GUILFORD COLLEG
Tickets For
Lecture Available
The regular Greensboro Mac-
Donald concert series will be
started in Aycock Auditorium at
8 p.m., December 5, 1955. The
Convocation Committee of Guil
ford College, which is made up of
students and faculty, have bought
ten tickets for the series of which
there are five different programs.
The tickets are kept in the lib
rary and any one student can pick
up a ticket after twelve o'clock on
December 5. The tickets may be
reserved by signing up before
hand.
Vocalist for the first concert is
Mr. Jussi Bjoerling, world famous
tenor and artist of the metro
politan Opera Company. A superi
or musical artist like Jussi Bjoer
ling cannot be brought to the Guil
ford campus so the Convocation
Committee has decided to buy a
few tickets in order to make it pos
sible for at least a few students
to benefit from hearing good
music. The committee seriously
hopes that all ten tickets will be
used for each program of the
series. Further announcements
will be made about the remaining
four concerts.

Inter-Collegiate
Council Meets
The Greensboro Inter-Collegiate
Council consisting of students
from the six colleges of the
Greensboro area met at Greens
boro College, last night December
first. Students from Greensboro
College presented the program for
the meeting.
The Inter-Collegiate Council is
composed of students enrolled in
the six colleges of the Greensboro
area interested in fostering social
contact with students of other
colleges who have similar intel
lectual interest and concern. Us
ually the meeting consist of discus
sions of collegiate, national and
inter-national issues. Despite the
fact that the council consists of
both faculty and students from
the various colleges, it has no
formal connection with these col
leges represented nor does it have
any requirements for membership
except a desire on the part of its
members to want to know other
students having diversified col
'egiate, racial, and vocational
backgrounds.
Guilford students interested in
attending future meetings should
contact Martha Wellons or Frank
Laraway and watch for announ
cements in the Guilfordian.
