Once for All
This is the month of giving. This
is the time of the year when people
throughout the land join hands and
hearts to support the community
services that are vital for the wel
fare of their fellowmen. On many
college campuses the annual ap
peal to give for humanitarian
causes finds ready response and
whole-hearted participation. Our
Guilford campus with its old
Quaker tradition is no exception.
This year students and faculty
alike are again given the oppor
tunity to have their fair share in
this great and unique common
venture. There cannot be any
doubt that they will respond as
willingly and generously as last
year when student body and staff
together exceeded by $125 the total
goal of $925. Our aim this year is
to make our Campus Chest drive
really all-inclusive, to give once for
all! To provide for all vital causes
in one campaign instead of giving
to each of them separately is a
tremendous -saving in time and
money. Hence, our goal has been
;et at $1,200, or $l5O more than we
.ollected last year. Students and
iaculty share equally in this goal,
each group contributing S6OO. For
:he students that means a raise of
inly ten per cent over last year's
jollection. Four basic causes are
xir concern. They are local wel
are, foreign relief, combat of dis
eases, and help to higher education
abroad, where such help is urgently
leeded. A detailed allocation of
>ur chest to each of these causes
is found on the front page of this
issue.
We sincerely hope that each
Guilford student will see his and
ier way clear to contribute. How
nuch? Let each of you give the
imount that his means allows him,
lis compassion invites him, his con
cience counsels him. Generous
;iving to better the lot of human
>eings here and abroad who are
3ss fortunate than we are is in the
oest American tradition.

Edward Post Opens Law Office
Edward N. Post, former student
at Guilford College, has recently
opened law offices in the Security
Bank Building in High Point, N. C.
Mr. Post graduated from the
North Carolina University School
of Law in 1954, but was delayed
in setting up actual practice by a
two-year tour of duty with the
United States Army.
As a graduate of Guliford Col
lege, Mr. Post stated, "Guilford
offers one of the best educational
programs available for a prospec
tive law student—especially," he
added, "in that the curriculum af
fords a wide variety of courses for
the development of a well-rounded
personality."
After graduating from B. J.
Beynolds High School in Winston-
Salem, Mr. Post entered Guilford
College in the fall of 1948 to begin
his upward climb. He was placed

poraries, he participated in the
sport in season —water fighting—
using the water-filled dorm base
ments as the battlefield.
Inspired by Dorothy Loyd Gil
bert, then a professor at Guilford,
he began to express himself by
becoming a reporter for THE GUIL
FORDIAN, eventually obtaining the
position of Editor-in-chief in 1949-
1950. Rf *>-• t, u
While at the University Law
School at Chapel Hill, Mr. Post
founded and edited the Tar Hill
Barrister, a student-alumni news
journal which has a national circu
lation of around 4,000. He was
also the recipient of the American
Trust Company Will and Trust
Drafting Award.
Mr. Post will be associated with
Mr. J. V. Morgan, prominent High
Point attorney.

Dr. Williams on
Student Union
"I hope that the student body
will feel that this is their building,"
said Dr. Williams, director of the
new Student Union.
Dr. Williams graduated from
Guilford College in the class of
1921. Her father was pastor of the
New Garden Friends Meeting.
Prior to coming to Guilford, Dr.
Williams was director of the Lynn
Home for Aged Woman in Lynn,
Mass; before this she taught as
tronomy at Smith College.
Dr. Williams plans to have the
Student Union open from nine in
the morning to nine-fifty in the
evening. To do this either she or
a student helper will have to be
in the building all the time. She
also mentioned that one of the pur
poses of the Student Union is to
have a place for day students to go
between classes. The soda fountain,
operated by Gordon Haight and
Eugene White, will be open from
11:30-1:30, 5:30-7:30 and 9:00-9:50.
Sandwiches, coffee, ice-cream, and
sodas will be served.
Dr. Williams hopes that it can
be arranged so that the book store
will be open all the time. As well
as text books, books on consign
ment from a store in Greensboro
will be available.
Many of the clubs and organi
zations on campus will make use

I.R.C. Picnic Held
Despite the cold rain and
fog, the International Relations
Club picnic held on Friday, Octo
ber sth from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. was
a success. Due in part to the facil
ities at Quaker Lake and partly
due to the wonderful spirit of the
"die-hards" who came in spite of
the weather.
After some games, the group
gathered for business. Miss Heea
Haider was selected to be the
I.R.C.'s candidate for the Home
coming queen, a choice supported
by the entire group.
