Campus Poll
Seniors Select Most
Valuable Courses of
Core Curriculum
(Editor's note): Realizing that
Guilford's core curriculum is an in
tegrated whole and cannot properly
he separated, the Guilfordian re
cently polled seven seniors to find
out which single course they think
will he most valuable to them now
and in the future. "Of all the core
curriculum courses, which one do
you think is and will be most valu
able to you personally?"
Ken Layton: "English 21. In tak
ing this course my interest in world
literature advanced to the stage of
my making English my major."
Robin Holland: "It is a difficult
choice to make because each course
in the core curriculum seems essen
tial for becoming a liberally edu
cated person. I should say that
Philosophy 41 and 42 is the most
valuable, not only in the sense that
one learns what the great thinkers
of the ages have contributed to the
knowledge of man, but also because
it rests on the accumulative learn
ing of the previous three years of
work and gives a basis for interest
in subsequent learning in all fields."
Charles Goode: "I believe that
the most valuable core curriculum
course to me and perhaps to every
body was English 11 and 12. There
will not be a day in my life in
which I will not use the English
language."
Martha Bean: "As much as I hate
to admit it, I must say that Philoso
phy 24 is the most valuable of all.
Aesthetic appreciation was some
thing I was entirely lacking in, but
now when I look at a painting or a
piece of sculpturing, I at least have
some idea of its qualities. In this
way I can appreciate it much more.
I know the course will mean even
more to me in future life because it
contains facts and material which
make a person more completely at
home in modern society."
Bob Lovell: "English 11 and 12.
Many impressions are made by
one's speech, and especially by cor
respondence. The background I re
ceived in English here 1 believe
will prove most valuable."
Carol Lowe: "The most valuable
core curriculum course to me is
English 21. My first reason for this
choice is that a study and under
standing of classical literature is
essential and basic to the study of

literature in general. One does not
have to read very far before he en
counters an allusion to some char
acter or event in classical literature.
Secondly, I consider English 21 in
valuable, because a knowledge of
classical literature is characteristic
of an educated person. Thirdly,
English 21 is filled with variety
which provides enjoyable reading
for the student."
Brenda Alexander: "It is extreme
ly difficult to choose a particular
core curriculum course as the most
valuable. Each area of study is im
portant in understanding our civili
zation. The culminating course is
Philosophy 41 and 42. In this sur
vey almost all areas are covered.
This course as the summit of the
entire liberal arts program will be
most beneficial in creating a solidi
fied view of Western thought."
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MARCH 9, 1962
Students Approve
$3,225 Increase In
Activities Budget
The 1962-63 student activities
budget passed by a vote of 8-1 in
the recent referendum conducted
in chapel. The budget calls for an
increase of $3,225 over the present
budget. In order to meet this, each
student activity fee will be raised
to $26.00, a SI.OO increase over this
year.
The ballots provided space for
comments on the proposed budget.
Many students singled out the
Men's Athletic Association to re
ceive more money for athletic schol
arships. It should be noted, how
ever, that the allotment from the
student activities budget is not used
for such scholarships. Some stu
dents believed that the choir and
the Guilfordian had requested too
much. Twenty-five per cent of the
notes pertained to athletics and one
per cent to cultural aspects of the
school. Out of approximately 600
students only 388 voted.
Eligible to compete is any college
or university student or member of
the Aimed Forces accredited to
educational institutions anywhere
in die world.
Prize for the best short story sub
mitted in the contest will be SSOO.
The number two entry will win
$350, and third prize will he $250.
The next eighteen winners will re
ceive honorable mention awards of
SSO apiece.
Announcement of the contest was
made by Whit Burnett, editor of
Story and by Sterling Fisher, execu
tive director of the Digest Founda
tion. Both urged contestants to pre
pare entries as soon as possible,
noting that the contest deadline is
April 20, 1962. Manuscripts should
be from 1500 to 9000 words in
length and should be submitted to
Story Magazine College Contest,
c/o The Reader's Digest, Pleasant

dent Art Exhibit, sponsored bv the

locations came to admire the works

Throughout the past week the ex
hibit was the talk of the campus
and lingering yet are pleasant mem
ories and wishes for continuations
of this type of event each year.
Perhaps by this display of art and
by those displays to follow, stu
dents will eventuate enough enthu
siasm for an effective art program
here at Guilford.

l Education by travel will be offer
ed for the first time in its history
by the Greensboro Division of Guil
ford College in a tour to Europe
and the Holy Land this summer,
according to plans announced by
Dr. Clyde A. Milner, president, and
Dr. Grady E. Love, executive di
rector.
Plans have been completed by
the college in cooperation with
Lucas Travel Agency to operate
the college class tor a maximum of
two credit hour s. The tour will be
gin on Sunday, August 5, by jet
plane from idlewild Airport in
New York, returning to New York
on Sunday, August 26. Two weeks
will be devoted to historic Euro
pean centers: Paris, Geneva, Rome,
Athens, London; with an additional
week-end in Cairo; and a week in
Jordan and Israel devoted to a
study of die Holy Land.
A minimum of fifteen and a maxi
mum of twenty registrations will
be required. Members of the tour
will be admitted in three cate
gories : those who wish college cred
it; those who wish to audit without
credit; and interested individuals
who wish to join the tour for their
own educational or recreational
purposes. The regular college fee
will be charged for credit regis
trants. The round-trip fee including
all gratuities is $1537, which can
be paid in installments over a one
to two-year period.
Director of the tour and instruc
tor for die course will be Dr. J.
Floyd Moore, associate professor,
who formerly lived and taught in
Palestine and Germany, and who
returned this fall from a month's
special tour of Europe and Africa.
According to Dr. Milner, this tour
will inaugurate a new period of
special emphasis on the internation
al aspect of education at Guilford,
and will make possible an expan
sion of adult education service by
the Greensboro Division to resi
dents of the Greater Greensboro
and Piedmont area. With the rapid
development of travel and of inter
est in events of international char
acter, he said, Guilford College can,
through a travel course, perform a
distinct service.
Interested persons may obtain
additional information from Dr.
Love at the Greensboro Division.
The travel course will be open to
all students of college level, to min
isters, teachers, business and pro
fessional men and women, and to
high school students if accom
panied by an adult.
Special interest during the tour
will be focused on historic and
artistic aspects of Near Eastern and
European culture, but attention al
so will be given to current social,
economic and political events. Ade
quate time will be made available
for personal activities. A highlight
of the trip will be informal lectures
on Biblical history while the group
is in Jordan and Israel, where Dr.
Moore taught from 1946 to 1948.
