VOLUME XXXIV
Tuxedo Dance Set for March 13
Rules Clarified
For New Council;
Proposals Made
Members of the WSG have been
very busy revising the rules and
clarifying them to present to the
Faculty Counselling Committee.
They will have them ready for
the new Council when it takes
iiltice after spring vacation.
Joint meetings of the Men's and
Women's Student Governments have
resulted in the appointment, of n
committee to draw up regulations
and procedures to be followed in
using the honor system. It. has
been snggested that an honor board
made up of students and faculty to
take care of any infractions of the
honor system. After a chapel pro
gram sponsored by both Councils,
at which the honor system and proc
tor system were discussed, it was
decided to continue with the honor
system and to put forth definite
efforts to make it work successfully.
At a mass meeting of the women
students, a proposal to create house
councils at Mary Ilobbs and Foun
ders dorms was voted down. The
house councils would have the power
to give stated punishments for minor
infractions of the rules, and take
care of matters in the dormitory,'
not related to the council. Founders
Hail will have a House Council for
its own convenience and unification.
It was decided to present a pro
posal ratifying the constitution to
the girls at house meetings, in the
separate dorms. The only change
suggested was that of not nominat
ing a vice-president, but giving the
office to the candidate for president
who received the second highest
number of votes. This proposal has
not been voted on yet by the women.

NUMBER 7
Officers of Guilford College's
newest organization, the Pen
guin Club, have announced that
members of the novel group will
sponsor a"strictly formal "dance
011 Saturday, March 13, in the
college gymnasium. Dancing will
be from 8:30 until 11:30 to the
music of Maurice Purtill and liis
orchestra.
Realizing that Guilford bad
never enjoyed a dance other
than an informal or semi-formal
affair, the group was organized
For the express and sole purpose
of sponsoring a formal dance in
which all male guests will wear
tuxedos or tails. Another step
towards initiativeness is that the
group has decided that this dance
shall be without flowers. Women
guests will not be admitted to
the gymnasium witli corsages.
This was decjded upon after
lengthy deliberation on the part
of club officials and members.
All Are Invited
The dance is not, contrary to
sonic opinions, exclusive to members.
Rather it is sponsored by the mem
liers for all Guilford College stu
dents. There will be absolutely no
admission charge on the part of any
individual. The dance will be fi
nanced by contributions by the act
ive members of the club. However,
any student who desires to become
a charter member of the Penguin
Club can still do so by contacting
"Lefty" Halls or Ed Skinner, presi
dent and secretary-treasurer reflec
tively.
All indications point to one of
the best, dances ever staged at the
college. I'urtiU's hand lias been
steadi.v building up a reputation
that has already reached New York
and West coast music eenters.
I'urtill, you will remember, was the
ace drummer with Glenn Miller's
great band before Miller entered
the service, lie lias recorded many
numbers with Miller and appeared
in a featured role in the motion
picture, "Sun Ya 1 ley Serenade."
inent : an 11 piece aggregation plus
I'urtill will bring bis full hand to
! (iiiiford for the evenings entertain
a girl vocalist. Incidentally, musi
[ cal standouts in his sweet-swing
outfit include two former members
of liobhy Sherwood's band and the
former arranger for Tommy Dor
set's crew.
Members of the Dance Committee
have also announced that any of the
girls, on campus are welcome to in
vite any ontsiTle guest to accom
pany them to the affair. Please
remember that all guests must be
registered with the Dean of Women
before 110011, March 13.
For the information of those who
are without tuxedos, it is a com
paratively easy job to rent them
from any of the men's clothing
stores in Greensboro. The price of
renting will not be any more than
the price of a ticket and corsage
that you have bought, for previous
dances.
It is emphasized by club officials
that the purpose of this dance is
not to make money, not to discrimi
nate against anyone, but to sponsor
a dance which everyone will enjoy
in an atmosphere that will be new

ceived your invitation so make
