Volume XLV
Catalogue File
Is Microfilmed
By Wachovia
As a free public service the
Wachovia Bank and Trust Co. of
Greensboro has completed the task
of microfilming the 1(X)6 catalogue
cards in the Guilford College card
catalogue file.
"This service was offered t to
libraries of the state," said Mrs.
Treva Mathis, head librarian, "in
order that our holdings can' be
listed in the Union Catalogue of
the Wilson Library at the Univer
sity of North Carolina."
"Formerly all we have had listed
were our Quaker books," she con
tinued. "This will list everything
we have which is not available
elsewhere."
Any library may request infor
mation from the Union Catalogue
and then write to the individual
library asking to borrow the spe
cial material they have. This inter
library service should be especially
valuable to seniors working on their
theses, Mrs. Mathis pointed out.
Employees of Wachovia Bank
put in many extra hours to com
plete the microfilming of the cards.
"Negotiations began August 1 and
we received the cards September
1," said Mrs. Mathis. "They did the
work between 4 p.m. and 12 p.m.
each day because the machine was
in use at the bank during the day."
Approximately 40 drawers of
catalogue cards have been micro
filmed.

campus are planning to hold Open
House after the Homecoming
game on October 8. The dorms will
he open between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The girls plan to have the dorms

vite everyone to come in.

Record Enrollment
Students Flood Campus;
714 Register for Classes
With a record and unexpectedly
high enrollment the college cam
pus is fairly "busting at the seams."
At the last count the official enroll
ment was approximately 714. This
number included six graduate stu
dents.
Practically every available inch
of boarding space has been
utilized. All dorms are filled to
capacity; the infirmary has been in
use for the girls, and both the gym
nasium and infirmary are being
used to house some of the boys.
Many other students are staying in
aomes throughout the Guilford
jommunity.
In explaining this crowded hous
.ng problem Dean Daryl Kent said,
'All schools over-accept due to the
multiple applications. Many stu
dents apply to four or five colleges
so that every college has to count
on shrinkage."
"We usually hit it pretty close,"
he continued, "but this year there
wasn't as much drop out as we had
anticipated."
According to Dean Kent the up
perclassmen caused part of this
over - admission problem. Upper
classmen were given readmission
blanks last spring with a deadline
for returning them. But many of
these blanks were slow coming in,
and the admissions office had
already completed the process of
accepting freshmen before many of
the upperclassmen reapplied.
Only ten boys were promised
rooms who didn't have them the
3rst day. However, all these have
now been absorbed into either
dorms or the infirmary.
On the girls' side of the campus,
Miss Mildred Marlette, dean of
women, reports that all dorms are
full with one girl in the infirmary
and two living in Greensboro with
relatives waiting for rooms.
"Only two new girls didn't show
up," she said, "and all upperclass
girls expected back returned ex
cept one."
Despite such a high enrollment
and so many students to work with,
registration has been termed a suc
cess by Mr. Bill Yates, registrar.
The new system of pre-registration
instituted last year moved students
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., SEPTEMBER 27, 1960
through the business of registra
tion ip half the time it has taken in
previous years.
In referring to upperclass regis
tration Mr. Yates said, "We closed
the doors at 11:30. We had pro
cessed 344 at that time."
"Pre-registration certainly helped
us in the fall," he continued. "It
reduced the number of changes in
in courses; it provided more stabi
lized schedules; it helped in order
ing books; and it helped expedite
the process for upperclassmen."
