Elon Christians Whomp Quaker Gridmen
/
Entire Elon Backfield Takes Advantage
Of Quaker Errors for 33-0 Landslide
Greensboro High School Stadium, November 24.—The Guilford
College Quakers dropped a heartbreaker to the Elon Christians
today, 33-0. The goose egg hung high over 3,000 football fans in
the new Greensboro High School Stadium.
The Quakers never seemed to be able to get started. Line-play
and backfield strength wasn't up to the standard set by Eddie
Teague's team in the Appalaeh-*
ian game. Fumbles, fumbles, and
yards lost rushing told the story
of the traditional Turkey Day
classic.
The Christians got off to an early
lead in the ball game when Kill
Barger took Wally Maultsby's kick
on Guilford's 45, reversed the field
from left to right and scored for
Elon. Elon's second touchdown in
the first quarter came when Yar
borough's lateral to Hill Teague was
fumbled and recovered behind the
Guilford goal line by Joe Erickson.
Breedon blocked Reid's try for the
extra point. The score: 12-0.
Elon's third score was a piiss
play, I'ete Marshburn to Hill John
son for 17 yards and a TI). Reid
made bis first extra poim and the
Maroon and Gold led, 10-0.
Late in the first half, Marshburn
cut over his own right tackle for
another Elon touchdown. Reid's kick
was good.
The final tally was scored in the
third quarter by Frank Tingley
who took a handoff from R. K. Gray
son and skirted left end for 16
yards. Reid's point was good and
the score wtas 33-0.
In keeping Guilford scoreless in
this final game, Elon took fhe North
State Conference defensive honors.
They held Guilford to a 16-yard
rushing mark by throwing the Quak
er backs for a total of 82 yards lost
rushing.
Special recognition goes to "Chief"
Spencer and Bowman Small. Spen
cer fought ferociously and cut off
dangerous running plays on sev
eral occasions. "Bo," who has seen
little action this season, broke into
the lineup and played bang-up ball
throughout the last half.
Seniors Tnttle Sherrill, Reginald
Roberts. Bill McCormick. and Wal
lace Maultsby played their last
game for Guilford.

"REG" MARSHALL
. . . Plays for Vets' Dante
Annual Thanksgiving
Dance To Be Staged
Tomorrow Night
Reg Marshall To Play
For Veterans' Event
The return of an event which has
come to be one of the most popular
annual social events at Guilford
College—namely, the Thanksgiving
dance—is slated for tomorrow night
at the gym.
The Veterans' Club, one of the
most active organizations on cam
pus in recent years, has announced
final plans for the event, which in
cludes music by "Reg" Marshall and
the Wiley Riser orchestra from
Winston-Salem.
In using terminology which dance
fans can easily understand, the
band features a bop pianist and a
drummer who has something like
ten arms—or at least observers be
lieve he has. With his style of
music the "bounce," and "bop" vari
ety, Marshall and the Riser orches
tra are very popular among college
groups.
Tickets are ill the hands of Vet
eran Club members, and plans are
for a large crowd. Bowman Small
and A. D. Garrison, in announcing
final arrangements, stated that flow
ers are ruled out for the occasion.
Tickets are SI.OO "stag" and $1.50
"drag." Hours are from Bto 11:30.
The Veterans' Club is now dis
cussing plans for possible continu
ance of the organization and its
work after the inevitable declining
of veteran enrollment.
Dr. Marshall Warns
Audience of Plight
111 - . Roy Iv. Marshall, director of
Morehead Planetarium, pleased the
Founders Day audience at Guilford
with a discussion on stars and
atoms.
Dr. Marshall's talk centered about
the scientific developments of the
past twenty'years, mentioning the
giant Hale telescope as one great
development, and the atom bomb
as another. He observed that these
two significant inventions were, odd
ly enough, headed in the opposite
directions.
His train of thought followed re
ligious lines as he emphasized the
ftiet that man is a part of the uni
verse as well as the stars; and that
they are composed of the same chem
ical elements. "Maybe some day man
will realize this," said Dr. Mar
shall, as he stated that unless man
woke up to that truth he will cause
his own destruction.

