Careers."
Weinblatt said, "the associa
tion was formed in order to pro
vide young people interested in
communications, primarily col
lege students, with a contact and
network base." This is ac
complished through their mon
thly newsletter, "The Rising
Communicator." Drotman, who
also serves as editor of the
newsletter said, "the publication
additionally serves as an educa
tional tool providing in depth ex
amination of certain facets of the
business, company profiles and
industry news."
These moguls-in-training took
Hollywood and New York City by
such a storm that they have at
tracted their mentor moguls onto
the Board of Advisors. Such
heavy hitters as Robert Pittman,
President of MTV Networks;
Lome Michaels, Executive Pro
ducer of "Saturday Night Live,"
Pierson Mapes, President, NBC
Television Network and John
Cooke, President of The Disney
Channel headline the board. Not
bad,huh?
Of course, the group has
already been involved in "The
Biz" through CEN Group Inc., an
entertainment news and public
relations company founded by
Weinblatt.
For only S2O, NARC is a great
chance to take the first step into
the exciting world of entertain
ment and communications. For

The Hildebrandt House

Around the middle of last sum
mer, Guilford College acquired
an important new piece of pro
perty. The lot is located by the
campus at our southeastern cor
ner and on it stands the
Hildebrandt House, which is now
an alternative residence hall for
our students.
The Building and Grounds
Committee of the Board of
Trustees looked into the pur
chase, which was then approved
by the full Board. The College
reportedly paid about SIIB,OOO for
the roomy, sturdy house, which
sits behind the Open Pantry on
Dolley Madison Road.
Currently a number of students
who have at some time studied on
the Guilford Semester Abroad in
London Program occupy the
house. Their drive to land in an
alternative or "satellite" house
was spearheaded by Ms. Gena
Pitrof and Ms. Cynthia Duhaney.
According to Bob White, Direc
tor of Housing and Security, the
College "had hoped to use (the
house) in the fall," but it required
renovation to pass structural re
quirements for college housing.

Fire-rated doors and smoke
alarms had to be put in place, an
entrance ramp and parking spot
for handicapped persons install
ed, and one room partitioned.
Fire codes also prevent the use of
the basement as student living
space.
Students living in the
Hildebrant House report that a
number of annoying problems
with the house have arisen. In the
first days of the semester there
was no hot water, then an electric
stove ran amok, and finally a
bulldozer ground up the front
lawn as the facilities for the han
dicapped were constructed.
Now that all of these shortcom
ings have been brought up to par,
the residents are, on the whole,
content with their quarters. A
number of them, however, ex
pressed an interest in being
allowed off the meal plan, con
sidering the distance the house
stands from the nucleus of cam
pus; a few minor stuctural pro
blems persist as well, such as a
paucity of phone jacks, cleaning
stuffs, curtain rods, and the like.
Another potential problem is the
infrequency with which security
has visited the house; residents
report having had only minimal
contact with student security
guards.
Business Manager Dick Coe
stated that "we were looking for

(iuilfordian—
additional student housing," and
that the Hildebrandt structure is
hearty enough "to take the wear
and tear of students." Operating
satellite houses such as The
Pines, the Pope House, the
Hildebrandt, and the Danas
makes good financial sense, Coe
said.
Guilford has incurred no long
term debts from new dorm con
struction because we use houses
to cope with rises and falls in
enrollment. Half-filled dor
mitories are very expensive to
run, but the College can close
down a house "without seriously
affecting dollar costs." Plus, Coe
noted, satellite housing provides
a good alternative to students
seeking less traditional ac
comodations.
Next year, the Hildebrandt,
capable of holding between 10
and 15 students, will be thrown in
to the mill of alternative housing
According to White, the Pope
House is in need of "a fair
amount of work" and might be
temporarily taken out of circula
tion and rejuventated. The
George White House is no longer
available for student use. After
extensive renovation the College
has turned the well-known dwell
ing, possessed of a loud and long
history, into office space for
Quaker and college-related social
service organizations.
