VOLUME XLIX
Broad Development Planned by Trustees
Rules Updated
By Legislature
The Student Legislature this year
has been very active in its func
tions of coordinating campus or
ganizations, creating new legisla
tion to keep up with the times, and
representing the views and ideas of
the student liody to faculty and ad
ministration.
The Constitution Committee of
the Legislature is in the process of
revising the Student Government
Constitution to include the Social
Committee as a subsidiary organi
zation of the Student Legislature.
This act will provide for closer co
ordination between the two bodies
and will bring the Social Commit
tee into the actual Government or
ganization. The Committee is also
seeking to have on record the con
stitutions of all student organiza
tions on campus.
The Legislature's Traffic Com
mittee has been extremely effective
this year. Early in the year it was
armed with new up-to-date legisla
tion which provided for a stricter
enforcement of campus regulations.
The Legislature has also recently
completed a new set of regulations
concerning motorcycles, which will
be under the authority of the Traf
fic Committee.
Earlier in the year a joint meet
ing of the Legislature, the Men s
Student Council and the Women's
Student Council resolved numerous
proposals which were brought be
fore the Committee on Counseling.
As a result of this meeting a few
changes have been or will be put
into effect, such as: a new and more
convenient method of family-style
serving to go into effect next se
mester; more lighting installed
along the walks; and a drive to at
tempt to remedy the sloppy condi
tion of the Soda Shop.

WSC Rules Pending
Lillian Davis, president of the
Women's Student Legislature, has
anonunced that the proposed rules
changes discussed and voted upon
by the women students, are pres
ently in the hands of the Commit
tee on Counseling.
These changes involve liberaliza
tion of campus regulations which
will remove what has been said to
be unnecessary restrictions now in
effect against the women students.
These changes involve ten of the
fourteen articles now in the present
constitution. Included in the pro
posals are the following:
Removal of the section of Article
1 which states that special permis
sion must be granted from home for
each instance in which a woman
student will return from a ball
game at an hour after 12 midnight.
Removal of the portion of Article
111 which states that "Freshmen do
not leave campus alone or with a
date. They must be accompanied
by another freshman or upperelass
man throughout the first semester."
Removal of a portion of section
2, Article V. This states that ber
mudas and slacks can be worn on
hikes and picnics, only with the
permission of the House President.
Removal of the permission clause
is suggested.
Removal of Article VI, section D.
This states that "women should not

Dana Scholars
Do Research
by ANDY HINES
For the past several years the
Dana scholars have undertaken va
rious study projects, and this year
the scholars are concerned with
procuring supplementary materials
which will be used as teaching aids
in connection with the World Cul
ture Center.
Under the direction of Dean At
well and Dean Mellaney, each
•scholar shall determine what he
feels to be a major aspect or contri
bution in his chosen field of study,
and then shall suggest major as
pects or contributions. Supplement
ary materials include such things as
motion picture films which could
bo scenic, dramatic, scientific, or
interpretative. Also included would
be filmstrips, slides, recordings and
works of art.
The idea is to locate and procure
those materials which will best
portray, characterize, or facilitate
the understanding of a particular
individual, idea or concept, and use
these supplementary materials as
teaching aids.
But this is not restricted to the
World Culture Center To Be Bub Of Learning
C. Elmer Leak, distinguished
citizen of Greensboro and alumnus
of Guilford College, has given
funds for construction of the World
Culture Center in the proposed
new classroom building at Guilford
College. The World Culture Center
will occupy the entire first floor of
one wing of the building. Cost is
estimated at $100,000.00. The pur
pose of the World Culture Center
will be to interpret the cultural re
source program at Guilford College
as outlined in the publication, "An
Introduction To The Cultural Re
source Program At Guilford Col
lege." Of almost equal importance
the World Culture Center will be
used extensively in a program of
continuing adult education de
signed to meet the needs of the
Greensboro community.
The Guilford College core curric
ulum, consisting of sixty hours of
tool and cultural resource courses
and required of all students regard
less of major, is designed to make
the liberal arts graduate intelli
gently conversant with the culture
of his civilization so that he can
enter more fully into, and contrib
ute more significantly to, his social
responsibilities. Despite the fact
that teachers are continually en
couraged to emphasize the threads
that have been woven together
over the centuries to form our pres
ent civilization, there is a tendency
to treat the various fields as iso
lated entities or separate compart
ments. It is believed that the body
of knowledge contained in the core
linger in cars with men when they
return from riding together."

