Is Being Planned by
New Athletic Head
Announcement Made
After Long Wait
On Saturday, April 1(i, formal an
nouncement was made concerning
Edward Teague's appointment as
tiie new athletic director and foot
ball coach of Guilford College. This
announcement terminated a waiting
period on the part of Guilford stu
dents, faculty, and alumni which
liegan last winter when Williams
"Doc" Newton announced his inten
tions of resigning from this i>ost.
Teague's appointment was no sur
prise to Guilford students, though
it, was known that various applica
tions were submitted for the posi
tion, and various names were men
tioned in collection with the job.
The fact that Teague was the strong
favorite among the student body,
faculty, and closely associated alum
ni is attributed largely to his suc
cess in building one of the finest
small college intramural programs
in the South.
Coach Teague's appointment as
athletic head is effective immedi
ately, and already plans are in prog
ress for a new era of sports at ln iI -
ford College.

Mr. Iliram 11. Hilty, Guilford

Board of Missions.
After the meeting and a discus
sion between himself. Dr. .Tones,
president of Earlham College, and
Mr. William Biddle, Earlham soci
ology department head, Mr. Hilt.v
learned that the previous plans for
his Cuban work camp were some
what altered.
Whereas before, the students of
Guilford would have participated
in the Cuban work camp at Gibara,
there will now lie a different work
camp for gjrl students of Guilford
and Karlham in Jamaica.
"The reason for this," said Mr.
Hilty, "is that the work camp in
Gibara wil require some manual
labor on the part of the girls. This
practice is frowned upon in Cuba,
while in Jamaica it is considered
perfectly in order."
