Dorm board not boring dorms
By Marci Brown
Staff Writer
Under the direction of Bob
White, the residence hall pro
gramming board has sponsored
numerous activities.
Some have combined learn
ing with enjoyment, namely,
the "An Evening With. . . "
series, while others have had
pure enjoyment in mind, such
as the backgammon tournament
and the co-sponsorship of the
mini-concert featuring Blue
Kangaroo.
With Dick Dyer working as
his right hand man, White and
the board have managed to
select topics in which many of
Guilford's students are interes
ted.
The idea of the board has
been around for quite some
time and despite some unsuc
cessful attempts, it is one which
has remained appealing to
White. This year he has re
signed from his duties with the
judicial Board and traffic so
that he may devote quite a bit of
previously unavailable time to
the board.
There has been some concern
over the exclusion of day stu
dents, but there are some valid
reasons. First of all, it is a
residence hall programming
board, and as the name im
plies, it is for the occupants of
the said dorms.
Also, the funding of the
various activities comes in part
from fees that on-campus stu
dents have paid and partially
from the housing budget. Day
students are not excluded but
are unrelated to the program.
Another function of the resi
dence hall programming board
is the monthly publication,
"The Residence Hall Write-
Up." Solely responsible for this
is Dick Dyer.
He gathers input from the
coordinators as well as gather
ing information on activities by
actively participating in them.
Although he has done an excel
lent job so far, Dyer would
appreciate articles of happen
ings from the students.
It is the entire board's wish
that this board become a per
manent fixture on the Guilford
College campus, with the possi
bility of also having subdivi
sions of a large dorm program
ming board for the larger dorms
and likewise for the smaller
ones.

There is an entirely new
series of "An Evening
With. . . " mini-lectures
planned for next semester with
wide and varied topics certain to
interest the majority of the
students.
For students with strong inte
rests in particular subjects but
not strong enough for an entire
semester's involvement, there
are several mini-courses tenta
tively planned. An interest
check-off list of these mini
course topics," as well as room
for suggestions, will be printed
in the October issue of "The
Residence Hall Write-Up "
An as yet unannounced acti
vity for this semester is a roast
of the football players by the
coaches, with a surprise ending,
occurring during Homecoming
Week.
For those who have attended
and enjoyed any of this semes
ter's activities, thank Bob
White, the residential coordina
tors of each dorm, all dorm
presidents, and each dorm's
house council. They have all
worked hard to produce a
successful program, and they
have more than exceeded their
expectations.
Nydorf and
lead off-campus
In addition to the two semes
ters abroad that Guliford Col
lege sponsors, there is also the
opportunity to study for nine
weeks abroad during the sum
mer. This article is the first in a
series of articles on Summer
Schools abroad.

Roy Nydorf, an Assistant Pro
fessor of Art at Guilford, and
Keith Cushman, an Associate
Professor of English at UNC-C,
are the professors taking the
1980 Summer School to Eng
land. The cost will be approxi
mately $1,695. The two, four
credit courses will be "Art
Survey: From the Renaissance
Through Impressionism," and
"Virginia Woolf and D.H Law
rence."
Professor Nydorf will be
teaching the Art Survey course.
The course objective is to
"experience first hand the great
masterworks that have been the
building blocks of western cul
tural aesthetics."
Since London has the grea
test collection of masterworks,
study will be based on visits to
the various museums. To learn
art appreciation from a slide is
quite a different experience
from actually standing in front
of a Da Vinci, Rembrandt,
Turner or Monet.
Keith Cushman, a former
Fullbright Scholar, has spent
Summer Scho
Cuilford has seven Summer
Schools Abroad in 1980. They
are located in England, France,
Creece, Spain, Germany, Israel
and a school on Education that
will visit France, Switzerland
and England. Each school will
be six weeks in length and will
give two courses with eight
hours credit.

several years studying and tra
veling in Europe, the Middle
East and Asia He will be
teaching the English course of
the program
The course will be centered
around the fictional works of
Virginia Woolf and D.H. Law
rence. Other reading will be
supplemented into the course to
allow students to understand
the importance that these two
writers had on their time per
iod.
The group is to leave New
York May 22 and then spend
five days in Paris. While in
Paris they will visit Versailles,
the Louvre, the Jeu de Paume,
and the new Pompidou Center.
From May 27 to July 4 study
will be in London with excur
sions to the surrounding coun
tryside.
Then from July 4 to July 23,
students will have independent
travel. On July 24, the group
will meet in Paris and leave for
New York together.
According to Professor Ny
dorf, "one of the basic reasons
for going to study abroad is so
that one can enhance one's
awareness of everything "
Any one interested in going
may contact Roy Nydorf in
Founders Basement and Hege-
Cox, or obtain information from
the Center for Off-Campus Edu
cation located in Frazier Apt
#2l.
There will be a campus wide
Summer School Rally in Boren
Lounge on Tuesday, Oct 9th,
from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
All students interested in one
of the Summer Schools will have
a chance to meet with the
faculty leader and discuss the
program.