Chapel, Girls' Dormitory To Be Added
As Development Program Progresses
Concerned Group
Helps Organize
'Dialectic Senate'
A nucleus of political-conscious
students at Guilford College, with
the assistance of one of their pro
fessors, have formed a new organi
zation, "The Dialectic Senate," on
the campus. The new organization
stemmed out of the observation of
these students that colleges today
are not adequately encouraging col
lective informal and formal discus
sions on problems of the day; either
through curricnlar or extra-curricu
lar activities. Another conviction
of the group which helped lead to
the forming of the senate was that
parliamentary law and procedure
would not be learned adequately
through textbooks without parallel
practical experience.
Dr. Algie I. Newlin, professor of
history and political science, advised
and assisted the group in planning
for the organization of the senate,
and at the first formal meeting of
the group he was appointed critic.
John Clark, senior from Griffin,
was one of the student leaders in
the group who first felt the need
of such an organization and has
been at work on the project for
some time. Clark has represented
Guilford College at the North Caro
lina Student Legislature for two

Minority Groups
Are Powerful
The Student Christian Associa
tion wtas privileged to have as its
speaker for Vespers in the Hut
on Sunday evening, November 13.
I)r. Hershel Folger, pastor of Ashe
boro Street Friends Meeting and
friend of the college. Dr. Folger's
talk was preceded by games and
refreshments around an open fire,
and the singing of hymns created
an atmosphere quite fitting for liis
talk on "Minorities."
Dr. Folger stated that we are a
minority group just because we
are a member of the white race,
because we are attending college,
and narrowing it still further, lie
cause we are members of the S.C.A.
Minority groups are always power
ful. and many people consider it
a privilege to bo among the few.
He challenged his listeners to be
among the smaller group if it
means standing by one's convictions,
and tilling needs of others wher
ever we find them.
Iteing a member of the student
body of a church-related college
means following some religions tra
ditions of that college. The Stu
dent Christian Association sought
to understand Jesus' teachings on
"Religious Tradition-Doctrine, the
Sabbath" on Sunday evening, No
vember 20, with Hardy Carroll as
moderator and Hiram Hilty as re
source leader. A lively discussion
ensued.
Compliment?
Members of the audience at
the Dramatic Council's staging
of "The Happiest Years" wlm
didn't know the personalities of
the actors and actresses were
discussing fhe fine job of acting
done in the roles of the "visi
tors from Georgia," played by
"Butch" Hayworth and Rob
Wall. A student who overheard
the conversation said. "Gosh,
they weren't acting at all. They
behave that way all the time!"

Speaker Observes
That Aid to Others
May Later Save Us
Miss Sonia Grodka, representa
tive of the World Student Service
i Fund, spoke to tile student body
about conditions in overseas insti
tutions last Friday.
Miss Grodka pointed out that
there are students all over the
world who still need onr help—
for the things they cannot create
with their own two hands, for the
medicines that do not exisit in their
own countries, for books containing
the knowledge from which they
were cut off for so long, for the
foods and vitamins that will help
them tight tuberculosis—the heir
of war and hunger.
Miss Grodka summed the situa
tion up something like this: "They
still need us, but you—all of us—
need them too. Need them to insure
a common ground, a common hope,
a common striving in every nation.
Knowledge is the most international
of commodities—but also the most
perishable. You can keep it alive
today—i't may help to keep you alive
tomorrow."
Xote was made of the way Guil
ford students have failed to realize
their needs. Only $175 of the $550
student goal has l>een raised. Of
the total SI,OOO student-faculty goal,
the World Student Service Fund
would receive approximately $250.
'Witches' Pilch Parfy;
Talent Show Success
During the month of October the
Women's Student Government As
sociation put asi#> their more intel
lectual thoughts to give attention
to a Halloween party for the girls
and a talent show.
