Item description

This front page article in The Guilfordian reported on a protest by female students at Guilford College regarding the Open House policy during homecoming. Describing the scene and the issue at hand, the writer quoted associate Dean Barbara Rau who, while she claimed full trust in the "girls," stated, "she still thought 'overseers' should be on hand in the dorms." This issue highlighted the continued paternalism within the college's policies; especially those aimed at "protecting" young women and are, as such, related to civil rights issues.
