Page Four Bulletin Students Contemplate Mass Suicide GUILFORD COLLEGE, March 29 Rumors were circulating in and around Guilford College of an impending mass suicide by the Student Body. Careful investigation by THE GUILFORDIAN disclosed that stu dents were being barraged by as many as three exams per day, over a period of several days, which preceded the Spring Vacation. The cause was evidently a group of faculty members. Further study showed that quar ter grades were due on the Satur day of this week. This, coupled with a philosophy of "students can't start vacation early when they need LIBRARY NOTES Two teachers and an Alumnus of Guilford are spotlighted in the news as writers. They are Jackson Burgess, Dr. Gordon W. Love joy, and Samray Smith. The recent naming of Burgess' new novel, Pillar of Cloud, as the Literary Guild selection for July was indeed good news. The novel will have immediately a large group of readers, since Literary Guild is one of the two biggest and best book clubs in the nation today.—"Library Journal," Feb. 1, 1957, page 430, carried an inter esting biographical sketch on Bur gess in its regular feature, "New Creative Writers; 30 Novelists Whose First Work Appears This Season." Dr. Lovejoy, Visiting Professor of Sociology, broke into print with an article in "The New York Times Magazine," Feb. 17, 1957. It was entitled, "In Brotherhood Week: A Look at the South." The subtitle: "Through the segregation issue has aroused bitter resistance, it has also, a Southerner reports, encour aged factors working to create a new respect for human dignity." —Dr. Lovejoy is program consult ant for the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Samray Smith, who graduated from Guilford with honors in 1934, will take over the editorship of the "ALA Bulletin" in April. This is the most influential periodical in li brary circles today since it is the official organ of the American Library Association. Smith has served in editorial capacities at the Chicago Headquarters of ALA since 1952.—Fr0m 1936 to 1938, after obtaining a master's degree from Haverford, Smith was Instruc tor in English and Assistant to the Librarian at Guilford College. Library to Open Saturday Afternoons in April and May In order to accommodate the many students who will be trying to complete research on papers during April and May, the Library will remain open on Saturday dur ing those months from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Library generally closes at 1 p.m. on Saturday, so during GUILFORD COLLEGE Red and White Super Market "To serve you better with fine foods" to study for exams" seemed to pre cipitate the torture to which the Guilford College students were subjected. Outsiders asked, "Is it possible that students are so tortured?" The students themselves felt no gnaw ing doubts. In fact, in a wonderful display of courage and fortitude the students persevered, finally deciding to carry on. The Philosophy 24 class even found time to commend their teacher, Mrs. Ernestine Milner, for the consideration which she showed in postponing a similar impending crisis. Other faculty members were requested to please note. Pearson, Horton, to Speak (Continued from page one) serving with the American Friends Service Committee. Dr. Pearson has served in many responsible positions, and has been the recipient of many honors. Among these are the Sigma Delta Chi National Award for the best Washington journalist of 1942, dec oration by the French Legion of Honor, and the Knights of Colum bus International Gold Medal in 1948. Dr. Pearson has worked and written for many newspapers. He is also a contributor to our nation's magazines. He is perhaps currently best known for his news broadcast and commentary, and for his col umn, "Daily Washington Merry go-round." Both the Baccalaureate Sermon and the Commencement Address will be held on the campus if the weather is favorable.. the months when papers are due and exams are coming up, students will have an opportunity to use the Library for a period of three extra hours on Saturdays. Two Cent Fine on Overdue Books The Library has increased the fine on overdue two-week loans from one cent a day to two cents a day, if paid when the book is returned. This is in line with fines which are charged by other libra ries in this area. This new fine is doubled, as in the past, if the borrower of an overdue book de lays payment instead of paying when the book is returned. The new fine became effective on books borrowed after March 1. The problem of how to stimulate the return of overdue books so that they will be available for further loan to another person is a constant one in a library. Yet, it must be attended to, since a library's loan system is not effective unless bor rowed books are promptly returned. 1 1 % "Glasses For Those Who Want The Best" 206 N. Elm Street Greensboro, N.

Moreover, restless men peer in closed-off rooms and start down darkened hallways. (Night is not hard for her to keep the house in order but in daylight doors are never open wide.
