WORLD CLOTHING WEEK
Last spring Guilford students responded overwhelmingly to a plea
for clothing made on behalf of poverty and war-stricken people around
the world. Nearly 400 pounds ot clothing of every variety were collected
and packaged for shipment.
This year, during the week of April 23 to April 30, the International
Relations Club will again be sponsoring a clothing drive.
Clothing collected will be sent as before to the World Clothing
Fund, an organization which, during the past three months, has given
away 203,754 pounds of used clothing to families in the economically
depressed regions of Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia; to Ameri
can Indians living in abject poverty on reservations in the Southwest;
to Cuban refugees; and to Eskimos so poor they have only oilcloth
bindings to protect their feet.
Dorm representatives who will collect the clothing are as follows:
Founders —Joann Hanks, Starr Sisk; Shore—Mary Ann Chappell, Gaye
Mason; Hobbs—Jeannine Voss, Jane Ansell, Penny Smith; Cox—George
White, Maurice Raiford, Don Foltz, Dave Miller, Dan Raiford; Eng
lish—Don Cox; Archdale—Alan Mabe, John Huffman; Frazier Apart
ments —Georgia Childress.
A box will be placed in the lobby of the College Union where day
students may leave their donations.
Guilfordians: Let's do this up right . . . say, 600 pounds?
HAVE A FIASCO
Of the spate of stories recently filed out of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.,
concerning the antics of collegians vacationing there during spring vaca
tion, perhaps the most substantial was the story written by Associated
Press staff writer Ben Funk.
For part of his story, Funk interviewed Dr. Granville C. Fisher,
psychology professor at the University of Miami who, Funk wrote,
entertained 40 of the visiting collegians in his home.
According to Punk's report, Dr. Fisher saw no mystery in the col
legians' longing for the beach or their inclination to rebel against
police restrictions.
Funk quoted the professor: "Roughing it on the beach and under
the moon and the palm trees is a satisfying thing. It means getting away
from the impact ot policemen and buildings and automobiles and back
to nature. There is no reminder of their 'imprisonment' by society.
"These are young, healthy, vigorous young people just beginning to
feel their adulthood and becoming more rebellious against controls.
"Left to themselves, there would be less mischief. Under controls,
they try to slash back and smash things—if not material things, the code
of society.
"They don't mean to raise h . . . The demonstrations were just their
declaration of independence."
Frankly, Dr. Fisher's is the soundest explanation of the fracas we've
yet read or heard. Though it by no means exonerates the hi-jinxing
students, it does go a long way toward explaining their erratic behavior.
EDITOR'S NOTES...
From John Huffman's Little Quakers at the top of page one, to
Lynne Hundley—the only co-ed sports editor that we know of in the
country —this is an all-new experiment in Guilfordianism.
For die first time in Guilford's annals, selected staff reporters have
been assigned the responsibility of reporting on all meetings of the
Men's and Women's Student Government, with one exception: when
cases are being tried.
The reason for this exception is to prevent the possibility of dam
aging any student's standing or reputation. All other MSG and WSG
meetings and goings-on, however, will be covered.
Club and administration reporters will also be at work, providing
continuous coverage of the doings of Guilford's club and faculty mem
bers.
This leaves the reporting and writing of feature articles and the bulk
of other significant campus news to The Guilfordian's pool of general
assignment staff reporters.
Our single purpose in setting up this new system is to provide accu
rate and complete reporting of all campus and campus-connected news
to all those sufficiently interested in Guilford to read these pages. You
can aid in the accomplishment of this end by keeping The Guilfordian
informed of all newsworthy happenings that occur within your private
sphere of knowledge.
Keep in mind, too, that The Guilfordian is always in the market for
letters to the editor, new talent, pictures, cartoons, and feature stories. So
if you've always wanted to try your hand at doing something publish
able, come by and see us. The office in the College Union is open every
Monday through Friday of the school year from 2 to 5 p.m. for just that
reason.
THE GUILFORDIAN
Peace Corps
by Margaret Leith
More interest has been express
ed in the Peace Corps than in any
other subject discussed during the
recent Presidential campaign.
Many young people have volun
