VOLUME LI

Kauffman, Bregard Praisedby Dennis Abramowitz

The Guilford College Quakers are now coming down the homestretch in real fine form. Presently the Quakers are sporting a 19-3overall record and proclaiming first place in the Carolinas conference.In their last three encounters Guilford won two and lost one. The two

wins came over Appalachian and Belmont Abby. The loss was a

hard one to take, losing by two points in the last few seconds to

Western Carolina at Western.The Quakes have a very good chance to win district title again.

This opportunity is due to the fine all-round play of both the startingfive and our bench. But there is one player who has not scored a wholelot this year. He deserves recognition for his ball handling duties, thathe has taken over so well, and the amazing amount of assists he hascompiled. The ball player I am talking about is Bob Bregard.

Coach Jerry Steele of the Guilford College basketball Quakerssays that "There are a lot of good basketball players over the country,but there aren't that many winners."

A "winner," according to Coach Steele, "Is a performer who willpay the necessary price to acquire the necessary skills, condition, andattitude for winning basketball night after night. He must also paythe price for becoming a good student and citizen off the court."

The tall coach says that he has awinner in Bob Bregard. Bregard,son of Mrs. Agnes Bregard, 1909West Genesee St., Syracuse, NewYork; is playing his second yearwith Steele's Quakers, is averaging13.8 points per game, has pulleddown 52 rebounds, and has afantastic 140 assists in 17 games.

"Last year Bob came to us, andwe were wary about his defense.He had played in offense orientedbasketball, and we knew his shoot-ing and driving were impressive.Also, he has that rare passingskill in that he can pass with aflick of the wrist without extend-ing his arms. He fools the de-fense, and this helps us set upour scoring plays." In our gamelast year, he had eleven assists!

Steele remembers that he expect-ed Bob to come around on de-fense enough to play his sopho-more year, and that he told theSyracuse lad that to play for himhe had to learn defense. Bregard'sanswer: "I'll start for you thisyear, Coach." Says Jerry Steele:"1 told him 1 didn't believe it, buthe did."

He was the lone freshman onthe Quaker team, which advancedto the NAIA finals in Kansas Citylast March. The team won theNAIA District 26 title by defeat-ing defending champion HighPoint, on the wings oi a fantastic29 point scoring eitort by Bregard.

"Of couse Bob has good nights,and they usually come in the biggames but he comes throughwith consistent good games everynight . . . the mark of a winner.'

The Guilford Coach notes thatBregard's passing skill is perhapshis best asset, in spite of his scor-ing ability: "There are a heck ofa lot more good shooters thangood passers around."

"Bob is not the natural athlete.He has acquired his skills by work-ing the hardest of any athlete 1have ever coached. He has a lot tolearn yet, and we are hoping hewillgrow in leadership and otherphases of the game. He can be-come a great one. He's my type,

Bob Bregard

and you can quote me."Jerry Steele, in his fifth year

as Quaker basketball Coach,played his basketball at WakeForest with the great Horace"Bone s" McKinney. McKinney,through his friend Paul Seymour,recommended Bregard to Steele."If Mr. Seymour knows of somemore Bob Bregards, and will callme collect, I won't invite themdown for a conference as I didBob. I'll just have him send themon down with their suit cases."

A fine example of Bregard'swinning attitude was his "takingover" in the late stages in theAppalachian game, when big BobKauffman and Pat Moriarty weresitting on the sidelines with fourfouls. He hit five for six field goalattempts and was credited withtwo assists in a little less thanthree minutes.

Kauffman

Guilford College basketball en-thusiasts dread thinking of theday when Bob Kauffman will not

be trotting nimbly onto the basket-ball court to do battle for CoachJerry Steele's Quakers. The 6'B",248-pound junior from Scarsdale,N.Y., seems destined to go downas the greatest basketball playerin Guilford's history.

The Quakers, enjoying their bestseason in Guilford College history,are currently 19-3; and are holdingthe top spot in the prestigiousCarolinas Conference at 14-2.They are not a one man team,

and Bob Kauffman will be thefirst to point it out. "I am playingbetter because we have a betterteam. We have strength insideand outside, and we have confi-dence in our coaches and one an-other." And, although it is oftenthe case with super stars v the*64-'6B period probably won't godown 'in Guilford basketball an-nals as the "Bob Kauffman era."Looking at the facts of accomplish-ment under difficult circumstances{|>eihaps the most outstanding

Honor AmongThieves

by Janet Ghezzi

There is a persisting rumor on

campus that an honor code has

invaded the premises. Having in-

vestigated the matter thoroughlyI have found no recognizable evi-dence to support diis fact. There-fore, it is any pleasure to inform

you that you can relax and cheat?no one would think of reporting

you.Does this seem harsh to you?

