VOLUME XXXV
Christmas Dance Opens Holiday Season

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

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

Guilford College Band
Gives Chapel Program
The Guilford College Hand, whic-h
is now entering its second year,
presented a program of music in
chapel on December 6.
The band presented n varied pro
gram, starting off with the type of
music they play best, a march en
titled "Under the Double Eagle."
This was rendered well, as were
"E Pluribus Unum," and "Foot
lifters."
The overture, "Morning, Noon and
Night in Vieimn" was a valiant at
tempt, with nothing accomplished.
The group redeemed themselves
with ita.vid Bennett's "Bad Hoy
Boogie AVoogie." Some of the more
energetic boogie fans were restrain
ed from dancing in the aisles. It
was well executed, keeping in mind 1
the few practices the hand has held..
