Students helping students is what
Guilford is all about. And the Student
Loan Fund Auction exemplifies such stu
dent outreach. Because of federal cut
backs to financial aid in 1983, Guilford
students first hosted an auction to raise
loan money for needy students. Through
private donors and past auctions, the loan
fund has now grown to $300,000.
Although Community Senate has super
vised previous auctions, this year, due to a
lack of time and manpower, President
Vance Ricks has turned to the Frank Fel
lows, a group of student entrepreneurs.
"Vance came to us and said, 4 You are the
perfect group to put this together,"' said
senior Amy Fox, one of the co-chairs for
the project. Fox and junior Ellyn Wells
coordinate the auction committee. Other
Frank Fellows involved in the auction
include Cari Boram, Kady Judge, Cronin
Warmack, Doug Griffith and Beth Offen
bcrg.
The Frank Fellows are students chosen
for their entrepreneurial interest to partici-

pate in a mentor program. These students
work with the business leaders in Greens
boro to see how the corporate sector works.
Seven of the Fellows are involved in the
auction project this year. They hope to
raise $15,000 from the Saturday, March
23, eventat the Greensboro Sheraton Hotel,
where students, alumni and area business
leaders will meet for the formal event,
which begins at 7:30 p.m.
Auctioned items will include a N.C.
State basketball signed by the current team,
a cruise to Bermuda, a weekend for two in
Las Vegas, a private tour of Washington,
D.C., with Congressman Howard Coble, a
case of toilet paper and a year's supply of
Domino's Pizza.
The Fellows used their business con
tacts in Greensboro to secure gifts and
donations for the auction. "I think one
great advantage of the program is the per
sonal contacts you make," said Fox. Fox
and Wells convinced the local CBS affili
ate WFMY-TV to be the media sponsor for
the auction.
They appeared on "The Good Morning
Show" last Tuesday, and a commercial for
the auction will run prior to the event.
Also, WFMY's Lee Kinard will emcee the
live auction.
Fox is proud that so far the
group has incurred minimal
expenses. "All the money we
save we can put back into the
loan fund," Fox said. Fox said
that the group took on the proj
ect for both Guilford students
and to honor Dorothy and
Stanley Frank, the founders of
the entrepreneurial program.
Frank is a Greensboro business
leader who also devotes time to
Guilford.
Managing the auction, too,
has been a unique experience.
Fel lows m eet every week to pro
duce mass mailings and secure
more items for the auction. "It's
time consuming, but it's fun,"
Fox said. "Everybody is having
a good time with it."
Tickets will be available at
the door of Sheraton Ballroom.
The cost is $5 for students and
$lO for faculty and staff.
