Visit by Dr. Jay H. Smith
BY D.L. GIBBON
Next week, between
November 2 and 5, the campus
will be host to a Quaker visitor
of a different stripe than those
greeted with such fanfare
during recent years. Unlike
Jessamyn West and Dr. and
Mrs. Douglas Steere, our
visitor seems to be "fighting
in the front lines of non
violence"! That's not to
detract from the wisdom, intel
lectual contribution, or public
spritedness of previous Quaker
visitors, but Dr. Jay H. Smith
has been acting as a witness
for the Quaker way in a very
special sense.
In early September, while
visiting Washington and staying
at the William Penn House,
we had the good fortune to
share breakfast with Dr. Smith
on Saturday morning. His
background quickly came out
as we jumped into heady
subjects for breakfast conver
sation. Before the Second
World War, he had gone to
India as a Methodist missionary,
but had effectively been exiled
when he objected to the
British Viceroy's declaring India
to be at war with Japan with
out consulting the Indian
government. In 1947, Dr.
Smith and his wife joined the
Religious Society of Friends,
and in 1952 they returned to
India. During these years he
had become more and more
involved in efforts to promote
world peace on a full-time
Guilford Rates Nationally
Guilford College has been
recognized by Changing Times
magazine as the only small,
private college in North
Carolina with "below-average
costs but above-average
academic credentials."
Guilford was one of 64
colleges and universities in the
nation named by the Kiplinger
publication as being "good
colleges at bargain prices."
None of the institutions listed
charges more than $5,000
tuition per year.

basis. On returning to India
he taught International Rel
ations in Pondicherrry at the Sri
Aurobindo International Center
of Education, and eventually
became an Indian citizen.
For the past eight years,
Jay Smith has been studying
the significance of the phen
omenal progress of the "new
China," based, in his phrase,
upon "moral regeneration;"
he has been writing extensively
on the subject. Our breakfast
conversation quickly skipped
around from subjects such as
freedom of choice to people
under Mao's regime to the
possibilities of war between
Russia and China. Jay Smith
is a fascinating man, with 77
years of experience behind him.
He speaks freely and articul
ately, reflecting great depth
of thought and concern for
humanity. He will be sharing
these concerns with classes in
Southeast Asian Government,
Politics and Social Change,
Being Human in the 20th
Century, and several others.
Several evening meals will be
open for sharing your personal
concerns with Dr. Smith during
his stay, as will lunch periods.
If you (students, faculty or staff)
are particularly interested in
visiting with this fascinating
human being, please let Bill
Beidler or Don Gibbon know
of your interest. We would
be glad to try to schedule him
into other classes as well, if
you can see a good fit with
your subject matter.
The two other North Carolina
schools selected are large
universities UNC-Chapel Hill
and Wake Forest.
The article in the October
issue of Changing Times
explained that schools selected
had entering freshmen who
have scored "well above the
national averages" on their
college entrance tests, have
selective admissions policies
and a good proportion of
graduates going on to graduate
school.

Milner
Picnic!
BY MIKE KINNAIRD
Starting at 4:00 on Novem
ber 7, there will be a picnic
for Milner residents in the field
between Milner and Bryan.
Hotdogs, hamburgers, port 'n
beans, potato chips, potato
salad, and hot and cold bever
ages will be served. The rain
date is still November 7, but
in case of bad weather, the
picnic will be held in the Milner
lobby.
In addition to the residents,
faculty are going to be invited.
Each hall can vote on whom to
invite. Each hall gets to invite
one faculty member. Every
one interestd in having their
favorite faculty member attend
should tell their House Council
member their choice. Also,
the intern and House Council
member on each hall gets to
pick one faculty member
apiece.
Because of the cost of the
preparations, Milner residents
will not be able to eat in the
cafeteria that evening. To
prevent other people from
eating at our picnic, we will
stamp the hands of those
Milner residents attending.
We would appreciate every
one's help and cooperation in
this.
This picnic is to get Milner
residents together with faculty
members. We hope that this
will bring dorm members closer
together and give them a
chance to know faculty
members outside of the class
room. Quite often, a professor
never gets to see his students
except in the classroom, and
never gets to talk to them
personally. We feel that, given
a chance to talk with students,
the faculty will be glad to do
so. An added incentive for
them to come would be that
they were voted a favorite
faculty member.
We would like to see every
one attend the picnic, we know
that you all will have a great
time. We'll see you then!
Favorite TV
BY MARK SIEBER
In recent months, a survey
was conducted among the
television industry's leading
executives, celebrities, and
writers. The question? "What
is your all-time favorite tele
vision series?" The results
may or may not be surprising,
but they do cover the entire
range of the TV spectrum
from quiz shows to dramas
to comedies to talk shows.
The top thirty vote-getters
were:
1. "Perry Mason"
2. "Your Show of Shows"
3. "Star Trek" **
4. "Playhouse 90"
5. "Mary Tyler Moore Show"
6. "The Defenders"
7. "Milton Berle Show"
8. "Omnibus"
9. "Monty Python's Flying
Circus" **
10. "The $64,000 Question"
11. "Upstairs, Downstairs"
12. "Our Miss Brooks"
13. "Get Smart" **
14. "Studio One"
15. "The Forsyte Saga"
16. "Alfred Hitchcock
Presents"
17. "Twilight Zone"
18. "Armstrong Circle
Theatre"
19. "Maverick"

rently through regular
programming or syndication.)
The interviewees were
asked to consider quality as
well as entertainment value.
Oddly enough, many of the
shows cited were not block
busters in the Neilson Ratings.
Shows like "Monty Python's
Flying Circus" have been
watched, primarily, by a rela
tively small group of dedicated
gag-comedy fanatics. Another
series, "Perry Mason," volleyed
from a fifth place rating to
forty-third over a nine year
tenure on CBS; ironically,
though, one of history's most
popular television shows, it
never was the most watched
series of the week.
What about yourself? Got a
favorite? "Howdy Doody" or
"Mickey Mouse Club" or
"Gomer Pyle" or "Partridge
Family"???
