Other Changes Made
Eddie Hirayabashi, president of
the Student Affairs Board, has an
nounced that there are to be sev
eral changes in the board for this
school year.
Joe Lesley was appointed to head
a committee to bring the Student
Affairs Board Constitution up to
date. He is to be assisted by Eliza
beth Hare, Dorry Loesges, and Dr.
Newlin as faculty advisor.
The Points Committee lias
worked out a system by which each
student ottice holds a certain uum
i her of points, and set up specifica
tions that a student enrolled in the
! school must maintain in order to be
i able to hold office. Roxie Koberson
' is chairman of this group, and she

to help finance those who are sent
as delegates to different conferences
during the year. A committee lias
been formed to handle the problems
that may arise such as, how much
should be given to the delegate,
and what conferences are construc

to send a delegate. This commit

'' "Of course the domitory repre
sentatives understand that the large
majority of the veterans are anx
iously awaiting their substistenee
cheeks, but we hope the temporary
lacak of funds will not deter them
from making their pledges," Mr.
Lusley stated.
Ordinarily, students signing their
pledge cards are requested to pay
half at the time they sign and the
remainder by November 12. How
ever, all pledges will be gratefully
received in any case and arrange
ments can be made with the Chest
representative to pay whenever con
venient.
Single Drive
The outstanding feature of this
year's drive is that it is incorporat
ing many different nationally known
and recognized drives into just one.
This consolidation will be appreci
ated when students are reminded
that in 1!>41 Guilford College had
seven different drives on the campus
ranging from the Salvation Army
to Bundles for Britain.
This innovation should prove to
be successful in that students will
only lie asked for one contribution
this year and that single donations
will be split into four different,
worthwhile agencies. The American
Bed Cross, the American Friends
Service Committee, World Students
Service Fund and the Greensboro
Community Chest will all profit by
money pledged to the Campus Chest
Drive.
Another aspect that may be con
strued as a bit different from the
ordinary drive is that if the contrib
utor should entertain any partic
ular desire to help one of these
organizations more so than another,
he is permitted to check the par
ticular relief work that he wishes
his money to help. As an example,
if John Jones wishes to donate If.'!
and checks the Bed Cross, the
American Friends Service Commit
tee and the World Students Service
Fund, then each of these worth
while relief agencies shall receive
$1 apiece.
Chapel Talk Recalled
Students will remember the talk
given by Miss Eleanor Durham in
Chapel period a few weeks ago in
which she stressed the almost in
credulous needs of the school chil
dren of war ravaged Europe and
Asia, fart of the money raised on
Guilford's campus will go to the
organization Miss Durham repre
sented : the World Students Serv
ice Fund. With headquarters in
Geneva, Switzerland, their world
wide motto is well worthwhile pon
dering, "There is 110 quarrel be
tween the youth of the world."
"I certainly hope that the Gull-
I ford students will contribute as
much as they feel they can afford
to part with. Last years drive un
dertaken for the World Students
Service Fund averaged only fifty
cents per person throughout the
United States. This year, more than
ever before, students all over the
world are depending upon your sup
port and we can't let them down
after what they've done for us.
Books and buildings are what they
need now and with your help and
cooperation we can see that they
have both," Mr. Basley concluded.
Dormitory representatives are:
Founders Hall, Eldora Ilaworth;
Mary Ilobbs Hall, Bachel Thomas;
'The Pines, Eleanor Corneilson; Cox
Hall, Jack White; Archdale Hall,
John Charles Bush; day students,
Jim Bouectae; pre-fabs, Grimsley
Hobbs.
