SWIMMING AREA IN LAKE PROPOSED
S. C. k.Holds
'Cynic's Clinic'
The S. C. A. conducted one of
the most successful religious em
phasis weeks in several years on
the campus during April 4-8. The
"Campus S-N-A-F-U" program fea
tured Leonard Detweiler of Johns
Hopkins University. Alvah L. Mil
ler, Secretary of the Near East
Foundation; Sankey L. Blanton,
President of Crozer Theological
Seminary, and Gordon W. Lovejoy,
Educational Consultant for the Na
tional Conference of Christians and
Jews, were on the program, which
was intended to "destroy the stu
dents' cynical attitude." This was
the last program of which the 1950-
1951 S. C. A. Cabinet had charge.
However, many of the new cabinet
members helped out on the "Cyn
ic's Clinic."
The program started off under
the name of "Campus S-N-A-F-U."
However, before the week end was
over most people were referring
to it as the "Cynic's Clinic." Many
weeks of extensive planning on the
part of the S. C. A. Cabinet went
into the successful week end. The
wonderful response on the part of
the students was due mainly to
good planning and the magnetic
personality of Mr. Detweiler.
At the Wednesday chapel, Joshua
Crane introduced the whole
"S-N-A-F-U" program and present
ed Mr. Detweiler. Mr. Detweiler
immediately won the respect and
good will of the students. His sub
ject was "The Students' Cynical
Attitude."
Wednesday afternoon Mr. Det
weiler spoke to the S. C. A. Cab
inet on "Guilford's S. C. A. and
Johns Hopkins' 'Y'." Sally Haire,
the new 1951-1952 President of the
S. C. A., was in charge of this meet
ing.
Wednesday evening a panel dis
cussion on "What's Wrong With
Guilford College" was held. Hank
Semmler was moderator. Dr. Muri
el Tomlinson, Morton Salkind, and
Mr. J. Floyd Moore headed up the
panel. Dr. Tomlinson suggested
that the faculty quit treating the
students like babies. She said if
they expect students to act like ma
ture people they must be treated
that way. Morton Salkind re
emphasized Dr. Tomlinson's stand
and brought out the lack of stu
dent participatiin in extra-curricu
lar actvities. Pete Moore conclud
ed the short talks with a very thor
ough evaluation of the college.
On Thursday morning Dr. Love
joy of the National Conference of
Christians and Jews gave a very
interest talk on group relations and
spoke to the sociology classes. That
evening a panel discussion on the
subject, "Is Pacifism Practical?"
was held. Great interest was shown
by the students in this. Mr. Car
rol Feagins and Dr. Crownfield
stood on the pro side of the ques
tion, while Dr. Raymond Smith of
Greensboro College and Dr. Rich
ard Bardolph of Woman's College
held down the con side. Dr. E. G.
Purdom was moderator. Even
though the question was not given
full treatment because pf the lim
ited time, this meeting served to
create a great deal of interest and
discussion among the students.

Cameron of Southern Pines, who
realizes the depths of his nature.
Two other women, Alda, Daga Ham
mond of New York City, and Rho
da, Lucy Leake of Winston-Salem,

There is compelling interest as
the play progresses, and the Prince

Students, Faculty Would Furnish
Labor; School Furnish Materials
A student-faculty proposal to construct a swimming area in
the new lake will go before the Board of Trustees today. The
measure would assure student-faculty labor, with the college

dropped for a number of reasons, according to Mr. Parsons,
Guilford's Business Manager.

"Filtration processes would cost,
• initially, approximately SIO,OOO, if
they were to meet state health re
quirements, and the Federal Gov
' ernment will not allow more than
$750 for such a project at this time.
Also, liquid chlorine, which would
be indispensable for the filtration,
is becoming practically non-existent
for commercial purposes because
of the Korean war," Mr. Parsons
said.
According to President Milner,
a student committee, composed of
class presidents and the respective
presidents of the two Student Gov
ernments, and headed by Doctor
Purdom, has presented the pro
posal to build a swimming area in
connection with the lake. The
measure apparently will meet little
opposition in the Board of Trustees.
The swimming area would in
clude a sand-bottomed non-swim
mers' area, and a pier with a diving
board for swimmers.
Doctor Milner, in commenting
on Board of Trustees action, stated
that the need for swimming, boat
ing, and fishing facilities has long
been felt, and that the Board of
Trustees has for some time had
plans of constructing such facilities.
The construction of the proposed
swimming area would depend al
most entirely on student-faculty
cooperation in offering the labor,
while the school would furnish the
necessary materials.
Authorities expressed the hope
that the students would throw full
support behind the project, should
it be approved by the Board of
Trustees.
