One of the traditions of the season is the Holiday Fun Night in the Hut sponsored by GCRO, the campus interfaith council. This year it will be held Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. Bowing to Quaker tradition, there will be no festive decorations, but there will be a festive atmosphere!
By a crackling fire, fueled by hot cocoa and s’mores, the gathered celebrants will share fun quizzes about the various December religious and cultural festivals. Schlocky prizes from a local Bible book store will be given out, and folks will even learn a thing or three about the season’s holidays.
All are welcome.

JOHN BOWLES, father of Health and Gender Issues Coordinator SANDY BOWLES, was an eyewitness to the events of Dec. 7, 1941, in Hawaii. He will share his own story and excerpts from his book, The Day Our World Changed, at a tea and discussion in the Hut Dec. 7 at 4 p.m. The talk is sponsored by the Campus Ministry Office.
Bowles’ book collects the adult reflections of his classmates in Hawaii, all of whom were six to eight year-olds at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He was amazed by the differences in style and content of the contributions; although the stories are of the same historical event, they reveal a wide range of personal feelings and experiences.

Will it snow in December? Some local weathercasters have predicted wintry weather before classes end for winter break. To be prepared, students and employees are encouraged to review the revised Weather Emergency Policy at http://www.guilford.edu/campus/index.cfm?ID=800000610.
A “weather emergency” occurs when Guilford College declares that local weather conditions prevent employees and students from traveling to or traversing the campus in order to work or attend classes. These conditions include heavy snow and ice that make roadways and walkways impassable as well as dangerous wind, rain and other conditions related to tornadoes, hurricanes and other extreme weather events. These conditions do not include occasional snow and ice.
