Prisoners Show Tonight Volume XLII S.A.B. Endorses Activity Fee Hike Prisoners Entertain Qaakers Tonight Sponsored By The Monogram Club First it was the K. K. K., next came the annual Christmas dance, now the Monogram Club is proud to announce and to sponsor for the student body the North Carolina State Prison Variety Show. This show is connected with the Education and Rehabilitation Program at Central Prison. The program is com posed of three sections: hillbilly, swing band, and Negro minstrel. The show is two hours long with some of the best music, comedy, dance, and novelty acts to ever come from behind the prison walls. This is considered as North Car olina's number one variety show. This is not new entertainment for our campus but a return engagement. This same show was on our campus two years ago. The best advertisement the Mon ogram Club can have is for you to ask the students who saw the show before. Many say that it was, without a doubt, the best performance that has ever been presented in Memorial Hall. The prisoners, many of whom are serving life sentences, seem to forget it for that night and have only one pur pose in mind. That purpose it to pre sent a show that everyone from eight to eighty will enjoy. The prisoners travel all over North Carolina putting on this same program. The show will begin tonight at eight o'clock. Admission is fifty cents for stu dents and one dollar for adults. The members of the Monogram Club say that each person who attends will, after seeing the show, long remember the night the state prisoners entertained the Quakers. 720 Students Mark Peak Enrollment This year with 720 students marks Guilford's peak enrollment.

The usually accepted idea of a semi-formal is boys wearing suits and girls wearing formals, but Guilford goes by its own set of social rules. At all semi-formal dances here it's quite acceptable for girls to choose between cocktail dresses or formals and for boys to wear suits. The Val entine Dance Saturday night will be semi-formal, so one may dress ac cordingly. \ , f* ' V Beards are beginning to bloom!

Haitian Is Guest Of History Club The History Club's last meeting fea tured an address by Dr. George Breath ett, native of Haiti and present Head of the History Department at Bennett Col lege. Dr. Breathett was introduced by Dr. E. F. Burrows who briefly outlined his educational career. In his talk Dr. Breathett traced the turbulent history of Haiti from the days of Spanish domination to its present status as a free republic. He stressed the economic, political", and religious streams in the country's history and en livened his facts with several personal views and interpretations. He often re ferred to Haiti as the "Riviera of the Caribbean." At the conclusion of his address, Dr. Breathett conducted a period of ques tioning during which he answered many questions on Haiti. The questions posed by the club members were quite varied and covered many different phases of life in Haiti. They were answered fully and very interestingly by Dr. Breathett. Brotherhood Week Tradition of Christians and Jews Nationwide observance of Brother hood Week, sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews, will be held February 16-23. President Dwight D. Eisenhower is honorary chairman of the observance. Louis P. Seltzer, editor, Cleveland Press, is na tional chairman. We need only to look back over the events of the last year, both at home and abroad, to be reminded forcefully of the continuing need to renew our de votion to the American ideal of broth erhood. It is to America that the free peoples of the world look for leadership and moral strength. Part of our tradition has been to stand up and be counted when ever and wherever freedom it challeng ed. And wherever the forces of dark ness and oppression threaten the liber ties of men, it is to America that the world turns for counsel and assistance. This tradition has become our respon sibility and when we fail at home in any area, it is time to renew our faith in the great virtues of charity and tol erance. We must work hard for that unity and cooperation among all our people that has been a guiding principle of the American democracy. 'Pu6lu6ecC t&e Student* tic StuaOnly 2.*uUUn (ZOUCQC GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 14, 1958 Inter-Collegiate Council Held Friday, February 7, Guilford College was represented at the monthly meeting of the Inter-Collegiate Council held at WC. The purpose of this organization which was founded in 1937 is to offer oppor tunities for discussions by and for col lege students in the Greensboro area. Topics discussed in the past have per tained to state and federal problems. The colleges represented in the Coun cil were: A&T, WC, GC, Bennett, and Guilford. The session began at 7:30 p.m. with a brief business meeting presided by Clarence Ben6t, a senior at A&T, as temporary chairman. It was decided that the election of officers will take place when the members of the group become better acquainted. At the termination of the business meeting, a dramatic association at WC presented a play entitled "No Exit." The next meeting will be held at A&T College. By BILL BLOOM In the words of Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, president of the National Conference, "Brotherhood Week is essentially a cam paign against the prejudices and big otries that disfigure and distort religious, business, social and political relations." America is the home of the greatest experiment in liberty ever developed by man. Here we have demonstrated be fore the world the ability of men and women of good will to live and work together in peace and harmony, regard less of differences in race, creed, or cul tural background. Despite the success of these efforts, there are times when we have failed to measure up. Because of this, it is impor tant that we take inventory from time to time of our position in the struggle for human freedom. Only by doing so can we properly assert the moral force that our neighbors expect of us. It is in the rededication to this cause that we observe Brotherhood Week. Students Attend Seminar Five Guilford College students attend ed a seminar in Washington, D. C., Feb ruary 5-9. The main topic for discussion at the seminar was "Civil Liberties and Minority Rights." The four-day session featured lectures by various well-known persons in the fields of social science and human relations and conferences and discussions with members of the Sen ate and House. A visit to Howard Uni versity in Washington, D. C., was also included in the program. Dr. Rayford Logan, faculty member of Howard Uni versity, delivered a lecture to the group. Guilford students who attended the Washington Seminar were: Heea Haider, Marilyn Maticic, Claudette Belton, Janet Andrews and Eileen Murray. Student Body On Proposed February 25 At its monthly meeting Tuesday night the Student Affairs Board in dorsed a proposed budget for 1958-59 which calls for an increase in the Student Activities Fee. The increase, in the amount of $3, will raise the student activity fee from its present $22 to a total of $25. This increase is based on the rising cost of providing facilities and equipment for the various organizations on the campus of Guilford College. Valentine Dance Is Tomorrow Night SWEETHEART COUPLE TO BE ANNOUNCED Tomorrow night in the gymnasium, the Social Committee is sponsoring its annual Valentine Dance, the Sweetheart Ball. The Appalachian College Orches tra, a sixteen-piece band, will render music from 8:30 until 11:15. Highlight of the evening will be the announcement of the "Sweetheart Cou ple," a new attraction added this year. A group of couples was nominated for this title by the Social Committee, and from these five semi-finalist couples were chosen by student election in chapels this week. At the dance a panel of fac ulty members, headed by Mr. Dave Mor rah, master-of-ceremonies for the occa sion, will make the final decision and announce the "Sweetheart Couple." This year also the Social Committee has decided to make this dance a flower dance. As usual,' it is semi-formal and there is no admission. The gymnasium will be decorated in die traditional Valentine theme and will feature an original backdrop by Carmen Castillo. There will be a short reception line, headed by Social Committee Cnair man Joyce Hannaum. Refreshments will b;e served during intermission.

