COMMUNITY NOTES
A SIOO award for an essay by a
Guilford College freshman will be
presented at the Student Awards
Convocation, April 14, 1985. The
essays may be in any field on any
subject and may range from per
sonal and original response to
more conventional scholarly
writing.
Essays will be judged on clari
ty, sensitivity, and in
sight—criteria which are as ap
propriate to an autobiographical
essay as to a critical exploration.
The essays should display the
usual coherence and logic of
scholarly work, but there is no
reason that scholarship can't
reflect the personal voice of the
writer with all its individuality.
We are hoping to blur false
distinctions between academic
and creativity.
Manuscripts should be
presented in the format ap
propriate to the academic
discipline in which it was
prepared, or, in the case of an in
terdisciplinary essay, in the stan
dard form most appropriate to
the essay. There are no specifica
tions about length. All entires
must be tyoes or rendered on a
word processor and must be
double-spaced. A removable
cover sheet should contain the ti
tle of the essay, the student's
name, and, if the essay was writ
ten for a class, the course title
and the instructor's name. If the
original paper has been marked
by an instructor, a fresh, un
marked copy should be submit
ted.
All entries must be delivered to
Claire Helgeson's Office in the
Academic Skills Center, library
basement, by Friday, March 29
at 5:00 p.m.

Students, Faculty, Staff, and Ad
ministration :
I would like to solicit nomina
tions for the AAron Simon Award
for excellence in teaching by a
Guilford teaching assistant. This
award, which includes a SSO
honorarium, is meant to
recognize the important educa
tional contributions made by
students who serve as lab
assistants, teaching assistants,
and tutors at Guilford College. All
students involved in such work
during the 1984-85 academic year
are eligible, and any member of
the College community can
nominate an individual for the
award. Nominations should brief
ly describe why the nominator
believes the nominee deserves
recognition for his or her efforts
in teaching other students. All
nominations should reach me by
5 PM Monday. March 25 in order
to be considered. They may
either be sent through intramural
mail or hand delivered to me in
King B-27.
Sincerely,
Sheridan Simon
Does your yard resemble the
tropical jungles of the Amazon?
Is your attic stocked with more
artifacts than the Smithsonian?
Would a day alone without the
kids be a greater miracle than
the parting of the Red Sea? If you
answered, "Yes," to any or all of
these questions, then you need to
know about "Service Saturday"
on March 23.
Organized by the Guilford Col
lege Community Senate, the pur
pose of "Service Saturday" is to
rent students, and possibly facul
ty, to the Greensboro community
to do spring cleaning jobs as well
as other jobs. The aim of the
event is to help raise money for
the Community Senate Student
Loan Fund. Established by
students in 1982 to help combat
governmental fincancial aid cut
backs, the fund was the first of its
kind in the nation, bringing na
tional recognition and more than
$170,000 to help needy students
with tuition costs.
Students will be rented in pairs/
for a minimum of two hours at
$5.00 per hour per student. Help
yourself and the students of
Guilford-rent a couple of students
for a day.
