Two Students Travel Nearly 10,000 Miles
To Enroll for the 111 th Year of Guilford
By ADRIAN BRODEUR
Some students complain when they have to go two or three
miles to school, but two Guilford College students have come
9,500 miles to attend the 111 th year of the Quaker college.
The two foreign students, Miss'
Gertrude "Tuddie" Scliwachtgen, of
Luxembourg, and Adli A. Alliss, of
Birch, Itamallah, Palestine, ex
pressed little concern over the dis
tance traveled to attend Guilford.
It was the first ocean voyage for
both, although Alliss's father had
been to America several times.
Miss Schwachtgen heard about
Guilford College through her sis
ter's American fiance. Interested in
chemistry and the sciences, she plans
to return to Luxembourg and teach
school. She has already had one
year of college training in that city.
Vastness Amazes Her
When asked what impressed her
the most on her arrival in the
States, she replied, "It certainly
wasn't the Statue of Liberty: but
rather the skyline of Manhattan."
She said that, in Europe all the vil
lages are grouped' together, while
here In America everything is spread
out. "The vastness of your country
amazes me," she stated.
In contrast to Alliss, who bad
never seen or felt the devastating
effects of the war. Miss Scbwacht
gen was in the middle of it. Her
eyes were tilled with tears when
she said the people of Luxembourg
have adopted the graves of Ameri
can dead buried in that city. "Each
Sunday," she said, "we go to the
American cemetery and place flow
ers 011 the graves of soldiers we
have adopted. It is a very small
deed for the price paid by those
men in giving Luxembourg its free
dom."
Alliss had his first glimpses of
the effects of war when be visited
Athens on his way to America.
Short in stature and dark in fea
tures, Alliss has already expressed
the desire to join the campus inter
national relations cllib with his for
eign companion. Alliss is majoring
in physics with the intention of be
coming a mechanical engineer and
working for the Palestinian Gov
ernment.
•I. Floyd Moore, Guilford's public
relations director, now teaching at
the Friends School in Riunallah,
told Alliss about Guilford and aided
him in making the necessary ar
rangements. Alliss graduated and
taught at this same school where
Moore and his wife are now work
ing.
Alliss, oldest of four children,
said the farther south he went Irom
New York the friendlier the people
became. "Greensboro and Guilford
College people have been most kind
and helpful to me —especially when
1 get lost," be said.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., SEPTEMBER 26, ISM 7
THE 1947 QUAKER FOOTBALL SQUAD
Democracy Is Theme
Of I. R. (. Meeting
"Democracy is a method of gov
ernment, and a method only," assert
ed Mr. Carroll Feagins as he at
tempted to bring out the distinction
between democracy and a unit of
government, when lie addressed the
first meeting of the International
Relations Club which was held last
Friday night in the hut.
Mr. Feagins assured his listeners
that a carefully constructed defini
tion of democracy would augment
their activities throughout the year.
In connection with this he pointed
out that, "willingness to abide by
the consent of the majority" is a
tremendous factor in democratic
proceedings. A failure to do this is
apparent in world affairs as they
stand today. While explaining his
definition of damoeracy Mr. Feagins
conceded that the ideas about which
many people believe in are wrong
because democracy itself is con
stantly changing those ideas. In the
course of his talk Mr. Feagins
challenged his listeners to be demo
cratic with other peoples of the
world, not democratic with the gov
ernments of those people. In further
ance of this idea he said, "demo
cracy holds peoples together, not
governments."
T'pon the culmination of his talk
Mr. Feagins left the question: "Do
you believe in democracyV" to lie
pondered over the members of the
MX'. Later a heated debate over
the activities of democracy was
enacted and Mr. Feagins again took
the floor.
At the beginning of the first meet
ing of the IRC. President David
iladley quickly disposed of all busi
ness. Marianne Victorins, vice
president of the club was chosen to
serve as chairman of the publicity
committee. It was decided that
several other matters of lessor im
portance would he left until the
next meeting which will be held
Friday, October.
In a short, address, Iladley an
nounced that the IRC is a relatively
new organization, hut he expressed
his desire to make it a more effec
tive one. He invited new members
to take an active part and aid in
tliis.
NOTICE
Veterans studying full time
in colleges and universities
under the GI Bill will no longer
have to make periodic reports
of earnings. The estimate made
at the time of registration will
he effective for the full period
of enrollment.
O
Students have volunteered to
let the faculty he tlrst in line to
all meals. Faculty members are
requested to be in line before
the doors open; they may go in
however, and be seated before
the doors are opened. Co-opera
tion of students and faculty is
requested.
Registration Hits New
All-Time Record
Guilford's enrollment continued on
its post-war high as 58!) students
registered for cases first semester.
Miss Era Lasley's bureau of vital
statistics says that there are 181
freshman, and 31 •transfer students.
Good news for the girls in the news
that the ratio of men to wouien
stands at almost 4 to 1. in round
numbers 430 men and 153 women.
To speed up the process of regis
tration, the college made use of a
new system this year. I'pperclass
men who had been invited back to
help with Freshmen Week reported
back the day before the freshmen
were scheduled to arrive to receive
their instructions. When the fresh
men arived, the upperclasmen were
there to help them get settled, ex
plain the whys and wherefores of
college life to those who wanted to
know, and put all new students in
their proper sections, according to
their abilities.
