Reynolds Speaks
In Chapel
Both the Freshman Chapel and
the Upperclass Chapel were hon
ored with a talk by Mr. Delbert
Reynolds. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds
were missionaries in Ramallah,
Jordan, at present, a place of great
political difficulty. They were serv
ing the American Friends Board
of Missions in educational work at
the boys' school in that town. Mr.
Reynolds had been the principal
there since 1954. The school has
been in existence since 1889 and
is influential in training many of
the young Arab leaders.
Mrs. Reynolds is a graduate of
Guilford College, class of 1949,
while her husband, having gradu
ated from Wilmington College,
holds a masters degree from the
University of Tennessee. They
found their Arab hosts very friend
ly and hospitable and enjoyed
working with them. Mr. Reynolds
warned that the Arabs would not
continue their polite ways if
nothing was done in compensation
for the lands which had been taken
from them when Israel was taken
over as a Jewish state. Contrary to
public opinion, Mr. Reynolds
would have his audience know that
the Arab world is rapidly modern
izing. The situation in that area
could easily turn into another Ko
rea, with various countries pledged
to back each side. Unless some
thing is done to appease the Arabs
for their losses, some sort of explo
sion is almost inevitable.
The Reynolds are on leave for
one year on deputation work for
the board speaking at yearly meet
ings. He claims that he presented
only one side; not the only side,
but a side that all should know
before any judgment is made.

Thought for the Week
Great people discuss ideas; mid

little people discuss each other.
Haworth Nom
Rhodes Scholarship
Each year accredited colleges
from all over America nominate
candidates for the Rhodes Scholar
ship. This scholarship fund enables
thirty-two young American men to
study at Oxford University in Eng
land for two years. There is the
possibility of extended study if
academic standing remains high.
In the will of Cecil Rhodes,
which was revealed in 1902, the
qualifications for competition set
forth were athletic ability, literary
and scholastic ability, moral char
acter, interest in one's fellow man,
and qualities of manhood, courage,
devotion, et cetera.
This year Howard Haworth was
nominated and approved by the

boys' side of the campus. The decorations were a co-operative effort as was true on Founders

Students Cast Straw Ballots
Eisenhower in by 3-2 Vote
Following speeches by the repre
sentatives of the two major political
parties, the Guilford College stu
dent body favored to re-elect Pres
ident Eisenhower by a 3-2 decision.
Hampton Howerton Jr., a Guilford
alumnus, who is an assistant judge
of Municipal County Court repre
sented the Democrats; Neal Beard,
the national committeeman for the
North Carolina Young Republicans
expressed his views on the defend
ing Republican Party.
Results of balloting on the
Guilford campus are as follows:
Eisenhower, 286; Stevenson, 175;
T. Coleman Andrews, 1.
Committed to high, rigid party
Guilford faculty to compete for the
scholarship. During his three years
at Guilford, he has proved himself
a leader in many ways. In his
sophomore year, he won the North
State Conference two-mile cham
pionship, received the undergrad
uate achievement award, and was
elected to the Honor Board. Activi
ties during his junior year included
editorship of the GUILFORDIAN and
chairmanship of the Honor Board.
At present he is vice-president of
the Monogram Club, president of
the History Club, and vice-presi
dent of the Men's Student Govern
ment. Besides this, he has lettered
in football and in tennis during his
college career.

system as far as agriculture is con
cerned, was one of the ideas given
by the Democratic spokesman.
Further, he stated that this pro
gram holds farm prices up tempor
arily, but gives large surpluses. The
Republicans are against ninety
per cent of parity in long range
terms.
Politician Beard presented the
fact that the Republicans are com
mitted to work for peace through
the United Nations. The Democrats
have offered criticism but no con
structive suggestions for improve
ments. Further, Beard urged the
students to rally behind this "new"
Republican Party—which has pre
vented war over the Suez crisis.
Taking the offense, Hampton
Howerton stressed the point that
the Eisenhower regime has been
synonymous with an "indecisive"
foreign policy. In addition, he em
phasized that in the existing domes
tic policy, the individual income is
not keeping pace with corporate
income. There is too much big bus
iness in the cabinet; this current
prosperity only reaches the big
corporations and not the "little
man."
Both parties suggested that the
total picture should be looked at in
reaching a decision. Now it is up
to voting populace to elect a cap
able President. The majority ol
the North Carolina schools have
"elected" Eisenhower by a 2-1
decision. It appears that if every
student had his chance at the polls,
the Republican Party would dom
inate November 6; at least in North
Carolina.

ford College is sponsoring a tutor
ing system to assist students who

New North Leads
Float Contest
The usual rain and the crowning
of a pretty queen highlighted the
Homecoming Day activities last
I Saturday afternoon. The drizzle
stopped long enough to allow last
year s queen, Lila Tice, to crown
Rachel Richardson as Homecoming
Queen of 1956.
The crowning of the queen cul
minated the half time events on
Hobbs Field. There was a tingle
of excitement in the air when Miss
Richardson and her court waved
goodbye to the applauding specta
tors as they left the field. For one
thing, the Quakers were ahead 6
to 0 after a good first half.
Dave Plyler presided over the
activities announcing each float as
it came on the field and introduc
ing the different people taking part.
Dr. Milner opened the program
with some words of welcome for
the returning alumni. Next came
the parade of floats which turned
out to be interesting concoctions of
cardboard, crepe paper, and in
genuity.
New North led the parade. A
gun-shooting Chester Haworth and
his shady cohorts manned a card
board replica of a ship in hot per
suit of two Indians in a canoe
which rode along in front of them.
Next came Archdale's "Stew New
berry followed by a very ingenious
funeral procession from Shore. The
GUILFOKDIAN'S covered wagon en
try was pulled by two white horses
while the "Guilford Infirmary"
from Old North was drawn by
some men students turned hapless
Indian. Yankee Stadium's "Fort
Hobbs depicted the sad massacre
of the Newberry Indian.
Dean Kent announced the results
of the contest for the best float and
the best dorm decorations. New
North won the award for the best
float. First prize for dorm decora
tions went to Archdale for the men
and to Founders Hall for the
women. Earlier that afternoon
there had been a bustle all over
campus as the dormitories held
open house. Visitors and students
looked over dorm decorations and
visited the rooms inside. There
were giggles and looks of approval
and disapproval.
Archdale's decorations were built
around the "Secret Rehind the
Green Door" at the expense of the
