Strong Student Gov't.
Foundation Proposed
At an open meeting on November 30, the student com
mittee on revision of the present W.S.G. and M.S.G. at Guil
ford College, presented its latest proposal for a new student
government. This plan, stressing unity and coordination, is
built on the present government and involves no radical
change. The main idea of the new plan is to form a Student
Legislature which will serve as a link between and as a basis
of coordination for each of the four, now separate, student
government organizations.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., DECEMBER 12, 1961
Organization
The organization of the Men's
Student Government, the Women's
Student Government, the Student
Affairs Board, and the Honor Board
would remain largely as it is now.
The Student Legislature would be
composed of one representative
from each of the preceding organi
zations, the president of each class,
and ten elected members of the
student body—2 senior women, 2
senior men, 1 junior woman, 1 jun
ior man, 1 sophomore woman, I
sophomore man, 1 freshman wom
an and 1 freshman man. An Appel
late Court and an Executive Cabi
net would be chosen from the Stu
dent Legislature. The planning
committee is also considering a
Day Student Affairs Board which
would have a position similar to
the W.S.G. and M.S.G.
The proposed organization is
composed of three major branches
—an executive cabinet, a legisla
ture, and a judiciary. The M.S.G.,
W.S.G., 5.A.8., and the H.B. will
basically retain their present func
tions of legislation and trials of spe
cific problems relative to their or
ganization. Any decision made by
these four groups may be appealed
to the Appellate Court for a final
student decision. The Student Leg
islature, the link between the stu
dents and the faculty and adminis
tration, will handle legislative
issues which involve the entire
campus. It will appoint committees
to organize campus-wide activities,
such as Homecoming and Work
Day. An issue for legislation may
be introduced through a student
representative into the Student
Legislature or any of the other
four legislative branches of the
government. From here, the issue
will be directed to an appropriate

Home Ec. Dept.
Revises Courses
Five revised home economics
courses, one to be offered in the
spring semester of 1962, and the
others during the next school year,
were approved by the curriculum
committee on November 1.
First of the five is a general
course in clothing and textiles, to
be taught by Mrs. Alma Martin.
The four to be scheduled for the
following year are housing and in
terior decoration, foods and nutri
tion, family economics, and home
management.
The curriculum revision was to
provide special home economics
training for women with careers
outside the home. Aim of the
courses is to teach the most expe
dient methods of homemaking and
"use of mind over use of hands."
Courses will be geared to liberal
arts students rather than to profes
sional home economists, to help
such students understand the dual
role of homemaker and career
woman.
