Union Music
The poor people who used to sit
for hours, listening only to the un
pleasant sounds of those around
them, will be delighted to hear that
the Union has been provided with
music throughout the mornings.
Yes, the dull, drab Union will be
dull and drab no more. Saturday,
October 13, marked the beginning.
As Union patrons entered they
were greeted by melodies that filled
the air. The rough tones of conver
sation were smoother over by the
sound of music.
The Union phonograph will be
placed in the old bookstore in the
soda shop of the Union and all will
be able to enjoy the music. Miss
Upchurch has decided to play some
records from her personal collec
tion, consisting of sound-tracks and
popular classical music. The music
will be provided for all to enjoy
and appreciate as they congregate
in the Union.
Clearing Things Up
As the Traffic Committee ends its
second week of operation, it has
become evident that there are cer
tain things which need to be cleared
up. The main questions asked so
far are:
1. Was this whole deal set up
just because one boy was hurt?
'lhe answer to this question is
deliiiitety no. When the new consti
tution or the Student Legislature
was passeu last year, it maue a pro
vision tor the establishment ot a
i ratlic Committee. A 1 rathe Com
mittee was appointed last year and
work was begun. Ihe accident, un
fortunately, occurred before it went
into operation, it may and it may
not have happened it the rules were
oeing enrorced. However, this is
not tne main point. Our purpose is
to prevent, in any way possible,
such things from happening again.
2. But 1 didn't know that the
rules were being enforced, in fact,
1 didnt even know that we had
rules, because 1 wasn t in chapel
the three times that is was an
nounced, and 1 didn t receive a
mimeographed copy of the rules,
and 1 uiun t know that a yellow
curb meant no parking . .
We teel that by now everybody
should be aware that traffic regula
tions are being enforced, and that
we have given adequate warning
concerning exactly what is being
enforced, ignorance will be no ex
cuse for not complying with the
regulations.
3. 1 am only going to have my
car down here, tor a weekend or
two and 1 don't know if I have to
register my car or not." "I am going
to have a different car later and 1
didn t see any reason for getting a
registration sticker because 1 was
changing cars."
To answer the first part of this
question, we have decided that if
you are going to be driving a car
on campus it will have to be regis
tered. Anyone having exceptional
cases is asked to see any member
of the Traffic Committee for fur
ther explanation. As to the chang
ing ot cars, you must get a registra
tion sticker for your first car. if you
know that you are changing cars,
the sticker could be put up tempo
rarily on the windshield via tape
or any other convenient method.
It may then be transferred to the
new car.
4. How are we going to enforce
speeding?
We don't have radar, and don't
feel that we need radar. The giving
of a speeding ticket will be a mat
ter of judgment. If you are given a
speeding ticket, there won't be any
doubt.
5. Do the city police have any
jurisdiction here?
The city police COULD have
jurisdiction here. They are of the
opinion that as long as we can han
dle the situation, they will let us
handle it. If we ask them to come
out, they would, and with full au
thority.
6. How much jurisdiction does
the Traffic Committee have?
We have been told by the ad
ministration that we have as much
jurisdiction as we want (within
reason). We have approval of en
forcement of all the rules currently
in operation, and they back us com
pletely.
These seem to be the main ques
tions raised so far. Further ques
tions, suggestions, or criticisms will
be appreciated. The members of
the cammittee are Carol Hunter,
Pat Larracy, Stan Williams, Sherm
Kelsey, and David Miller.
We appreciate your cooperation
and hope that it will continue. If it
does, we are sure that this traffic
problem will no longer exist.

15 Campus Beauties Nominated As
1962 Homecoming Court Candidates
Once again Eris tosses the Gold
en Apple inscribed, "for the fairest.'
into the chaos of Guilford's Home
coming Week festivities.
Fifteen of our smiling co-eds are
vying for the prize. The rivalry be
gan last week as the candidates
were announced, and it amuses
some of us to watch the evolution
of a "popular girl."
The male portion of the students
should be enjoying the week be
cause the girls never took so much
trouble in preparing themselves for
their gjrand appearance in the
Union or the cafeteria each day.
It's very easy to spot these beau
ties as they slink to class, with their
mawkish smiles and insipid con
versation. The harrassed professors
will pull through the week without
too many ill effects, even though
they must fight the admiring crowds
away from the classroom door in
order to get a homecoming queen
candidate into the class before
"quarter of."
The group of leering "top ath
letes," the Monogram Club, has
suggested Darlene Brigance as a
possible candidate for the prize.
