There is little doubt that the vast majority of Guilford's student population is well aware of Guilford's history as a Quaker school. But how much do students know about the Reli gious Society of Friends and the ideals the Quaker faith is based on? It is important for Guilford stu dents to be knowlegeable about Quakerism, because its religious history is what makes Guilford dif ferent from most of the other small, private liberal arts colleges in the country. I am a Quaker, and one of the main reasons I chose Guilford is because it is a Quaker school. I knew that if I went to Guilford I would be able to get a quality edu cation in a nuturing and close com munity. The Quaker background of Guilford influences more as pects of the school's community Corrections • Jerry Godara, in "SOAN professor's ujt remembered is the Associate Academic Dean for Advising. • In "Curatorial changes progress the Quaker Tapestry will replace the Art Dept.

It is imperative that stu dents be aware of the practices and beliefs of the Religious Society of Friends so that they may better un derstand the school. In order to understand the phi losophy and community of Guil ford, it is vital to understand the ideals of Quakerism. The Reli gious Society of Friends is based on the values of social equality, justice, education, peace and sim plicity. These ideals are firmly rooted in Guilford and influence the way the school operates. De cisions are made in student and faculty organizations through con sensus, the decision-making pro cess essential to Quakers. The solid relationship between student and faculty and students them selves is a by-product of Quaker emphasis on social equality. Many professors at Guilford even begin each class with a moment of si lence. Silence is the traditional form of worship for Friends. Also, as Quaker student Alex Kem said, "It is important to un ser*pectit*o ttM' * : |x>d tasiie in oiie's . z • §j|f % Transient Random-Noise ;;; |;:: Bwtf WSlh Announcements ||| from Ste&olab (E&ktra): • |J||f a troupe of fcespi |,3MSB jockeying flaming, iron ||: : Jx*aeSfai*tmoafld liarapiedTfce ;|: ; ;3ptx*s ; pik> harmless fragments of seqf|ing i hoover it might sound like this. !j|||w could J||in cafes wiiSwt |§ gravity and jjoat next t.sipw ffgbappucino, o£inaybesven dance wuh the newly mobile coffee, it might sound like this.

The challenges Guilford may face in future years can be more easily tackled if students and faculty are aware of the school's past. Guilford's roots lie in Quakerism, and we can seek insight in solving problems by examining the Quaker ideals on which the school is founded. Ideally, there should be a healthy balance of initiative between stu dents and the school. Progress has been made over the past few years in raising awareness on campus about Quakerism. Campus Min istries and Friends Center are ser vices on campus that provide in formation and programs on Quak erism. There is also a widely at tended Quaker Concerns group that meets weekly on campus. Guilford students should be more aware and interested in Quaker ism, and the school should con tinue to provide outlets for this in terest Creative Resistance Naomi Blass Staff Writer Some people think that the need for feminism ended with the be ginning of the Nineties, but this is not so. More appropriately, our Mothers' feminism has brought us to where we are, and it is our turn to pick up the journey of Women's Liberation. Women of Generation X, this column is for you. But what is there left for us to do? Be aware, the doing is in the voicing. Know that now is not the time to return to silence or pacifi cation. This reality was not sim ply handed over to men by a male god who created women almost as an afterthought, but rather was cre ated for their purposes, and our subsequent demise. Be aware of womens' history that pre-dates the ChrisUan era.

But for a few excep tions, our history has been obliter ated for centuries by men. Be aware that your body is your own and does not belong to the government, your family, or to your lover. Be aware of your Latino, Afri can-American, Asian, Indian, and Jewish sisters' oppression. Be aware that the most famous painting by Peter Paul Rubens is The Rape of the Sabine Women. Be aware that there is a connec tion between the mutilation of Mother Earth and the women who inhabit her. 3e aware of the fairy tales you were told as a child, and of those you may tell your children. Be aware and vocal. Be loud. Be furious. Be bitchy. No one can change your life but you. Your Mother would be proud. 5
