A Whale
of an Exhibit
By Joe Pardington
News Editor
There will be a Cetology Ex
hibit in Founders Hall beginning
today and running until Friday
April 22. Staffed by students from
Jackie Ludel's Cetology class,
the exhibit will have an abun
dance of Whale and Dophin
displays. Included in the exhibit
will be a re-articulated skeleton
of a skinner Dolphin. The
Cetology exhibit will be open
from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and
4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. everyday
from Friday to Friday, and from
9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Mon
day.
There will be a continuous slide
show, with narration, on whales
in general, the whaling industry
and the preservation of whales.
There will also be exhibit dealing
with the circulatory, respiritory
and, nerve systems of whales;
whale behavior, whale preserva
tion, and whale skeletal struc
ture.
Specimens included will be in
ternal organs from a dolphin that
the Cetology class dissected;
whale vertebrae, whale ribs;
whale scalpula (the shoulder
blades) and baleen the whales
feeding apparatus (strainers).
The fund raising projects of the
Cetology Exhibit include cookies
made in the shape of whales,
whale pencil holders, and a
possibility of T-shirts depending
on the number of people who
want them. All proceeds will go to
the Marine Mammal Stranding
Center in New Jersey, which is
run with the financial aid of Bob
Schoelkopf. It is a non-profit
organization.
The purpose of the Cetology
Exhibit is to "provide the public
with as much information on
whales as possible so that they
might realize how grand the
whale is, and possibly become in
terested in the preservation of
whales," according to a Cetology
student, Steve Montgomery.
Serendipity Recap
by Arnold Markley
Staff Writer
Despite disappointing weather
and the last-minute cancellation
of the Mike Cross concert, this
year's Serendipity turned out to
be a great success and a lot of
fun!
The first big event was Tues
day nights "Open Mike Night" in
Sternberger, where we were
entertained by a wide variety of
performances, and were again
reminded of the great amount of
talent here on Guilford's campus.
Thursday night, a standing-room
only crowd turned out to take
another fun trip back to the old
familiar 4077 th Army surgical
camp with the original
"M*A*S*H" movie.
Friday evening marked the
beginning of the weekend
festivities - the Pub was opened
Harassment
Not to be Tolerated
by Joy Opaleski
Editor in Chief
A recent rise in racial harass
ment has caused concern on the
Guilford Campus. In an attempt
to "raise the consciousness level
and make a statement" about
this "sensitive issue," Ken
Schwab, Bob White and Presi
dent Rogers circulated literature
about the subject to the dorms
Thursday afternoon.
President Rogers' essay entitl
ed "The Cosmos and Me," con
tained his views on the delicate
balance between a "world etched
against the vastness of space"
and the important social rela
tions which hold this world and in
turn, this campus together.
"Many of us, both faculty and
students, come to Guilford
because it supports not only in
tellectual and social oppor
tunities, but also gives the con
text for deepening these personal
and even religious values. The
College, both formally and infor
mally, stresses the importance of
individual development and the
realization of these goals of iden
tity, esteem, belonging, affection,
and purpose.
"Yet for this very reason it
troubles me when events occur
here that are diminishing or
disrespectful of people of dif
ferent races or cultural and
economic backgrounds. Name
calling or personal abuse and
harassment destroy a sense of
up, and we were entertained by
three bands: "Mickey Mills and
Steel," "Vanguard," and "The
Neighborhood." Despite the thick
mud around English Dorm, the
Pub remained a popular spot,
and some even took full advan-
tage of the weather by sliding and
wrestling in the mud!
The 10-Kilometer Run started
off Saturday's agenda, which was
followed up by outside activities
on the Lawn in front of English
Dorm. No one allowed the scat
tered showers to put a damper on
the fun. Saturday afternoon we
were fortunate to have the
"Robin Thompson Band" give us
a fantastic concert in the
Auditorium. Other entertainment
on Saturday included the
"UNC-G Cloggers" and the
"Jimmy Person Quintet."

belonging, warp the yearning for
esteem, generate anger and feel
ings of betrayal rather than af
fection and a sense of significant
identity. Such behavior is not on
ly a violation of important prin
ciples in this College, it also belit
tles one's own potentiality for a
mature and worthy human fulfill
ment.
"I urge each of you to make the
most in our brief time here
together. I urge you to respect
your own growth as a person of
integrity and compassion. And I
urge you to act toward other peo
ple in this community in ways
that will enhance their sense of
esteem and belonging rather than
diminish it. This is a diverse and
interesting community, indeed a
fascinating and personally
stimulating one. Let's do all that
we can to cherish that, avoiding
that which is hurtful and
cooperating with others from
whose different perspectives we
have much to learn."
Students services also had a
response to the problem, though
much more matter-of-fact than
President Roger's writing.
When contacted Bob White
commented on the increase of in
cidents and mentioned that the
1982-83 handbook was the first to
"have a regulation on harass
ment. The (most recent case)
resulted in Judicial Charges"
which is also a first.
The information circulated
The rained-out picnic held in
the cafeteria proved to be fun too
as "Brick" sang and played for
us, and the D.J. Dance (by
"Rozoid") was also successful
Saturday night.
Naturally, the sun came out
Sunday morning, but the
weekend wasn't entirely over yet.

read as follows
As you may be aware, the
Guilford College codebook con
tains a regulation that deals with
harassment. The major em
phasis of this regulation is that an
attitude of mutual respect should
exist between all students
regardless of sex, race, ethnic
origin or religion.
Guilford believes strongly in
this principle and hopes that all
students will honor this belief.
We recognize that this is an ex
tremely sensitive area and must
be dealt with in a sensitive man
ner.
Should you be the victim of
harassment there are several op
tions open to you.
1. The first avenue may be a
direct and personal request to the
person or persons involved in do
ing something that is hurtful or
offensive to you.
2. The second and formal
route is to bring charges through
the campus judicial system. To
do this you may consult your in
tern, coordinator or come direct
ly to the Student Service Office
for assistance in completing the
necessary form.
3. If, for whatever reason,
you do not want to bring judicial
charges, but, also do not want
this behavior to go unchallenged,
come to the Student Services Of
fice and report this violation.
Your report will be kept in total
confidence and no response will
be made that is not in accord with
your wishes.
At 2:00, "Mister Fingers," an in
credibly adroit magician,
mystified us with fascinating
tricks and tricks and various
feats of magic.
Now Serendipity is all over and
the campus has gradually
recovered. But, there's always
next year's celebration to enjoy.