teered to serve in the Corps, show
ing their sincere desire to help in
the vast war being waged against
poverty, ignorance, and disease.
Now Congress and the administra
tion are working to bring forth
reality from this idealism.
The Peace Corps will have four
main purposes: to identify men
with economic and social aid pro
grams, to provide opportunities for
constructive expression of youthful
idealism, to use more of the avail
able American technicians abroad,
and to encourage and prepare our
young people to serve overseas,
thereby bringing a greater sense of
world understanding to American
communities.
A wide range of jobs will be fill
ed by Peace Corps volunteers.
Technicians in all fields are need
ed, as are engineers who can help
build schools, clinics, community
centers, roads, and irrigation proj
ects. There is also a need for those
trained in medicine, nursing, and
administration, and for English
teachers.
The Peace Corps offices are re
ceiving applications from volun
teers at the rate of two hundred a
day. When the total reaches five
thousand, two or three weeks from
now, the selection of the most
capable volunteers will begin. The
actual processing of applications
will be handled by giant IBM com
puters.
Preference will be given to those
applicants having college degrees,
but exceptions may be made in
the cases of farmers and others hav
ing special skills or training.
Those chosen to serve in the
Corps will undergo six months of
special Peace Corps training, in
cluding an extensive physical fit
ness program.
Each volunteer will go abroad
with a sound knowledge of his own
culture and history, as well as an
understanding of the language and
culture of the country he will
serve. These areas are expected to
be in Africa, the Middle East, and
Latin America.
Corps members will be obligated
to serve for at least three years,
and will receive an expense allow
ance plus a stipend of eighty dol
lars a month.
It is estimated that the total cost
involved in the training, service,
and transportation of each Corps
member will be five thousand dol
lars a year. This means three thou
sand volunteers could be sent
abroad at a cost of less than one
percent of our present annual for
eign aid expenditures.
Many supporters of the Peace
Corps believe that volunteers
should be exempt from the draft.
Opposition to this idea has come
from many quarters, however, and
at present draft exemption does not
seem likely. Former Vice-President
Richard Nixon is one of many who
fear that the Peace Corps might
become a haven for draft dodgers
if such a policy were adopted.
Individuals interested in volun
teering for service in the Peace
Corps may obtain information and
application blanks from any post
office.
SAB MEETS
A joint meeting of old and new
Student Affairs Board members
was held April 13.
Officers elected were Jim Boles,
president; David Miller, vice-presi
dent; Judy Allen, secretary; and
Judi Tindall, assistant secretary.
Advisers for the next year will be
Dr. Kent, Dr. Purdom, Dr. Vic
torius, Miss Marlette; and one
other, to be appointed by Presi
dent Milner.
Letters to the Editor
Sir:
The Monogram Club has had more
successful functions in the past than any
other club on campus. Last year they put
on one of the best talent shows Guilford
has ever had. I made sure to attend this
year's show which was given Friday
evening with the hope that I would have
a fine evening of entertainment. There
was no doubt in my mind that this year's
show would be as good as, or better
than, last year's.
_The curtains opened after I had paid
$.50 at the door and had taken a seat
in a half-filled auditorium. Then the
pain began. Besides a poor presentation
of Guilford College talent, a guest group
performed at a cultural level that I
would find hard to comment on. I must
say that the group was loud though,
because my seat was shaking from the
vibrations of a turned-up amplifier and
constant dissonances.
I hope the many people who attended
the show from the surrounding com
munities keep quiet about the show.
Several of them left before the show was
over! But then, so did my friend and I—
he of a headache; I of an upset stomach.
What has happened to the Monogram
Club?
—Frank Walton
Sir:
IT OCCURS TO ME THAT:
° Since women's suffrage has been
achieved, ladies have ever been search
ing for higher goals. Recently, a don
key by the name of Cinderella made
a bid to attend classes at King Hall.
It's not than I'm conservative, it's just
that I feel if such practices continue,
every jackass will want to go there.
0 Misplacing vehicles has become quite
the fashion. Some have been found on
tennis courts, at the lake, in the dorms,
and on the Student Union patio. Los

