"Colleges that Change Lives," the book
by the late Loren Pope which aims to help
students in their search for the right college,
will bejupdated with a neijALedUion SOQn.X2CL
March 2, the author of the new edition, Hilary
Oswald, visited campus, sat in on classes and
spoke to current students.
There is no guarantee that Guilford will
be featured in the new edition. According to
Oswald, there will still be 40 schools included
in the book, but the membership is likely to
change some.
Guilford's inclusion in the book has long
been a marketing point for the college.
"Frequently, students say they heard about
us from 'Colleges that Change Lives,'" said
Associate Director of Admissions Susan
Bagley. "I don't think there's a college in the
book that would say (being featured in the
book) hasn't been valuable."
In a Guilfordian survey of 151 students, 83
respondents said that Guilford's inclusion in
"Colleges that Change Lives" influenced their
decision to attend the college. However, the
recruitment power of "Colleges that Change
Lives" is not limited to the book itself.
"A valuable spin-off of the book is that
the colleges featured formed a group and
began touring together to spread the word,"
Bagley said about the organization Colleges
that Change Lives, which is separate from the
book.
"We find that often, people do not realize
that CTCL is a non-profit organization with
a mission that is distinct from the book," said

Hege Library was unusually noisy
on Feb. 25 with the steady ebb and flow
of professors, students and community
members partaking in the spread of
presentations and performances. The.
fourth annual Guilford Undergraduate
Symposium was underway.
Begun in 2008, the Guilford
Undergraduate Symposium (GUS) is
a venue where students from across
disciplines and majors can present
projects and theses about anything and
everything to the Guilford community.
According to Professor of Chemistry
and member of the 2011 GUS Organizing
Committee Rob Whitnell, the idea was
born after he and Associate Professor of
Biology Melanie Lee-Brown attended the
State of North Carolina Undergraduate
Research and Creativity Symposium.

Government corruption. High
unemployment rates. Escalating food
prices. Suppression of freedom. Ever
since Egypt's revolution, many countries
throughout the region have instigated
their own opposition and started their
own protests. Each country is fighting
the rebels in their own way, with some
hoping for peaceful discussions and
others with guns blazing.
Libya
Libya is in revolt. The citizens
demand the departure of their current
leader, Muammar Gaddafi. Gaddafi is
using military forces including foreign
mercenaries to suppress the rebels,
allowing them to use brute force if
necessary. According to CNN, over
2,000 people have been killed.
Despite continued pressure, Gaddafi
has not backed down. Heavy bombing
took place in Ras Lanuf in efforts to run
rebels out of the coastal town, reports
ABC News.
"It's time for liberation," Gaddafi's
son, Saif al-Islam said in an interview
