Speakers, Seminars, Bull Sessions
and Movies Planned for Week
Highlighting the month of Feb
ruary will be the annual Religious
Emphasis Week, to be observed
this year February 14-20. A stimu
lating series of events has been
planned by the steering committee
for this occasion, which is headed
by Miss Carol Smith.
Herschel Folger, prominent pas
tor of Asheboro Street Friends
Meeting and a valued friend of
this campus, will officially open the
week at the Monday morning
chapel period. He will again speak
at the same time on Wednesday
morning. To complete the first
day's events, bull sessions will be
held Monday night in all dormi
tories.
Tuesday afternoon will feature
Dr. Gordon W. Lovejoy with a
seminar considering what is wrong
with our social life at Guilford. Re
freshments will be served after the
seminar.
As has been previously stated,
Mr. Folger will again have the
Wednesday morning chapel period.
Possibly bull sessions may also be
held Wednesday evening.
In view of the fact that the
bloodmobile will be on campus
Thursday, the main event of that
day will be a morning worship
service in the dormitories—appro
priately on the topics of giving as
a part of living.
Climaxing the morning chapel
periods will be the Friday morning
student worship service in the
meeting house. The service will be
conducted by the students only.
That night at 8:00 p.m. in Memo
rial Hall, the Presbyterian Choir
from the Church of the Covenant
in Greensboro will present a pro
gram of sacred music. This will be
followed by a reception in Found
ers to which all Guilford students
are invited.
Saturday evening at 7:30 the
motion picture, "One Foot in
Heaven," will be shown in the Au
ditorium. This will conclude the
events, but it is hoped not the
effects, of Religious Emphasis
Week.
In addition to the aforemen
tioned plans, vespers will be con
ducted each evening throughout
the week. There will also be a dis
play in the library.
The committee has expressed
the desire to withhold the theme
until the very beginning of the oc
casion, when it will be announced.

Dr. Lovejoy
Becomes Kentucky
Colonel
Dr. Gordon W. Lovejoy, visiting
Professor of Sociology, received
last August from the Governor of
Kentucky, a commission as a Ken
tucky Colonel. It was the first time
in twenty-four years that such an
honor had been bestowed on an
educator, and the third time in the
history of the State that a member
of the staff of the University of
Kentucky had been included. Dr.
Lovejoy has, for the past three
years, directed a Seminar in Inter
group Relations at Kentucky, and
holds the rank of Professor at that
university.
The Kentucky Colonelcy is an
appointment to the personal staff
of the Governor of Kentucky, and
as such carries certain privileges.
Among these are: the title of Col
onel; attendance at a ball for the
Kentucky Colonels and their ladies
the night before the Kentucky Der
by; a special box at the Derby; the
right to represent the State at offi
cial functions, if the Governor so
desires; the right to ride in the In
augural procession at the inaugu
ration of a Kentucky Governor;
and, the right to the "uniform" of
the Kentucky Colonels—the black
string tie.
Dr. Lovejoy's commission, the
twelfth granted by Governor Law
rence Weatherby, was presented
by Mr. John Hennessy, Clerk of
Court of Jefferson County and out
standing politician of the State.
Jefferson County, in which Lexing
ton is located, is one of the largest
counties in the State.
With the conferring of the com
mission, Governor Weatherby ex
pressed gratitude and approval of
Dr. Lovejoy's work in the field of
human relations in Kentucky, both
with adults and students.
"Which would yez rather be
in, Casey, an explosion or a colli
sion?"
"In a collision," replied Casey.
"Why?"
"Well because in a collision ther
yez are; but in an explosion, where
are yez?"
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 5, 1954
Bloodmobile to be
Here February 18
The National Red Cross Blood
mobile will visit the Guilford Col
lege Campus on February 18, in an
effort to collect 175 pints of human
whole blood. The visit will cater
especially to the students and fac
ulty of the college as well as resi
dents of the surrounding commu
nity, but will also be open to
Greensboro residents as well.
There is a desperate need for
blood in the Greensboro-Guilford
County area. The Greensboro
chapter is running 800 pints behind
its designated quota, and at last
check nearly all the Greensboro
hospitals reported that their re
serve supplies of blood were either
extremely low or totally non-exist
ent. Many lives depend upon the
fact that there be enough blood
available when it is needed —there
is not enough now. The life or lives
of one or more Guilford students
could hang one way or the other in
the balance of death, depending
solely on human blood . . . human
blood that is not now available.
Every day the Red Cross has to go
through its files and call countless
emergency donors because there
is not enough blood on reserve to
fill the need. Victims of industrial
accidents, highway accidents,
mothers in childbirth and their ba
bies, patients undergoing surgery,
and many others all need blood to
save their lives and restore them
to health. There is no substitute
for human blood, . . . cow blood
or horse blood would be of no
avail, although admittedly much
easier to collect. Human blood
must come from human beings, all
human beings . . . not your room
mate, nor your next door neighbor,
but from YOU. The Korean war is
over . . . but people are still dying
on highways and in homes, from
polio and diseases all over the na
tion . . . many of these lives can
be saved through the use of human
whole blood . . . YOUR BLOOD.
RE M EMBER THIS, THE
BLOOD YOU GIVE MAY SAVE
YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF
A FRIEND, RELATIVE, OR
LOVED ONE. THE QUESTION
IS NOT "DO I WANT TO GIVE
BLOOD?" ... IT IS, "CAN I AF
FORD NOT TO GIVE BLOOD?"
All men and women between
the ages of 18 and 59 are eligible
to give blood. However, students
between the age of 18 and 21 must
either be married or have parental
consent before they can give
blood. All prospective donors are
given a physical check-up before
donating to determine whether or
not they will be able to give blood
without any harm to the individ
ual. The process is a painless one
and the actual giving of the blood
doesn't take more than ten to fif
teen minutes. Those who have not
given before will receive a card
telling their blood type and RH
factor, a valuable thing to have in
case of accident or illness.
Donors are asked to eat nor
mally up to four hours before do
nation time. During the four hour
period do not starve yourself.
But do not eat any fatty foods such
as cream, butter, meats, fried
foods, and eggs. Do eat such things
as fruit, juices, bread, crackers,
vegetables without fat, jelly, skim
ned milk, black coffee, tea, and
bottled soft drinks.
Pledge cards were distributed
in Chapel on January 29, those

