Pledging responsible leadership,
Carolyn Kirkman won the impor
tant and demanding position of
president of the Women's Student
Council. The High Point native de
feated Lois Chase of Lynn, Mass.,
in a hard-fought campaign.
Four rising seniors offered an
impressive array of past experience
and ran unopposed for the execu
tive council of the Student Legis
lature. Campaigning before the
student body, past treasurer and
presidential candidate David Mil
ler of Salem, New Jersey, cited the
past achievements of the fledgling
legislature. Dave then outlined the
present and anticipated problems
for the coming term and called on
the students as a whole to support
the executive council in the elec
tion and throughout the year. Oth
ers on the ticket were Sandy Brown
of Burlington, Conn., vice-presi
dent; Jane Simpson of Salisbury,
secretary; and Bill Seabrook of
Greensboro, treasurer.
Senior delegates for next year
will be Bert Bennett, Don Foltz,
Sue Brown, and Linda James.

rence Buffaloe, Sam Scott, Katy
Hudgins, and Kay Stabler.
Sophomore delegates will be Jim
Williams and Mary Penn Burton.
Legislature Report
The main discussion at the April
22 meeting of the new Student
Legislature concerned the recent
North State Student Government
Spring Conference. Several repre
sentatives from Guilford attended
the proceedings which were held
at Elon College a few weeks ago.
The Guilford representatives join
ed students from nine other mem
ber colleges in a two-day confer
ence in which they discussed some
of the problems common to small
college campuses. In formal work
shops led by students of the spon
soring school and during informal
discussions, the representatives ex
changed problems and solutions of
student government, social activi
ties, and academic standards.
A proposal that the forthcoming
Spring conference be held at Guil
ford was made at the meeting, but
official action on the proposal will
be taken at the next meeting of the
legislature.
One of the major activities of
the North State Student Govern
ment at this point is an attempt to
set up a competitive academic con
test among the member colleges
much in the same manner of the
televised College Bowl. The idea
is still in the organizational stage
while proposals are being made to
the various colleges which would
be participating, but the NSSGA
is hoping to have the plan in action
by next year.

Programs by
College Choir
On May 12, the Guilford College
A Capella Choir, directed by Mr.
Jerry Smyre, will present Brahm's
Requiem. The performance will
take place at four o'clock in the af
ternoon at Dana Auditorium, and
admission will be free.
This is the first time that the
choir has presented the Requiem.
Although they have had only a
month to practice this difficult
work, it is expected that the per
formance will be very well done.
Soloists for the work will be
Jimmie Hedgecock, baritone, and
Cinny White, soprano. Mr. Claude
Cook will be accompanist at the
organ.
The Requiem was one of Brahms'
greatest compositions. It was com
pleted in 1869, and its first per
formance made Brahms' work fa
mous. The Requiem was composed
in memory of Brahms' great friend,
Bobert Schumann, who had died
in 1856. Jerry Smyre says of the
work, "I think it is one of the most
beautiful pieces of music that has
ever been written. I have always
wanted to conduct it."
On May 13, six baritones and
five tenors from the choir will be
participating with Woman's Col
lege and High Point College in
presenting the Fame Requiem.
The North Carolina Symphony will
be accompanying the concert,
whch will be held in Aycock Audi
torum at Woman's College.

ment. Harriet Huber was elected
managing editor.

Krauss to Reign
Over May Day
'63 Festivities
This weekend the Guilford Col
lege campus will suddenly come to
life in its annual eruption known
as May Day. This eagerly-awaited
event is the highlight of the spring
social calendar, the celebration of
the coming of the May.
The day begins bright and early
with the jaunt of the diaper-clad
freshmen. Starting in front of Cox
Hall the runners are routed past
the women's dorms where they re
ceive encouragement from wide
eyed co-eds. Men's May Day then
gets into full swing with the pre
sentation of humorous skits which
are written and performed by each
dorm or section. The skits are then
judged and awards are made for
the most humorous and original
presentation.
Following the completion of the
men's salute to May, the proceed
ings are interrupted by Saturday
morning classes. In the afternoon
the main event of the day takes
place. This is the girls' May Day
pageant. The Guilford lovelies, be
decked in colorful costumes, pre
sent an afternoon of music and
dance culminating in the crowning
of the Queen of the May and her
court. The fair Linda Krauss of
Garden City, New York, is the
reigning monarch of this year's
May Day.
In the waning hours, couples
clad in formal attire will beat a
path to Guilford's Golden Ballroom
to dance away the last fleeting mo
ments of the day. As it is every
year, May Day is sure to be a me
morable and gay day for all from
beginning to end.

NUMBER 8
For a full week the campus was
covered with campaign posters
urging support for each ticket. Ray
and Larry urged votes for "mature
and responsible" leadership. Bob
and Gary's posters made frequent
use of poetry to promote their tick
et.
The campaign was punctuated
by a number of novel incidents. At
one evening meal, diners found
every napkin stamped "Davidson
and York." On the eve of election
day, fifteen or twenty of the girls
marched into the cafeteria with an
immense sign proclaiming their
support for Ray and Larry. Posters
appeared in numerous strange and
inaccessible places. Signs were
suspended from the ceiling of
Dana Auditorium and hung from
the roof of the Union.
The climax of the campaign
came on Wednesday morning,
April 3, when speeches by all the
major candidates were given in
Dana Auditorium. Interest and en
thusiasm ran high as each candi
date appealed for the support of
the student body.
Election day, April 4, saw one
of the best turnouts in recent years
as the students gave the nod to the
team of Bob Davidson and Gary
York.
Bob Davidson, a rising senior
from Statesville, has served as a
dorm representative for the past
year and is a Dana Scholar. Gary,
a husky rising senior from White
Plains, New Jersey, won renown
last fall on the football team.
