tity. Social change is needed
and is possible through educa
tion."
Though Sara Malino and Jay
Van Tassell teach widely di
verse subjects, their views on

the reasons for teaching their
subjects appear to be remark
ably similar. An increasing
awareness of the world around
us reflects the purpose of both
their subjects.
Van Tassell came to Guilford
from Emory University and is
filling a temporary, one-year
position as a professor of Geo
logy. He has degrees from
Bowdoin College, the Univer
sity of Wisconsin and is current
ly working on his dissertation in
connection with Duke Univer
sity.
Petrology and a course that
he instructed at Emory, Geolo
gical Hazards, comprise Van
Tassell's teaching schedule.
Hurricanes, earthquakes and
other natural deleterious occur
rences are all studied in Geolo
gical Hazards.

new member of the Guilford
College student body.
"I don't like the food in the
cafeteria. I hate it; you lose too
much weight because you don't
want to eat it. They don't spice
or salt it and they use crisco for
butter. I like the way most of the
classes are handled by the
teachers, and I like the small
ness of the campus."
--Linda Ress
"There is too much partying.
Everybody is friendly; you don't
have to imitate; you can be
yourself."
—Naomi Backes
"I don't like the way they
close you out of classes; there
were not enough selections. I
like everything else really.'"
--Diane Bulwin
"I like the forestry program. I
like the honor code. But I
haven't been here long enough
to decide what I don't like."
—Bill Flora
Jean Geiger., a member of the
volleyball team joins Guilford
from Rockville, Md.
"I don't like the snobby
upperclassmen, the drunk jocks
when they're not invited. I don't
like people who don't know how
to handle their liquor. Other
than the few that are pretty
snobby, everyone else seems
very cordial-really nice. I feel
at home here. But that's not
saying much; I call home where
I hang my hat.
—No name
"I don't like the color of my
walls. We should be allowed to
have as many people as we want
in our rooms as long as we don't
disturb our suitemates. I like
the people and the closeness
between friends."
--Sharon Wallace

"I disapprove of the visiting
hours. The college is trying to
assume two things for us --
responsibility and morality
Most of us are 18, legal adults;
it is not their right. Plus it is
unfair to assume that if some
one stays all night they are
having sex."
--No Name
"I don't like the amount of
work I'm not getting done. I like
the variety of people."
-Doug Hoover
"I don't like the one o'clock
curfew and Sunday night should
at least be steak. I like the small
size and closeness of the peo
ple."
-Peter Nielsen