Students Asked
for Food Likes
Sometimes it is difficult for a
mother to satisfy the different
tastes of her family members. Con
sequently, it must be much more
difficult to meet the tastes of 225
students, who come from different
homes and from different states.
This school year two students,
Janice Corneilson and Les War
rick, have been asked to be the in
terpreters of the students' likes and
dislikes concerning food. Their
task is to get the students' com
ments and suggestions about the
food at Founders Hall, and convey
this information to the dietitian.
However, very few students have
used their channels and expressed
their preferences.
In order to get a better survey
of the students' favorite dishes and
the food they do not like, a ques
tionnaire has been worked out by
the Boarding Department and will
be filled out in every dormitory by
the section representatives. These
representatives have been asked
to co-operate with Janice and Les.
The results of this survey will be
worked out and taken into con
sideration in the future meal plan
ning in the limits of possibilities
and facilities.
a card are asked to contact their
dorm representative or Miss Reyn
olds. All who are between the ages
of 18 and 21 must have parental
permission. These PERMISSIONS
FROM HOME SHOULD BE
TURNED IN TO THE SECTION
REPRESENTATIVE OR DROP

HALL BY FEBRUARY 13.
We went over our quota of 150
pints last year . . . let's beat 175
this year!!!

Odd Assignments
Complicated Lines,
Characterize Prof
The gray-haired professor with
a dignified British appearance cir
cled around his desk for the third
time as he gesticulated and per
formed various dramatizations to
illustrate his lecture. Then, in his
usual manner he deviated far from
the central theme of his subject
| and became involved in the discus
| sion of a current topic, perhaps
about who won the last ball game
or why the Republican party is
better than that of the Democrats.
On the blackboard behind this
classroom actor was drawn a series
of complicated lines with segments
| designated by names of foreign
! languages and arrows directed to
j all corners of the board. This maze
J was a favorite theme of the
| teacher, and occasionally he re
turned from the world of sports
and politics to delve deep into the
realm of word derivations.
With a wicked little grin and a
malicious gleam in his eye this pro
fessor began his assignments,
which were the most unusual of
; any ever heard before. These tasks
varied from measuring the width
i of a dictionary to finding the per
centage of predicate nominatives
in a story from composing a
poem to writing a term paper —
and from preparing a speech to
memorizing an essay.
Each day in this classroom was
different, and although one had to
glance occasionally at his sched
ule to recall the subject being
taught, much material was learned.
Outside of class this Guilford
College teacher retains his friendly
personality. At almost any time
that he is on campus a group of
students can be seen near by—
joking, laughing, and in general,
enjoying the interesting company
of an interesting man.
Brilliant, yet forgetful; fun-lov
ing, yet having high purposes;
busy, yet giving his time freely;
this teacher has created in himself
a personality which influences, in
terests, and guides his students and
acquaintances. He will be always
what he is now—unforgettable!
Words are like leaves; and where
the most abound, much fruit of
sense beneath is seldom found.
