Pictured above is the incompleted structure of the Student Union
building:. The inclement weather conditions have slov/ed up the work
on the building considerably, but now that pleasant weather is ap
proaching, the job should move at a rapid pcae. For those of y on who
have been wondering how soon the building would be completed, the
approximate date is May the fifteenth.
Men's Lounge To Be Completed
Within The Next Week
Charlie Strider
Within the next week, the base
ment of Center Section will have
been converted into a lounge for
the men. It will consist of a ma
roon and grey room with a tile
floor and celotex ceiling. There
will be included in the room, a
television set, a soft drink ma
chine, and nab machine. This is
being done as a cooperative proj
ect by the Men's Student Govern
ment and the Student Christian
Association. Anyone else who is
interested is welcome to come
down and help also.
For the past several years there
has been nothing for the boys to
do unless they could get into town
or were members of the Mono
gram Club. With this addition
there will at least be a television
set for any of the boys who are
lucky enough to be free from

work for a while. This type of en
tertainment will not only be en
joyable but relaxing as well. This
type of break is very good for any
one who has been putting a lot of
work on his books or any other
form of labor which tends to dull
the senses.
In doing this work the boys
have put a lot of time and energy
into getting it done right. When it
is finally finished, it will be some
thing to take pride in and also to
take care of. If everyone will do
his part and take an active inter
est in keeping it looking good, it
will give good entertainment for a
lot of people, over a long period of
time.
If we can show the administra
tion that we are willing and able
to take care of the things which
they fix up for us, then they will
give us more and more things with
which to improve our facilities.
Men's Dormitory, Auditorium-
Chapel Head Future Plans
In talking with Dr. Milner about
the promotion and development
plans for Guilford College, he also
pointed out the part we must play
in furthering higher education,
and the distinct advantages Guil
ford College will derive from the
Greater Greensboro development
program.
"Colleges are and should be dif
ferent, and they should always
strive for standards of excellence.
Colleges should understand and
clearly state their purpose and
program. Many types of institu
tions of higher education are
needed and should be provided.
Each institution should offer dis
tinctive opportunities and assume
definite responsibilities for select
ing, enrolling and training those
students for whom its program is
best suited.
"The distinctive liberal arts col
lege is not a vocational school, a
technical or mechanical school,
nor is it a community Junior Col
lege. However, all who are en
gaged in higher education are in
the true professional sense Part
ners in Education.
"The trustees and administra
tion have restudied the place of
Guilford College in relation to the
present educational situation and
have decided to maintain the unit
at Guilford College as a small col
lege with emphasis on the liberal
arts. It is planned to have a sus
tained enrollment of 550 students
pursuing a degree course at Guil
ford.
"With adequate equipment in
Greensboro, Guilford College can
take its share of the responsibility
in meeting new educational de
mands. This will strengthen the
liberal arts unit at Guilford.
Through wise and careful selec
tion ox students, only those vitally
interested in a degree course will
be enrolled in the Guilford Col
lege unit; other students will be
as carefully counseled to select
vocations, special or terminal
courses, especially suited to their
interests and needs and will be en
rolled in the Greensboro Division."
In connection with the promo
tion and development of Guilford
College itself, the erection of the
following buildings is being plan
ned:
A—Erecting nn Auditoriumi-
Chapel-Religious Educa
tion Building
This will provide a room to
seat 1,000-1,200 to serve the
double purpose of chapel and
auditorium. It would also be
equipped for drama, music
and religious programs and
would have facilities for voice
recording and instruction, live
broadcasting, and projection
of 35mm. as well as 16mm.
films. The plans include pro
vision for the work of religi
ous education, with a large
classroom, a small seminar
type classroom, office, and a
small Friends Meeting Room.
It will also provide the neces
sary classrooms and studies
for the Department of Music.
