t HA WORTH Editor, Guilfordian The Quilfortocm GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1955 VOL. XLI Speeches Kick-Off Spring Elections; Voting Tuesday Barter Theatre To Present "Macbeth" The Barter Theater, the state theater of Virginia, will be here on the Guilford College campus tonight at 8:00 p.m. in Memorial Hall. The theatrical group, which was the first state theater in the United States, was first organized during the Depression by Robert Porter field in Abdingdon, Virginia. Since then, it has made appearance in 43 states and abroad. Appearing at Guilford for the eighth time, the Barter Theater will do Macbeth. This 1955 Mac beth moves with vivid precision through its saga of violence, treachery, and revenge. It is a production fully endowed with rich acting against striking and colorful backgrounds. The story of the murderous Macbeth, his sinister wife, and their fearful misdeeds is retold with flashing eloquence by Severn Darden and Jenny Davis and a cast of capa ble supporting players. Mr. Darden's potent version of the title role is that of a vigorous young general with evil and mer ciless ambition. Jenny Davis, a striking, intense blond from Memphis, is equally fine in depicting the insidous Lady Macbeth. Under the supervision of the talented director, Owen Phillips, it is soon forgotten by the audi ence that Macbeth ever was a class assignment. The price of admission at the cloor is $1.20 and $.90, but there is a presale of $.50 ticket at the business office. (Wm. DETTOR President, WSG The campaign speeches in Chapel this morning mark the beginning of the fight for campus offices for the 1955-56 school year.

Ljung will attend a meeting of the American Chemi cal Society in Cincinnati, Ohio, from March 28 through April 3.

This examination is given annually on a nation-wide basis. Chalkley Wins Assistantship Ray Chalkley, President of the s>enior Class, has just received word that he has been granted a graduate assistantship to the Uni versity of Maryland at College Park, Maryland. It was awarded for the 1955-56 school year, and is in the College of Physical Education, Recreation and Health. The assistantship is in the form of a stipend and exemp tion from all standing graduate fees.

'\l j WHITE President, WSG All organizations which are members of the Student Affairs Board participate in the general Spring Elections, but only the candidates for the presidency of the Men's Student Government, the Women's Student Govern ment, and the candidates for the editorship of the publications, will give speeches in Chapel today. Candidates stating their plat forms this morning will be: Char lie Strider and Gary Bowen for MSG; Margaret Ann White and Nancy Dettor for WSG; Howard Haworth for Editor of the Guil fordian; and Jim Shelton and Larry Bumgardner for Editor of the Quaker. The polls, located in the Biology Lab, will be open from 8:00 a. m. until 4:00 p. m. All students are eligible, and are urged, to vote sometime during the day. All organization heads, with the exception of the class officers, will take office immediately fol lowing Spring Vacation. This gives the new officers an oppor tunity to consult with their pred ecessors while learning the re sponsibilities of their new posi tion. It also relieves the Seniors of extra-curricular responsibility during the last quarter of their Senior year, allowing them to catch up on theses, and other aca demic requirements. I s BOWEN President MSG Thirty-Four Students Make Honor Roll The Honor Roll for the second semester 1954-55, just released by the Registrar's Office, shows a total of thirty-four students with at least a 2.50 average.
