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

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.
He succeeds Carl
W. Galloway who
was granted a
leave of absence to
study toward his
doctorate at the
University
The new boss of the registration
office is a graduate of this institu
tion and is therefore no stranger
to its inner workings. He received
his Masters degree in education at
Carolina and also did extensive re
search work in the field of statis
tics. His extensive background in
mathematics and education make
him an excellent choice to fill the
vacancy left by Mr. Galloway,
since the registrar's work requires
the utmost in patience and pre
cision.
Mr. Reynolds feels that he will
enjoy his new position very much
in that it allows him to maintain
his contact with the students while
performing one of the most impor
tant functions at any college. He
will also continue teaching on a
limited basis. Mr. Reynolds' relia
bility and personable character as
sure him of success as Cuilford's
registrar.
International Day

Convocations on Monday, Feb
ruary 11th, featured students from
five continents. Antartiea and Aus

The program was opened with

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.

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.
