Living in a foreign country for nearly four months proved to be an experience that none could forget. How could they forget missing their S-Bahns and U-Bahns to classes, following Diet- er Kuehnel two miles to wherever he Glad to be on the right side of the Berlin Wall are Lois Haas, .Jeannine August, Sarah Anne Stark, Ellis Hunt, Lauren Wood, Lisa Fickenscher, Adrian Watts, and Andrea Wiener. Delicious beer is what everyone wanted after hiking up to Kloster Andechs, a monastery which makes beer. Tom Hill, Youseef Elias. Tom Glesne, Grant Reed, Mark Wagner, Art Lynn, Mike .Jeglinski.

There was much to be learned, ex- perienced, and enjoyed as they lived with the good and the bad families and met others at pubs, discos, parties, Amerika Haus outings, Oktoberfest, and just traveling around Europe. However, the semester was more than just fun; its purpose was to study overseas, and that is what the partici- pants did. Most days of the week were centered around the classes: German History, European Art, German Poll. Sci., Physics, and German. When they weren ' t in classes, they were in little Bavarian restaurant-bars, like the Wurst Kugl, practicing their German with the waitress. Occasionally, one could find Dr. Koerner, the history pro- fessor, there along with some of his stu- dents. Or perhaps Hajo Bopst, the Ger- man profressor, would be leading his students on outings to see Metropolis or to eat Chinese food. Dr. Dieter Kueh- nel led them as far as Florence in his never-ending crusade to show every church in Europe. And there are at least two of the group who won ' t forget the political science teacher and his girl friend, because of the quick skiing les- sons that Gerhardt and Irene gave them at 900 feet in a snowstorm. The semes- ter faculty leader, Dr. Rex Adelberger, was a welcome sight every Thursday when the weekly stipend was given. Rex also arranged tours at Munich ' s BMW plant and Loeuenbrau plant as well as leading a fall break Berlin semi- nsir through East Germany. And Dr. Karl Fischer and Amerika Haus led Guilford students on hikes to Breiten- stein and Andechs monastery and trips to Neuschwanstein castle on upper Ba- varia. But, more than the group activities that were enjoyed by all, the semester became a collection of personal exper- iences in Europe, with everyone in- volved in their own activities. And someone was always telling someone else about what kind of hairstyle they had seen on the S-Bahn or about the political rally on the newly discovered restaurant or who they had met on a weekend trip. So, here ' s to Germany and all the fun that was had and things that were experienced there. The following students participated in the program: Jeannine August, Ed Callicott, Neil Cooper, Youseef Elias, Lisa Fickenscher, Mike Gatton, Thom- as Glesne, Lois Haas, Tom Hill, Julia Ellis Hunt, Mike Jeglinski, Mike Lopez, Michele Lynch, Art Lynn, Jessica Mar- lin, Joellyn McCracken, Tom O ' Con- nell, Susan Price, Grant Reed, Todd Reitzel, Todd Semke, Steve Slaton, Ste- phen Spaulding, Sarah Anne Stark, Perry Teague, David Toll, Mark Wag- ner, Adrian Watts, Andrea Wiener, Andy Wise and Lauren Wood.

Who do we go to class with each day? Who enhances our perspectives? Who challenges our ability and often sparks our achievements? Who determines our fate at the end of each semes- ter? Teachers! College professors are a blend of intellect, high de- mands, experience, and achieve- ment that serve to frighten, chal- lenge, and create an incentive for student accomplishment. And at least at Guilford, teachers are people too. At this institution many teachers prefer to be called by their first name whether by col- leagues or students. Some profes- sors have even been known to frequent the cafeteria and grill room, side by side with their pu- pils. And further more a few fac- ulty and administrative personel have exhibited characteristics of- ten only attributed to the stu- dents of a college. For example examine the photographs in this section of Dr. William Fulcher (Biology) who is in full Peter Pan attire for a halloween party in London. Or that of Dr. Sheri- dan Simons (Physics) who has gotten all dressed up for the stu- dent talent show. And don ' t miss the behavior of Dr. Robert Wil- liams (Economics) or Dr. Rich- ard Zweigenhaft (Psychology). Faculty — we learn from them and sometimes admire them, but. deep down underneath all those degrees and titles we know they ' re people too. To further magnify this, this section is employing a unique element besides the customary faculty photograph. Cartoon caricatures accompany each pho- tograph in order to better por- tray some of the personalities of these individuals that we have come to know. At times exagger- atting certain characteristics, these drawings have been done with the utmost taste to greater reflect the human side of each professor that one photograph may not be able to convey. Hope- fully by this method we may bet- ter remember the difference professors make. MAKING THE DIFFERENCE