sort of automobile amnesia is a little
ridiculous. •

pets, gray ones could easily be done
without, especially in the men's dor

TWENTY - FOUR
By JANE ALLEN -
"Cinderella," the May Day theme, is a fantastic fairy tale about mice,
lizards, pumpkins, people, and Raggedy Ellas, and the deeper we get
into planning it the more fantastic it becomes. In good faith, the part of
die pumpkin was promised to Maggie Seymour, and she had the nerve
to refuse it. Instead, she is going to wave the magic wand.
Jane Ansell will be the king. At try-outs Ansell out foot-stomped,
out-blessed everyone for letting the beautiful fairy princess get away
from the prince. Even in "Once upon a time" days young men suffered
from parental intrusion in marital affairs: The stupid prince couldn't
even get his own girl and keep her. But then, who would try if their
daddy was always throwing big parties and inviting all the girls on the
block? After all, let's not ruin a good thing.
Four Corners and Mozart
The Social Committee is planning activities for Friday, May 5, so
that events for the weekend will be as follows: Friday night—Cookout
with Four Corners and a combo; Saturday 6 a.m.—Men's May Day; Sat
urday 3 p.m.—WAA May Day; Saturday night—May Day Dance; Sun
day afternoon—Mozart's Requiem by the "G" choir; and a possible
movie or informal party Sunday night. We are going to have a May Day
Weekend!
Meeting Prerequisites
The Revelers' Club has begun a new system of choosing plays where
by each member of the Dramatics Council will be reading plays and
submitting their preferences for consideration. Quite a bit of interest
has been shown for "The Diary of Anne Frank," which meets the pre
requisites of medium size cast, not too elaborate costumes or scenery,
not too extravagant royalty fees, and high quality drama. Although no
plays have been definitely selected, some time has been spent discussing
which one-act play would be appropriate for the dedication program
of the new auditorium, scheduled for October. Maybe some of you
have plays to suggest . . .
Paint Peeling Plans
Work Day plans are exciting. All Philosophy 24 students will be
assigned to scrape and paint the columns on the various buildings in
volved, as their knowledge of the basic structure of Doric, lonic, and
Corinthian columns qualifies them alone for the intricate task. No one,
however, with less than an 88 average in the course will be trusted with
the project. The remaining majority will be peeling paint off porches.
Working in the basement of Mem Hall, preparing it for the forth
coming bookstore, will be all Geology majors, but since we have so few,
those men responsible for the discovery of the extraordinary specimen
of granite which was until recently in Mrs. Bartlett's possession will
be asked to assist. Pre-engineering students have been selected for the
bridge building, and Sociology enthusiasts are planning the picnic area
reconstruction for maximum recreational appeal in accordance with
accepted norms.
Dirty Goldberg
Parking will soon be an organized activity since the day-hops are
going to mark off the parking lot behind the Union. One important
project has been overlooked. With gratification to the administrative
committee on campus beautification, Founders Hall is graced with an
unpainted (except for the blue marks of a carpenter's pencil) rose trellis
from which in early spring come the howls of the campus tom-cat who
courts Dirty Goldberg of Mary Hobbs Hall. Pardon me, it's Zoo time.

no basis for trying him. Israel
didn't exist at this time. The peo

did. Now it is too late to really do
anything that would be just."

importance because it raises the
question as to whether crime
against fellow humans is made
legal or acceptable in a state of
war. The trial itself should prob

since its nature is of world-wide
scope and implication; and, also,
because this would provide a truly
fair trial."
