A Family Affair
Now that you mention it, 1 have noticed something different about
the method ot dining in founders Hail, mulling very obvious, mind
you, but just enougn to indicate a cnange, ever so slight, but still a
change.
belore delving into the pros and cons of this as yet unproven system,
let it sullice to say that tamny style meais are somewhat or an innovation
which are not yet functioning to Jtuil capacity.
But now let us try to be more specnic in our criticisms. Although
the merits or r rench service are peniaps wiaeiy Known, they don't seem
too appncaoie tor Ounford. berving vegetables individually is one thing,
but completely separate ot another is a u, iter en t story entirely. Perhaps
i am Hum tne oiu scnool, but it it s all right with Slater System, I'd just
as soon nave my potatoes, peas, anu meat ail together on tne same plate,
instead or waiting tor them to come to me one at a lime as has been
uone in meais past.
Another pro Diem which I do not consider at all insoluble in spite ol
the ract tnac i have not as yet conceived ot a master plan to alleviate
tne situation is in regard to the members ot the tour intramural football
teams wno complete their games at a quarter to six. Under the present
system these boys (approximately sixty in number) have an entire fif
teen minutes to return to their dorms, snower, put on a coat and tie and
race madly to the dining hall to find a table, ur, if the game ends late,
these athletes are forced to get dressed without even a shower, thus
making the dinner meal a somewhat unpleasant experience for those
seated near them.
Although the days have not been many when the temperature has
reached the mid-eighties ( certainly no more than half the days of school
to date) 1 somehow feel that when the temperature reaches such a
point, the men students ought to be permitted to remove their jackets.
1 say this realizing full well the ramifications that might be caused
should such an uncouth act be attempted in so plush and fancy an es
tablishment as Founders Hall, yet tne fact remains, when its warm
enough for us to (you should excuse the expression) sweat during the
day, it s too hot for coats and ties at the dinner meal. Perhaps this is
somewhat akin to kicking a dead horse, but we might at least be able
to remove the harness from the poor beast.
Let it not be said that I am categorically opposed to the family style
method of dining. Let it only be said that the situation as it stands now
might possibly leave room tor some slight improvement.
Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor:
Why wait until it's too late to put some
lights along the walk between Founders
Hall and the library? Does someone have
to take a serious fall before the "hazard"
is taken into consideration? A great num
ber of students go up that path en rout#
to the library every night and every night
it is necessary to do a dance step so as
not to fall off the side of the walk. If
anyone doubts the necessity of lights,
piease, before voicing your opinion, wan
der up to the library byway of Founders
any night around 8 o'clock.

It hurt for a while
To t>e a figure of fun;
I find that I mind
The silly smile
And the long skirt!
And you know, for me,
There's a man in there
Many students don't see,
Behind that door,
With a thankless chore
And a deep concern!
Yet I am aware . . .
I confess as much . . .
How young minds run
Quick to be pert
To authority as such!
Possibly youth,
Not to be uncouth.
Should haste to learn taste;
While I (age), in turn, should learn
To laugh at me!

Dear Editor:
We have read with great dismay the
article entitled "Mabe Speaks," particu
larly the section dealing with the campus
radio station. If Mr. Mabe is so concerned
about the station, he should contact junior
class delegate, David Holt, who is in
charge of this project. Mr. Holt would be
most pleased to give all available ma
terial to Mr. Mabe. Before jumping to
any additional conclusion about business
being discussed by the legislature, please

will be shed upon issues involved. With
che many excess hours Mr. Mabe has to
use in trying to pick up radio stations,
possibly he could spare one hour a week

—Executive Council
Dear Sir:
This letter is a response to the personal
attack launched at me by the Executive
Council, which is headed by Larry Scott.
AS much as I would like to launch a per
sonal attack at Scott, I will confine myself
co the issue involved. However, I would
like to point out the highly emotional
Lone of the letter, which seems to con
note a certain amount of anger. (One
resorts to anger when rational argument
will no longer suffice.)
I am amazed that Scott places the full
responsibility for the radio station project
on David Holt, rather than assuming it
himself. Why didn't he give the available
material to us in the letter, instead of
to avoid the issue with a personal
attack on me? I wonder if there is any
''available material." Let me state the
issue. Scott and his Council practically
promised the sutdent body a radio station
if they were elected. They were elected,
but we don't have a radio station.
Now the Council seems to think I
should take the initiative for something
that is their responsibility. My only inter
est is in listening to a radio station. Their
responsibility is to fulfill their promise
by presenting a radio station to the stu
dents regardless of what I may do.

