Patronize our Advertisers VOLUME XVI Publications' Fee Cared for in Student Budget PASSES EASILY New Plan Will Support Most of Organizations on Local Campus. EFFECTIVE NEXT YEAR Movement Comes As Result of Agita tion of Several Years for Pub lications Fee. After several years' agitation, the students of Guilford College have suc ceeded in having a publications fee in stalled for the next school year. This fee will cover the student subscriptions to the Quaker and the Guilfordian, they being the only publications which will be cared for by the students' activities fee which the students voted favorably on in a meeting here last week. The offer of this proposition by the authorities of the institution as a solu tion to the difficulty which has been experienced in financing student activi ties grew out of the efforts 011 the part of the students, especially within the past three years, to have a publication fee installed. This idea is in a way a compromise insofar as it not only covers the subscriptions to the two col lege publications, but goes still further to cover membership in the women's or men's athletic associations, and to the Y. M. C. A. or the Y. W. C. A. Plans are also made in order that it will be possible to finance the choir and chorus, the debating squad, ex penses for the election by the Student Affairs Board, and a general fund of a substantial amount which may be used to fill out any deficit in one of the other departments. This fee will be a part of the regular entrance fee to the college and will amount to only $14.00 per year for each student. This fund will be paid to a member of the Student Affairs Board at the time of registration and this same organization will have charge of tlic distribution of this money to the vari ous organizations concerned. This will elevate the power of the Board, which lias been in existence for the past three years, and it will make the president of the organization itself one of the most important offices on the campus. An outline of the new plans will be contained in the copy of the college catalogue which is now being prepared for next year. GIRLS FROM BENNETT COLLEGE CONDUCT Y Colored Singers Entertain Joint Meet ing of Y With a Musical Program. SPIRITUALS ESPECIALLY GOOD At a joint meeting of both Christian associations the girls' quartet from Ben nett College gave a delightful program. The* program consisted of both spir itual and secular numbers. The quartet consisted of Jessie Lee Johnson, first soprano; Nanette Wright, second so prano; Chattee Price, first alto; and L'Freda Sandifer, second alto. Carrie Robinson accompanied the quartet at the piano. The program consisted of eight groups. The first group was two spir ituals by the quartet: "I'm So Glad Trouble Don't Last Always," Delt; and "Were You There t" Manney. The second group consisted of two numbers of a more classical nature: (Continued on Page Two) GUILFOR Miss Campbell is Rack on Campus Miss Eva G. Campbell, who has been on a leave of absence for the last semester, has returned to take charge of Freshman Biology. This course has been under the direction of Dr. Binford for the past quarter. Miss Campbell has been studying at Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. She has been making a spe cial study of the thermo-phyilic bac teria, which is one of the problems of Dr. Charles B. Morrey. This work is to aid her in getting a Ph. D. in biology. She expects to return to Ohio State University in the fall of 1930 to resume lier work. On Sundays Miss Campbell sang in the vested choir at Trinity Church. Most of her time was occupied with laboratory work, classes, or studying. All of which goes to show that getting one's Ph. D. isn't a jokin' matter! ANNUAL SCHOOL OF MISSIONS ENDS Moore, Guilford Grad uate, Brings Session to Close Last Sunday. LENA FARLOW IS LEADER The annual School of Missions, spon sored by the students and the commun ity folk, came to a close last Sunday evening. Attendance was quite good during the entire six weeks and the in dications point toward evidence of suc cess. Both the classes and lectures were well received and enjoyed. There were seven classs; in these a variety of sub jects were discussed. Mrs. Binford led the class on "Sun day School Methods;" Mr. Hole, oii his experiences in Africa; Miss Ilaviland. "Work in Palestine;" Catherine Cox, "Comparative Religions and Denomina tions;" Mr. Frazier, "International Re ligions;" Mrs. Peele, Junior Christian Endeavor. In the class on "Compara tive Denominations and Religions," va rious speakers of certain denominations delivered very interesting lectures -on their own particular creeds, and then the class was open for discussion. Among the speakers were Judge Hayes, of Greensboro; Tom S.vkes, High Point; Lewis McFarland, High Point; Mary Erwin, Ohio (W. C. T. IT. secretary); Elbert Russell, Duke Uni versity; and Hugh Moore, of Winston- Salem, closed the session last Sunday evening. Mr. Moore, a Guilford graduate, talked of tiis work among the Marion strikers. He painted very vividly the picture of the suffering and distress among the unemployed. His manner was quiet, but one easily realized how deeply he had entered into the spirit of his work and had tried to help those who needed him. The Mission School has completed one of the most successful sessions since the plan was first put into prac tice. Under the leadership of Lena Farlow, and considering the range of speakers who have participated in the meetings, we feel that it has truly been beneficial. THE GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MARCH 25, 1930 ANNUAL GYMNASTIC MEETING WAS HELD ON SATURDAY EVE Girls' Athletic Sections Give Brilliant Presentation of Their Class Work. AESTHETICS AND DRILLS Admission Fee to Go for Placing Stone Park Benches on the Campus; Good Sum Is Raised. Tripping on light fantastic toes, the local girls performed 011 Saturday evening in the annual Women's Gym nastic Meet, which has received fame in previous ages. The exercises con sisted of folk dancing, aesthetics, and floor drill work, in which the girls were judged and graded; the rest of the work was devoted to a varied display of the sort of things a gym class does — such as stunts, races, and apparatus work. The program opened with the Juniors dancing "Pompadour." The arrange ment was graceful and it was effectively presented. "Valse des Fleurs" was given by the Sophomores, following a requested repetition of "Pompadour." The floor drill for the Sophomores was under the direct supervision of the di rector, Mrs. Andrews. She tested their skill in receiving