Taylor Speaks
At Bennett
Tom Taylor, President of the
Guilford College Student Govern
ment, was one of three speakers at
a convocation-forum on the Ben
nett College campus Wednesday
morning, February 16. Sponsored
by the Student Senate of Bennett,
the panel discussed the topic of
academic freedom as it related to
the speakers' respective institutions.
The other two students were
coeds who were exchange students
on the Bennett campus from Wil
lamette College and DePauw Uni
versity. Surprisingly enough, their
major problems were more proper
ly within the realm of social free
dom, and the audience was ex
tremely sensitive in comparing the
rules which governed women stu
dents.
Taylor stressed the liberal tradi
tions of the Society of Friends and
the diverse backgrounds of faculty
members as factors contributing to
academic freedom at Guilford.
Signs Here in May
by Rob Jackson
Guilfordian Staff Writer
The Sign Committee of the Stu
dent Legislature is in the final
stages of planning, and is awaiting
the signal to identify all campus
buildings. The plans at the present
time are for all buildings to be
identified by letters which will be
mounted on the building itself.
The building will be labeled with
a style of lettering known as archi
tectural design. This style is used
on many campuses and will be very
suitable for use on our own cam
pus.
All the buildings with the ex
ception of the New Men's Dorm
and English Hall will be identified
from the front facade of the build
ing. The committee felt that since
English Hall and the New Men's
Dorm do not face a major road
way, they should be identified from
the front and the side as well.
The New Men's and New Wom
en's Dorms will continue to main
tain their present names until the
school receives a donation of at
least $250,000 from an individual.
The new dorms will then bear that
person's name.
The Andco Corporation of
Greensboro, which specializes in
custom work for building identifi
cation, has been contracted to erect
the signs. Dwight Thomas, a Guil
ford graduate and a representative
of Andco, is in the process of com
pleting scale drawings of the letter
ing. These drawings will be sub
mitted to the Board of Trustees
and when approved, the lettering
will be installed during the month
of May.
Thanks to the contribution of
Mrs. R. E. Williams of Goldsboro,
the lettering of the college build
ings will be an important improve
ment to the Guilford campus.
Guitar Society Meets
The North Carolina Society of
the Classic Guitar wll hold a meet
ing on March 6th, at 3:00 p.m. in
Elliott Hall at the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro.
There will be a musical program of
both classical and flamenco guitar
music by a group of members from
Charlotte. Guijford College stu
dents who are interested in the
guitar are urged to attend.
The organization, formed late
last year to promote interest in the
instrument throughout the state, is
presenting a recital at the Greens
boro Coliseum on March 14 by
Jesus Silva, director of the Guitar
School at the N. C. School of the
Arts in Winston-Salem. Tickets will
be $1.50.

Students Reminded of
New Traffic Rules
The Traffic Committee of the
Student Legislature would like to
remind students that the following
traffic rules were passed during
the first semester. These, in addi
tion to the traffic rules listed in the
Pathfinder, are in effect for the sec
ond semester.
1. Cars are not to be parked on
the grass next to the driveway or
the parking lot of Dana Auditor
ium. Park only on the paved areas.
2. The parking spaces marked by
white lines in front of the New
Men's Dormitory, behind Cox Hall,
English Hall, and next to the cross
walk behind Founders Hall are re
served for motorcycles only.
3. The four spaces marked by
white lines in front of the apart
ments are reserved for the students
living the four middle-front apart
ments.
4. Cars are not to be parked in
the driveway of the old student
union because this area is being
used as a loading and unloading
zone.
5. Day student parking is restrict
ed to the old union parking lot, the
lot at the gym, the lot behind Dana
Auditorium, and the street in front
of Dana.
6. Cars are not to be parked in
the two spaces behind Founders
Hall which are reserved for Mr.
Lee and the nurse. These spaces
are marked with the initials of the
persons who are entitled to use
them. Also, cars are not to be park

teria which is adjacent to these
spaces.
Cars illegally parked in the above
areas will be ticketed.

that he must drive, permission may
be obtained from the Dean of Men
or the Dean of Women.
The first violation by freshmen
will result in a sls fine which will
be payable within two weeks. The
second offense will result in a $5

