I>avid 11. Parsons, Jr. chairman of
the Centennial Committee.

"Murders" Mark Inauguration
Of New Student Affairs Hut
Music, lights, laughter, and other
signs of gaiety were in evidence in the
immediate vicinity of the newly-com
pleted Student Affairs building on Fri
day evening, January 22. These un-
Quakerly symptoms of a good time were
indicative of the first social affair to
take place in the "hut," a private party
attended by 16 students and chaperoned
by Dr. and Mrs. Beittel, of tho faculty.
Highlights of the evening's amuse
ment were a game of "parlor bedlam"
involving such noted characters as
Adolf Hitler, Sally Band, Boris Karloff,
Mrs. Simpson, Dorothy Dix, and Madam
Queen, two "murders" (victims Emily
Virginia Levering and Ken Morris) and,
last but by no means least, light re
freshments.
Dancing was rendered permissible by
the decision of the faculty social com

"STILL LIFE" PREFERRED
m VOTE ON EXHIBITION
"Village Church," "American Interior,"
"Valhalla Bridge" "Autumn Leaves"
Also Liked by Students.
By FLOYD MOORE
The second of the series of art ex
hibits held in Founders' hall under
the sponsorship of the Living American
Art, Inc., closed last week with a last
day show of enthusiasm brought on b;.
requirements of the course in art ap
preciation, 11 second semester class
which began the day the exhibit closed.
Of the 1- pictures that were 011 ex
hibition, live were outstanding ac
cording to consensus of opinion of those
voting in the popularity contest of the
individual works. The one receiving
the most votes was "Still Life," by
Xiles Spencer. It contrasts dark and
light color with the use of various inert
articles placed upon a table in an in
terior scene with a balance created by
the parallel lines of a doorway. "The
Village Church," "American Interior."
"Valhalla Bridge," and "Autumn
Leaves" were other popular paintings.
Two other exhibits will be held dur
ing the semester, one probably in Feb
ruary and the other in April.

mittee that chaperoned groups might
practice the art of Terpsichore in the
hut.
The absence of furniture in the build
ing was compensated by the pillows
brought by the guests, the radio used
for dancing was lent by Bed Steven
son, and James Wall and Charlotte
Parker officiated as builder and re
builder, respectively, of the fire. Miss
Parker also assisted Mrs. Beittel in the
preparation of the refreshments which
were served at the close of the evening.
According to Greig Bitchie, who first
thought of the party, its prime purpose
was to acquaint the student body with
the fact that any group desiring to re
serve the Student Affairs building for
such a function may do so provided

PUPPETS TO ENTERTAIN
GUILFORD'S CHILDREN
English 31 Class Will Present a Play,
"The Moon Boy," on
February 5.
Due to the impetus given by Mrs.
Clyde Mllner in her English 31 class
there has been a great ileal of interest
shown in marionettes lately. As their
contribution to the Centennial exhibit,
tile class is presenting on Friday aft
ernoon, February 5. a puppet play
written by one of their members. "The
Moon Boy," the play to be given, was
written to interest the child from t lie
ages three to seven. Although tech
nician Fanny Ilutton is having trouble
with his footlights, and the puppeteers
are tearing their hair about; tangled
strings anil actors that won't sit down
decently, the group expects to put on
a finished performance.
The characters in the play are Tan,
the Moon Bo.v, the Queen of the Fairies,
the King of the I'ixies, Dildock, the
jester, Applelon, the king's henchman,
Murumsen, the Queen's attendent, a
Luna moth.
Destructive Campus Calamity
Tests Students' Perseverance
Three hundred and fifty students
staggered doggedly through- the most
destructive test of human persever
ance witnessed at Guilford college in
many months. Many pupils succumbed
and will no longer he seen about the
campus, while several others are con
fined in the infirmary. The complete
casualty list is not yet available but
it is estimated on good authority that
some .'IOO Quakers who passed through
the grueling experience will not re
caver sufficiently to resume their studies
until approximately the middle of May.
Well - seasoned southerners contend
that Guilford college has not been so
hard hit since a year ago this May and
it is rumored that some of the more
socially-minded, who firmly believe in
equality, are going to appeal directly

BUDGET INCLUDES CHOIR
Many Organizations Gain by New Bud
get—Women's Athletic Association
and Entertainment Course Lose.
The student affairs budget for 1937-38,
presented to the student body yester
day morning during chapel period, was
accepted by the required student ma
jority. That it would be approved had
been a matter of some doubt to some
members of the Student Affairs board,
owing to the increased activities fee
made necessary by the terms of the
budget.
In approving the budget, the students
at the same time sanctioned the raising
of the activities fee from its long-time
.sl3 level to a new high of sls. This
action was necessary in order to per
mit including the choir in the list of
Student Affairs board subsidies for a
substantial amount, as well as to in
crease the appropriations of other needy
organizations.
According to the schedule ratified yes
terday, the choir is to receive SIBO from
the Student Affairs fund during the
coming year. Among the other organi
zations profiting from the increased fee
are the Men's Athletic Association, which
will receive next year $3lO in excess of
this year's appropriation; the Quaker,
slated for a SIBO increase; the Y. M.
C. A., to receive sls extra; the social
committee, granted $lO more than usual,
and the Y. W. C. A. and Men's Student
Government, each of which gets a $5
increase.
The new budget, as indicated by the
cut in an adjoining column, places em
phasis on intercollegiate athletics, as
usual. Of a total of $4,425 to bo col
lected, $1,400 (nearly 34 per cent) is
to go for the greater glory of off-cam
pus athletics.

Anyone who viewed the destructive
events could but see that sjieedy action

America were seen in a state very
