PROPOSED BUDGET
FOR NEXT YEAR
PASSED BY BOARD
Students Will Be Given Chance
To Accept Or Reject Budget
In Chapel Monday.
SEVERAL CHANGES MADE
Has Received Ollicial Endorsement of
Representatives of Each Student
Organization.
After definite assurance had been
given to one of the members of the
senior class that "the appropriations
to the junior and sophomore classes
will be used on the entertainment of
freshmen and seniors," the Budget
Committee of the Student Affairs Board
in a meeting last Tuesday night de
cided unanimously in favor of the
proposed budget for 11139-40 as listed
on the hack page of today's Guilford
ian. Concensus of Budget Committee
opinion seemed to be summed up as:
"If they don't fuss about it, it's
okay."
It was pointed out that although
the Women's Student Government or
ganization has been denied its request
for thirty dollars, the group will, if
the students accept the budget, re
ceive more than twice the amount
asked because of a provision to the
effect that its accumulated unspent
balance be made available to it for
use in the coming year. This pro
vision. if favorably passed upon by
the student body, will enable the Wo
men's Student Government and eight
other organizations to have access to
previously unused funds totaling
$393.35.
The additional allotment to the
"Quaker" and the recommendation for
special dispensation of funds to the
Dramatic Council and the Women's
Athletic Association were approved
without comment at the called meet
ing of the Student Affairs Board.

Sociological Field Plowed
For Budding Aspirants
By JAMES PARKER
His grey eyes jabbing into the land- j
scape with almost bird-like deftness, I
Dr. Hornell Hart of Duke University j
repeated: "There are a great many so
ciologists who are merely social philo
sophers. The use for them is decreas
ing."
Earlier Dr. Hart told his interviewer
that the towering ingredient in the
making of a modern sociologist is "an j
intense interest in human relations
plus an appetite for facts." According
to the distinguished leader of Guilford's
Spiritual Emphasis Week the future
sociologist must cultivate a sound study
of social phenomena through such!
methods as case studies and scientifi
cally gathered statistics. He must be
practical, objective.
"There is a need to study primitive
societies and other cultures—other peo
ple. It saves us from being too pro
vincial," Sociologist Hart clipped in his
steady voice.

place of social science in the present
Suiter Household
Heir Conditioned
Despite the departure of one of
(he faculty members for Switzer
land. the stability of the Guilford
college population was maintained
by the advent of a newcomer in
the person of Christopher Alan
Suiter, present age 11 days. The
new arrival will make his home
permanently with Professor and
Mrs. W. O. Suiter. His appearance
on the campus was heralded as
follows by his host and hostess;

The Suiters
I world set-up Dr. Hart takes the view
| that it should not center upon abstract
j forms in the human relationship but
j should broaden into a wide sociological
| interest in the practical social forms,
j Practical problems, according to this
leader, sharpen up halting methods and
aid in providing possible solutions to
| tlie questions involved.
In the maze of modern youth the
most often encountered questions de
manding solution are four: courtship
and marriage; the relation of youth to
the older generation (of young people
to their parents) ; the economic press
iof finding a job; and the eternal ques
tion, "What's life all about?"
Making sweeping statements is not a
habit of this writer and lecturer, but
there are. Dr. Hart believes, answers
to all of these imposing queries. These
answers, however, are not patent; they
can only lie worked out progressively.
I.oomiiig above all other approaches
in importance is the facing of reality.

GEORGE M. COHAN'S
"THE TAVERN" IS
CHOSEN BY GROUP
Try-Outs for Parts to Be Held
Next Monday Night for
Mystery Comedy.
FOURTEEN "PARTS OPEN
Melodramatic Comedy Wins Acclaim
Over Blood-Curdling "Ilracula"
First Suggested.
In a recent session the Dramatic
Council chose George M. Cohan's melo
dramatic classic, "The Tavern," for
its annual spring production scheduled
for Saturday night, March 18. Try
outs for the Simon-Legree epic will
be held Monday night, February 13,
at 7:30, decreed the council, which
urged that all and sundry report then
to exhibit such talents as they pos
sess. Director R. K. Marshall said
that there were 14 speaking parts,
nine of which are majors.
The blood-curdling "Dracula" was
rejected by the council in favor of
the Cohan comedy, which lias been in
successful revival almost continuous
ly, by both professional and amateur
groups, since its Broadway stage suc
cess iu lH2t>. This heavy comedy of
villains, heroes, mystery, screams, pis
tols. last-minute rescues, and all that
melodramas imply, will be a new type
of play on the Guilford stage since
Director Marshall's advent here two
years ago, President T. Taylor pointed
out to the Guilfordian reporter.

Bulletin!
Social consciousness reared its blush
ing head Thursday night as fifty celi
bate Guilfordians did an abrupt about
face and decided to "Do Somefhing
About It." Already in a rut from
Pleasant's-ly acquired betrothals and
fired to a fever pitch by Y Cabinet
propaganda, an overflow mob at the
Student Hut churned (lie usually pla
cid social whirl info foam with the
appointment of a Sadie Hawkins Week
committee, an Outdoor Entertainment
Committee, a Day Student Entertain
ment Committee, and a Present Danc
ing Situation Committee. If flic de
mand is sulliciciit flic Guilfordian will
publish a "L'il Abner Handbook of
Escapes" for (be benefit of bashful
males.
