Herbert Reid Receives National
Science Foundation Award
Herbert G. Reid, Assistant Pro
fessor of Political Science at Guih
ford College, has been awarded a
Science Faculty Fellowship by the
National Science Foundation. It
was one of approximately 350 Fel
lowships that were awarded by the
Foundation on December 6. The
Foundation is granting the Fellow
ships as a means of improving the
teaching of science in colleges and
universities in the United States.
The primary purpose of the awards
is to provide an opportunity for
science and social science teachers
to enhance their effectiveness as
teachers.
Mr. Reid's Fellowship, which he
will use to complete his doctoral
program, will require him to take
a leave of absence next year.
A good deal of Reid's writing has
been concerned with the work of
the late Morris Raphael Cohen,
Professor of Philosophy at the City
College of New York. Reid did his
masters thesis on the work of Cohen
and in the spring or summer of 1966
he will have published in the Jour
nal of Legal Education (the quar

Guilford Has Three Fraternities
Although Guilford prohibits the
establishment of chapters of nation
al social fraternities on its campus,
there have recently been estab
lished three fraternities of a sort.
Two of diese are honorary, and one
is a service organization.
Alpha Psi Omega
Alpha Psi Omega is a national
honorary dramatics fraternity. Its
membership consists of outstanding
college students who are interested
and active in dramatics.
Admission is on the basis of
points; the accumulation of fifty is
requisite for eligibility for member
ship. These points are accumulated
by some sort of participation in a
dramatic production either on
stage, behind the scenes, or both.
Guilford's chapter was organized
in the fall of 1963, and its faculty
advisor is Mr. Donald Deagon. At
the moment there are seven mem
bers. Nestus Gurley is President,
and Max Rinehardt is Vice-presi
dent and business manager.
The chapter works very closely
with the Revelers' Club and the
Dramatic Council, and is especially
involved with plays on tour.
They serve refreshments at inter
missions during dramatic perform
ances, and last year presented
awards for the best actor, the best
actress, the best supporting actor
and the best supporting actress, as
well as the best all-around actor to
persons who had participated in
Revelers' Club productions.
This group is very active behind
stage in Dana, and work of its mem
bers is very essential to the success
ful presentation of each production.
Alpha Phi Omega
Dedicated to the principles of
"Leadership, Friendship, and Serv
ice," a campus chapter of Alpha
Phi Omega, national service fra
ternity, has recently been organized
here, and is indeed only now in the
process of organizing. Approximate
ly twenty-seven men have joined,
and the charter hopes to receive its
charter by late April, 1966, depend
ing on the completion of a number
of projects. Officers elected were
Ray Perry, President; Dave Rob
erts, Vice-president; Barry Smith,
Secretary; Ric Irwin, Treasurer;
Phil Pollet, Historian; and Tim
Tufts, Sergeant-at-Arms. The fra
ternity will have three faculty ad-

The first project that the new
chapter has sponsored was a Christ

Americans fighting in Viet Nam.
Requested were razor blades, pa

other practical items that we enjoy
in abundance, but that are often
scarce in Viet Nam. These were to
be placed in large collection boxes
situated at various places around
the campus and in the Quaker Vil

Christmas Dance
Held; Queen Is
Crowned
The Monogram Club held its an
nual Christmas dinner dance on
Saturday, Dec. 11, in Founders
Hall. It was a semi-formal affair
with music provided by the Sabras,
a four-piece dance band.
The hall was well decorated in
the traditional Christmas spirit with
large amounts of evergreen and
holly and with a Christmas tree by
the fireplace.
The Sabras began to play at
8:15 while dinner was being served
from 7:00 to 8:15. After dinner was
completed, there was dancing until
midnight.
The highlight of the evening was
the presentation of the Christmas
Queen and her court of four girls.
Miss Roe Pearce of Greensboro
reigned as Queen and was escort
ed by Mr. James Wiles, also of
Greensboro. She was attended by
Lynn Dorsett, the maid of honor,
Donna Newman, Cheryl Rippy, and
Susan Roush. Miss Pearce was
crowned by last year's Christmas
Queen, Karen Schloesser. Rob
Mackie presented flowers to the
Queen.
The price of admission was $2.00
per couple, which included din
ner. Non-boarding students were
charged an additional $1.50 for the
dinner.
Officers of the Monogram Club
are Sandy Gann, President; John
Van Etten, Vice-president; Jim Al
len, Secretary; and Bob Mackie,
Treasurer.
GREENSBORO, N. C., DECEMBER 17, 1965
The Messiah
Presented by
College Choir
by David Parsons
Guilforclian Staff Reporter
On Sunday afternoon, December
12, in Dana Auditorium, the Guil
ford College Community Chorus, a
group consisting of members of the
A Cappella Choir and other inter
ested students and members of the
community, presented the Messiah
by George Frederick Handel. This
annual performance first took place
soon after the founding of the choir
in 1929 and through the years it has
become an institution almost as
basic as the choir itself.
Under the fine direction of Jerry
Smyre, the chorus and twenty-four
piece orchestra provided a spirited
background for the four soloists:
Soprano Marilyn Burris, wife of Dr.
Burris of the Political Science De
partment; Alto Mary Lou Moran;
Tenor Ray Young; and Basso John
Von Cannon.
This was the 1965 choir's third
performance of the Messiah. The
other performances were given at
Fuquay Springs and Goklsboro dur
ing a brief trip made the weekend
of December 3-5.
The vivacity of this year's Mes
siah and the recent outstanding per
formance of the difficult Bach's
Magnficat are indications of the
energy and understanding of music
that Jerry Smyre brings to his sec
ond year of directorship.
Campus Gets Signs
The Student Legislature has an
nounced that plans are presently
being drawn for the construction of
signs for all campus buildings. The
problem of building identification
created by a need for signs has been
a matter of concern for the present
Student Legislature. As a result a
Sign Committee headed by Rob
Jackson was formed. They investi
gated the problem and learned that
Mrs. R. E. Williams of Goldsboro
had offered to financially support
the construction of the needed
signs.
The plans of the Sign Committee
are tentative and committee mem
bers have indicated their willing
ness to give consideration to sug
gestions from interested students.
Jackson felt confident that the
embarrassing situation which a
signless campus has always foster
ed, and the confusion which cam
pus visitors and prospective stu
dents have experienced will soon
be rectified by the erection of signs
near all campus buildings.

