The concensus of opinion is that we should have more of a com munity government. Maggie has also looked into the student, governments at Swnrtlimore, Antioeli, and Talledega Colleges, and after comparing their governments, she will attempt to set up a perfect system for Guilford. Catherine I'earson is tackling a broader horizon with "The Monroe Doctrine as it is Related to the I'an- Anierican I'nion."

Seniors In Armed Forces To Graduate Knobby Blair, Bob McNeely, Sam Price, John Downing To Prepare For Degrees At M special faculty meeting this week, the faculty declared that they were willing to cooperate with those students having senior rating who have been drafted or called 111 the Reserves, in working out an indi vidual program for each one ena bling him to complete the requirements for graduation without necessitating his return to college. The purpose is to enable those seniors who lack only a few hours required for graduation, to receive their diplomas. As each student with senior rating is forced to leave, his problem will lie taken up by the faculty. Four seniors were among the E.R.C. men who were called this week. They are Sam Price and Knobby Blair, who are history majors; John Downing, an English major: and Itohprt McNeely, an economics major. Chapel Schedule Monday, .March 22—Dr. Harvey \. Uiung.
