Core Curriculum B
Guilford Libraries,
A new system of checking out
books for reference work or for
extra-curricular enjoyment has been
provided for the Guilford College
students this semester.
At a faculty committee meeting
it was decided that certain books
basic to the core curriculum should
be provided for the student to use
at his convenience. These books
have been purchased and placed
in English and Shore Halls. (Of
course, it should be understood that
the men should confine their book
getting activity to English Hall,
the girls, to Shore.)
The MSG and the WSG set up
a check-out system. The student
writes his (her) name and the with
drawal date of the book on a 3"
by 5" index card and leaves it in
a card box. When he (she) returns
the book, he writes down the date
of return and crosses his name off.
The catalogue card in the library
lists these four places in which
copies of the books can be found:
in the College Library, in the
Greensboro Branch Library, in
Shore Hall, and in English Hall.
These books constitute a valu
able resource for the student. He
can refer to the books at a con
venient location and at any time
of the day or night.
The student should be aware of
the fact that the college went to
a good deal of trouble (and money
—about $1,000) to obtain copies of
these interesting and educational
books. He should endeavor to do
his best to, in President Milner's
words, keep these books "as serv
iceable as possible" and "keep them
in the dormitories at all times." The
card file system must be strictly
observed and the literature must
be kept in top condition if we are
to derive maximum benefit from
this added service provided by the
college.
Many of these books are on the
suggested college reading list.
Campus members of the Ameri
can Chemical Society are Dr. Har
vey Ljung and Dr. Charles Ott,
senior members. J. W. Bolejack
and Norman Schlosser, Guilford
seniors, are student affiliates of
the Society.
The Friday night lecture will be
open to the public; there is to be
no admission charge.

Contest For "
Have you ever been moved to
poetical expression? Do you ever
have the desire to be creative? And
on another side, do you ever get
the urge to sing out with a song of
praise for the old Alma Mater. If
you fill these prerequisites, there
is a job for you.
As a service to the school spirit
of the college, the GUILFORDIAN is
sponsoring a contest for the best

below their goal.

leges have one. There's the "Hur
rah, Carolina-lina, Hurrah, Car
olina-lina . . ." of UNC, and the
"On Wisconsin, On Wisconsin

of Wisconsin University. What will
the fighting song for Guilford be?
This contest is open to any mem
ber of the student body. All songs
should be turned into the GUIL
FORDIAN editor or managing editor
by 12 noon, November 30. They are
to be typed, double spaced. Any
length is acceptable. They will be
judged by a combination faculty
student committee selected by the
GUILFORDIAN staff.
First and second prizes will be
offered. A five dollar cash prize will
be awarded to the winner and a
two dollar cash prize to the second
place winner.
So take out your pen and paper,
think a little, write a little, and
turn in a fighting song to be used
as a spirit rouser for all the Guil
ford games to come.