When the upperclassmen arrived,
several days later, the freshmen
were settled, and beginning to feel
at home. Sophomores, juniors, and
seniors registered for their classes
with their major professor in the
gym. This year, for the first time,
they were subject to the fancies of
a man with a camera, before proceed
ing to the formal process of class
registration. After deciding on the
course of study for the coming
semester, a matriculation card was
sent over to Mem Hall. The student
went, over to Mem, collected his
card from the enormous pile there
and stood in line to pay the treas
urer. This completed, he was re
gistered as a student at Guilford
College.
The whole process of registration
and matriculation took only an hour.
While this appeared to lie a long

Quakers Lose Opener
To Appalachian Team
The rains came in the fourth
quarter of the Quakers 1047 foot
hall debut against the Appalachian
Mountaineers at Bowman Gray Sta
dium last Saturday. The showers not
only dampened Guilford roosters,
hut also brought with them a tor
rent of Appalachian points, which
were enough to drown the Quaker's
initial start of the season to the
tune of 23-13. It was also the opener
of the season for the victorious
Apps.
TTp until the last period the Guil
fordians were doing fairly well for
themselves. After the second play of
the game, which saw Bob Gordon
romp a sensational 82 yards off
tackle for a touchdown, it appeared
as if the Quakers were going on to
an easy victory; however events
were to prove otherwise. Still In the
first quarter, the Mountaineers cash
ed in on a fumble by Joe Winner,
which was caused by a high pass
from the center. Buddy Brooks
pounced on the loose ball for Appala
chian on the Quaker 30. Six plays
later Marion Hoffman drove over
the first touchdown for the Black
and Gold from the three yard line,
thereby tying it at 0-0, the score re
maining that way when the conver
sion for the extra point failed.
The next two quarters were nip
and tuck all the way, with both
teams threatening several times only
to fail in the crucial moments. In
the last stanza the boys from Boone
suddenly took the initiative, and
forged ahead by placing a much dis
puted field goal between the up
rights from the 17 yard line. This
made it temporarily 9-0. Another
six points was added to the visitor's
score a few minutes later, when
Pete Mills, apparently trapped by a
host of red jerseys cleverly maneu
vered himself into the open, and ran
back a Guilford punt 71 yards. The
score now stood at 10-0 as the con
version was good.
The Apps continued to roll as they
recovered a Quaker fumble on the
kick off. Taking the ball on the 33
yard line they drove to another
tally a few minutes later and made
it 23-0 when the extra try was good.
| The Guilfnrdians proved they had
not given up hope, when A 1 Johns
hit Bob Gordon with a 41 yard
chuck in the closing minutes of play
to score the final T. D. of the game,
and made the score 23-13 when Bill
Teague successfully split the up
rights with his extra point attempt.
This week will find the Quakers
looking to bounce into the win
column for this year as they tangle
with Emory and Henry in the
latter's own back yard at Bristol,
Virginia.
NUMBER 1
Faculty Is Increased
By 10 To (ope With
Large Enrollment
This year, as every year, brings
changes to Guilford College. This
being 110 exception and considering
the new countenances which con
front ns as we go about the campus
on our various duties and to classes,
we think the time appropriate to
roll out the welcome mat to the new
members of the faculty and staff to
better acquaint and to promote a
closer bond between the newcomers
and the students.
Probably the newest face on cam
pus in that of Dr. Mona Wilheim,
Assistant Professor of Spanish and
French. She somes here from France
where she has been teaching lan
guages since 1933. Prior to her
teaching, she studied French, Eng
lish, and Philosophy at the Univer
sities of Geneva, Munich, Paris, and
Giessen. She received her doctor's
degree from Giessen in 1932. Dr.
Wilheim is married ; her husband,
an artist of international repute.
Already known to most of us is
W. Ivan Hoy, Assistant professor of
Bible. He received his A.B. degree
at Hampton Sidny College in Vir
ginia. Then he taught and directed
athletics at Monterrey High School
in Virginia. From Monterrey he
accepted the position of Assistant
principal at Virgilina High School,
also in Virginia after which he re
sumed his schooling, this time at
the Union Theological Seminary of
Richmond where he got his B. D.
degree. Following this he served as a
Navy Chaplain, achieving the rank
of Lieutenant Commander. After
his time in the Navy he taught at
Presbyterian Junior College as
assistant professor of Bible. He then
served as pastor for three months
at Dillon, South Carolina before
coming to Guilford. Sir. Hoy has
already completed his arrangements
to study for his doctorate at the
University of Edinburgh in Scot
land. The evident high mentality of
Mr. Hoy is seemingly handed down
to his daughter who has already
started to college at the tender age
of nine months. Her presence in
Founders Hall has added a homey
touch uncommon to most college
dorms.
Betty Jo Miller is tli€ assistant
librarian. Her home is in West
Minister and she is a graduate of
Limestone College of Gaffney, S. C.,
where she worked in the library last
year. She comes to us from Emory
i'niversity of Atlanta where she took
work in library science this past
summer.
Dr. Elfreida Frank has joined the
college faculty as assistant professor
of clasical languages and German.
She has taught in American col
leges for six years. She holds her
doctors degree from the University
of Milan, Italy, and her masters
degree from Bryn Mawr where she
plans to receive her second doctorate
soon.
