A Look at Little Rock
Students See For
Themselves
(ACP) —Six Drury college stu
dents went to Little Rock, Ark.,
recently to observe for themselves
the "segregation disturbance," rep
orts of the Drury Mirror at the
Springfield, Mo., school.
They entered Little Rock's Cen
tral High with the prepsters, un
noticed. But inside, one was taken
to the principal's office where he
said he was on a "psychological
survey."
He was told to return in a couple
of days when "tension wasn't so
high." The others spent their time
getting student quotes like, "If the
colored students would start in the
first grade and gradually mix in
the schools, this trouble wouldn't
happen."

sponsoring another informal dance.

IN MEMORIAM
Late Saturday afternoon, November 9th, happy Guilford students
thronged the walks and roads, chattering excitedly about their first
football victory of the season. Less than twenty-four hours later, one
of these same students, one our classmates, who had laughed and
rejoiced over the same game, was missing from our midst.
"James Carl Bell, Jr.," as a Greensboro newspaper related, "died
Sunday of injuries suffered in an automobile accident late Saturday
night. He was a passenger in an automobile which left the curve and
rolled down a twenty-foot embankment."
Jim lived on in a hospital room until a little before two o'clock
Sunday afternoon. He died quietly, just as he had lived. He was a good
student, so he was respected; he was understanding and gentle, so we
liked him. He was always cheerful and friendly, so we were friends.
And still the Guilfordians walk the cobbled stones to their classes,
and cheer excitedly at football games, all as before. But now in our
classrooms, one seat is always empty, and one cheerful laugh is heard
no more; something is missing, even though there is no apparent
change in the crowded halls. And no doubt some of our teachers will
find it hard to forget the picture of a small toddler, a little over eighteen
years ago, brought to class by his uncle; hard to forget how Jim always
laughed and claimed to really be "a part" of Guilford, having "grown
up" with the school.
Jim still laughs as he watches our football games, and still smiles
gently at our chapel programs, but he now sits in another classroom,
with a new Professor. And one of Guilford's best students walks safely
on the paths of the Home Campus.

They are: Charles Atkinson, James Askins, Mack Baker, Woody Finley, Carolyn Newlin

Selection to Who's Who is one of the most revered and desired honors that a student
may attain during his college career. The number of candidates from each sphool is
based on enrollment; Guilford's enrollment of 677 permits a quota of eleven nominees.
A vote of all students and faculty members determines the candidates; the final decision
is left to the Committee on Con
vocations, composed of both stu
dents and faculty. The qualifica
tions considered as a basis for
selection are: character, service to
the school, leadership and practical
qualities, contribution to extra-cur
