WSG List
This year the WSG has taken
an interest in those students who
have worked hard, but haven't
quite been able to reach the 2.5
or Honor Roll mark. It feels that
these girls are also due some credit.
So the girls on the WSG council
have taken the time to average the
grades of every woman student
and have compiled a list of all
those with a 2.00 average up to

123-Year Tradition
Gain Campus Smoking Privileges Soon
A hundred and twenty-three year
old tradition has finally been
broken here at Guilford with a
new rule introduced allowing girls
to smoke on campus. Regulations
governing this new move have not
yet been established.
According to Dean Bill Yates,
the faculty has approved smoking
on campus for girls only in princi
ple. There is still much to be done
in designating a place, a time, and
other details. The Committee on
Counciling is meeting with a com

dorms) Founders Hall —Nancy

Virginia Cox, Susan Drake,' Carol
Mcßane, Sara Lou Phillins, Geral
dine Waldrep, Dorcas White, and
Mary Ellen White; Day Students—
Talna Eaton, Ruth Hodgin, Nancy
Ellen Jones, and Delores Miller.
Percentage wise, this is approxi
mately equal distribution among
the groups.
In the near future, the WSG
plans to list these girls according
to classes. They hope to keep this
up each semester so that the girls
may compare their standings.

mittee from the WSG today to
suggest and discuss solutions to
this new problem.
This committee will decide when
the rule should go into effect.
(Must the college abide by its
bulletin and uphold the clause
that says girls do not smoke on the
campus? Could the move be put
into effect more easily at the be
ginning of next year?) Another de
tail to be settled is where the
designated smoke room shall be.
Suggestions have included the Stu

And The Students Think...
by BILL WEARMOUTH AND
Jo ANN COOK
With the change that has come
about in the smoking rules for
dirls, the Guilfordian decided that
it was only fair to find out iust how
the students themselves felt about
the idea of girls smoking on cam
mis. To do this, a poll was taken
from a sampling of men and wo
men students in all phases of cam
pus life.
The poll taken among the girls
revealed many and varied opinions.
There were really very few who
were absolutelv against smoking
on campus. One such girl said,
"I think it is a nasty habit and
very unladylike." Other girls said:
"I don't like the idea at all; Guil
ford just wouldn't look right." "It
looks cheap." "There should be a
place for girls to smoke, but not
on campus." "Girls don't get quite
so upset about other rules; why do
they get upset about smoking?"
"The girls know they can't smoke
before they come to Guilford. Let
them go to school somewhere else
if they want to smoke." "A lot of
girls who don't smoke would start."
Many girls who don't smoke
think there should be a place some
where on campus for the girls who
do smoke. They hate to see the
girls jump into a car to go a mile
off campus for a cigarette (or
umpteen dozen in a car is usuallv
the case). This looks cheap and
ronld be dangerous. Girls should
definitely be treated equal to the
boys. Several girls said, "It's the
smartest decision the administra-

the help of the girls so that we
may have co-operative judgement."
When asked how she felt about
this new step, Carol Mcßane,
WSG president, said, "The faculty
is wise in getting rid of the double
standard for men and women. I
think, though, that we must pro
tect all girls and not infringe on
the rights of non-smokers by in
stalling a smoking room where
they all enjoy going."
Coreen Case, Senior representa
tive to the WSG, also voiced her
opinion. "I think the faculty is
wise in allowing the girls to have
a smoking room on campus, and
the girls will certainly abide by
any regulations decided on."
Until the regulations concerning
this new move have been decided,
the old rule of "no smoking within
a mile of the campus" will remain
in effect.
tion ever made. The girls will
smoke regardless of having to go
off campus. Why not make it le
gal?"
Naturally all of the girls who
smoke (and there are quite a few)
were all for it. "I'd love it!" "When
will it come?" "Hallelujah! No
more smoke rides," were some of
Mie excited remarks. The most em
phatic statement came from our
friend from Yankee' land, Van War
ner, who said, "What do you mean,
what do I think?' I think it's the
Greatest thing since Grant took
Richmond."
ON THE MALE SIDE
Across the campus opinions vary
just as widely among the males.
For the most part, male students
are in favor of the girls being al
lowed to smoke, but with stipu
lations.
"Yes, they smoke on every other
campus. Why not let them smoke
here?" This seems to be an under
lying feeling of all the men. Many
are indifferent. When the residents
of the eastern portion of the cam
pus were asked whether or not the
girls should be able to smoke on
campus, the main answer was
eh. Many boys do not like to see
cirls smoke and this was expressed
in the following: "Let them smoke,
but not where we can see it." "They
should have a smoking lounge for
-iris onlv in the basement of one
"Not in the parlors." "I
can t fieht the idea of a girl smok
ing at the corner; it seems to be an
encroachment on sacred masculine
rights." and so forth. Many in
teresting characteristics of the
Quaker female were brought out
in statements such as: "Don't let
them smoke in their rooms. They're
so dang careless they'll burn down
the whole dorm," (quotes a Mr.
Price); "Might as well let them
smoke on campus. Maybe that
would give the cemetery and its
residents some well - deserved
peace;" and finally, "Girls are
sneaky enough. Why make 'em
sneakier?"
Only a few men were in favor of
the status quo regulations. The
masculine portion of the campus
wants to see the girls allowed to
smoke, but not in public.