If so, stop and think. If you saw

your best friend cheating wouldyou turn him in? If not then theHonor Code is a farce ?an un-identified dying object.

It is unfortunate that the HonorCode should be reduced to sucha low level of prestige, and yet itwas inevitable. It required a cer-tain amount of conviction andstrength on the part of the indi-vidual, and such strength is not

cool with the "out' crowd. Thereis an honor among thieves whichlooks down on stool pigeons.There is a respect among wisemen for the truth. Which do youprefer, Lightfingers?

However, the students do havea point. It is not easy to turn in

a friend or an enemy for thatmatter. Silence is a habit whichis hard to break. For years, youhave been told not to rat on yourfriends. In grammar school, tattle-tales were not appreciated. Theywere told to mind their own busi-ness and not to worry about others,but this is not grammar school.Johnny's taking Susie's book isdifferent from Johnny takingSusie's grades. College should pre-pare one for the future ?for aworth-while life. An Honor Codeis an institution worthy of respect.There is nothing old fashioned oruncool about honesty. It is requiredfor order and progress. We expectpeople to be honest in their deal-ings with us, yet we won't riskanything to uphold it.

The Honor Code is not con-cerned only with cheating. It is astatement of policy which shouldaffect all areas of school life. How-ever, it is most apparent in thearea of cheating. Here is where theHonor Code really comes to thetest. In the first semester seveneases were brought before theHonor Board. Three were con-victed; four were acquitted. Nowit would be nice to think that therewere only three cases of cheatingin the first semester, but we mustface reality. It is possible but notprobable. How many cases do youknow of? Why weren't they re-ported? Perhaps they weren'tcaught, but if the Honor Codereally worked they should havereported themselves. With onlythree cases of cheating, this meansthat less dian 1 per cent of thestudent body cheats. If this is so,Guilford College is paradise-acelestial playground inhabited bysaints. " '

So, Lightfingers Louie, face thefacts. Either Guilford is heaven orsomeone is cheating on the side.The Honor Code is no farce. Theidea is there. The challenge isthere. Take it up, stand for some-thing. Don't allow group conform-ity to force you to a life of hy;pocrisy. Truth is habit-formingand worthwhile. It won't give youyou cancer, but it will give ypu aself-respect that no one can: steal,

i Pick that up, Louie.

Some of the biggest hits of theImpressions are: "People GetReady," "Gypsy Woman," "Min-strel and Queen," "Talking AboutMy Baby," and "I'm So Proud."They also have a new record out

now called "You Always Hurt Me."This will be a good show, one

you will all want to see. Saleof tickets will begin in the nearfuture at a specified location.

G. U. T. Sby Lynn Cooper

Future teachers, Sociology maj-ors, Psychology majors, and anyother students who might be in-

terested in helping to provide new

educational opportunities to manyculturally deprived children inGreensboro, try GUTS.

GUTS (The Greensboro UnitedTutorial Service) presents an op-portunity to test your own ability.If you will give just three hoursa week you may help a child finda new self-image as well as a newoutlook on life by introducing himto concepts that are different fromhis own culture but are a part ofyours. Can you instill motivationand desire for achievement in ayoung child who has never ex-perienced success? Maybe youcan find and connect die miss-ing link between our culture andhis.

Art Show"Oh God, I Don't Shoot No Alli-

gators in the Head!"This unusual apostrophe is the

title for one of the assorted art

works being displayed in the Guil-ford Library at present. The col-lection, on loan to the Fine ArtsClub from the Owen LewisGalleries of Winston-Salem, wasbrought to the campus February2 and will remain until February14.

Art Department Chairman JamesMcMillan organized the exhibit,which includes abstract paintings;sculpture; a college composition;and some indescribable, debat-able "art works." Mr. McMillancomments that (even if one canmake no sense of the collection)the works are at least "interesting."

Most of the artists are local, be-ing from the Piedmont. Amongthe modern paintings is a canvasby Mrs. Newsom Williams, wife of

\u25a0 a Guilford faculty member.

The GUTS program at Guilfordis carried out in the Smith HomesDevelopment. There are abouttwo hundred students from A&T,Bennett, and UNG-G workingin three other Federal HousingDevelopments. The tutor maychoose whether he tutors one ortwo nights a week. Transportationis provided from the circle in frontof Founders at 6:40 Monday thruThursday.

The goal of the program is tohelp the child academically andencourage a search for better op-portunities outside , those intro-duced to him within his own en-vironment.

Will you accept this challenge?If you are interested in this pro-

gram please get in contact withAngie Ferris, Founders Dormitoryor Tim Snyder, who can be con-tacted by phone at 299-4983.