Dear Sir:
The date of the Guilford College '62
Homecoming was definitely a poor choice
since this date conflicted with the High
Point Furniture Market, the largest fur
niture market in the United States, if
not the world. The overwhelming amount
of people coming to the High Point area
completely monopolized and overflowed
the facilities of all motels, hotels, and
guest homes in Greensboro, High Point,
Winston-Salem, and the areas surround-

GUILFORD'S FINEST
Every year, at each one of our athletic events our team is soundly
supported by a small select group of girls who are willing to devote their
time and energy under any and all conditions. This group is composed
of seven cheerleaders and two substitutes whose enthusiasm is greater
than that of the rest of the student body.
These cheerleaders include Judy Wells, chief; Kay Smith, assistant
chief; Darlene Brigance, Laurie Russell, Carolyn Kirkman, Brenda Fer
guson, Kay Stabler, Judy Daniels and Jeanine Voss.
It must be discouraging for them to try to elicit interest from an
apathetic, unresponsive group which does not seem to notice that the
cheerleaders' responsibility is to lead organized cheers with the help of
the students. They are doing their job; why don't you?
Day Students Committee
The new Day Student Committee
consists of the following officers:
Bill Seabrook, president; Brinley
McDanel, vice-president and treas
urer; and Ivy Washburn, secretary.
Representatives to the Men's Stu
dent Council are Frank Wilder,
Steen Spove, and Bill Greene. Ivy
Washburn represents the day stu
dents to the Women's Student
Council. Committee members-at
large are June Wright, Marshall
Lowe, Wayne Ellington, and Jim
Morgan.
Our candidate for Homecoming
Queen is June Wright. Unanimously
elected by the day student body,
June seems to be a good contender.
Her appointment as chairman of
the Day Student Homecoming
Committee fell right in with the
results of the election.
It's been mentioned that day stu
dents have not been kept informed
ing these cities. Even our own Alumni
House was affected—the largest room
being held by persons attending the fur
niture market.
Many parents, friends, and alumni of
Guilford College were unable to be
present at their school's homecoming
because they were unable to make ac
commodations for themselves here. Thus,
many students' plans for the homecoming
weekend were ruined. Certainly, more
discretion should be exercised next year
when the Guilford calendar is being com
piled. Homecoming can hardly be suc
cessful if Guilford's friends can not come
home to her.

Editor:
It was implied at the mass meeting
to the girls in the new dorm that they
MUST contribute to the United Fund.
We were told that many of the students
did not contribute because their parents
had already done so, but that this is a
separate campaign, and we should donate
as prompted by our own initiative. If we
were to do this on their own initiative,
should we not also have the right to use
this initiative and not do it at all? When
an adult is being solicited in his own
home for such a cause, lie has the prerog
ative to donate or not. And we were told
that we are now adults, and this in effect,
our home, should we not also have the
right to make this decision?
Let it be understood that we realize
the full extent of the benefits derived
from contributions to the United Fund,
but we also feel that freedom to choose
is very important.
We hope that in the future contribu
tions to such funds will not be manda
tory.

Dear Editor:
1 have just this very minute finished
reading the last issue of your fine paper.
I was particularly interested in the
article entitled "Mabe Speaks." It is
quite pleasing for pie to note that some
one else is having difficulty finding the
new Guilford radio station. Will we have
one, or is this just another one of the
camoaign promises which will not be
kept?

of campus events. If anyone is in
terested in raising his cultural level,
lectures are given each Friday
night, usually to continue the sub
ject of the morning's chapel pro
gram. There is no admission fee and
great variety of presentation is em
phasized.
The Student Legislature decided
to have its Work Day next spring,
and day students will need to en
gage in worthwhile projects—name
ly, painting lines in the parking lot.
Maybe this would eliminate mass
confusion at 8:29 a.m.
The Student Affairs Board re
quires each organization to have
two projects during the year. Each
project must involve all students.
Financial support comes from S.

Got any ideas? If so, please con
tact any of the above members of

Each new college generation has

the fad was stuffing fellows (and

but this latest generation has sur

The Women's Student Council
and all the women students are
very glad to welcome Miss Gene
vieve McCracken to Guilford.
Some innovations in the wom
en's regulations have come with
our new Dean of Women. Restrict
ed students are allowed one-half
hour in the Union every night dur
ing their restriction without per
mission from the dorm president.
Freshmen are able to double-date
with any Guilford woman during
the first semester. Some long-stand
ing regulations have been stressed
again this year. Women students
are urged to adhere to the clothing
rules. Women students are permit
ted to wear sports clothing in the
soda shop of the Student Union,
to intramural spring sports, and
while in transit on campus.
The Council is supporting I.inda
Krauss, the senior representative
from the new girls' dorm, as its
candidate for Homecoming Queen.
Good luck, Linda!
A mass meeting of all women
students is called for October 30,
in Founders basement. Refresh
ments will be served, and attend
ance is requested. (Which means
you had better be there!)
At a recent meeting, the treas
urer's report showed that the
Council is in dire need of funds.
To augment the financial sources,
the Council is selling Krispy Kreme
Doughnuts in the girls' dorms. See
your sophomore or freshman repre
sentatives to get your Sunday
morning snack. They're only sixty
cents a dozen!
The meeting time of the Council
has been changed to suit the needs
of the members. You can find them
deliberating every Monday night
at 6:45 in the Union conference
room.