The Halloween party was given
in Founders pnrlor one Monday eve
ning wi'th Hobbs, Founders and the
Day Hops in attendance. To get the
guests in a Halloween mood, Sally
Goodrich, Char Flanders and Ell.v
Oorneilsnn came running down the
stairs dressed in black, with brooms
swinging in the air and screnms re
sounding everywhere. They present
ed a satire from one score of the
three witches from Macbeth.
Refreshments, singing and danc
ing followed.
The W. S. O. Talent Show was
presented Wednesday, November !).
in Mem Hall. Carolyn Lee was mas
:ev of ceremonies. Several specialty
acts were done, plus a skit based
on one of the faculty meetings, with
the girls imitating the various pro
fessors. Hettie Brockman's repre
sentation of Airs. Milner was the
highlight of the program.
To the more serious side, tire drill
rules have been set up in both dor
mitories. Plans have been made
for tin announced drill this week,
followed by several surprise drills.
The W. S. G. Council has request
ed the young women to refrain from
thumbing for rides at the corner—
just to stand and appear eager in
stead if making motions to the driv
ers. Also the women are not to
wear gym soils to the corner stores.
M MBER 4
The Founders Day dedication of
the new science building addition
signified only a beginning of the
improvements in the college plant
that are slated for Guilford College.
After the dedication of the modern
$150,000 structure, which was fin
nnced by some 2,500 contributors,
college officials disclosed that a cam
paign is now in progress for com
pletion of the campus development
program. It was stated that plans
are for completion of the campaign
by January 1.
The original campaign was begun
in 1045, and a goal of $761,000 was
set for completion of five major
projects. Of that amount, to be
raised by January 1, $147,839 is
lacking.
Of the five projects, the new
King Ilall addition is now finished,
and the library is in the construc
tion stage. Tlie other three proj
ects nre a new girls' dormitory, n
new chapel and religious education
building, and renovation of Duke
Memorial Hall.
The new chapel, termed by Dr.
Milner for some time as a pressing
need, is to contain an auditorium,
a better equipped stage for plays,
and will afford better selections of
speaking events and programs of
musical nature for students and the
community, as well as further the
religious education of Guilford stu
dents. Since the auditorium or
chapel is expected to add to the
life of the community, as well as
colege personnel, a special campaign
inviting community participation in
the campaign has been set up.
The other two projects which are
to be given immediate attention on
completion of the campaign are
much needed facilities also. The
new girls' dormitory, a dream for
many years, will be erected between
the Hut and Mary liobb.s Hall with
the building line 011 'the north cor
ner of the gymnasium and Foun
ders Hall. The renovation of Memo
rial Hall will consist of converting
the present auditorium to classroom
and faculty offices. The ceiling wilt
be lowered, and of course, the floor
will be leveled.
Dr. Milner, college president, in
discussing plans for the final stages
>f the campaign, said that the na
ture of the campaign was one that
encouraged small gifts. Special Gift
prospects are being invited to con
tribute, but special emphasis is be
ing placed on giving opportunities
to present and post-graduate stu
dents, and friends of the college,
to participate: since this group is
the greatest benefactor of the im
provements. Dr. Milner observed
that some of the most impressive
gifts in the campaign so far were
small ones, and added that so far
gifts have ranged from fifty cents
to fifty dollars—both types of which
have helped to bring the campaign
to its present level.
Pacifism Holds Greater
Hopes Than Other Means
Following n short business meet
ing if the I. K. C. on Thursday eve
ning, Mr. Feagins led n discussion
on the topic, "Can We Apply Paci
fism on an International Basis?"
Seventeen persons were present and
participation was active.
Mr. Feagins described die means
of pacifism as contrasted to the
non-pacific means. He placed em
phasis on the means such as love,
non-violence, the essential place of
suffering, and the place of police
in positive international pacific
policy.
An essential conclusion slated
was that for every problem of the>
pacifist, 'there is a corresponding'
problem in any other approach to
internationalism, nd that in the
total analysis, pacifism holds great
er hope than present means used
in international relations.
