Archdale
That big bandage Walt Satter
thwaite is sporting around campus
came to me because his transpor
tation bit him. He was operating
the choke lever on the carburetor
of his T-model with his left hand
while he tinkered with the wiring
with his right. The T-model, tem
peramental by resented
this feeling around and backfired
through the open air intake, spray
ing Walt's hand with blazing gaso
line. The result was third-degree
burns and a determination to sell
a T-model—cheap.
Achdale now has a shiny new
bulletin board, complete with let
tering as soon as Jack Andrews
gets around to it, to proclaim the
news of the hour and the assign
ments of the freshmen who are to
be captains of the head. The large
board, of fiber composition, has
met with complete approval of the
inmates, who consider it a con
rtibution on a par with the inven
tion of the wheel.
The Guilford-Atlantic Telephone
Company (Carr, Collins, Satter
thwaite, et al.) is making slow
but steady progress toward service
for the dormitories.
Vic Vet jayj
Korean Vels Get
Certain Benefits
(Special to the Guilfordian)
Winston-Salem.—Many veterans
of the Korean campaign—both able
bodied and disabled —are joining
the ranks of those who are enti
tled to certain benefits, the Vet
erans Administration disclosed to
day.
Ever since fighting started in the
Pacific theater of operations in
June, 1950, Congress has made
more and more World War II ben
efiits available to the nation's new
est crop of veterans.
As an example, the VA pointed
out, disabled Korean veterans now
drawing compensation may get in
on the same program of vocational
rehabilitation originally set up for
their World War II buddies.
Commenting further, VA said:
"If they are disabled in combat
or on extra-hazardous duty, or
aggravated an old condition under
those circumstances, they are eli
gible for study or training, if they
need vocational rehabilitation to
overcome their handicaps."
Latest available figures show
that more than two hundred Kore
an veterans over the nation already
have aplied for vocational reha
bilitation. In North Carolina, Re
gional Manager J. D. Deßamus
said the number of applications
from Korean campaigners for vo
cational rehabilitation number ap
proximately 12, with four already
in training at various points in
the state.
Also being fulfilled, VA said, is
its pledge to provide unsurpassed
hospital care for all veterans so
entitled. Of the hundreds of Ko
rean veterans in VA hospitals over
the country, better than 50 per
cent have been determined to be
service-connected cases, VA said.
And then there was the puppy
who got sick when restricted to a
diet of scraps from Founders din
ing room. Guess the poor dog just
wasn't conditioned to it!

Founders
Approximately seventy-five fresh
man and sophomore girls gathered
in the parlors of Founders Hall
Friday night, October 5, to bring
to a close Freshman - Sophomore
Day. The sophomores were enter
tained by the freshmen for the
last time.
In appreciation of the good
sportsmanship shown by the fresh
man girls during their initiation,
the sophomores served sandwiches
and cokes.
The party broke up with a feeling
of fellowship between the two ri
val classes.
Dramatics Council
Plans To Present
Several Plays
The Dramatics Council, at a
called meeting, decided to give a
comedy-drama play this fall, but
did not reach a decision as to which
one, according to Bob Wall, mem
ber of the Council. The group
discussed the possibility of giving
two short plays in addition to the
regular three-act plays given in
the fall and spring. The shorter
plays would probably be two acts,
Wall said.
Rehearsals for the first of the
regular three-act plays will begin
within the next week, and mem
bers of the Council expressed the
hope that a large crowd would turn
out for tryouts.
Last year, the Dramatics Coun
cil gave two outstanding plays,
"Our Town" and "Death Takes a
Holiday," in what was considered
one of the most successful seasons
I the group has known.
Choir Plans Year,
Elects Officers
The Guilford College A Cappella
Choir has begun another year, this
time with 51 members, of which
13 are freshmen. Director Charles
Coll Underwood has made big plans
for the Choir, and he expresses
high hopes for its success in 1951-52.
Highlights on the Choir's calen
dar this year are a trip to Raleigh
on November 4 to open Religious
Emphasis Week on the State Col
lege campus, a spring concert tour
to New York, and possibly the New
England States, and a performance
of Bach's "St. Matthew Passion"
in May.
Rehearsals for the "St. Matthew
Passion" are held on Tuesday night
from 7:30 until 9 P.M. and are
open to anyone on campus, in the
community, or in the surrounding
area who wishes to participate.
The public is cordially invited to
come join the regular choir in pre
senting this great work.
Officers were elected as a recent
meeting of the choir. Jeane Wal
ton, president, and Billy Harris,
manager, were elected in the spring
elections last year. The following
officers were elected by the Choir
this year: publicity co-chairmen,
Bob Ralls and Elsa Neitzka; libra
rians, Betsy Farlow and Bob Achar,
chiefs, and Beamon Griffin, Mait
land Freed, Florence Brice, and
Carolyn Lindley; robe master, Bill
Sartin; robe mistresses, Bert Live
zey and Carol Grace Browne; stage

tation manager, James Wade; at
tendance recorder for Tuesday

Briles Elected IRC

At the last I. R. C. meeting, Wilda
Mae Briles was elected vice-presi
dent, replacing Bobby French. Jim
Leake was apointed chairman of
the publicity committee, and Jack
Ogburn was appointed chairman
of the program committee.
Plans were made for the next
meeting to discuss Italy. Follow
ing that, the Guilford I. R. C. will
probably hold a joint meeting with
Greensboro College.
Beat Emory and Henry tomorrow

THE GUILFORDIAN
SCA Starts Early,
Makes Big Plans
The S. C. A. started bright and
early this year with a retreat at
Quaker Lake the weekend before
Freshman Week. There were about
25 people who attended, including
a large delegation of freshmen.
The purpose of this Fall Retreat
was to make out a calendar of ac
tivities for the. entire year. Bill
Utley, chairman of the publicity
committee, had made a very large
calendar with open dates to be
filled in. Sally Haire, president of
the organization, and Ruth Beeson,
program chairman, led the group
in planning out the year's schedule.
The calendar may now be seen in
the hut complete with filled-in
dates.
The prospects for this year are
very optimistic. So far the S. C. A.
has carried out its scheduled activi
ties quite successfully.
A "Howdy Party" was held for
the freshmen in Founders Parlor
during Freshman Week. There was
plenty of singing and getting
acquainted; upperclassmen and
freshmen alike seemed to enjoy
themselves immensely. Bill Utley
led the singing and Josh Crane
introduced all the freshmen to the
group.
The folowing Sunday night, a
"Sing" was held on the shore of
the lake. Miss Ware led the small
group in the old favorites and a
few hymns.
The following week, in the Meet
ing House, the most successful pro-

gram of the year so far was held.
A very inspirational vesper service
for the new members of the Asso
ciation was conducted. Ruth Bee
son, Horace McManus, and Josh
Crane planned the service and
read selections that evening. Betsy
Farlow played the organ and Bob
Achor and Marilyn Linhart added
to the inspirational time with their
solos. After the service, refresh
ments were served in the base
ment.

the Battleground last Sunday? Al-

though the day was warm, every
one seemed to enjoy himself. Sup
per, a "sing," and vespers were
held at the grounds afterwards.
Plans for many more interesting
and varied programs have been
made; and judging from what we've
seen so far, it looks like a big
year for the S. C. A.
Attention, Sociology 20 students!
Mr. Stafford found himself taking
a course similar to Sociology 20
this summer in order to complete
requirements for his doctorate!