The present Student Activities Fee is $22.00 per student. 2. Allocations are based on the requests of the organizations and were allocated as closely as possible to those requests. Those organizations which had large un spent balances were allocated funds accordingly. 3. The total sum was calculated on the enrollment of 550 students. Valentine Dance Tomorrow * Before the raise becomes official, how ever, three-fourths of the student body must approve the upped rates, along with the approval of the board of trus tees. Opportunity to vote on the pro posed increase will be given members of the student body at both upperclass and freshman class chapels Feb. 25 and 26. At this time the student body will be given an opportunity to raise questions concerning the increase in the activities fee and the proposed budget. The re sults of the vote will be published in the next sisue of the Guilfordian. Benefiting directly from the increased fee will be the following organizations: The Choir, the Social Committee, the Student Christian Association, Men's and Women's Student Government, In ternational Relations Club, Convocations Committee and the Guilfordian. First Time For the first time the Senior Class has been allotted an amount from the Student Activities Fee. It has been proportioned $lO to "use as it sees fit." At a previous meeting of the budget committee it was decided that "the Men's Student Government and Wom en's Student government should receive a $35 increase over last year due to their increase in activities." Allocations were based on the re quests of the organizations and were dis tributed as closely as possible in accord ance with their requests. Those organizations which had large, unspent balances were allocated funds accordingly. Previous Request Several years ago a similar increase in the Student Activities Fee was presented to the student body for approval, but was turned down by a majority vote. "We hope that the current student body will consent to the increased fee because it will benefit not only the in dividual organizations, but the student body as a whole," said Douglas Kerr, chairman of the Budget Committee. The present Student Affairs Board, in its initial decision to request the increase, acted on a recommendation from last year s board members. Their recommen dation was to raise the fee to S3O, but this year's board members felt that $25 would be sufficient to meet the needs of campus organizations. Number 8
