Guilford Life

From The Editor:
As exam week once
again comes to campus,
we are faced once more
with the problem of insuf
ficient study space at
Guilford.
While it is true that
many desks in the library
and other places are left
unused, factors of quality
and quietness undoubtedly
play a role. Many students
resort to going to other
area schools, such as
UNC-G, to get the kind of
environment they need for
studying.
What is to be done? The
opening of a Frazier apart
ment as a study space is a
step in the right direction,
and the new library addi
tion promises to aid great
ly in this area. But more
immediate solutions are
available.
The library should be
open 24 hourse during ex
am time. A skeleton staff
could be maintained for
this brief period twice a
year, and many students
study best very late at

night or early morning.
Leaving open rooms
upstairs in Founders, par
ticularly 203-A and B, and
equipping them with desks
and chairs would also pro
vide some temporary
relief.
The improvement of
study rooms in dorms -
better lighting, chairs, etc.
would alleviate much of
the problem, since many
students would like to stay
in their building late at
night to study. Many
dorms could use funds out
of the Dorm Improvement
Fund for this purpose.
Stricter enforcement of
quiet hours is a simple
step to encourage students
to stay in their rooms to
study. As they are now,
quiet hours exist only in
codebooks and memos, but
are rarely actuality.
These steps do not re
quire gargantuan changes
in policies or budgets, but
would be beneficial to
Guilford as an academic
community.
The problems of hunger
and malnutrition are caus
ing growing concern in the
world today. On
November 19, four hun
dred and twenty Guilford
students showed that they
share this concern by par
ticipating in the Oxfam
and Church World Ser
vices Fast.
This number of people
reflects not only the
largest percentage of
students to sign up for a
fast, over half of the
students on the meal plan
but also the largest
number of actually keep
their commitment and not
enter the cafeteria (420 out
of 437).
Numbers of students are
not, however, the most im
portant outcome. It is the
participation of each in
dividual student, the act of
each signing his name and
making the commitment
that is important and
should be commended.
Letter to
the Editor
The Guilfordian article,
"The CEE War" by Janice
Hood contained several in
accuracies regarding the
Frazier Apartment*. First
and foremost, the Frazier
Apartments are family
housing units available to
any student either CCE or
Main Campus who meets
the following criteria: (1)
is married, or has a depen
dent child living with
him/her; or is handicap
ped (upon petition ap
proval by Ad Council) and
(2) is a full time student
Library at Exam Time?
Fast Most Successful Yet
Motives for the fast
varied. Some students
decided to fast as a sym
bolic involvement in the
plight of the hungry, while
others wished to use the
occasion to donate their
money to agencies that
have been successful in
famine relief and in
educating developing
areas in the efficient use of
resources.
During the week of the
fast, several accompany
ing events helped to
educate students. Special
thanks should be given to
David Barnhill, Joe
Groves, David Hooks and
to Mike Akins of Urban
Ministries for their lec
tures and discussions.
Thanks are also due to
Carol Clark for her
guidance in organizing the
week's events, assisting in
ordering educational
films, and donating
materials for many, many
posters.
(12 credits/semester). The
Frazier Apartments are
certainly not limited to
CCE students as Ms. Hood
stated, indeed, we
ourselves are Main Cam
pus students as well as be
ing Frazier residents.
Ms. Hood also stated
that the rent for the
Fraziers is $95.00/ month.
Wrong again. A one
bedroom Frazier is
SBO.OO/month, a two
bedroom $90.00/ month,
utilities and kitchen ap
pliances not included.

universities the size of

Anne Devaney also
helped with suggestions
and a great amount of flex
ibility in the use of the
facilities in Founder's.
Quaker Concerns pro
vided a "Breaking of the
Bread" for many
HUNGRY students on Fri
day morning. Thanks also
go out to all who gave
monetary donations and to
those who donated canned
goods to a grateful Pot
ter's House, which is
Greensboro's soup kit
chen.
Although total figures
are still pending, the
amount expected to be
received from Epicure, is
approximately SBBO to be
added to the over S3OO col
lected in individual dona
tions. Thanks to the
cooperation of Eipcure
and much of the college
community, the fast was a
success.

Guilford was fortunate to
receive these 35 (not 75)

housing by their donor,

Gurney Frazier.
