Campaigns for Raising Funds With
Which to Pay for Memorial Hall Im
provements Are Being Planned
A meeting of the Guilford College
Club was held in the boys' center,
Arehdale hall, last week at which mem
bers from High Point, Greensboro, and
Guilford were present. Mrs. Furnas
presided and under her leadership plans
for the coming year were discussed.
At. a session of the Yearly Meeting
a change was made in requirement for
membership so that now both men and
women are eligible. The club is plan
ning a drive for members, setting its
goal at 400. Mrs. Haworth has been ap
pointed chairman of the membership
committee. The dues are $2.00 a year
and all of this revenue will be used
to purchase things for the college.
The club has many plans under prep
aration. After it completes the pay
ments for the work done in Memorial
hall they plan to raise more money
with the object of either installing a
pipe organ or possibly providing the
Y. W. and Sunday school with a build
ing for their meetings.
The c-lul has formulated several
plans to raise money during the com
ing year. During the week of October
15-22 the club representatives will sell
writing paper containing the name and
address of the buyer for SI.OO per
box. The club will also have a booth
at the Greensboro Fair and all loyal
Guilfordians are urged to donate things
for sale at the booth and to patronize
it during the time the Fair is in prog
ress.
FALL PLAY IS CHOSEN
BY DRAMATIC COUNCIL
"The Whole Town's Talking" Is Title
of Farce, for Which the Cast Is
At Present Being Chosen
"The Whole Town's Talking." a
farce in three acts by John Emerson
and Anita Loos, will he presented on
Saturday evening, November 3. as the
fall play. This play abounds in clever
lines and situations and promises to
be one of the best plays presented
here in recent years.
The plot deals with the experiences
of Chester Hinney, a very green book
keeper, in winning a wife, llis wouhl
be liiineee insists that her husband
must have a lover or two. Chester
thinks tins eliminates him; however,
he decides to buy a picture and teli
her that this was his former lover,
lie buys the picture of no other than
Letty Lythe, the motion picture actress.
From this point the play moves 011
through many situations. The movie
actress appears, her fiance, a young
Chicago blood who speaks French, and
several other minor characters. Mr.
and Mrs. Simmons, the parents of the
leading girl, furnish much of the humor
in the play.
This farce promises to hold oue in
tent and stirred until the end, where
all worries and complications find a
happy but unexpected solution.
At the first try outs much good ma
terial was found. However, nothing

ANTI-SMITH SOCK
CAMPAIGN IS ON
Guilford has at last committed
itself and delinitely opposed A 1
Smith or at least Smith socks.
This became evident when Siki
Parker attempted to enter (lie
dining-hall at Founders, loudly
heralding his candidate from his
feet and 3 hereby losing a perfectly
good pair of two-bit socks in a
rather undignified manner.
We still insist that Siki mourns
the loss of his socks more than
the denunciation of his candidate.
COLLEGE FACULTY
PULL LARGE PICNIC
Former Members Dare Law of
Old North State and Hold
Rat Court for Novices
MRS. MAX NOAH IS VICTIM
Sept. 26.—The faculty had a party—
an outdoor party, very informal. They
went to Troxler's mill, a haven of rest
and beauty, not so far east of Greens
boro, invaded the peaceful recluse, and
disturbed its quiet with their noisy
jollity. They never even thought of
that.
The party left the college very late
in the afternoon and returned not
quite so late in the evening in order
not to disturb any of the hard-work
ing students who most probably would
lie asleep after 11 o'clock.
Preparations for refreshments were
in order immediately after their ar
rival at the old mill. Mr. Pancoast
constructed a satisfactory camp fire;
Mr. Purdom faithfully broiled steak;
Miss Gainey, with practiced skill, made
coffee; and the others co-operatively
made ready the rolls, tomatoes, celery,
cream, chess pies, and apples. Since
Mr. Turner was not present to bake
hoe-cakes, the party, in that respect,
did without. In spite of this deficiency,
the culinary achievements were quite
satisfactory.
Then the fun was intensified. It is
highly possible that those involved did
not intend for what follows, owing to
its questionable nature, to reach the
press, but such things will out. And
indeed it is startling to learn that such
an august body as a college faculty
would engage in a form of entertain
ment which they themselves prohibit,

SOPHS ENTERTAIN
FRESHMAN RATS
Sept. 27. —Thursday evening—a timid
but expectant group of freshman girls
—the all-powerful sophomores—a camp
fire 011 the road to Whip-poor-will
Lodge—these were the circumstances
of the 102S Freslnnan-Sophomore Pic
nic. It was a very meek and orderly
column that marched to the rendez
vous under personal supervision of
the sophomores. Once there, these
humble freslnnen relaxed a little and,
after some singing, several humorous
readings were given by Louise Thurber
to the great edification of her audience.
Gertrude Hinshaw, chairman of the
sophomore girls, then read the fresh
man rules which are to go into effect
011 October 1. and to last for one week.
In the first place, every freshman girl
must wear black cotton stockings ex
cept to dinner and on Sunday. Fresh
men are also to refrain from all use of

