Brothers Four to Perform in Dana
The Brothers Four, a nationally
known folk song quartet, will per
form in the Charles A. Dana Audi
torium Thursday evening, February
14, at 8:00 o'clock.
They are being sponsored by the
junior class in an effort to raise
money for future class activities and
to foster an interest in bringing
more well-known performers to the
stage of our beautiful new audi
torium.
The members of the Brothers
Four are John Paine, Dick Foley,
Mike Kirkland, and Bob Flick, who
joined the ranks of America's top
singing groups a few years ago dur
ing their college days at the Univer
sity of Washington.
The group is not of the folkier
than-thou, authenticity-plus school
of performers in the field, nor are
they dilettantes in the art of melodi
ous folklore. Rather, they are active
participants in the current wave of
folk singing connoisseurs by virtue
of their using old folk songs as basic
material for the original adapta
tions that have made them popular
on college campuses from coast to
coast.
Since all four were residents of
the Seattle area, they had occasion
to meet on the campus of the Uni
versity of Washington in October
of 1958. They were compatible,
musically inclined, and brothers in
the same fraternity, Phi Gamma
Delta. They began playing together
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 8, 1963
for parties and informal gatherings
and found that they had an excel
lent group rapport which augment
ed their arrangements and helped
to to boost their popularity.
John Paine had plans to become a
lawyer and was setting his sights on
a profession in the U. S. Diplomatic
Corps. With an interest in science,
Dick Foley was planning to go into
engineering after graduation from
the university. Mike Kirkland was
studying medicine. Bob Flick was
preparing for a career in radio and
television management. But their
future vocations have taken second
place to their present occupation in
the field of entertainment.
Their professional status was
achieved after a mysterious phone
call from a mischievous co-ed at the
university got them a job at the
Colony Club in Seattle. Since their
first appearance they have per
formed in cabarets and on campus
es across the nation and have cut
singles and L. P.'s for the Columbia
Becording Company.
Although none has had formal
musical training, or can read music,
they all play one or more instru
ments, mostly stringed, and they
make all their own arrangements.
Interestingly enough, these four
young men are not stalwart de
votees to their profession. They are
easy-going, fun-loving boys whose
personal interests are as varied as
their repertoire. Bob Flick, who
plays the bass violin, is also an ama
teur magician and a skilled pup
peteer. Mike Kirkland, the blond
tenor of the Brothers Four, is adept
at water sports and takes flying les
sons. John Paine, the one-time
prospective member of the National
Bar Association, was a page in the
United States Senate for two ses
sions, and is a skilled amateur
photographer who does some of
the photography and publicity for
the group. Dick Foley, the dark
Irish tenor of the group, plays five
musical instruments. In addition to
the organ, piano, banjo, ukelele and
tenor guitar, Dick is proficient with
instruments in the kitchen. All four
enjoy cavorting in and around the
water and skin-diving together.

Plain and Fa
On the evenings of March 14, 15,
and 16, the Revelers Club of Guil
ford College will present a musical
comedy entitled Plain and Fancy. It
will be under the direction of Mr.
Donald M. Deagon and Jerry
Smyre.
The setting of the story is a small
town in the Amish country of Penn
sylvania called Bird-in-Hand. Dan,
played by Pat Larracey, is a young
New Yorker who travels to Bird-in-
Hand with his uppity girl friend
Ruth. Darlene Brigance was cast
for the role of Ruth.
The New Yorkers made the trip
to the plain world of the Pennsyl
vania Dutch in order to sell a piece
of land that the young man had in-
Honor Board
Convictions
This axticle will purposely at
tempt to describe in the view of the
Honor Board two principle causes
for conviction which deserve clari
fication. One matter concerns pla
giarism particularly appropriate to
those students involved in the task
of a senior thesis. The other matter
involves collaboration on academic
work.
First of all, plagiarism is a form
of theft; that is to say, plagiarism is
unrightfully using another person's
work for one's own gain. The Guil
ford College Honor Board main
tains that any three words in suc
cession taken from another source
must be quoted and footnoted. This
is very important to keep in mind
that any three used in succession
must be quoted and footnoted.
Equally important is the require
ment that all ideas, whether or not
directly quoted, must be given ref
erence, primarily in the form of
footnotes. Should a "guilty" verdict
be determned by the Honor Board,
the first offense results in an "F" in
the course; the second offense re
sults in suspension from school.
The second concern of the Honor
Board is that of collaboration on
academic work. This problem is al
ways the underlying cause of some
cases. No student is to lend his
paper to another student prior to
the time that the papers are due,
especially on the pretense of "giv
ing him some ideas on how to ap
proach the problem." If a student
does lend his paper in this manner,
he runs the risk of having his paper
copied word-for-word or idea-for
idea. In such a case, both the stu
dent who copied the other student's
work and the student who loaned
the paper are subject to "guilty"
judgment by the Honor Board.
Please keep this information
available to you. Cut this article out
of your copy of The Guilfordian,
make your own copy of this article,
or in some other way keep this ma
terial available for your own refer
ence. The Honor Board assumes
that ignorance is no excuse. The
Honor Board is a counseling body
and should be regarded as a princi
pal source of advice. Should you
have any questions concerning pla
giarism, collaboration, or any other
matter pertaining to our Honor Sys
tem, please feel free to speak with
John Huffman, Brenda Ferguson,
Carol Hunter, David Miller, Nancy
Angotti, Elwood Parker, Mr. Zopf,
or Mr. Smyre.

herited. The "quaint customs and
stern morals" of the natives cause
quite a lot of humorous conflicts
with the strangers.
Their arrival to the small town
came one day before the wedding
of the young Amish couple, Ezra
(Ken Miller) and Katy (Beverly
Moore).
Others cast for prominent roles in
the play are Jimmy Hedgecock as
Peter, Lloyd Eastlack as Papa
Yoder, Judy Jones as Hilda, and
Virginia White as Hilda. As of this
writing, the remainder of the parts
in the play have not been complete
ly decided upon, but the next Guil
fordian will carry a full list of those
participating in the production of
Plain and Fancy.
