FORM COUNCIL
Hope to Promote Better Under
standing Between Students
and Faculty.
GROUP IS UNOFFICIAL
Move to Synthecize Work of Organi
zation and Administration Toward
Enrichment of College Life.
As a definite move in the direction
of better understanding between ad
ministration and students as they work
together for a common ideal, the Co
operative Council has been formed on
Guilford campus. A strictly unofficial
body, this group is made up of heads
of organizations and four faculty mem
bers.
President Clyde Milner, whoso idea
it was to form the council, feels that
in such a group of student leaders and
faculty it will be possible to clarify
to a greater degree the purpose of col
lege life in the mind of each student
at Guilford, and to make the individual
organization realize its plans in rela
tion to those of the common group.
It is hoped that misunderstandings
may bo averted by the fact that key
students on the campus will know th"
actual facts involved in any given
situation and that they will see to it
that these facts are rightly interpreted.
The representatives of the faculty
on the council are President of the
college, Dr. Clyde A. Milner; Dean of
the college, Dr. A. D. Beittel; Director
of Personnel, Mrs. Ernestine C. Milnor;
and Business Manager of the college,
Mr. David H. Parsons.
Students members of the organiza
tion are: Student Affairs Board, Char
lotte Parker; Women's Student Gov
ernment, Kathirene Ruble; Men's Stu
dent Government and Men's Athletic
Association, Norman Boyles; Quaker,
liarle F. Maloney; Young Women's
Christian Association, Beatrice Rohr;

After a year spent at the University
of Munich, James Cornettc expressed
himself as being extremely happy to
return to the United States "where
men are men and the women don't
spend their evening lumbering about
over mountain tops."
"Women like Marlene Dietrich,"
sighed Mr. Cornette, "simply do not
exist in Germany today."
Out of the seven thousand or so stu
dents enrolled in the University of
Munich, Mr. Cornette said that the
acme of feminine pulchritude reminded
him more than anything else of "a
loosely stuffed burlap bag with a rope
drawn tightly around the middle and
a pair of cotton-stockinged hams occu
pying that region of the anatomy where
one would expect to encounter legs."
"Of course," he went on, "I may have
a prejudiced opinion, but the German
women, especially the servant class,
don't seem to be overly burdened with
brains. After the maid at the place

Fee Raise Reduces
Syllabus Deposits
No longer are Guilford freshmen
depositing a four-dollar breakage fee
and upper classmen in general being

their courses. These expenses—and
more—are now included in the addi

fee. The boarding department also
receives an extra $lO per student
for food, the library receives an
additional $3 per student for main
tenance and new books, the Student
Affairs board receives $2 more for
their activities during the year. Only
$lO goes to the administration for

Miss McColl has brought new hope to

Financially speaking, Mr. Cornettc
found that the government attitude
toward tourists and students was ex
tremely lenient. The regular mone
tary exchange values one American dol
lar at two marks forty pfennigs. Stu
dents and tourists, however, were al
lowed five marks for each dollar. Ac
cording to this rate of exchange the
German Youth hostels, strongly en
dorsed by Hitler in his program of
physical development of German youth,
charged about 8 cents per day for
room and meals.
Mr. Cornette said that all the fra

had been abolished because of their

ANNA N. BINFORD VIEWS
STRUGGLE IN PALESTINE
Says Jewish-Arabian Quarrel is Now
Political and Economic Instead
of Religious.
By ANNA N. BINFOItl)
The ralestine moon was so bright
that it hurts your eyes and the stars
seemed t i stick out of the black sky.
It was impossible to stay inside when
the stone walks were gleaming and
when the air was cool after a white
hot day. In spite of warnings in Kep
temb r. Ifltiti, we ventured out on the
road and no sooner had we done so
than a bomb went off about a mile
away. We didn't stay to ask questions,
but learned later that it hit a cow—an
awful thing because there are only a
few cowjs and they give nothing but
skimmed milk. The Arab strike lasted
three we-.-ks—the English trying to
frighten the Arabs and the Arabs mak
ing enough trouble to keep tlie English
on guard.
The strike was called off but the
problem remains. The Arabs are still
as determined to save their home, the
only one they've known for generations,
and establish the government promised
tliem by the mandate when they helped
oust the Turks.
The Jews have needed a place to go
which they could call their own, a
place where they could feel at home
and could live in peace and esteem and
wo have sympathized with them in
their effort. They will never find this
in Palestine. We have forgotten the
people whe.se home it is. We have taken
only one point of view. The issue be
tween Jews and Arabs is 110 longer
primarily religious. It is political and
economical. I feel that some Jews have
used Biblical quotations as justifica
tion for entering to set up 11 political
home while large numbers of the new
Jews observe 110 religious rites.
The point that carries over into (he
world problems is this: we must not
form opinions about foreign situations
from just the information that we re
ceive in our national papers.

TRAINS QUAKERS
Drama to Play New and Impor
tant Role in College
Curriculum.
PURPOSE IS THREE-FOLD
The excess of dramatic aspirations
among Uuilfordlans lias taken the spot
light tliis fall through tlie new dramatic
class, wlileli has been initia ed into
the (inilford College curriculum l>y Roli
ert Marshall, assistant professor of
English. Although the new class was
not advertised, i; lias proved itself to be
one of the most popular courses offered.
Its enrollment had to be limited be
fore the close of the first week of
school.
The purpose of the class, according
to Mr. Marshall. t.s three-fold: to give
each member of the class the necessary
knowledge and experience to produce
plays in various communities; to give
the fundamental knowledge of acting,
makeup, stage design and costume; and
to assist every student ill the selecting
and art of producing plays in whatever
situation he finds himself. 111 addition
to laboratory work the class will do
an extensive amount of reading to ac
quaint themselves in the tielil of pro
ducible pla.vs in modern situations. In
other words, the class is proving itself
to be as disappointing as Hollywood to
any young star who considered himself
getting into something easy, as Mr.
Marshall hacks Hollywood whole
heartedly when it comes to taking the
ease out of stardom.
Mr. Marshall was a Guilford grad
uate' in the class of '2.">, at which time
lie received the Ilnverford Scholarship.
After taking his M A. from Ilnverford
he did graduate work at the University
of North Carolina and al Harvard. Sev
eral years of teaching experience fol
lowed and then Mr. Marshall traveled
in Kurope, where among oilier places,

They suddenly appeared, those Eng

Edmund Harvey, member of the British
Parliament, Francis 11. Knight, execu

Robert Davis, extension secretary of
Wondbrooke College'. Their visits varied
in length, coming as tliey did at dif

of Friends at Philadelphia.
Woodbrooke's representative, .Mr.
Davis, was present on Sunday morn
ing to speak at New Garden Meeting.
Mr. Knight was on band for a chapel
program and visited several classes for
impromptu appearances.
We bad mure time to become ac
quainted with Mr. Ilarvey, who, in
addition to his classroom participation,
spoke at cliapel programs on Wednes
day and Thursday of last week, met
with an educational group at New (Jar

Harvey's diseas-ion of English parlia

reforms were breathing spells from our
dictatorial and Iv. K. K. prospects. Al
together, bis information and the con

more lasting our memory of the ac
