VOLUME XXXV Christmas Dance Opens Holiday Season M I H BETTY HENDRIX GERRY ROBERSON S. C. A. Adds Over One Hundred to Growing Membership The Student Christian Associa tion has inauguarated its main pro gram of the year in establishing a strong organization through its yearly membership drive. Over 100 persons have received membership cards and more are ex pected to join. The SCA has taken new life by the large attendance of these members to a Sunday night fellowship supper in the Hut. Many students and organizations were glad to hear that the Hut is being equipped with a stove and dishes, enough to feed almost any campus group. Since there has been a good response in the use at this building, the SCA plans a general renovation, which will probably in clude pine panelings for the office and kitchen. The SCA is considering the pur chase of an automatic record player. However, some of the members feel this unwise for two reasons. First, there would be little use for one, and second, records broken would not IK> replaced. But if the students want the record player, and would use it wisely, means are available to but one. Comments on this will be appreciated. All private parties and organiza tions can hold socials and business meetings in the Hut, with the per mission of the Dean of Women. Second semester, regular faculty visitations on Sunday night are in the SCA plans.

World Federalism Is Chapel Talk Topic Robert Lee Humber, noted author ity on world federalism, urged the formation of a world government in speeches at Guilford College on Friday, December 10. Mr. Humber, a citizen of North Carolina and a Rhodes scholar, was the guest speaker during the Friday evening lecture period, and also addressed the student body in chapel. In a clear, convincing voice, he cited the useulessness of diplomacy and treaties in maintaining peace, and said that only world political organization with laws would bring about world order Stating that science has industrialized society, and therefore internationalized it, he spoke of the need for world auth ority for the people of this rapidly integrating world community. In his evening lecture, Mr. Hum ber elaborated on the ways in which world federation could come about, eclaring that the 1'.X.0. in its pres ent form is inadequate as a world authority, he advocated the calling of a conference, under the U.N. charter, to give this organization the (Continued oil Page Tiro) lender of the Quaker peace program and the World Federalist movement, present his analysis of the chaotic world situation. Questioning the reasons behind American and Rus sian rivalry, Mr. Levering rejected as invalid the revenge motivation. Neither the economic situations of the two countries nor "holy" ideolo gies are tenahle as valid reasons for the arms race since both coun tries are self-sufficient materially and have a just share of world markets and since neither country is reluctant to entice, under its (Continued on Page Tiro) GI'ILFORI) COLLEGE, N.