Licensed Campus Radio Station
Planned by Four GC Students
Guilford College may have a ra
dio station, not one of those little
intradormitory set-ups, but a real,
honest-to-goodness radio station.
The generating forces behind the
whole idea are Bill Guerrant, John
Desmond, Ric Schumann and Mike
Rinehardt, four students who are
presently enrolled at the College.
The boys claim that serious thought
of establishing a fully licensed col
lege radio station began last year
when Guerrant and Desmond con
structed a small station within the
New Men's Dormitory whose sig
nals could only be received within
the dorm. The response of the boys
who lived in the dorm was highly
favorable and there were numerous
offers of records, advice and other
forms of assistance.
The inspiration that the dorm
station provided as well as their
awareness of the fact that all previ
ous attempts to establish a radio
station had been unsuccessfid, led
Desmond and Guerrant to launch
their project on April 29, 1965.
Within the last eight months the
boys have taken several positive
steps towards bringing a Federal
Communications Commission fully
licensed radio station to the Guil
ford College campus. But the boys
caution anxious students not to ex
pect anything in the immediate
future because there is still a long
way to go. Roadblocks that the

Frosh Raising Funds
l>y Bob Wilson
Guilfordian Staff Reporter
The selling of candy has started
the freshman class on a four-year
struggle of fund-raising. The suc
cess of this project will largely de
termine future activities (parties or
dances) of the class. All freshmen
have been urged to actively support
this current project by selling sev
eral boxes of candy during the
Christmas vacation.
At the class meeting of December
1, Neal Thomas reported the estab
lishment of an Advisory Commit
tee. The purpose of this committee
is to extend the contacts of the class
officers and to act as a sounding
board for suggestions and criti
cisms from freshman students. The
following is a list of the committee
members: Lynn Culler, Nancy
Dr. William Burns:

boys will encounter take the form
of F.C.C. red tape. First, the loca
tion of the radio station must be de
termined and then the complicated
Permit to Construct an Educational
F.M. Station must be filled out and
sent to the F.C.C. for approval.
When the F.C.C. has finally
granted its approval to permit the
construction of the station, the
building may begin. Upon comple
tion of the F.M. Station, the boys
may begin the third step of their
operation. This is the program-test
ing phase in which various tests will
be conducted. An application for a
Non-Commercial Educational F.M.
Broadcast Station License will then
be submitted to the F.C.C. When
the license is finally granted, the
station may begin regular program
transmission.
It is indeed a long and tedious
project and Guerrant notes that
"this will be a very involved and
time-consuming operation and
therefore the earliest possible date
of broadcasting, that is considering
no delays and that everything goes
smoothly, would be sometime dur
ing May of 1966."
From the day on which they be
gan their project, Desmond, Guer
rant, Schumann and Rinehardt have
made admirable progress. First,
they contacted Bill Young, the pro
gram director of WUAG, the F.M.

Bob Rees, Tom Morphis, Art Wash
burn, Keith Parks, Zack Lowe, and
Phil Reynolds. If there are any
questions, suggestions, or com
plaints, a class officer or a member
of the advisory committee should
be contacted.
At the December 1 meeting it
was proposed that the next class
meeting be held after a short chapel
in the hope that more students
would be able to attend. After va
cation, this proposal will be put in
to effect.
Sophs Selling Mugs
The sophomore class, which be
gan the present academic year by
forming a Class Planning Commit
tee, appears to be headed for an
other successful year. Though not
aspiring to be named the "mug
class," the sophomores revamped
their freshman year mug project by
offering to the students a new type
of jug and metal mug with the Guil
ford College seal on its side. The
project, headed by Dave Conrad,
has proved to be quite successful.
The success of the Class Planning
Committee depended upon the ne
cessity that it contain a varied
group of representatives from di
verse dorms and interest groups.
The Committee's meetings are pub
licized on campus and are open to
all sophomores who are interested.
President Rusty Maynard has
stated that the sophomore projects
have placed them in an excellent fi
nancial situation which may result
in some sort of social event.
Among the events that the class
has scheduled for next semester is
the annual sophomore class basket
ball game.
The officers of the sophomore
class are Rusty Maynard, President;
Bill Hurt, Vice-president; Carolyn
Smith, Secretary; and Patti Thom
as, Treasurer.
