The college administration and board of directors announced that Governor Sarah Palin, the long-believed-dead Elvis Presley, singer Rick Roll, and talk show host Rush Limbaugh will speak during the 2009-2010 Bryan Series.

The speakers were announced on Mar. 23. The interest escalated to such intensity that the administration contacted the Greensboro Coliseum and negotiated a new contract that includes the Coliseum arena rather than the smaller War Memorial Auditorium.

In a phone interview, Palin said, "I am so very excited to have the opportunity to speak at such a prestigious event and I absolutely, positively, without a doubt expect this to be such a maverick event."

Scheduled to open the series on Sept. 28, Palin's presentation will include personal photos from Alaska.

"These pictures will in fact prove that I can see Russia from my house," said Palin.

After Palin, Presley will follow on Nov. 12 and the rumor floating around campus is that this will not be a ghost appearance.

Presley's death was announced in 1977, but many suspect that this was staged.

According to President Kent Chabotar, Presley initially contacted the Forevergreen club.

"Presley was impressed with their strong involvement in environmental issues," said Chabotar. "After being underground for 30 years, Presley sees the negative affects to the environment and wants to be part of the change."

As part of his campaign for a greener earth, he has agreed to make his debut as part of the Guilford Bryan Series.

He will not be performing musically that night due to a chronic rasp that developed within the last few years.

Although Presley is not able to sing, Rick Roll will speak and perform on Jan. 20.

Roll stated that he believed in Guilford's community values and said, "I'm never going to give you up. I'm never going to desert you."

Roll said, "I'm excited about the invitation and I promise not to let you down."

"These pictures will in fact prove that I can see Russia from my house," - it's amazing, maybe he can visit Russia by passing the sea?)
