Ask at the Desk and
No Card-Playing Aloud
By SHIRLEY WILLIAMS
If you go in there after you've been
out in the bright sunlight, you're apt
to crash into another groping form and
if you stop to listen you can hear the
hollow echoing of feet down its cata
combie aisles. No! This isn't a medi
eval dungeon or a New York subway
blackout, but the Guilford College libra
ry stacks, stax or stacs, for non-fiction
100 through 700.
Some ambitious students trot back to
study in its monastic solitude every
night, witness Clinton Tally with his
French book and Jinnie Jordan buried
in her religion. Others find it a restful
place to sleep (the light can be turned
out easier according to Dot Hersey and
Ben Runkle). Then there are those like
Joe Leak who just followed the crowd
during the recent seat shortage out in

Moore Says College
Has Filled Capacity
No More Applications for
Acceptance Can Be Taken
Till New Space Is Available
Applications for entrance next fall
Into Guilford College are rapidly be
coming a mountainous pile in .T. Floyd
"Pete" Moore's Public Relations Office.
Guilfords limited dormitory space is
not adequate to take care of this
"boom" in prospective student enroll
ment.
It Is the desire of the college to have
no more than a total of four hundred
students: 150 women students, 150 men
students, and 100 "day hops." During
the war years, this ratio was, of
course, impossible and both Archdale
Hall and "Yankee Stadium" of Cox
Hall were inhabited by girls. Now,
however, with the increasing enroll
ment of veterans, the Guilford campus
has taken on a more normal aspect.
Cox Hall Is so crowded right now
that not another person could move in
without forcing someone to live in the
hall. So, in order to accept any of the
39 already definite applications received
from men, Archdale is once more being
claimed by members of the male stu
dent body, while present occupants
make plans to occupy rooms in Mary

the library and found themselves back
in the stacks.
"Hey Herman, get a load of the
shoulders on that player, that's me in
high school," is a stage whisper that
frequently comes out of the gloom.
"Frisco," Bill Feeney, and Herman
Bratne can be seen any night of the
week crouched on all fours looking up
their pass prowess in old Daily fiews.
"Hul-lo L>r. Vic-to-rious," says "Fris
co" assuming his most studious air as
he spies Dr. "Vicky" coming in to rum
mage through piles of back New York
Times.
There have been talcs in the past and
no doubt in the future of fond campus
lovers who do not care to have their
rendezvous publically. When it was

Building Project To
Get Under Way This Spring
Three building projects are now re
ceiving attention in the campus de
velopment program. The Trustee Build
ing Committee met with the college
architect, A. C. Woodroof, in Greens
boro on March 13. The committee ad
vised him to proceed with revised
sketches of the girls' dormitory with
the hope of placing final plans and
specifications in the hands of builders
for bids within the next few weeks.
The new dormitory for girls will be
situated north of Mary Hobbs Hall and
west of Founders. It will house 50
girls. Also there will be a room for
the head resident and a guest room.
Women day students will have a room
and showers on the lower floor.
The 20 prefabricated housing units
allotted by the Federal Public Author
ity will be in three buildings to be
located in the orchard area north of
Mary Hobbs. Two buildings will have
six apartments each and one will have
eight aparatments. The apartments will
be equipped with gas ranges, gas hot
water heaters, and ice refrigerators.
Plot and utility plans are in progress
now.
In the front section of the gymnas
ium, a memorial room for Coach Bob
Doak will be completed soon. This will
be the athletic trophy room and lounge
for men. There will also be a lounge
room for the women's athletic associa
tion. On the second floor there will be
a physical education classroom.

Martha Belle Edgerton, and Paulie
Fuller, Grace Siler, Betty Anne Brown
and Kay Wood, members of the

'l'm Going To Do Mine
Now/ Said the Sophomore
By JEANNE VAN LEER
Senior thesises or theses, if you must,
be technical, are the bane of a Guil
ford collegian's life. Webster defines
a thesis as an essay or treatise on a
particular subject presented by a can
didate for a degree ; or that part of the
foot which had the ictus. From the
way theses are talked about, I would
naturally take the latter definition;
theses are so much talked about and
kicked around, to say the least.
A senior, one who spends three and
three quarter years deciding what to
write on, can generally be seen in
Clyde's. They differ from other bipeds
in that they appear, on the surface.

more worried about the state of affairs,
and their conversation includes but
two phrases, both very significant, (to
seniors) : "How mutclia got done?" to
which the answer is Invariably, "Noth
ing, not due till April 15." The seniors
then relax again, their daily ritual
completed, and prepare themselves to
enjoy the soothing strains of "Hey
Boppa re-Bop." Oh, for the life of a
senior.
Occasionally one is spotted in the
library. Rarely, however, does this oc

library, Snaki Knight can be heard to
