Campus quality reviewed

Guilford College's student
government wields a great deal
of policy-making power The
Community Senate is consi
dered to be the most autono
mous student governing body in
North Carolina. Comprised of
twenty-one student Senators,
two faculty members, and two
members of the administration,
the Community Senate can con
ceivably change any policy
found in the fifty-page revised
student codebook
The autonomy of the Commu
nity Senate stems from the fact
that there exists totally student
run activities such as the Guil
fordian and WQFS. The Senate
has the authority to determine
student activity fees which this
year were raised to $87.50.
Parliamentary procedure is ab
sent at Senate affairs. The
governing body follows a Qua

Specials lure customers
Student dollar well-spent

According to some surveys,
Guiford College adds only 15%
to Quaker Village patronage.
Why then do the owners and
managers advertise in Guilford
publications, distribute cou
pons, and even run exclusive
student specials?
Hucks, a delicatessen serving
beer and wine, has a larger
percentage of Guilford patron
age. This year there has been a
substantial decrease in students
going to Hucks. Hucks could
survive without Guilford, but
owner Ted Getsinger admits, "I
wouldn't have opened it if
Guilford wasn't. . . here. I
went. . . to Guilford and wan
ted it to be Guilford's casual
gathering place."
With occasional 251 beer
specials, Open Mike Night on
Tuesdays, acoustic and folk
music on Fridays and Saturdays
and jazz on Sunday, Getsinger
has tried to lure Guilford stu
dents back to his rather expen
sive establishment. When
asked about his increase in
prices over the summer, Get
singer said it was out of
to a growing concern in student
government throughout the
country's colleges and univer
sities "We are here to help the
students," says Hamrick. Fur
thering his comments on Guil
ford's senate, Hamrick said:
"Because we are working with
otherfactionsof the college, we
can see where there is a
deficiency and need for
change."
With all its differences and
many changes, the Senate
hopes to be an effective govern
ing body. Much of this depends
on student involvement," says
Hamrick. Seats are available on
the various committees to all
students. Concluded Hamrick,
"It would be a shame to see
them go unfilled."
necessity.
Papillons, also in order to lure
students, is changing its format
from disco to live bands. With a
greater emphasis on rock and
roll and blueßrass, student cou
pons, 25?f draft, and top names
such as Bill Monroe and the
Austin Bros..Papillons is seeing
an increase.
Despite an overall decline,
business picks up when stu
dents return to college and
during special college events
such as the Eastern Music
Festival.
Elsie Johnson, manager of
Mayberry's ice cream shop,
sees some student business, but
reminisces when ice cream par
lors were the "hang-outs," I
guess it's Papillons or Huck's
now." Although Mayberry pro

packets, Ms. Johnson is realis

"Most businesses pick this area
because it is rapidly developing
and close to the higher popu
lation density areas of Greens
boro."
On August 28, the Quaker
Village Merchants Assoc. spon
sored a party at Papillons for
the college. Despite poor wea
ther, 875 Guilford staff and
students attended. Initially
thought of by Richard Apple of
Apple House Cafeteria, it was
considered a success.
"The only thing that went
wrong," said George Edmonds
of Edmonds' Drug Store, "was
that the loudspeaker could not
be heard over the music and
after calling three numbers we
finally had to hold a dance
contest to give away SIOO.OO. I
didn't see anyone get out of
hand and not one cross word
between anyone. We were quite
thrilled."
In all, SIOO.OO in merchandise
and $175.00 in money, along
with Papillon memberships,
were given away. Plenty of beer
and food was served. In fact,
the party went so well the
merchants want to have it
yearly and Mr. Apple believes
they will hold a Christmas party
as well.
Edmonds' has more busint

stead of in the pharmaceutical
area. Keith Fulbright's Phar
macy allows students to bill
their parents for prescriptions.
Store managers often work
with the college in many ways.
George Edmonds works closely
with the physical education
department and its director, Dr.
Appenzeller. Mr. Edmonds has
been a supporter of Guilford
athletics for 20 years.

He sponsors the Quaker Su
per Saturdays and Sundays, has
bought watches for the girls'
volleyball team when they won
the State Championship, and
advertises in the football bro
chures. "We know that he'll
always be the first one to help
us; we can count on him,"
concludes Dr. Appenzeller.
Steve Wilson, manager of
College Drugs, says that he was
looking forward to Guilford
students returning this fall. He
provides freshman coupons and
has advertised in the Guilfor
dian as well.
He notes, however, that when
he ran a special coupon in the
Guilfordian for a hotdog
and-coke combination only the
faculty took advantage of it.
Other stores offer special
student rates and specials. Ter

according to manager Betty
Blevins.
The Quaker Village Florist is
also offering a 10% discount to
Guilford students. QVF has
been receiving orders from
students who previously had to
go all the way to Friendly
Shopping Center for flowers.
"Students are coming in to
send flowers home to parents
and the boys buy roses for the
girls," explains the owners.
Pier I offers discount coupons
in the Guilfordian and keeps
bedspreads and pillows in
stock.
Open Pantry definitely feels
the return of students in the
fall. The majority of the cus
tomers during Phyllis Wicker's
late night shift are Guilford
students coming in for chips
and beer.
Several mall residents believe
there should be even more
stores catering to college stu
dents. Still, existing stores are
quite aware of their student
customers