CAMPUS BOASTS OF
IMPROVEMENTS MADE
DURING THE SUMMER
Utopian 1928 Campus Proves
Attractive—Gymn Becomes
Useful Place of Memory
8 NEW FACULTY MEMBERS
Both Male and Female Rats Doomed to
Wear Black, the Cause of Mourn
ing Not Just Known
By CARRIE TEAGUE
You will say that in the land of
Utopia there was no Evolution. Come
to Guilford campus and I'll show you
that I am right. If you haven't been
here since school started you don't
know about the "Utopian Evolution."
I'll prove it to you by taking you on a
trip over our Utopian 1928 campus.
First, let us go to Founder's hall
just after noon when all the faculty
are digesting their lunch on the front
porch. I wish to introduce to you
these new members: Miss Miles, head
of the German department; Miss North,
English assistant; Mrs. Noah, music as
sistant and head of expression depart
ment ; Miss Bruce, head of Home Eco
nomics department; Mr. Mumford,
French, Mr. Fronick, Latin and Span
ish ; Mr. Lofton, chemistry. You will
notice freshmen not only in the fac
ulty circle, but' the dormitories are
over-run with them. You will notice
as a male rat characterized a little
black necktie. The females are char
acterized by black hose and absolutely
no cosmetics and 110 male escort.
Changes of less importance have
taken place in the rooms of Founders.
Paint and plaster have helped in bring
ing about these changes. If one Avas
to wander into what was formerly the
dirty obi cellar of Founders, he would
find there a completely equipped home
economics lab which has moved hither
from King hall.
You really wouldn't know the New
Garden kitchen and serving room.
Newly painted walls and new linoleum
disguise it perfectly.
Such a small thing as new doors to
a building greatly helps. Look at King
hall entrance but keep your eyes open
lest you get slapped in the face with
one, because they are swinging doors.
The library floor might be mistaken
for a dance hall except for the fact
that it contains shelves lined with
(Continued on Page Four)
cosmetics. Furthermore, 110 freshman
may have a date within the stated
week. Penalties for violation of rules
are, for first offense a girl must retire
by 0:80, and for repeated offenses she
must wear a placard informing the
public of the rule she has violated.
Scarcely had Miss Hinshaw finished
when a photographer and newspaper
reporter appeared, and freshmen and
sophomores, chaperones, and the food
(the real cause of the picnic) were all
exposed to the camera. The climax
soon followed in the form of a weenie
roast accompanied by rolls, marshmal
lows, pickles, and apples. After the
feast, general hilarity prevailed. The
freshmen rose to the occasion with
such choice selections as the laundry
list to the tune of "Home, Sweet
Home," and "Nobody Knows How
Green I Am."

First Formal Appearance
MISS EVA MILES SINGS
Max Noah Plays Cello and Piano Solos
and Miss Eva Campbell Gives
Negro Spirituals
Sept. 29.—A sparse but appreciative
audience was present at the recital
given jointly last Saturday evening by
Mr. and Mrs. Max Noah, Miss Miles,
and Miss Campbell at Memorial hall.
The piogram was begun by Mrs.
Xoah, who sang a group of four songs.
The first of these, "Spring Song of the
Robin," by Charles Wakefield Cadman,
was taken from the first successful
opera written by an American. This
song contains the story of an Indian
maid personifying Spring and calling
to all nature to awake. "A Fairy
Boat," by Edward Furtz; "Le Cauer de
MaMie," by Jaque Daleroze, and "I'm
Wearin' Awa'," by Foote, were given
with a delightful interpretation.
Mr. Noah then favored the audience
with two cello numbers and two piano
solos: "Pilgrim Chorus," by Wagner;
"Barcarolle" from "The Tales of Hoff
man "The Chase," by Liszt, and
"Campanella," by Liszt.
Miss Miles, in her debut here, sang
a group of well chosen songs, which
consisted of: "In Time of Roses," by
Grieg; "When Phyllis Smiles," by Gar
ett; "Winter Night," by Hollaender,
and "A Fairy Went a-Marketing," by
Goodhart.
Mrs. Noah gave several readings, in
cluding "The House With Nobody In
It," by Kilmer, and "The Little Boy
Snake," by Csalie.
The program was closed by Miss
Campbell, who sang a group of negro
spirituals which were enjoyed very
much: "The Ole Ark Ts a-Movin'," by
Guion; "I'm a-Rollin'," and "Deep
River," by Beneliegh.
GUILFORD OPENS WITH
293 STUDENTS ENROLLED
New and Correlated Curriculum Is Be-
Kun —Is Worked Out With View of
Giving Student Better Advantage
Guilford College opens this fall with
I a freshman class enrollment of 129
i students, 62 of which are girls and 67
hoys. There are nine new students
with upperclass standing. The total en
rollment is 293.
Guilford is also beginning her new
curriculum, which is established with
the idea of making a much better cor
related course for college students, giv
ing them work in related fields and in
the proper amounts.
The mastery of the intellectual tools
will require about three-fifths of the
student's time during the first year in
college. This will leave one-fifth for
the favorite subject and one-fifth for a
survey course in natural science. In
the second college year only one-fifth
of the time will be devoted to the
tools, leaving two-fifths for cultural
subjects—art, literature, psychology,
and social science, and two-fifths to the
chosen field. During the junior year
two-fifths of the time is reserved for
a continuation of the social sciences and
for Biblical literature, and three-fifths
for the major. In the senior year four
fifths of the student's time may be de
