POTTERY EXHIBIT SHOWS HOW
THE SKILLS OF A TEACHER ARE
PASSED ON AND ELABORATED IN
THEIR PUPIL’S ARTWORK

Passers-by in Hege
Library may catch a
glimpse out of the cor
ner of their eye, full
of color and form. Art
lecturer Charlie Tefft,
along with Curator
Kelsey McMillan, has
organized the "From
One Hand to Another"
ceramics show in the art
gallery.
"I wanted to show
students that there is a
wide range of ceram
ics out there being pro
duced," Tefft said, "and
that making good work
is not dependent on a
certain clay, a certain
type of kiln, or being
in a certain part of the
United States."
Tefft selected nine
potters, each of whom
chose one of their stu
dents to exhibit work as
well. The influence that
mentors shed on their
apprentices is apparent
in the students' work.
The relationship
between mentor and
student varies widely.
In some cases, appren
tices are working on
all levels of the process
— firing, collecting clay.
and keeping the studio
running, while inten
sively studying the
instructor's method.
In a college atmo
sphere, the student is
more encouraged to
find his or her own sty
listic form.
"The individu
al aspect of it is very
important in univer
sities, whereas, in the
apprenticeship (cele
brated local potter) Mark
Hewitt runs ... you are
learning through him,"
Tefft said.

College presidents call for a
re-evaluation of drinking laws
By Landry Haarmann
Staff Writer
The Amethyst Initiative, a group
pushing for national discourse re
garding the drinking age, began
operating only within the last year
but has already garnered support
from over 100 college presidents.
Presidents at schools such
Duke, Middlebury and Dartmouth
signed a national petition calling on
lawmakers to "rethink the drinking
age," with hopes of encouraging a
national discussion.
The 126 signatories do not ask
outright for a lower drinking age.
See "Amethyst
Initiative” on page 4
A 2003 study by the journal of the American Medical Association revealed
that young adults aged 21 to 25 years and underage drinkers aged 18 to 20
years had the highest rates of binge-drinking episodes of any age group.
Women’s volleyball to play rival Peace College in home opener

Revenge will be the
name of the game when
Guilford's volleyball team
faces their archrival Peace
College in the first home
game of the year on Sept.
3.
"We beat them on their
senior night, so they're
looking for some revenge,"
said junior Bethany Hawks.
"We need to start out strong
and end strong."
The players for Peace
won't be the only ones
looking forward to the
match. "Peace is one of
those schools that we've
been so competitive with
that our team gets really
pumped up," said Head
Coach Emily Gann.
In 2006, Guilford lost
both of their matches
against Peace. However,
last year, Guilford sougfit
revenge by beating Peace
twice. Those wins were
two of only seven victories
in 27 games. Additionalfy,
the team lost nine out of
ten conference matches.-^
Their bleak season left
much to be desired for.
"I've tried to get it out of
my head, put it all behind
me, start a fresh, clean
year," Hawks said.
"Our team dynamic is
different," Gann said. The
team lost three players
over the summer, one to
graduation and two to inju
ries; therefore, they had to
bring in a large first-year
class. With so many new
/players, the challenge is to
/ improve communication
and teamwork.
"We all get along great.