and executing orders which came in a rapid fire. Several groups of varied "jump stride," "chop ping," "deep breathing," and "right abouts" gave' ample opportunity for stiff workouts and proof that Sophs re ceive orders as well as give them. The Freshmen kept the floor for an entire variety of work. They first pre (Continued on Page Four) REV. W. A. NEWELL IS CHAPEL SPEAKER Gives One of Most Entertaining Speeches Made in Chapel This School Year. STUDENTS ENJOY TA L K Rev. W. A. Newell, presiding elder of the Greensboro district of the Meth odist conference, was able to interest the entire student body in one of the most unique chapel talks of the year on Thursday morning. The speaker combined a choice sprinkling of jokes with the serious thoughts, and the prod uct was quite pleasing. According to Reverend Newell there are two besetting fears in the world to day. The older people are afraid of the outcome of the present generation, who really fear deeply also. However, the young people are no worse than they were when the speaker was young; in fact, they are no worse than Adam and Eve were when they raised Cain. And certainly no more so than King Solomon when he fed the Queen of Sheba "ambrosia and nect' er." The fear of the older generation, the speaker said, is quite groundless, as is also the fear of the younger. People who do not know sometimes say that they have an overdose of ego. Rut in reality it is from an inferiority com plex that most boys and girls suffer. Many of them fear that the world will find out just exactly what they are. "There are in the world," the minister said, "those who are afraid and yet who ido not run. That is the best kind of fear, but the things which should be feared are mean and low. The com monplace should never be feared." DIAN A'CAPELLA CHOIR TO GIVE CONCERTS SOON Invitations to Give Programs in Parts of This and Other Nearby States Received. MAY TAKE EASTERN TRIP The A Capella Choir has its first en gagement for a coneert set for Sunday, April 13th, at 7:30 P. M., in the Friends Church in High Point. That isn't all; for they sing again for the High Point folk April 27th at the Wesley Memo rial, and this time they will have sup per there. The Greensboro Friends Church receives the Guilford College choir May lltli, and there is a possi bility that they will sing in the city some time during Music week, also. It was one day last fall that Mr. Max Noah looked for the first time over the group of thirty-three hoping hops and girls, and wondered, no doubt, if ever music of real quality could be made to come forth from those throats. Still he wondered, as each attempted to show his director individually what an asset he would be to the choir. Some were quite convincing, to be sure, but some Be that as it may, each member of the A Capella Choir may now honestly, and with the conviction of one who is in the right, say that he is the part of a group which produces music that is of the best. The reason for the now assured suc cess of the choir is three-fold. First of all, the organization has been under the direction and leadership of one who is thoroughly versed in the work he is doing so well. Not only does he have an understanding which comes of a combination of natural ability and training, but he has the power of tact fully giving his knowledge to those with whom he is working. Second, each member of the choir has entered into the work whole-heartedly, with the view of making it a success. Third, the type of music chosen is such as will appeal to the finer senses. It consists of songs of reverence, praise, and prayer, ren dered in their most effective way—with the voice alone. Some day soon the A Capella Choir members may tell you that football men aren't the only people from Guil for College who make tours to show their ability. Invitations have come from different points over the state, and even from other states, to the choir. There will be at least one three-day trip this spring. Mr. Turner, who is acting as business manager for the or ganization, has had correspondence with people of the churches, clubs, and musi cal groups of Raleigh, Ayden, and sev eral other towns in that general direc tion; and it is probable that plans for a tour of that part of the state will be worked out soon.

(Continued on Page Four) Patronize our Advertisers LENA FARLOW IS CHOSEN FOR MAIN ROLE IN'SKIDDING' Other Members of Cast Named for Spring Play to be Pre sented April 19th. REHEARSALS HELD DAILY Jewel Conrad, Ernest Scarboro, David Parsons, James Harper Have Very Important Parts. Members of the cast, for the Spring play, "Skidding," have been selected and are now hard at work preparing for the production which will be staged Sat urday evening, April 19. An unusually large crowd was present for the try outs, and the characters represent some of the best dramatic talent of Guilford. Lena Farlow will play the principal role of the cast, taking the part of Ma rion Hardy, the collegiate daughter of Judge and Mrs. Hardy. She has starred in many college productions. Her work as Emmy in "Sun Up" and as Nettie in "Ice-Bound" have been most notewor thy. The part of Mrs. Hardy, mother of Marion, is being taken by Jewel Con rad. Although only a. member of the Freshman class, she has shown much dramatic talent. While in high school she had the honor of playing the title role in "On the Hiring Lines." Ernest Scarboro, as Judge Hardy, has one of the principal male roles. He has done good work in the past in the role of Algernon in "The Importance of Being Earnest," as well as in Icebound," where he played the part of Henry Jor. dan. David Parsons, who gained much favorable comment from his portrayal of Ambrose Applejohn in the fall play, J "Captain Applejack," will play the part of Wayne Trenton 111, the lover of Marion. Of the character roles, James Harper, playing the part of Andy, the young son of the Hardy's, and Edith Cook, the old maid, should prove outstanding. Both of these parts are meant to pro | duce much of the liumor of the play, and, according to those who have seen the production, succeed splendidly. James Harper appeared in the one-act play, "Gaius and Gaius, Jr.," in the fall of 1!>28, and did a good piece of work. Edith Cook, a member of the Freshman class, has a good record along the line of dramatics from her high school ca reer.. The other members of the cast are also very talented. Eleanor Grimsley and Eleanor Bangs will play the parts of Estelle Hardy Campell and Myra Hardy Wilcox, respectively. These parts are good and these young ac tresses show that they are well acquaint.
