Miss Mildred Marlette Has More Jobs Than Actual Time By Darrell Peeler Miss Mildred Marlette is one woman who has more jobs than time in which to perform them. Officially, she is Dean of Women, Assistant Professor of English, and a member of Historical Committee, the group which cares for Guil ford's priceless Quaker records. In addition to these duties, how ever, she serves as part-time in firmary nurse, mender of broken hearts, Mother Confessor, adviser to budding authors, arbiter of thousands of minor squabbles, and champion of law and order. Varied Background Young and energetic, as indeed she must be to cope with 144 young women, Miss Marlette has an ex cellent background for the touchy job she holds. Born near Graham, N. C„ she graduated from Guilford in 1935, and taught eight years in North Carolina secondary schools, taking time out to serve three years as a Link Trainer Instructor (with a rating equivalent to that of a Chief Petty Officer) in the WAVES. In 1946 she went to Carolina, where she did graduate work in English and served as Instructor in the English Department, taking her Master's degree in 1947. After a year's work toward the doctorate, she came to Guilford in 1948 as Dean of Women, and has served continuously in that capacity since. A Few Questions In connection with her military service, the writer felt compelled to put forth these questions. Q.

The contest will be under the leadership of Guilfordian columnist, Ed Berey, and five of the campus beauties will select "Guilford's Most Appealing Beard." Final results will be kept secret and published in the next issue of the paper. During this contest it is expect ed that not one steel blade will scrape a tender face, not a brush tary service for women, either as a career or for a short period?" A. "No. I say that largely be cause military service is a rigorous life few girls enjoy, and because it is an initiative killer. The deprivations outweigh the benefits. For a woman a little older, with a fine sense of discrimi nation. who knows she wants to go . . ." "Problem Girls" At this point we picked up the threads of the interview, and the next question concerned the job of being Dean. It's pretty hard some times, she admits. She spends many hours figuring out the hap piest solutions to the parade of (Continued on Page Tiro) MISS MARLETTE GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 16, 1951 will be lathered, nor an electric razor plugged in. Over 200 males are expected to participate. The number of girls is questionable. Columnists Viewpoint In an interview yesterday columnist Berey said: "From time to time in the past, individual girls have been able to demonstrate the strength of their wills over their boyfriends, and these unfortunate males have to expose their shame with whisker less chins for all eyes to see. So it is an open question as to whether or not the "weaker" sex will be able to squelch this masculine show nf independence to once-and-for all demonstrate who really wears the pants in the family. Good luck men, you are on your own. Guilford Accelerates With Summer Work Guilford College officials an nounced an accelerated summer school program to aid students ex pecting to be inducted into service.

Good Time Had at Successful Guilford Valentine Dance The Social Committee-sponsored Annual Valentine Dance was an other success to add to the long line of Social Committee highlights in the last two years. ' Many thanks are due to Lucy Leake, chairman of the committee; Harry Roeske, head of the Deco rations Committee; and Polly Ed gerton, head of the Refreshment Committee. The music furnished by Frank Justice's old Johnny Satterfield's band was of excellent variety. He mixed just enough jitterbug numbers and rhumbas with straight dance numbers to make it inter esting. He even played one very enjoyable Mexican Hat dance on request. Martha Warren's Russian tea and the rest of the refreshments drew many compliments as did Ed Be rey's girl and her bare midriff evening gown. By consensus of opinion all the girls were raving beauties and all the men were most handsome gen tlemen.
