The Guilford nominees
qualified for possible selection if

of qualified students was then
presented on a ballot to all
students, faculty, and staff; all of
whom could choose up to 27 peo
ple; the number allotted to
Guilford by Who's Who. After this
voting was done, a special com
mittee met to make the final
selections.

'B3 Quaker Arrives?
By Jennifer Park
The 1983 Quaker is scheduled to
arrive this week. Dick Lowe, a
Hunter Publishing represen
tative said the Quaker was
scheduled to be shipped Monday,
Jan. 23 and expected at Guilford
College, Tues., Jan. 24.
Only 16 of the contracted 194
pages were delivered to Hunter
Publishing Company while
Jeanette Tyner served as editor
last year. John Mottern, who took
.over the task of completing the
yearbook in September, at
tributed most of Tyner's pro
blems to lack of organization and
student support. Hunter offered
the services of their design
department to complete the
layout of the Quaker last August.
Mottern, experienced in
photography and layout, made a
proposal to the Senate to com
plete the yearbook. He
understood that Hugh Stohler,
last year's advisor to the year
book, was considering Hunter's
offer.
He said that he was concerned
that there would be no coherency
if someone unfamiliar with the
people or events pictured attemp
ted to arrange the photgraphs
that last year's Quaker staff col
lected.
Mottern has been photgraphic
editor and editor of the Guilfor
dian in the past. He has also
worked professionally as a
photographer. The contract he
received from the Senate in
September to finish the Quaker
was based on his experience,
Mottern says.

The first job Mottern faced was
sorting through the photos
already assembled. Some had to
be retaken and more had to be
gathered. Mottern said he put in
more than two 40 hour weeks of
work. The majority of the layout
was done in one weekend with the
help of Gabrielle Umphrey, a
friend. Dick Lowe, who has been
handling the Quaker account at
Hunter, says that they received
122 pages on October 3.
Thirteen more pages arrived at
Hunter on October 21. Informed a
couple of weeks later that Hunter
was missing a page, Mottern told
Hunter on the phone to go ahead
and print that page blank. Lowe
said he was reluctant to print the
blank page, and later in the fall
Mottern says he sent Hunter a let
ter requesting that they go ahead
and print the page blank.
Normally printing and binding
takes about eight weeks but in
Guilford's case Hunter has rush
ed and completed the job in less
than a month, Lowe said. The
yearbook had 152 pages at the
time of printing.
The 1984 Quaker is scheduled to
be out before graduation. A sup
plement, of at least 16 pages, to
cover thk semester's activities
will come out next fall. It will at
tach to the inside of the binding of
the main book.
When asked if last year's
delays affected the decision for
early publication this year, Eric
Locklear, the Quaker editor,
said, "It certainly did."
