New Books Augment Scope
Of Library Browser Store
Now that exams are over and new i
courses underway, you'll want to do
some browsing in the library. Now
books in various fields are nc(|uired
liretty steadily. You can run the gamut
from the heavier tomes to those design
ed for light reading.
Among the airier volumes is Willa
father's Sii/iliim mill the sluri• dirt,
a character sketch concerning a Vir
ginian liuly and a slave girl. Especially
recommended is Robert Nathan's Por
trait of Jennie. a book which, like the
other Nathan books, draws a great
deal of its strange beauty from the
simplicity of lis language.
Then there is Cove's 1 'anessa iml J
the /trail, based on Jonathan Swift's
longest poem.
In the literary realm, too, is It7u7-i
mini by 1 lolloway, another biography
of the great poet from Brooklyn, and
Their llYrc the Hrimtex, by Cornish.
There seems to be an excessive sup
ply of books concerning early America.

THE GUILFORDIAN
Gym Socials Limited
The gymnasium will be open dur
ing social hour from 7 to 7:30 on
Tuesday and Thursday evenings
only. It will be closed on either of
these nights, if a basketball game
coincides.
Last semester, the gymnasium
was open nightly, except oil Satur
days and Sundays. The change in
schedule was made because of the
sparsity of attendance, and the dif
ficulty of obtaining chaperones.
It is hoped that interest will
be greater with the new schedule
in effect.

expect to study two main things,"
said Dr. Beittel. "namely, to study
what scientific bases we have for racial
differences, and to make an analysis
of the studies of mental differences

racial attitudes, and shall work in co

Hayes' Use of Finger-Play
Lures 'Life' Photographer
By BETTK BAILEY
To win tin* interest of IM\ Frauds
llnyes, of Guilford's modern language
department, mid, incidentally, of "Life"
magazine, you must spurn the common
places of loud-mouthed speech, and re
sort to devious and tortuous gesticula
tions, or folk gestures, to convey your
meaning.
Next week "Life" photograpliers will
descend upon Guilford college emnpus
to interview l>r. Hayes, whose un
usual hobby of collecting folk ges
tures has aroused mueli attention re
cently. Pictures to illustrate a proposed
story on ''gesticulating humanity" will
lie taken, subjects being for the most
part foreign students, of Guilford and :
\V. ('. U'. X. ('.) or those having lived
in foreign countries.
I)r. Hayes began a fascinating study
of folklore ten years ago, and it is
only in the last year and a half that
he lias been specializing on the gesti
culations of various peoples.
NUMBER 7
S. A. B. Recommends
Unprecedented Lift
In Appropriations
A student activities budget calling
for the expenditure of .ss,>os during
the school year 1041-42, the largest
ever recommended by the Student Af
fairs board, will lie submitted to the
student body for final consideration
Wednesday at the chapel period.
Despite a slight decrease in college
enrollment and the waiving of funds
by the Debates council, the Student
Affairs board, co-ordinating body for
undergraduate organizations, lias ap
proved a $270 increase over the appro
priations granted for the current
school year. Fifteen sharing organiza
tions made original requests totaling
ss,(Mil .50, tlie basis of the board's esti
mate.
The appropriations, as stipulated in
the proposed measure, will be met from
an estimated income of $5,025 based
on the collection of a .sls student ac
tivities fee from each of 335 enrollees,
and from an unappropriated surplus
from past years which now totals
$027.15.
The board, with but one minor

Professor Wetzel has spent most of

istry.
lii oriler to understand exactly what
n folk gesture Is, it is important to
lie nliie to differentiate or distinguish
it from other gestures, such as techni
cal and nervous gestures. The sign lan
guage of the North American Indian,
or that of the deaf and dumb, sema
phor signaling, and umpire signaling
are classed by I)r. Ilayes as technical
gestures, while "doodling," opening and
closing objects carried in I lie hand,
and swinging a watch chain are all in
cluded in nervous gestures.
Folk gestures are therefore limited
to traditional actions, typical of a peo
ple. A general classification would in
clude nodding the head, shaking hands
in greetings, shaking list in defiance,,
pouting, biting the lips iu vexation,
and lifting the eyebrows.
Hcing more specific, one would ob
serve. as did Dr. Ilayes, the different
mannerisms of a Cuban and an Amer
ican iu the same situation. Upon be
