devising their own variations on

Management Department to stay
Rumors of phase-out wrong
By Gwen Bikis
Staff Writer
Vicious rumors have been cir
culating throughout the Guil
ford College Campus to the
effect that the management
department is dying and on its
way out. Like most rumors, this
one is unfounded.
The management department
at Guilford is, as a matter of
fact, thriving. As an institution
of the liberal arts, Guilford
provides an interesting facet to
the field of management which
would be lacking in technical
schools.
In a society changing as
rapidly as ours, it is important
for a management department
to be progressive and dynamic.

proved to be the setting for
several extraordinary events.
An assortment of ghoulish char
acters dished up another one of
those mouth-watering meals,
only to see the grub ruthlessly
hurled about the room. Some
sort of devine intervention
loomed a verbal warning con
cerning the aerial display, but it
unfortunately reached only deaf
ears.
In accordance with trends in
society, Guilford's management
department has revised its
course offerings. The goal of the
department is to give its stu
dents an understanding of the
workings of the society: its
changes and the needs which
will arise along with the chan
ges.
The curriculum is future
oriented, with a heavy overlay
of sociology. Guilford College is
training not technicians, but
people who will understand the
needs of society, and the place
of business in that society.

stage for a giant costume spec

stole the show, closely followed
by the spindly spider woman.

However, several students
chose to remain anonymous

wise choice considering that

sociology, psychology, and his

From math, the management
student learns how to make
more rational decisions with the
help of the decision theory.
Psychology and sociology are
important sources of instruction
for knowledge in dealing with

Ending the stress spiral
A second in a series of stress reduction workshops will be offered
at Guilford College on November 11 and 18 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m in
the Fine Arts Room of the Guilford College Library. Applications
may be obtained at the Office for Student Services, Bryan Hall.
This workshop will be facilitated by Ron Oakland, a doctoral
candidate in the Department of Guidance and Counseling at
UNC-G. Ron has been involved in helping college students who
wish to focus on working with the body as a door to the direct
experience of life where thinking falls away.
This workshop will provide an experience of the way persons can
use their energy to reduce present stress, to see into themselves
and make direct and immediate contact with all aspects of daily
living. The methods used are non-competitive and non-striving,
directed toward creating calmness and clarity. This approach often
leads to a lessening of feelings of fragmentation and to a greater
sense of wellbeing and of purpose.
Many of the present techniques used in the reduction of the
stress spiral prime our power of attention while relaxing the body.
A relaxed alertness improves skill in sensory detection and muscle
control. This same training combination is found in many Eastern
martial arts.
Research evidence shows that meditation and relaxation
techniques are ways we can improve our concentration and allows
us to do better at whatever we try. The workshop encourages
individuals to regulate their efforts to their own situation and be
willing to look at their lives with alert interest.
Scene for "Bottom of the Bucket, But . . ." to be performed
November 6 in Dana Auditorium at 8:15 p.m. Free for all Guilford
College students.

The following morning the
cries of a lost army battalion
still echoed through the cam
pus. A conspicuous inscription
adorned the well-worn sidewalk
in front of Founders Hall as well
as paint on the new white
posts.
Broken eggs lay scattered on
the ground, apparently having
missed their targets. Yet the
staunch symbols of every Hal
loween, the jack-o-lanterns,
remained intact throughout the
night.
