The subject of his address was reconversion, the problem of converting a wartime economic system into a peacetime system. Hatfield began by defining peace as the "right of every individual to fullfill his needs, become the whole man." The main portion of his speech was focused on the enormity of the defense budget, and ways in which it could be reduced. Attempting to bring defense spending down to a comprehendable level he pointed out that "Out of every SIOO, we spend $64.80 for wars-past, present, and future." The growing problems of transportation and communication in an urban society receive only $2.85 of each SIOO he stated. He placed fc, '' -■** Senator Mark 0.

Instrumental ensembles will accompany the choir. On Monday, the Guilford College Singers, a group from the choir, will entertain at the noon luncheon meeting of the Greensboro Rotary Club at the O. Henry Hotel. It is there that the Singers will mark up a "first"--the first public performance of a new Christmas song by Bob Waddell and Dave Owens of Greensboro, the blame for this squarely on the congress, which he feels has abdicated its responsibilities, allowing the Pentagon and the President to control defense spending. Hatfield felt that the defense budget can be cut at least $5 billion, and as much as sls billion without jeopardizing national spending. He explained that the Pentagon operates on the "2& war" concept--that is having the ability to fight a major war in both Europe and Asia, plus one small war, such as Vietnam, all at the same time. Based on the Nixon Doctrine of foreign policy he feels that "we could reduce it from 2 x h wars to IVi wars." During a question and answer period after the speech, Hatfield said that he had been hopeful, but not confident that his Amemdment to End the War in Vietnam would pass. The amendment was defeated, but Hatfield says he plans to re-introduce it in the next session of congress.

Demonstration on Dance In Worship to be Given "The dance the oldest of the arts of mankind, and from pre-historic times man has danced to the glory of God." This is the theme of "The Dance in Worship," a lecture-demonstation that will be given by Nancy Brock-professional dance choreographer and teacher at Guilford on Wednesday evening, January 6. Historical investigation reveals that among primitive and ancient peoples the dance was regarded almost exclusively as a form of religious expression. Its significance in the religious observances of the Hebrews and Greeks carried over into the practices of the early Christians. Although banned from most Christians churches for the past 400 years, the dance is now being "welcomed home" along with the other arts. Throughout the United States groups have been organized, usually called dance choirs, which contribute regularly to Protestant, Catholic and some Jewish services. In this program sacred dances from different periods of history are described, and short examples are performed. The major portion is devoted to discussion and illustrations of dance as it is used in Christian churches at the present time. Nancy Brock studies modern dance at the BenningtonSchool of Dance in Vermont, the Hanya Holm Studio in New York, and with Mary Wigman in Berlin. In West Germany she danced as guest artist at the National Theater of Mannheim. Miss Brock has been a member of Purdue University, Hampton Institute and Hollins College, and presently teaches at Roanoke College "The Dance in Worship" is a solo version of the program first presented with the assistance of drawn by the Student Affairs Committee as a response to the search of Milner and New Men's dorms prior to Thanksgiving, the Chapel Ddnce Choir at Roanoke College in March, 1970. In its present form it was also given at the Baltimore Yearly Meeting in Westminister, Maryland last August and at Friends General Conference in Washington, D.C. in November.

The SAC statement closely paralleled the section in the National Code of Student Rights concerning property of students. The SAC policy is more detailed, establishing a definite channel of action for authorization of room searches. Legislature recommended three admendments to the SAC draft, requesting that room searches not be made in the absense of the resident, that the resident be assured that the; room would be searched only for specific, purposes to be stated prior to the search and that all else in the room be ignored, and that the resident be given a choice as to whether his room will be searched byschool officials or city police. The three ammendments were suggested to the administrative council Wednesday at their regular meeting. The Council adopted the policy statement without legislature's amendments Chairman Joel New announced that the elections committee has received 34 replies from parents of freshmen women on a survey asking whether or not' they would approve of the inclusion of freshmen women in the self-rotating hours system.
