VOLUME XLI
DRUG FOR EFFICIENT
STUDY AVAILABLE
The GUILFORDIAN has informa
tion concerning a new drug that
should be of interest to all Guilford
students who have just concluded
another periodic bout with exams.
The school nurse, Ruth Simpson,
reports that the drug is not avail
able just yet, but the manufacturer
promises that the drug will be on
the market within a few weeks.
This drug, neuro-agimine, is re
ported to be extremely effective in
increasing ability to assimilate ma
terial fo£ .study. Many experiments
indicate that study efficiency may
be increased as much as 50-60 per
cent. Reports indicate, however,
that neuro-agimine has a tendency
to affect the nervous system, much
in the manner of caffeine or benze
drine. It has been questioned by
some students to find out if the
adverse affects of this drug are
sufficient to offset its beneficial
effects. An enthusiastic student said
in reply: "If the drug will help to
master fifty per cent more material,
I, for one, say, 'Who cares about
the shakes? firing on the neuro
agimine!' "
S. A. M. Activities
The Society for Advancement of
Management, the recognized na
tional professional organization of
management in industry, com
merce, government and education,
and the pioneer in management
philosophy has been dedicated to
the promotion and advancement of
the art and science of management
ever since the original Taylor So
ciety was established in 1912.
Through the 95 University Chap
ters in leading colleges and uni
versities, the Society endeavors to
strengthen and make more realistic
management education. The pro
gram has been designed for stu
dents preparing for careers in the
many functional areas of business
and industry in which the practice
of good management that makes
for greater efficiency in the utiliza
tion of men, materials, machines,
and money is essential and funda
mental.
Seminars, clinics, conferences,
lectures, research projects and plant
visits with business executives give
students an insight into the practice
of the management profession and
make more realistic and effective
their preparation for life and, in
addition, impart to them a sound
attitude toward and full apprecia
tion of industry.
The basic objectives of the Uni
versity Program are: (1) to bring
closer together executives in busi
ness and students preparing to go
into business; (2) to serve as an
effective medium for the exchange
and distribution of information on
the problems, policies, and methods
of industry and management; (3)
to provide students with the oppor
tunity to participate in the organ

controlling of the activities of an

Guilfordian Dance
May Become
Tradition
The Founder's Day Dance spon
sored by the GUILFORDIAN was held
Saturday, November 10, in the
Student Union. This dance was the
first of what is hoped will become
a tradition at Guilford College and
an outstanding annual event.
With the theme of the decora
tions being "A Visit To Cartoon
Land," students were ushered into
the dance through gaily colored
entrance-ways. A huge fire blazed
away in the fireplace at one end of
the room with the smell of cedar
permeating the room. Our cartoon
friend, Pogo, beamed down on the
students from his place of honor
over the fireplace and was the first
to greet the guests as they arrived.
Flanking Pogo on both sides of
the room were: Bugs Bunny, Snuffy
Smith, Dennis the Menace, Elmer,
and Mutt and Jeff.
The dance was termed a success
by those who attended and Bob
Stanger, editor-in-chief of the
GUILFORDIAN, wishes to thank mem
bers of the GUILFORDIAN staff for
their co-operation and help.

Hough Is Popular
Campus Speaker
On Thursday, November 15, the
campus was honored to have
Joseph Hough as guest speaker in
chapel and in the International
Relations Club.
Mr. Hough is a graduate of Star
High School in Star, North Car
olina, and of Wake Forest College,
and is at present studying at South
eastern Seminary.
Last summer Mr. Hough was a
Rotary Scholar studying in Edin
burgh, Scotland. For his chapel
talk he related some of his personal
experiences while he was in
Europe. He was primarily inter
ested in the people of the countries
although he said also that he saw
some magnificent sights.
He saw in every country the
friendly spirit of the people and
believes that if more people could
have the opportunity he had, world
understanding would be farther on
its way.
At the International Relations
Club meeting, he continued with
more of his personal experiences,
stressing the fact that problems and
crises that exist in the U. S. which
are considered by many people as
governmental topics and to
accord to these undergraduates the
actual situations that they will en
; counter in the future.
The Legislature was separated
into two bodies, the Senate and the
| House of Representatives. Repre
senting Guilford College in the
Senate chamber were senators
Joyce Hannaum, Warren Mitofsky,
and Carolyn Newlin. Delegates to
the House were representatives Al
vin Jaffee, Carolyn Pipkin, Claud
ette Belton, and Robert S. Stanger.
Two Guilford delegates were elect
ed to offices: Joyce Hannaum as
reading clerk in the Senate and
Alvin Jaffee in the capacity of
recording secretary in the House.
Guilford College had two note
worthy bills on the agenda. The
first, called for the reapportioning
of the voting districts in the state
of North Carolina. This piece of
legislation was passed by acclama
tion by the entire governing body.
The second bill presented by the
Quaker delegation was to aid the
economic status of the public
school teacher by eliminating the
three per cent sales tax on all their
purchases. This bill was passed
with only two dissenting votes in
the Senate but was failed by a large
majority in the House.
One of the most controversial
bills that appeared was presented
by the University of North Caro
lina. They proposed abolish the
Pearsall Plan. It is interesting to
note that this plan was favored by
seventy-five per cent of the voting
population of this state; yet, this
collegiate congress voted, by a
large majority, to repeal this law.
Other ebulient bills presented
included one from North Carolina
State. They delivered a bill that,
if initiated, would unite all the
"dry" counties with the "wet" coun
ties into a uniform state, that would
be governed by a uniform law, that
would set up an Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board in every county.
Governor Hodges gave a short
address to the body on Friday
afternoon and expressed his delight
at seeing so many students who
were interested in their country's
future—interested enough to gain
experience now so as to be of aid
in later life.
purely local are by no means such,
for the world is watching and is
interested in how the U. S. will
meet its problems. If we are to
continue as a leader among nations
we must exercise wise judgments.
Mr. Hough was very well re
ceived by the student body as was
demonstrated by their applause in
chapel and by their comments
afterwards.
