OCTOBER 25, 1963 Biophile Club Has Display in King Hall This Week By BULL SEABROOK Presently, the Biophile Club has a display on the nervous system of the shark in King Hall. It is one of the first in a line of such displays which the club hopes will stimulate interest in nature and life. The value of the display serves to demonstrate the interrelatedness of the courses in our core curricu lum program. For example, it bene fits students in psychology by en abling them to verify their readings and spoken concepts. It is hoped that this integrated knowledge will help students overcome depart ments 1-mindedness. For the freshmen, it provides more of an interest in their envir onment. Closeness to natural life through actual contact certainly broadens the general sphere of knowledge and stimulates a true awareness of their new world. Such an awareness paves the way to a better understanding of the pur pose of the liberal arts program. The effects of this program are felt with equal strength in all depart ments of which the core curriculum is f he foundation. All else is built upon this unifying factor. Elective courses support the core curricu lum which in turn enables students to receive the tools to dig into the breadth of man's knowledge. The liberal arts program pre pares students for graduate scnool especially well. That there is dan ger in too much specialization was witnessed at the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology a few years ago. After seeing highly intelligent graduate students become traitors to the United States, M.I.T. revised ita whole curriculum to include a liberal arts program. It became clear that greatly specialized train ing does not include the teaching of real values to cope with life. Of the many reasons students have for choosing a liberal arts col lege, two seem particularly com mon. The first centers around the idea of broadening oneself not only intellectually, but culturally, mor ally, and spiritually as well. The second attraction is found in the relative smallness of the average liberal arts school. There is con stant opportunity to know profes sors personally and to have a real rapport with those whose interests are compatible with the students'. The real death to a liberal art* college is lack of money. The ques tion arises: if this sort of school i c attractive, why don't state colleges support them? The answer lies in the taxpayers who chiefly object to paying for a "non-practical" edu cation. However, it has been seen more frequently than not that this kind of "non-practical" education produces a great multitude of sound citizens. The truest value of four years at a liberal arts school lies in the prod uct. If students can satisfactorily think before speaking and acting and come up with a fair average of wise decisions, then the aims of Guilford and her sister schools are worthwhile. Convention Held Last week-end a Friends School Day was held in Moorestown, New Jersey. This was a convention of educational leaders of Friends sec ondary schools in the northern United States. There were 650 edu cators present at the convention, including Charles Hendricks, Clyde A. Milner, and three other Guilford alumni. Iberian Dance Theater Entertains Here Today ANTONIO SANTAELLA Student Legislature Vetoes Proposal The Student Legislature held its second meeting of the semester on October 10, 1963. The opening for malities completed, a report was heard from Mary Penn Burton on the prospective College Bowl pro gram being formulated by a com mittee from the North State Stu dent Government Association of which Guilford is now an active member. It is reported that Dr. Purdom would be the faculty ad visor for this inter-college program. Representatives to the NSSGA were elected: Bill Pleasants, Alvis Campbell, Katy Hutchins and Kay Stabler. Mary Davis Riddle, a sophomore from fayetteville, a cheerleader and a member of the legislature body, was nominated as the Home coming candidate. A decision was reached at this meeting to provide an information sheet including important decisions of the legislature which would be distributed to all students, facili tating the circulation of informa tion for the Guilforilian. After the completion of the regu lar business and reports, Dean Redding proposed a system of hosts and hostesses, to be initiated in the cafeteria at Founders, for integrat ing the seating arrangements dur ing the evening meal. He proposed that there should be a male and female student leader assigned to each table in the cafeteria who would invite students coming into the cafeteria for the evening meal to join them for dinner. The pur oose behind this proposal was to break up the groups of students who would normally eat together and to promote a more friendly at mosphere in the cafeteria during the family-style meals. Following his proposal, discus sion from the floor was entertained by the president, Dave Miller, dur ing which several of the problems of initiating such a program were voiced. Many students interested in participating in the discussion of this proposal were present at the meeting and it was brought out during the discussion that the num ber of student leaders required to facilitate this program would ex ceed the number of official student leaders on campus and that the purpose of the idea would be de feated because the students who normally eat together would arrive at the cafeteria in a group and would therefore still be eating to gether. After the discussion, a vote was called for and the motion was unanimously defeated by the mem bers of the legislature. After Dean Redding's proposal was considered and voted upon the meeting was adjourned by the pres ident David Miller.
