Campus Chest
As was hoped and expected the
Campus Chest of 1956 has more
than reached its goal of SI2OO. The
donation of this sum was divided
equally between the faculty and
the students. The faculty members
exceeded their goal, as did the
campus girls in all dormitories, and
the boys in New North, Center,
Old South, and Yankee Stadium.
The total goal of the campus girls
was $l7O. They made a fine show
ing and exceeded this figure by
sl3. The campus men, with a goal
of $223, collected $223.06.
The share of the day students is
$2lO. A good proportion of this has
already been collected. Though it

Jaffee. With rehearsals five nights
a week, they hope to have a worth
while play to put before the stu
dents and faculty in the Guilford
College audience.
The story is set in the middle of
Bulgaria, during a war between
the Bulgarians and the Serbs. The
male characters dominate the im
portant roles. Both young men in
the play are attracted to the beauti
ful young daughter, but surprising
changes occur in the attitudes of
each. After a few changes of part
ners, all are quite happy. It can
only be described as a Shaw
comedy and will afford an eve
ning's amusing entertainment.
had been hoped that all donations
would be in by Tuesday, Nov. 6,
the drive does continue through
Nov. 11.
We have done well, but we have
met our goal only because some
have given more than their share.
If you haven't given, please do.
Remember those who are less for
tunate than ourselves and those
who have given what they could
trusting that we, too, would give.
Let's not let them down. The need
is not filled simply because we have
met our goal on the Guilford
campus. Give for your section, give
for Guilford, and give from your
heart to the United Fund.

Day Dance
Saturday Night
Everybody is invited to the
Founders' Day Dance Saturday
night. The gala affair will be held
in the lounge of the Student Union
Building and will get under way at
eight o'clock. Dress is informal.
Decorations promise to transfer
the lounge into a cartoon-land
fantasy full of color and soft music.
Dancing there, one will get to meet
some of his favorite comic-strip
characters. There will be the funny
ones and the loveable ones like Pogo
and Dennis the Menace. You might
even run into one or two rogues.
You'll get a chance to visit some
of your favorite places in the de
lightful world of the funnies. There
will be plenty of good records, and
refreshments will be served.
The dance comes as a result of
the feeling that there should be
more social get-togethers during
the school year. There's no better
time to get started than on Found
ers' Day. THE GUILFORDIAN is spon
soring this dance in the hope that
there will be more like it in the
days to come. Also, it hopes that
the Founders' Day Dance can be
come a traditional annual affair..

Today also, the North Carolina
Ministers' Association is holding
its November meeting on the cam
pus at the invitation of the college.
A tea will be held in the Student
Union at 4 this afternoon with the
speakers as honored guests. The
tea will give all students, faculty
members, and visitors an oppor
tunity to meet and talk with the
speakers.
The Ward Lecture is the seventh
in a series endowed by the J. M.
Ward Permanent Trust Fund, set
up in 1946 by Jeremiah Mont
gomery and Eudema Boles Ward.

mote more spiritual leadership
