Guilfordian To
Get New Look
Will Use Smaller Type
Beginning with the first issue
of next semester, The Guilfordian
will have a new look.
The face lifting will begin first
with a new size of type. Heretofore,
the Guilfordian has been setting all
its news articles in 10 point type,
but the new look will see a smaller
type for the paper, making it pos
sible to print more articles.
In the past issues several articles
have had to be left out simply be
cause there was a lack of space
in the paper. We hope to remedy
that situation by having the type
smaller, in eight point type.
The name of the papfer, seen at
the top of the front page, will also
be set in a more modern type.
With the forthcoming changes,
the Guilfordian will be able to af
ford campus organizations more
complete coverage.
Second semester publication
dates are as follows: Feb. 14 and
28; March 14; April 11 and 25; May
9 and 23.
There will be no issue of the
paper in January due to Semester
exams which will begin Jan. 22
and continue through Jan. 30. The
month of March will have only one
issue due to spring vacation.
NEWS BRIEFS
Vacation begins tomorrow at 1
p. m. It will end January 3. This
means that classes begin on that
day.
Due to a conflicting Physical
Education Convention, Play Day
will be postponed until a later date.
Blazers which were ordered from
the WAA will be mailed home to
the girls during Christmas holidays.
On January 4 the Guilford bas
ketball team will be playing High
Point here.
The MSG was in charge of dec
orating the Christmas tree in the
circle in front of Memorial Hall.
The office of the Registrar has
published a tentative schedule for
semester exams. Anyone having any
conflicts is requested to notify the
registrar's office, so that the sched

CHRISTMAS CHEER AT HORBS HALL
STUDENTS REPORT
FROM U.N. SEMINAR
The six students who went to
the United Nations Seminar learn
ed some facts and arrived at certain
questions and conclusions which
they would like to share with the
student body.
They learned that at this mo
ment, most of the United States
planes are in the air carrying load
ed hydrogen bombs. The U. S. has
a string of military bases all over
the globe encircling the Soviet Un
ion. On the other hand, the Soviet
Union has the ICBM and Sputnik,
the two most advanced scientific
achievements of the present day.
One of these is being built for the
purpose of destroying.
With these and other facts, the
students felt that it is no wonder
that the Russians mistrust and fear
the U. S. just as the U. S. mistrust
and fear them. The logical step
next as concluded was that when
one is threatened with extermina
tion, one sets up a defense with the
greatest expediency which will b6st
ward off destruction. Logically,
this is exactly what the U. S. is
doing, and one of the purposes of
the U. N. Seminar was to discuss
and find whether this is a logical
race or a suicidal race and inhuman
race.
The latter seems to be the feeling
of many persons whom the students
met, and these persons were well
aware of the facts. The students
also heard many prominent persons
express the fact that Washington
is in a panic, and panic is unreason

Live To Enjoy Christmas
By ANN TAYLOR
"Hey, Joe, what time d'ya' think we'll get in?"
"Shouldn't be over a half-hour more. We've made good time con
sidering that we've been in heavy traffic."
"Yeah, wonder how many more of these cars have kids in them
going home for the Holidays? Me, I can hardly wait. Step on the gas,
man."
It had been snowing—very lightly—but enough to make the road
slippery. As Joe increased his speed more and more, he suddenly came
to a sharp curve which he was unable to make.
When the patrolmen and ambulance reached the site of the ac
cident, it was too late to do anything more than try to find some sort
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU
of identification on the victims, and notify the families and the nearest
funeral home.
Christmas was not very happy that year for the families and friends
of Joe and his companion. How could they rejoice when someone
so near and dear to them had been killed in a traffic accident that
could have been avoided if the travelers had not been in such a hurry.
When Joe had left school for home, and his friends had warned
him to 'take it easy,' 'be careful,' he told them, "I've heard it all before
. . . don't speed, don't take chances . . . well I'm a good driver; noth
ing's going to happen to me." But it happens even to those who think
they are the best drivers; one careless chance, a burst of excessive
speed, and that's all that is needed for the driver and his passengers to
become another statistic of traffic accidents.
Each year at Christmas, 'as well as on other holidays, so many
people are needlessly killed in accidents. While "Dreaming of a White
Christmas," also dream of the fact that snow and ice make excessive
speed one of man's worst enemies.
