New technology for
"Phototype for solar installations"

The Ragan-Brown Fieldhouse
now under construction on the
Guilford Campus is being de
signed to accommodate an im
pressive array of conservation
and solar energy devices.
The gyn will feature a unique
combination of energy efficient
and energy-harnessing equip
ment, according to Business
Manager Jim Newlin.
There are four basic concepts
incorporated into the design of
the Physical Education Center.
The first is an automatic light
control system which derives
maximum efficiency from the
buildings skylights.
This device will dim or
brighten the lights in accor
dance with the amount of
sunlight penetrating the sky
lights. At, present electrical
rates, this system should pay
for itself in four and one half to
five years.
Five heat pumps will comprise the third
major section in the solar heated system
The top of the present gym
nasium will be fitted with solar
collectors. These collectors will
heat water up to 130°F, provi
ding hot water for showers,
stabilizing the pool's tempera
Quakers start year strongly
ture near 80°F, and heating the
building.
A six thousand gallon insula
ted, fiberglass storage tank
buried underground is linked
with these collectors to provide
excess capacity for the system.
Working in conjunction with
this portion of the system is a
heat-reclaiming device known
as sprayed coils. Basically,
these coils extract excess heat
for storage and redistribution
from areas such as showers,
lockerrooms, and dryers. This is
a concept that is very new to the
non-industrial secotr.
Five heat pumps will com
prise the third major section in
the solar heated gym. These
heat pumps will be coupled with
the fourth portion of the system,
which is called an earth heat
sink.
Briefly, this heat sink will
utilize ground under 30,000 sq.
ft. of the gym floor for a long
erm heat storage device. Begin
ning in early September, the
collectors will be turned on and
heat will be transferred to the
sink. The sink will be heated to
100°F to insure adequate heat
for 30 ddys of overcast weather

With an impressive 3-1 start
already on the record books, the
1979 Quaker football team will
play the remainder of the
season 'physically out
manned," but fighting to pull
out some upsets, according to
head Coach Charles Forbes.
Beginning with the game at
Mars Hill on October 6, Guil
ford will be battling opponents
that are stronger on "paper"
but nontheless vulnerable on
the football field
The Quakers definitely pos
sess the qualities essential to
fabricate an upset. They are
scrappy, smart, and, as Coach
Forbes says, "they will fight
tooth and nail every play."
Adding to the Quaker's hopes
for an upset is the likely return
of Chris Scissom and Andy
Collins, two key players who
have been out with injuries.
The offensive team is ex
perienced, featuring Manny
in midwinter.
This heat sink eliminates the
need for a conventional back-up
system. However, the showers
will be equipped with an emer
gency booster to insure a con
stant water temperature.
The itiitial investment for thi
type of system is not much
higher than that for a conven
tional one. At present fuel and
electrical prices, the initial in
vestment will be returned in six
to eight years, with some sec
tions producing a payout in
considerably less time
Additionally, the system con
tains few moving parts, so
maintenance costs are expected
to be low.
The integration of these four
concepts into the design of one
building makes this system
unique. According to Mr. New
lin, "no system has all these
features together."
The needs of the future
insure a demand for solar
technology, and the progressive
design of the Physical Educa
tion Center should make it a
prototype for solar installations
in numerous buildings in the
country.
Anyone interested in learning
more about this system should
attend the October 28 Energy
Awareness meeting. Jim New
lin will discuss the design in
detail, and an on-site tour is
likely.

What is filled with prizes, run
by humans, created by a news
paper, and 10,000 meters long?
If you can't answer this
riddle, you've yet to fill out an
entry form for "Read on the
Run," a 10,000 meter race
sponsored by the Guilfordian
and Stroh's Beer.
Set among the rolling hills
and ofrested property in the
Guilford College Community,
"Read on the Run" promises to
be one of the most exciting
races ever to be staged in the
Greensboro area. The race is
scheduled for 10 00 a.m. Satur
day, November 10, with sign-in
beginning at 8:30 and continu
ing through 9:30.
The entry fee of $3.00 entitles
the participant to a free "Read
on the Run" T-shirt, refresh
ments during and after the race.

Overall, Forbes thinks this
team is better than those of
recent years, despite being
frequently outmanned by bulk

avoid injuries, last year's 5-4
record can probably be sur

and the chance to win a myriad
number of prizes. Gift certifi
cates and merchandise will be
awarded to winners in each
division, and the frisbees will be
given away while they last to
those who cross the finish line
first.
The divisions will be the same
for both men and women: 16
and under, 17-24, 25-30, 31-40,
41-50, and 51 and over. Any
division with less than five
entries will automatically be
combined with the preceding
division.
Entry forms are available now
at the Information desk in
Founders Hall on the Guilford
College campus. The deadline
for entries is November 6; a
$2.00 late entry fee will be
assessed for entries received
after this date
