Biophile Club Has Great Expectations The Biophile Club's first project was an attempt at getting a collec tion of all living reptiles and am phibians of North Carolina. Dtie to the work of ten people, the display of reptiles and amphibians, which was given in the annex during the week of December third, was a success; over three hundred people attended. This first project was one of many projects planned for the future. The next project is to dis play a collection of stuffed birds donated to Guilford College by T. Gilbert Pearson, who was a grad uate of Guilford College and foun der and president of the Interna tional Audubon Society. In the near future the movie "Living Des ert" will be shown in the Uniion on a Sunday night. The Biophile Club is interested in the ethnical rather than the tech nical aspect of biology. Its pur pose is to promote an interest, ap preciation and knowledge of living organisms in their native environ ment and in captivity. The club is striving for the establishment of a natural history museum, a bo tanical garden, a greenhouse, an arboretur, a wildflower preserve, and biological station on the cam pus of Guilford College and to have the whole campus established as a wildlife sanctuary. Through the medium of movies, lectures, demonstrations and other media the club hopes to promote an edu cational program for the benefit of the members, Guilford College community itself, and the local community. Field trips to points near and far will be conducted for the purpose of forming a better acquaintance with flora, fauna and geology of the region. The Biophile Club received a letter from the National Audubon (Continued on page 3, column 5) GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 22, 1963 Reynolds Replaces C. W. Galloway As Guilford Registrar Mr. Floyd A. Reynolds, known to most Guilfordians as an accom plished mathematics instructor, has been appointed to the office of Regis trar of the College.

International Day In Chapel Program Convocations on Monday, Feb ruary 11th, featured students from five continents. Antartiea and Aus tralia are the only two continents which are not represented here at Guilford. The program was opened with the Balladeers (Randy Ihara and Ike Wrenn) doing a Scottish folk song. Dr. Floyd (Pete) Moore took over as master of ceremonies by relating to the audience the number of students from the var ious countries. Syria, he said, took the lead this year with five stu dents. Cuba has four enrolled; Chile, one; Kenya, two; Korea, two; and England, Belgium and Denmark, one each. Ayub Watakila was the first for eign student to be introduced. He came to Guilford from Kenya, Afri ca. A soccer player, Ayub (job) attended a Friends school in his native country and was graduated in 1955. He was married in 1960. Ayub's fellow countryman, Wash ington Rakama, graduated from a Kenyan school in 1957 and taught for three years. With Washington on the drum (he questioned the effectiveness) and Ayub on the gui tar, the duo combined talents for a Kenyan song. Mutaz Kawaori was introduced following the Kenyan duet. Mutaz comes to us from Damascus, Sy ria, along with three other new students: Arfan, Haythim and Sa lim. These, together with Muham mad Abdul Majid Tayyarah fill out the Syrian roster. Bu Choon Chung and Hyoung Chu Kim from Seoul, Korea, were next on the morning program. Bu did a Korean dance with the music provided by a Korean record that she had brought with her.

Also attending Guilford from the island of Cuba is Mario Aviles. Noted Singers Appear NUMBER 7 ' Four fraternity brothers from Phi Gamma Delta came to Guil ford last week-end. They carried with them cases containing two guitars, a banjo and a bass fiddle. Performing in Dana Auditorium on Saturday night before an audi ence of approximately eight hun dred people, they sang folk songs which they had arranged to fit their own style. Singing under the name of the Brothers Four for the Columbia Recording Company, they sang from 8:15 p. m. until 10:- 20 p. m. Although they were not as much a financial success as was hoped, the Brothers Four were perhaps the most appreciated entertainment that has been to Guilford College in recent years. The group was brought here as a fund-raising pro ject initiated by the Junior Class to pay for the coming Junior-Senior Banquet. Their songs ranged from the se rious ballads, "Greenfields" and "Green Leaves of Summer" to their own comical renditions of "San Miguel," "John Henry," and "Rock Island Line." Also included in their repertory was a satire on Rock 'n' Roll and a catchy number called "Twenty-five Minutes to Go." Some of the comments that were made by the students when asked what they thought about the show were: "We ought to have something like that more often," and "I reallv enjoyed it; it's too bad we didn't make some money on it. I think it was worth it though." All the com ments were in favor of the per formance. Not one negative re sponse was heard. Sponsored by the Junior Class, the Brothers Four left here to con tinue their tour around the coun try leaving a wake of laughter and enjoyment behind them. Perhaps sometime in the near future some class will sponsor another such eve ning for the students and friends of Guilford College. THOUGHT FOR THE WEAK "Some colleges are filled with people who put their mouths in high gear, their minds in neutral, and take off." E. L.
