Arrested? Appeared in traffic
court? A college professor? Un
speakable !
A stunned Guilford College stu

from the shock it received last

PATHWAYS IMPROVED BY
STUDENTS ON CAMPUS
Efforts to improve and beautify
the walks on the campus are being
made by student labor under the
guidance of Mr. Newlin. Mr. New
lin stated it was his intention to
have the walks rebuilt in such a
way as to afford better drainage
and a better top surface.
It will take considerable time to
work all the walks on the campus
with the present number of student
laborers. However, Mr. Newlin
hopes to have much of the project
finished by Home-Coming Day BO
as to have the campus walks in good
condition and appearance for this
celebration.

chairman, and Lib Adams was chosen

The program for next meeting was
made out at this time by volunteers
of the members, the way it is planned
to be done each time. There will

Helen Potts. This program consisted
of a considerable amount of new talent.
The second number was "Traumerei,"
played by DeLacy Faust. Two readings
were given by Mary Evans: "The Bear,"
and "Jonathan Bing." Hazel Wright
made her initial appearance as she sang
the well known "Long, Long Ago." That
was followed by a rendition of Beetho
ven's "Moonlight Sonata," adagio move
ment," by Peggy Mostroin. In contrast
Annie Laura Vannoy played the
trifling "Rustle of Spring." That was
followed by Mina Donnell singing
"Morning Wind." Louise Lee then

clever, comical chemistry student,
said, "It's people like liim that
make our streets unsafe for pedes
trians like me."
The student body in general and
in particular expressed astonish
ment "that the old can would do
that much."
Proponents of Mr. Noah's side of
the question claim that the infrac
tion was committed in line of duty.
They state that he was liurrj-ing
back to the college to direct choir
practice.
As a whole, the student body is
beginning to see things in the
right light, and some have even
offered to chauffeur Mr. Noah
around in their private cars until
the restoration of his license.
Do the Dances Need
Improvement?
NUMBER 3
ENTERTAINMENT AND
LECTURE COURSE IS
NOW BEING PLANNED
Community Parent Teachers
Association and Others
Are Interested.
DEA PRESENTED BY NOAH
Two to Four Numbers First Year; Ex
pansion Later; Mr. Suitor
Speaks.
At the Monday morning chapel, Oc
tober 16, Mr. Noah presented and dis
cussed a plan for the formation of a
lecture and entertainment course for
Guilford. The idea had been pre
viously considered by a group com
posed of representatives from the
community Parent-Teacher Association,
the Alumni Association, and the college.
Mr. Noah stated that a tentative
price might be 75 cents for college and
high school students, and a dollar for
others. This would necessitate, how
ever, 300 patrons who could be drawn
from the college, the community, Oak
Ridge, Summerfield, and perhaps from
Greensboro, Jamestown, High Point
and other nearby points.
The course would consist of from
two to four numbers, depending on the
kind and quality of entertainment
wanted and obtainable. The Carolina
Playmakers and the North Carolina
Symphony were suggested as possible
numbers.
In later years, Mr. Noah pointed out,
this course could be expanded to more
numbers, and, if successful, to tlie se
curing of world talent.
In the open discussion afterwards
Mr. Suitor emphasized the need and
definite use of such a course in the
education offered by a liberal arts
college.
