Conference Held at

Jo Ann Hundley, President of
the Westminster Fellowship, and
Dr. E. F. Burrows attended the
United Student Christian Council
Southeastern Begional Study Con
ference held at Davidson College,
North Carolina, December 27
through January 1. This council is

and YWCA.
The conference brought together
students, faculty, and administra
tive officials from 13 different
Christian denominations and 126
colleges. The Davidson conference,
one of seven regional conferences
held during the Christmas holidays,
attracted 319 delegates.
The conference theme, "Our
United Witness on the Campus,"
was explored in platform addresses,
faculty-led discussions, and small
group Bible study. Professor Waldo
Beach of Duke University, in five
addresses, described the ideal of the
university, the social and intellect
ual brokenness and disunity on the
campus, and possible strategies for
the recovery of wholeness in the
academic community.
The student-led Bible study fo
cused upon the brokenness and
unity of the Church in the New
Testament. Student groups dis
cussed strategy for Christian con
cern in student government, sum
mer work projects, ecumenical
relations, study groups, religious
emphasis weeks, and race relations.

Trustees Approve New Dormitory
Plans; Will Be Available Sept. '57
A new dormitory for men, with U permanent residence for a Dean
of Men, has been authorized for construction by the Board of Trustees.
It will be available for occupancy by September, 1957. This building
will be a modification of Shore Hall and will house 54 men and provide
a social, recreational lounge for all men students. This should provide
relief for the over-crowded conditions existing in Cox Hall. Renovation
and refurnishing should be completed in Cox Hall by September of
1957, as was done in Archdale during the summer of 1956.

Don't Cram Sam—Study
> Several other projects which are
essential to a sustained enrollment
of 550 students, have been ap
proved and construction should be
underway in the near future. An
Auditorium-Chapel-Religious Edu
cation Building has been also pro
posed and will be large enough to
provide for the College and the
community—it is planned to seat
800 to 1,000. Included will be a
modern stage with lighting equip
ment, adequate space backstage for
scene-building and an amplification
system. The auditorium will also
have facilities for the use of films
and slides and a small soundproof
room for recordings and direct
broadcasts. A $25,000 gift from the
James Foundation of New York
will be used towards this specific
project.
As soon as an auditorium-chapel
is available, the second floor of
Memorial Hall will be made into
faculty offices and classrooms. In
the reconstruction of this building,
consideration should be given to
the adequate housing of the col
lege's extremely valuable scientific
collections.
As the development of the cam
pus progresses, it becomes increas
ingly evident that the playing fields
should be located just east of the
gymnasium and should provide for
both intramural and intercollegiate
games. Experience has indicated
that the Guilford students and
alumni greatly prefer to have all
home games played on the campus.
Adequate seating and parking are
being planned and will be part of
the current Development Program.
Plans have been made to im
prove the entire lake area at Guil
ford College, especially the west
shore and the bathing beach. The
area north of the gymnasium has
been chosen as an outdoor social
recreational center.
Just north of the John Gurney
Frazier Houses, six new units are
to be constructed. These units are
to be built primarily to house facul
ty families.
As the new buildings are com
pleted, all essential walks will be
laid and also, additions to, and
extensions of, the central heating
plant will be made, as progress
advances.
Thought for the Week
Why is it always easy to say
what you shouldn't, and hard to
find the right words when you have
something constructive to say?
