Seniors
Salute'
Taleisha Bowen
Staff Writer
On March 22 graduating
seniors entered Boren
lounge to prepare for the final
event of their college careers:
graduation.
Senior Salute is an annual
event in which seniors order
their caps and gowns and
address various problems that
can make graduation - or
graduating - difficult.
This was the first year the
event culminated in a Senior
Dinner. Free to seniors and
the professors who taught
FYE classes in Fall 2001,
when most of the graduating
class entered Guilford, it was
a chance for seniors to reflect
on the pending changes to
their lives.
Organized by the Senior
Celebration Committee, the
dinner was also an opportuni
ty for seniors to reconnect
with one another in anticipa
tion of graduation. The com
mittee (consisting of staff
members Scott Pierce
Coleman, Karrie Opaleski,
Emily Schmidt, Sandy
Bowles, Aaron Fetrow, Nancy
Riemer, and Blaine Lukkar)
labeled tables so that seniors
could sit with their FYE class
members, some of whom had
not seen each other since the
end of their first semesters at
Guilford.
Rex Adelberger and John
Stoneburner, faculty members
who will be "retiring" though
teaching part-time after this
academic year, spoke during
the dinner.
"Life is a lot like wine,"

Both men are
Guilford teachers as
part of the Munich
study abroad program.
Lehmann teaches his
tory while Brux has
taught several subjects,
ranging from philoso
phy to history to politi
cal science. Brux has
also served as the resi
dent director for the
program two times.
Lehmann spoke first
in a lecture given
March 21 in the Gallery.
In that lecture, he
described the work he
is doing to uncover the
past and the resistance
he is meeting by doing
Kathryn Schmidt, arranged for Gandy to come to
Guilford. On March 24 she spoke about the history
of the women's rights movement and participate in
a pre-speech rally.
"It was really simple. First I e-mailed Kim
Gandy to come speak to Guilford," said
Marks. "She responded with enthusiasm
and came (here) free of charge."
"It was an honor to come to Guilford
College," said Gandy via e-mail. "I forgot to
mention (in the speech) that my husband,
Kip Lornell, went to Guilford. He lived in
MHner hall and was the station manager for
WQFS."
The demonstration began at 5 p.m. in
front of Dana auditorium with Gandy
speaking briefly to the crowd about repro
ductive rights.
Participants marched to the corner of
Friendly Ave. and Guilford College Rd
holding pro-choice and pro-equality signs.
First-year Katie Yow led the group in
chants like: "Gay, straight, black, white.
Marriage is a civil right," and "Keep abor
tion legal."
"I think the rally had a lot of great ener
gy," said Schmidt. "Katie Yow was going
wild. She was so enthusiastic."

"Whoever tries to
dredge up the history
of National Socialism
on the local level," he
began "will, even today,
almost inevitably be
confronted with resist
ance, obstacles, reject
ing attitudes of witness
es, and sometimes
even with open hostili
ty."
Using students from
his history classes as
research assistants,
Lehmann overcame
being repeatedly
denied access to city
archives that contained
information about slave
workers at the local
chemical factory.
The mayor refused
access several times
before a court ruled it
must be granted.
"My students learned
that on the local level
there are still powerful
interests at work that
try to prevent a reap
praisal of the history of
National Socialism,"
Lehmann said. "But
they also learned not to
give in so easily and to
fight for something they
believed in."
Lehman's work
helped to raise aware