Students Send Budget
Back to S.A.B.
The budget that the Student
Affairs Board presented to the
students for preliminary voting
on February 25, has been sent back
to the S.A.B. with recommended
changes. Twenty per cent of the
students objected to the amounts
alloted to the Revelers Club,
$1500; the Biophile Club, $440;
and the Guilfordian, $2120. In ad
dition, ten per cent of the students
were not in favor of the $l5O
alloted to the International Rela
tions Club.
Changes in the budget have
thus been made and the funds of
the following organizations will
be decreased: The Revelers,
$200; the International Relations
Club, —sso; the Biophile Club,
—s4o; and the Band and Orches
tra, —sloo.
The following organizations will
receive additions to their allot
ments: the Social Committee,
from S3OOO to $3300; the Junior
Class, from $325 to $350; the
Cheerleaders, from $475 to $520;
and the Student Legislature, from
S4OO to $420.
On April 18, 1966, the first Guil
ford College Symposium will con
vene for a three-day session that
promises to be a landmark in the
progress of this institution toward
realizing its full potential.
The topic of the speakers partici
pating in the symposium will be
"The Foreign Policy of the United
Trivia - A New
Campus Game
Don't be taken by shock if, one
day in the near future, you happen
to be in the midst of a campus stroll
and you hear one student ask an
other: "In the comic strip Super
man, what was the name of the
editor of the Daily Planet?"
Well, have no fear! It's a new
pop-culture game called Trivia and
it is currently the rage among col
lege students throughout the land.
The object of the game is for one
student to try and stump another
by asking him questions pertaining
to comic books, television pro
grams, movies or anything else
that was popular when they were
children.
The new game, which was sup
posedly begun at Columbia Uni
versity, is an outgrowth of the
recent pop-culture fad which has
also given birth to the Batman tele
vision show.
The reason for the current popu
larity of pop-culture can be traced
to a person's desire to reminisce.
In this sense, the game of Trivia
acts as a common denominator. It
helps participants to recall the
once-popular entities of their youth,
and the associative experiences that
accompanied such items as base
ball cards, television programs, and
hit records. The mere mention of
Clark Kent, Monopoly, Milton
Berle, Davy Crockett and Edward
R. Murrow are enough to bring
twinges of nostalgia to even the
most serious of students.
On almost any night these days,
students from Smith to Stanford
can be found asking each other
such teasers as the original name
of the Ed Sullivan Show (The
Toast of the Town) or the name of
that misguided soul in Sergeant
Bilko's platoon (Doberman).
In one recent incident on the
Guilford College campus, two boys
in the New Men's Dorm challenged
some girls in Shore Dorm to try
and stump them. With Coca-Colas
as the stakes, the girls wrote out
five of the most impossible ques
tions. It is doubtful that the boys
will ever find out the name of
Shirley Temple's butler or the name
of the boss on "Dear Phoebe." Any
way, there is a greater likelihood
that the girls will collect their
cokes.
What are Trivia questions really
like? Here are ten that might be
batted around in the best of circles:
1. What was Kate Smith's theme
song?
2. What two weekly shows did
Ed Murrow have on CBS?
3. Who played Maxie the Taxi?
4. What were the names of Su
perman's parents?
5. What four comedians starred
on the Steve Allen Show?
6. Who sponsored the Milton
Berle Show?
7. What NBC newscaster began
his show, "Ladies and gentlemen
and good evening to you?"
8. Who was Flash Gordon's en
emy?

States in Southeast Asia." This will
include our relations with China.
The concept for the symposium
grew out of extended discussions
that developed from our chapel de
bate on Viet Nam. A committee of
fifteen members has been organ
ized to steer the project. Jane Ben
bow is coordinator of the commit
tee, Butch Benbow is durecting the
publicity, while money for the ex
penses involved is being raised by
Alpha Phi Omega, the newly-or
ganized chapter of the national
service fraternity.
The committee in charge of the
symposium has invited speakers to
represent the spectrum of views on
the subject. Of special emphasis, of
course, will be our policy in the
Viet Nam situation. It is not defi
nite yet who the speaker in defense
of the administration's policy will
be, but it may be either Dean Rusk
or Maxwell Taylor, although it
may well be neither. Representing
the neutral countries' view will be
Nigeria's deputy permanent rep
resentative to the United Nations,
J. T. F. Iyalla.
Representing those who oppose
the policy of the administration
will be the colorful and very liberal
senator from Oregon, Wayne
Morse. Fiercely independent in his
state record, Morse has been con
sistently opposed to our approach
to the problem in Viet Nam. He
stresses the fact that we are break
ing the Geneva Agreement, and
maintains that by our actions we
are dealing a fatal blow to any sort
of strong international law. He is
expected to speak in Dana Audi
torium on Monday, April 18, at
8:00 p.m.
The committee had originally
planned for a top-level debate be
tween the participants, but the
participants have since declined to
do so.
According to a recent poll taken
by the Guilfordian, Morse is going
to be in disagreement with the ma
jority of Guilford students. Sixty
five percent of the students here
indicated that they agree with and
support the administration's poli
cies in Viet Nam. The faculty, per
haps more steeped in Quaker tra
dition, is more in agreement with
Morse, although only forty-four
percent of that group supports our
current policy.
Finally, as an institution founded
by the Society of Friends, the im
plications of a discussion concern
ing war vs. pacifism offers adequate
assurance that the symposium will
be stimulating and enlightening.
Mathis Announces
New Library Hours