of emergency causing delay past
the closing hour, the dean of wom-

Dana scholars alone. Each scholar,
I am sure, would welcome criticism
and suggestions from faculty and
students alike on any phase of this
study. The World Culture Center
is going to be a significant addition
to the Guilford College scene and

part of it if you have, in some way,
contributed to it.
curriculum can be taught more ef
fectively with the facilities in the
World Culture Center. Particularly
it is believed that this facility will
enable teachers to show more clear
ly how cultural development in the
various categories, such as philos
ophy, religion, science, and the cre
ative arts, are inter-related. When
this is done, the interest and sense
of purpose of all students will be
greatly increased as they are shown
graphically that developments in
each category and in each succeed
ing chronological period in history
were based in a marked degree on
what had been done before, that
the cultural heritage we know to
day is the product of creative think
ing over several thousand years,
and that the present will have an
equally strong effect on the future.
For example, an instructor in as
tronomy will not only be able to
show how his science developed
from Ptolemy to Copernicus to
Galileo to Herschel to Shapley, but
will also be able to point out how
the social, philosophical, religious
and scientific influences of his pe
riod affected the thinking of each
of these great figures in astronomy.
Thus the student will be made
more aware of the true purpose of
a liberal arts education, and his

fEndowment To Be Raised To $7,000,000
By 1972; Enrollment To Remain Same
Upon completion of the five con
struction projects involved in the
Charles A. Dana Challenge Pro
gram—the new men's dormitory,
the new women's dormitory, the
new power plant, the addition to
the dining hall and the addition to
the library—the Guilford College
Board of Trustees has adopted a
broad development program look
ing toward its completion in 1972.
This program will include develop
ment in the areas of endowment
and enrollment.
It is desired to increase the per
manent endowment of the college
from $2,610,710 to a minimum of
$7,000,000. This increase will make
possible much of the proposed in
crease in strength of faculty and
number of volumes in the library.
It will also enable the college to
continue and improve its establish
ed policy of assisting faculty mem
bers in the pursuit of advanced
degrees.
Enrollment on the Guilford Col
lege campus will remain at the
present level of 850 students so
that the college policy of providing
individual attention for each stu
college experience will be more
meaningful.
The World Culture Center will
contain electrically-operated audio
visual aids designed especially for
interpretation of the cultural re
source program at Guilford. With
these specially designed aids it will
be possible to show:
a. Chronologically and by cat
egory the individuals who have
made major contributions to the
development of civilization.
b. The ebb and flow of cultural
emphasis throughout the various
historical periods since 3,000 B.C.
and the reasons for ebb and flow.
c. Examples of creative and ar
tistic efforts—painting, sculpture,
architecture, music, drama and lit
erature.
d. Examples of major scientific
developments.
e. Historical, biographical and
scientific films.
f. The ideas and movements
which have influenced the course
of cultural developments.
Seating in the Center will be on
a circular platform which can be
rotated 360 degrees so that stu
dents can face directly any of the
permanent electronic exhibits or
either of two exhibit-control lec
terns.

dent can be maintained. It is in
tended that present dormitory ac
commodations will be fully used
and that the resident student body
will be maintained at 750 students;
100 day students will be accepted
each year. Enrollment in the
Greensboro Division will be allow
ed to increase as the demand in
creases to a maximum of 2,000, a
number which can be accommo
dated adequately with present fa
cilities.
The full-time teaching faculty
at the college campus will be in
creased to 60, with an additional
12 faculty members who will divide
their teaching responsibility with
the Greensboro Division. The fac
ulty salary range will be doubled
during this decade of development.
Present space in the college li
brary will make it possible to in
crease the number of books to
80,000 by the addition of 2,500
carefully selected volumes each
year. Reading rooms and other li
brary facilities are considered ade
quate for a student body of 850. '
Present plans call for renovation
of Memorial Hall so that offices for
members of the college faculty will
be available. The renovation will
include remodeling of the entrance
to the building and remodeling of
the second floor.
Within the next several years
the Administration-C lass r o o m
Building will be erected. This pro
posed structure will provide offices
for the college administration and
will include 10 general purpose
classrooms. Also included will be
such other teaching facilities as are

Quakers Open CC Play
With Victory Over Pfeiffer
Scott Gets 22 in 55-51 Win
by HANK SIEGEL
MISENHEIMER, Dec. B —Guilford
College opened Carolinas Confer
ence play Tuesday night with a
thrilling 55-51 victory over the Fal
cons of Pfeiffer College.
After four straight wins over Dix
ie Conference teams Guilford
passed what was regarded as its
first major test of the season. In
doing so the Quakers heat a team
whose starting five featured four
seniors and a junior.
From the opening whistle to the
closing buzzer both teams em
ployed a tenacious pressing de
fense. As a result there was never
more than a five-point difference in
the teams' scores.
The first half was a see-saw bat
tle as the lead switched hands sev
en times. With 3:35 left in the half
and with Pfeiffer ahead 25-22, Guil
ford made a bid to take the lead by
halftime.
John Brooks hit a shot from close
range and Lloyd Turlington fol
lowed with a jump-shot. The Quak
ers now led 26-25 with 1:41 remain
ing. But it was all in vain as Pfeif
fer's Danny Carver layed in John
Miller's pass to give the Falcons a
27-26 halftime lead.
Guilford came out of the locker
room and reclaimed the lead as
Lloyd Turlington, followed by
Chuck Scott, put in lay-ups, mak
ing the score 30-27. Guilford kept
the lead until 14:41 to go. At that
point big Bob Kauffman committed
his fourth personal foul, and left
the game. It seemed to take some-
