15 Homecoming Contestants
Vie For Title on Monday
Homecoming is just around the
fabled corner and we as Guilford
ians must take on the enviable task
of choosing a monarch to reign over
this festive event. This year, as
every year, the campus organiza
tions have nominated the girls
whom they hope will fill the bill.
This year the bill includes fifteen
lovelies, some new and some old,
who will be vying for the top spot.
The prizes include glory, prestige,
honor, acclaim, and a seat on the
fifty-yard line. To assist you in mak
ing a decision as to which of these
young ladies should grace the
throne, the Guilfordian has com
piled the following vital informa
tion on each candidate:
The Choir has chosen Miss Bev
erly Moore as its candidate for
Homecoming Queen. Bev is a sen
ior from Charlotte and a Psych
major. She lists among her current
activities the office of business man
ager of the choir, and chief light
blinker of the New Women's Dorm.
Her hobbies include swimming,
bowling, and serving. Previous
titles held are: best looking and
most popular in high school, and
the title of Miss Room 26, 1962-63.
Next we have Miss Anne Scott,
the sophomores' choice. Anne is an
Elementary Education major and
lives in the New Women's Dormi

Anne was a member of her high
school homecoming court and was
a runner-up in the American Le
gion Beauty Pageant in Pilot
Mountain.
The Cheerleaders are sending
Miss Missy Mills up to bat for
them. Missy is a sophomore from
Bethesda, Md., and resides in the
New Dorm. In 1961, she held the
title of Miss Teen Queen from her
home state. She was a majorette
and a pom-pom girl in high school
and also played on the football
team girls' version, that is.
Missy's hobbies include football,
piano, horseback riding, and mod
eling.
Roe Pierce, a freshman Psych
major from Greensboro, is the
choice of the Young Democrats.
Miss Pierce attended Page High
School where she was a basketball
player for a million years. She was
homecoming maid of honor, and
was voted best looking in her senior
class. Roe was a cheerleader in high
school and is also quite a tennis
player. She ho ds the title of Miss
Flame from the city of Greensboro.
While we're on the subject, Miss

smoke in the Union.

boro girl, is the Quakers represen

alty. Jean resides in the New Dorm

official program of events will be
gin at 11:00 a.m. in Dana Audi
torium with a proposed panel dis
cussion concerning the present and

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.

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.

he learned to walk. He danced in
thn "Cuadros Flamencas" of his
native city, and performed in the
Theatre de l'Etoile and the Palais

lucia with famous singers, finally
joining the company of Rafael de
Cordova in Madrid. With this corn
oanv Rubio toured Greece and
Italv, finally arriving with them in
this country in 1962.
"He plays with a virtuosity and
verve that moves listeners to
bravos and demands for more.
