Published by the Students of the South's Only Quaker College
Kansas, and from Asbury Seminary
in Kentucky. Before coming to
New Garden Friends Meeting Mr.
Pitts served meetings in Zinnia,
Ohio, and Plainfield, Indiana.
He has worked with youth
groups both in and out of summer
camps. Mr. Pitts and his wife
Marilyn, have a one-year-old son,
Mark.
ON WITH STUDY
In Austria there are two sum
mer schools of interest to Ameri
cans. The University of Vienna will
give courses at its St. Wolfgang
Campus near Salzburg. Students
can study interntaional relations,
European economic and social
problems, European history, music,
art, psychology and German lan
guage. All courses, except German
language, are taught in English.
Students who have completed at
least two years of college work are
eligible to apply for either a three
or six week program.
Now that the plague of exami
nations has hit the student body,
more and more studious scholars
are spending more and more time
in the library—a place which most
of them haven't frequented for the
past semester. The final draft of a
term paper, a hurried semester pro
ject, a last book report—these are
reasons for the huge flock which
has begun a library vigil.
But the most important reason
for the filled study rooms and the
crowded stacks is the activity
planned for the coming week and a
half —exams! Students who haven't
opened a book all year have finally
nerved themselves to crack one and
have begun that age-old custom of
exam cramming. Even at Guilford
the habit's not unheard of. For the
next few days the midnight oil will
burn; coffee pots will be kept
warm; pencils will stay sharpened;
and presumably minds will stay
bright and alert. Only time and
the final test scores will tell.

Charles Little Is
Injured In Holiday
Auto Accident
People travel at Christmas time
—travel perhaps more than at any
other holiday season during the
year. Now, back in the horse and
buggy days, traveling wasn't finite
so dangerous, but with modern
day horsepowered engines and our
new triple-lane highways, traffic
fatalites and injuries have become
one of our nation's greatest prob
lems. And we are sad to have to
say that all of the Guilford College
student body did not escape the
Christmas holiday traffic safely.
Charles Little, a sophomore here
at Guilford, went home for the
Christmas holidays, home to
Nloorestown, New Jersey. And a
few days before the New Year's
holiday, Charles was out riding
with his mother and his grand
mother, when a car, with the driver
asleep at the wheel, came practi
cally out of nowhere, and side
swiped his car, overturning it. His
grandmother was killed, and Char
lie and his mother both went to the
hospital. His mother is still in seri
ous condition, and although Char
lie had many internal chest in
juries and several gashes, he hopes
to be back on campus not too long
after the start of the second semes
ter, January 27.
We all sympathize with the
Little family, and both the mem
bers of the student body and the
faculty of Guilford College want
to express their sincere hope that
Mrs. Little will soon be better and
that Charlie will soon be back with
us, and as good as new!
