The 13th meet inn of the North
Carolina State Student Legislature
whit'h was held in Italeigh Decem
ber 1 through 3 was a great suc
cess to all concerned. Not only was
it a great success, but two things
happened for the first time: a Guil
ford delegate lie-came an officer, and
a resolution wlas passed censuring
a newspaper.
To go over these one by one: a
Guilford delegate had never before
been an officer, but this time Guil
ford supplied not one but two of the
ten officers. In the House, John
Clark was elected sergeant-nt-arms,
while Garland Rakestraw held this
sfctnie office in the Senate. On Fri
day evening the Raleigh Times print
ed' a picture of the officers of the
House on page one. Conforming to
their usual policy of not printing
non-segregated pictures, the parlia
mentarian, a Negro, had his picture
cut from the print. Senator Mor
ton Salkind of Guilford wrote a res
olution censuring and publicly re
buking tine lilaieigh Times, and it
passed both the House and Senate.
Many interesting bills were taken
up by the Legislature. The Senate
after some debate passed an ex
tensive Civil Rights bill. A sob
bing Bennett College girl brought
tears to the eyes of many in the
House as she cried, "How can you
be so prejudiced?" The House passed
ft Civil Bights bill, but not us ex

Finally a compromise was enacted.
Both houses, after a good deal
of debate and an attempted filibus
ter by Wake Forest and Stlate,
passed a bill condemning loyalty
tests for teachers In the Univer
sity of North Carolina.
Amid many cries of "Unconstitu
tional" and "This is Socialism," a
bill providing for a state electrical
project similar to the T.V.A. was
defeated in the Senate and tabled
in the House.
The big fight came over a bill
commending Governor Scott for his
"go forward" program. The oppo
sition consisted of Wake Forest,
State, and Elon. They tried in every
way to stymie the bill from going
through, but it finally passed both
houses. Wake Forest, State and
Elon went on record as opposing
the bill: Carolina went on record
as in favor of it: Guilford College
was split on the bill.
Guilford College introduced a bill
providing for an Academy of Social
Scientists to advise the Legislature.
After limited debate, both the House
and Sentate passed the bill.
The Guilford delegation elected
Betty Jane Hughes to the Interim
Council for 1050.
To summarize: we all feel the
1949 session of the Legislature was
a great success, and hope the 1950
session will be just as successful.
THE GUILFORDIAN
Student Sees Radio
As Possible Harm
To College Student
By EARL TYSON
Is radio pernicious to the efforts
of the student in applying himself
to his studies? Possibly many of
you will consider this question in
ane, but it is one that is not to be
ainswered with disregard. To an
swer any question satisfactorily,
one should weigh both views with
care before reaching a decision
that suffices.
The need for the individual stu
dent to ask himself this question
and to coine forth with a satisfac
tory answer is palpable. No doubt
many of you would reply if asked
this question personally, "Why 110,
of course not. When I wish to lis
ten to the radio, I do so. And when
I need to study, I do so. But I
wouldn't say that the radio is a
hindrance to my studying." Be re
minded that the daily act of switch
ing on the dial of the radio may
easily become a habit, the same
as smoking, drinking, or even eating
and sleeping, and we all know how
difficult it is to dispose of those
habits once we have acquired them.
There are approximately 150 ra
dios on our campus. How many
of these are listened to less than
two hours a day? That is totaling
the amount of time spent by all
the occupants of the rooms wherein
radios are located. Very few, we
would say. Let's see now,—two
limes 150 gives us 300, we observe.
So, that's 300 radio hours daily
that could very easily be trans
formed into study hours. Can you
imagine the results in Miss I-as
ley's office if 300 more hours were
spent daily by the students in pre
paring their studies?
Now we ask ourselves the ques
tion: what of the disjwirate knowl
edge that is received from the two
hours that are spent daily listening
to the radio? By the radio much
light is thrown on current events.
Prom the radio we receive daily
information concerning the happen
ings throughout the universe. Many
think that the relaxation, recrea
tion, and information which is
received by the radio is definitely
indispensable, and that the knowi
ede gained by the two "radio hours"
could never be matched in value by
spending these two hours reading
text-books. Do you agree?
There is much worthless enter
tainment on radio, and also a con
siderable amount of the facts and
figures Which we attain from our
books will never lie helpful in
our daily living. The question has
been asked. The answer depends
entirely upon you.
We have 110 desire to transform
any of you into "bookworms," but
neither do we want you to be servile
fans of radio.
