G. I.'s Report to Guilford
For Active College Duty
Since Guilford campus has been re
leasing men for a little over three
years, and has tried very hard to be
patriotic for this length of time, I'ncle
Sain finally caught on and is being
a little patriotic himself! By creating
the G. I. Itill of Rights, he has re
leased one girl and sixteen men to us.
They are Margret E. Goode, Charles
W. At wood, Marion (J. Barbee, Newell

Branson, Douglas S. DicUers.cn, Gray
Fulk, J. D. Garner, Boyce Hlnshaw,
John It. Hoiden, Millard Hurley, Kob
ert I.ee Kinch, Joseph W. Lasle.v, Jos
eph A. Mathews, Thomas G. O'Brlant,
and Henry L. Wolfe.
These veterans have seen service far
and wide, and now that they've done
their share in bringing us peace once
again, we want to welcome them here
and hope we can help them to enjoy
campus life. Their exiteriences have
been numerous and varied; their trav
els, perilous and risky.
For instance, take WAC Margret
Goode. In the Aero. Transportation
Corps, she participated in evacuation

College Gels Carnegie
Music, Art Collections
Dr. Curt Victorius Speaks
On Value of Music Set;
Art Collections To Arrive
The Carnegie Foundation presented
to Guilford College an extensive col
lection of music. Included in the set
are 628 records, a Magna Vox cabinet
and a catalog. Music composed as
early as 1450 by Du Prez and gome
as recently as 1940 by Copeland dem
onstrates the completeness and value
of such a collection as a source of
research.
Guiifordians were formally intro
duced to the music collection at Me
morial Hall on Friday, September 21,
by Dr. Victorius. He spoke of the
importance of this set in regard to
the cultural research courses, and also
of the enjoyment and relaxation it
will afford the individual.
The Carnegie Foundation has in
formed Dr. Milner that the Carnegie
Art Collection has also been presented
to Guilford College.
Both collections are being received
on a cooperative basis, the Carnegie
Foundation paying $1,500 nnd Guil
ford paying $1,500. The music col
lection is valued at SI,OOO, and the
art collection at $2,000,
A testimony of the faith which the
Carnegie Foundation has placed in
Guilford's porgram of education was
manifested in this fine gift. It will
enrich and give to the student a deep
er appreciation and understanding of
the fine arts.
On October 20, Home-Coming Day,
the music collection, and possibly the
art collection, if it has arrived, will
be on exhibition in the college library.

Ambitious Students Tackle
Worthwhile Summer Jobs
After school ended lust spring, many
Guilfordlans ventured forth into the
world of business; that is, some ven
tured, and some adventured. This
latter type can be represented by
M. J. Martin, who became a blonde
waitress at Cape May, New Jersey.
Having been an infant prodigy and
still a bright child, she quickly mas
tered the art of "hovering," the tech
nique of which consists of standing
behind the diner (a little to the left),
with a hungry look, a nudging arm,
and a sweet smile, all calculated to
aid the customer in tipping. Though
proficient in this field, M. J. shudders
to recall the day she let a poached
egg slip off the plate into a man's
upturned, enger face.
A little less dramatic, but none the
less exciting, was Iris Beville's posi
