VOLUME XLVII
Leah Harris to Go Abroad
For New Living Experiment
By KAREN BALDWIN
The Experiment in International Living was founded in 1932 as a
private non-profit organization in the field of international education.
The philosophy of the experiment is that significant advances toward
world peace can be made at the individual level, by introducing th?
people of one country to the people of another country through the
basic social structure of the family. The essential feature of each Ex
periment program, therefore, is approximately one month spent living
as a member of a foreign family, in the pure meaning of the word
foreign. The approach, undoubtedly, is realistic, but it is a practical
idealism acknowledging that each nation has its own perspective on its
problems, and that this perspective can only be fully understood when
observed from within, from the viewpoint of its own people. This typ:
of idealism thrives on the realization that it is not the similarities be
tween people of various countries that are important, but the differ
ences and that a mature and intelligent recognition of these differences
is a major step towards understanding and appreciating another people
and another culture. Experiment groups are not introduced to another
people as tourists; they meet a country on its own terms, and see it
through the eyes of its nationals.
Despite the fact that the Experiment is basically an educational
program, educating the people of one country to live with the people
of another, it is not primarily a highly refined intellectual experience.
The homestay is as much an emotional and visceral experience as it is
an exercise in tact, understanding and adaptability. The challenge it
presents is constant; the
it can provide depend entirely on
the individual.
One of the individuals who will
take part in the Experiment this
summer is Leah Harris, a rising
N. C. senior. Leah became actively
interested in the Experimenl
through Dr. Pete Moore and made
application last March. Just a few
days ago she was informed that
she had been one of the many
applicants accepted for that part
of th Exp rim nt which is tc
take place in England this sum
mer. She will spend approximately
two months with her Experiment
group in England. Part of her
time will be spent living with an
English family, and the remainder
will be spent traveling around the
country with her Experiment
group. One member of the family
with which she has been living
will travel with her and the rest
of the group since there will be
no remuneration to the family for
her stay. Previous to her depart
ure, Leah will take part in an ori
entation program with the rest of
the group in which will be dis
cussed the culture, customs, poli
tics, and language of the host
country. At the end of the Experi
ment, she and the rest of the
American group will spend four or
five days in a major city of the
country, sightseeing and learning
further about the culture of the
host country.
Leah is presently the secretary
for the S.C.A., and next year she
will assume the full responsibilities
of senior representative from
Hobbs to the W.S.C., May Day
Chairman, and marshal. She is
proficient at the piano and at
dress-making and enjoys outdoor
sports. There are a number of im
pressive reasons for going that one
could offer, but Leah simply says,

Men's May Day
Is Great Success;
Gentility Plus?
May Day festivities began very
early for some of Guilford's more
ambitious and energetic young
men as they began constructing
new walks to facilitate transit be
tween the bookstore and the sun
dial, painting the traffic signs and
trash cans for easy identification
by the visitors, and posting pic
tures of some of the campus ce
lebrities on the doors of frequently
used buildings in honor of the
festivities.
These preparations completed
by the time the sun rose, the boys
launched into a well-organized
program of tastefully rendered
skits taken from well-known fairy
tales for the enjoyment of the
young children and professors in
the audience. Under the direction
of the new M.S.C. officers, the
boys spent several weeks prepar
ing their presentation in honor of
the coming of the May. Each
group presenting a skit was care
fully rehearsed in the course of
mass practices held every night in
the gym for the two weeks pre
ceding the actual presentation. By
preparing and rehearsing in ad
vance of the actual performance,
the boys were able to eliminate
the distasteful elements which
were so prevalent in last year's
production and present a highly
entertaining program full of ma
ture wit and delightful puns of
which even our "royalty" could
be proud. Congratulations go to
the boys who were instrumental
in preparing and presenting the
early morning enjoyment, and to
all the participants who worked
so hard to start this year's May
Day off right.
Fine Arts Program
I O
jimmy White, president of the
Fine Arts Club, directed a talented
r ast of Guilford musicians in an
accomplished recital of fine musi
cal achievements.
The material included three so

Justice and Jimmy Williams. Mar
sha Breitenhirt and Mrs. W. T.
English displayed a delightful
nbilitv at the organ. Judy Hill
ndded an interesting testimony to
Tschaikowskv's "Troika." By far
the most brilliant performance of
f he night flowed from the sensitive
fin"ers of Roberta Davies as she
i played Khachaturian's "Toccata."

statement of policy to the student
body for approval. The statement
concerned the actions of Guilford

actions. Such actions by individual
students either for or against the
issue are not sponsored by the
Student Body of Guilford Col

Dana Challenge
Is Sparked By
Division Challenge
On Monday, May 13, Dave Mil
ler, president of the Student Leg
islature, announced in convoca
tions that Guilford College ac
cepts the challenge of the Greens
boro Division in the fund-raising
drive for the Dana Challenge. The
Greensboro Division, in their
newspaper Frontier Phoenix, chal
lenged the campus to a "campaign
contest" in raising money for the
Challenge.
The campaign is directed to
wards the faculty, the administra
tion and the students. The goal
for the students is SI3,(XX). The
WSC, MSC and Day Students'
Council have agreed to organize
uul carry out the campaign.
BACKGROUND OF THE DANA
CHALLENGE
In the spring of 1961, Mr.
Charles A. Dana, prominent New
York financier and philanthropist,
presented the city of Greensboro
and the Board of Trustees with a
challenge: if the businessmen and
industrialists of Greensboro and
the Board of Trustees of the col
lege would each raise S7SO,(XX) for
the college, Mr. Dana would con
tribute a third S7SO,(XX) himself.
The challenge was accepted: the
Greensboro Associates was set up
to handle the campaign among
the businessmen and both they
and the Board set up an intensive
campaign to raise the funds.
By December of last year, the
Greensboro Associates had raised
more than half of their amount,
and Mr. Danna had already con
tributed S4OO,(XX) of his donation
in order to get the building pro
gram started. But the Board of
Trustees had raised only slightly
over $260,000.
In January of 1963, Mr. Dana
wrote to the Board of Trustees,
emphasizing that this money would
have to be raised promptly. An
intensive campaign was immedi
ately set up. A professional fund
raiser from Chicago was retained to
direct the campaign. Contacts were
made with alumni, Quaker church
es across the stat°, and friends of
the college everywhere.
On Monday evening, Dr. Milner
personally addressed the men stu
dents in the New Men's Dorm to
explain the campaign. The re
sponse from most was enthusi
astic.
As the week of the campaign
came to an end, well over half of
the goal had been reached, and it
was anticipated that the total
would surpass the goal.