Darlene, a sophomore Elementary
Education major from Charlotte, is
a talented vocalist and has held
several state and local titles.
Mary Burton, a pert freshman
from Stuart, Va., has the full sup
port of the A Cappella Choir in her
campaign.
The men student representatives
have unanimously decided to sup
port Diana "come lately" Coney
bear. Diana is a senior this year,
majoring in psychology. She is in
terested and active in many cam
pus organizations.
Judy Day, a senior political sci
ence major from Guilford College,
seems to have her International Re
lations Club well in hand. This or
ganization is suggesting Judy as
its candidate for the crown.
The Women's Student Council
has nominated Linda Krauss as its
candidate. Linda is a senior psychol
ogy major from Garden City, New
York. She's luckv to have the en
darsement of all the women stu
dents and a certain Mr. Barnes.
The sophomore class chose Diane
Moseley as the fairest of its co-eds.
Diane is a bona fide member of the
class and an Education major from
Mount Airy.
The campus thespians, always
"better late than never," have nomi
nated a freshman, Gloria Phillips,
for the contest. Gloria is a bright
eyed history major from the metrop
olis of Greensboro.
Kay Reese, one of the many
"Slater slaves," entered the compe
tition from the senior class. Kay, a
Guilford veteran of four years, is an
Economics major from White
Plains.
Mary Davis Riddle, representa
tive from the freshman class, is
from Fayetteville. She may be
found tip-toeing around the Union
lounge almost every night.
Those of us who saw and partici
pated in last year's May Day pro
gram will remember Janice Rogers
—Lady Maidenform. She is a sopho
more Education major from High
Point, and has been nominated from
the Women's Athletic Association.
The notorious Jane Simpson, a
Sociology major from Salisbury,
Student Legislature
First on the agenda of the Stu
dent Legislature calendar fox-
October 4 was the welcoming of
the new members who are Tom
Taylor, president of the freshman
class; Lee Milner and Jim Williams,
freshman class representatives to
the legislature.
Stan Williams reported that the
men students will participate in
Homecoming Day with floats and
dorm decorations.

Liz Allcott and Jane Simpson form
the Secretariat; Pete Rickards,
chairman; Tom Taylor, Lee Milner
and Kay Reece for the Freshman
Week Evaluation Committee; Dil
lard Norman, chairman; Jim Wil
liams, Jane Simpson, and Bill Sea
brook are members of the Student
Union Committee.
The Traffic Committee, under the
leadership of Dave Miller, is well
under way and has been enforcing
laws.
It was decided that we will have
only one work day, which will be in
the spring.
comes to the competition from the
junior class. "Simp" is one of Guil
ford's "big wheels," being active in
almost anything that goes on around
campus.
The bouncing, bobbing, bubbling
cheerleaders have nominated Kay
Smith, a senior English major from
Greensboro, for the contest.
Kay Stabler, one of the noisiest
girls in Mary Hobbs who channels
her exuberance through leading
cheers at the games and riots in the
dorm, has been nominated from the
Quaker. The yearbook staff has con
fidence in Kay, a sophomore Psy
chology major from Bethesda, Md.
Judy Wells, exacting dorm presi
dent at Mary Hobbs, chief cheer
leader and head of the Social Com
mittee, is a senior Education major
from Teachey. "Wells" can usually
be found flicking the lights at ten
o'clock while she says "good night"
to "the body" Holly.
Helen June Wright, a sophomore
Economics major from Greensboro,
has been nominated by the Day
Student Committee.
Booster Club
The Student Legislature moves
forward for the formation of the
Guilford College Booster Club.
Working under the auspices of the
Guilford College Student Legisla
ture, the Booster Club has elected
as its officers Brinley McDanel,
president; Linda Krauss, vice-presi
dent; and Lib Pyrtle, secretary.
These officers, along with the
vice-presidents of all the student
organizations and classes, are re
sponsible for all announcements
within the school. Anyone wishing
to make announcements will turn
such into the Student Government
Room (211 Arehdale) by Thursday
night. They will be mimeographed
and distributed to the students on
Monday.
In its first effort to perform tho
duties of a Booster Club, the organ
ization is aiding Jerry Smyre in the
formation of a band; thus raising or
reviving, as the case may be, school
spirit and team morale.
Constant representation by all
vice-presidents is important and the
cooperation of everv student is
urged as the Booster Club attempts
to serve the entire school.
