Distinguished Quaker Visitor Adds Light
By Todd Owens
Stephen G. Cary offered op
timism for the future in his Oct.
26 speech to IDS 101 students.
"There is always tomorrow,"
Cary said.
"Looking Towards the Future:
Options for Individuals" was part
of a series of lectures and talks
given by the Guilford College 1983
Distinguished Quaker Visitor.
Over 240 students attended the
lecture in which Cary said one of
his objectives was to give his au
dience a sense of optimism which
too often is lost in today's worries
and problems.
Cary said students should use
their years at Guilford by becom
ing involved in campus life.
"Develop the capacity to relate
to each other," Cary said.
When speaking on the interna
tional level, Cary said, "We are
not going to get instant progress
with the world's problems, but we
will only move and gain ground
for world peace if we begin to
speak up."
He urged others to speak out by

Grant Received for Study
By Michele Lynch
Through the efforts of Pro
fessor Dorothy BOrei, Director of
Intercultural Studies, Guilford
College has received a grant
from the United States Depart
ment of Education to further the
study of global economic in
terdependence. The study has a
dual nature: to create an
awareness of our nation's
dependence upon the interna
tional community and to aid in
the co-ordination of an integrated
international program at
Guilford College.
Objectives will be realized
through a two-year series of
public lectures and student
faculty seminars. A different
theme related to the topic of
"Global Econimic In
terdependence" will be studied
each semester. These themes in
order are: "Resource
Availabiltiy and Management,"
"Technology and Development,"
"Cross-Cultural Communica
tion" and "International
Finance."
From 164 college and
university applicants Guilford
was one of 36 to receive such fun
ding. The program, which has a
total of 54 colleges and univer
saying, "You never know when
one obscure person is going to
voice a common opinion and
become significant."
Lorena Bake, a freshman said,
"I was interested by the way in
which Cary paralleled the situa
tions in Cambodia and Finland.
He showed that men are quite
willing to help each other and
lend moral support, as the U.S.
did in helping rebuild support. At
the same time, when aid is not in
their best interests, a govern
ment may refuse to help a
floundering power, as in the in
stance with Cambodia. Cary
pointed out men's capacity for
actions both good and evil."
Judy Harvey says, "He brings
out of his experience and his
Quaker perspective the complex
problems that can be solved in an
optimistic and practical frame of
mind."
Harvey, Director of the
Friends Center at Guilford, says
Cary believes world-wide peace
is possible through conflict
resolution.
sities participating, has a budget
of well over $2 million. Guilford
was granted $33,000 for this year.
This money, according to Pro
gram Director Dorothy Borei,
will be used to pay for guest
speakers, faculty involvement,
new material for the library and
also for the revision of several of
Guilford's courses and the addi
tion of several more.
This curricular development is
a primary objective of the pro
gram. An estimated five courses
will be revised and three new
courses developed.
Courses to be revised will be
broadened to include a more in
ternational approach to their sub
jects. Revised courses include:
Self Instructional Japanese,
Economic and Social Develop
ment, Modern German Culture,
Mass Media America, Manage
ment 331 Money, Banking,
Monetary Theory.
New courses that are being
developed are a result of pro
gram planning that highlighted
areas in which Guilford was lack
ing. New courses that will be in
stituted are: Islam and Moder
nization, Participant Observation

Francophone Presence.
This semester's seminar
begins this week with two public
lectures that are open to the
Guilford/Greensboro Communi
ty. Issues including the cause of
world hunger, energy sources
and the availability of such
resources as metals and ores will
be the specific areas studied this
semester.
In an attempt to create cohe
sion among the numerous depart
ments and programs at Guilford,
this semester's theme "Resource
Availability and Management"
corresponds closely to the theme
of IDS 101 "2000 A.D.: Our
Planet, Our Nation, Ourselves."
The most intensive part of the
program will be the faculty
student seminars in which discus
sion will be held.
If successful in reaching its
goals this year the program may,
depending upon congressional
allocations, receive funds for the
1984-85 year. The success of the
program depends upon the in
volvement of the community and
its commitment to seeing the ob
jectives of the program fulfilled.
