Why Coats & Ties?
The question has been posed
many, many times by almost every
male on campus: "Why do we have
to wear a coat and tie to dinner?'
Recently the Guilfordian modified
the question to: "Would it not be
possible to preserve the same uni
formity among the men students
by requiring only a tie and dress
shirt?"
The administration feels that this
is not possible. They point out that
the male student presents a better
appearance and behaves better
when he is well dressed. The ad
ministration ako feels that the
warm weather now upon us is not
warm enough to cause discomfort
or increased laundry costs sufficient
to justify abandoning the coat re
quirement.
However, there is one bright
spot in this. Male students on
campus during summer school will
be required to dress neatly at all
meals and wear dress clothes only
at Sunday dinner.
Girl's May Day
Huge Success
The celebration of the May was
traditional in England during the
fifteenth century. It was a cele
bration by the people of each vil
lage of the re-awakening of Na
ture. At a time when the lives of
these people were filled with the
rigors of gleaning their existence
' from the land, what occasions
j could be more joyous than the bud
ding of the trees and the coming
of green grass and colorful flow
ers? It was a time when the people
of each village took leave from
'their daily labors to participate in
games and dances to express their
delight for the arrival of spring.
Guilford honored its prettiest co
eds at the Girls May Day celebra
tion on May 5. Each year the May
Queen and her court are enter
tained with a performance of all
the women students on campus in
a program sponsored by the W.A.
A. This year's theme was based on
the old English celebration of the
May and was entitled "Robin
Hood and His Merry Men."
After the May Queen and her
court had taken their seats to
watch the festivities, some girls
representing the townspeople gath
ered in the area before the court
to place flowers at the base of the
maypole. Women with hastily
ironed costumes, pinned together
at the waist, wearing their room
mates "peasant" blouses and "men'
who were sewed into their pants,
trudged bare-foot into the roped
off green to deposit their Kleenex
carnations in a heap on the grass
beside the pole. With an air of suc
cess (because the May Pole re
mained upright during the pro
cedure), the "village folk" pro
ceeded to trip lightly through a
combination square dance schot
tische—jitterbug tvpe dance and
hurriedly passed out of the arena.
Next in line was another group
of villagers who did a complicated
version of a Paul Jones which left
many of the dancers at a loss for
what to do with their legs and
arms.
Next, the "fair young maidens
of the village" entertained the
Queen with their repertoire of
games. Each pair of girls were
dressed alike in cute little jumpers
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MAY 28, 1962
Head Resident to
Retire From Hobbs
Along with this year's many
changes at Guilford, there will be
I still another change next year
Seventy-five lives on this campus
will be affected. All kitchen rights
in Mary Hobbs will be jeopardized.
No longer at 12:00 p.m. will the
dorm hear the soft jingle of keys
down the dark hall, through the
quiet and spacious dining room,
into the kitchen, for a food-raid.
Why will all this end? What is
the reason for the change? Why
will Hobbs girls feel insecure and
unsure? The reason for such in
stability is that Hobbs is losing its
house mother, Miss Hassie John
son.
Miss Johnson will be ending her
twelfth year here at Guilford as
head resident at Mary Hobbs. Be
fore her siege at Hobbs, she was a
dietician at a girls' boarding school.
She has done well to put up with
the impetuous but helpful Hobbs
girls. Miss Johnson has offered her
services as a house mother and
dietitian as well as her interest in
the many campus activities. Her
genuine and sincere concern foi
her girls has helped all of them
maintain the dorm as their home
in accordance with the co-opera
tive idea.
Every one in Hobbs owes much
to their house mother and they
will always think of her fondly in
relation to Hobbs. She has good
naturedly put in a great deal of
hard work for Hobbs. Whoever
her replacement may be, Miss
Johnson will be always remem
bered affectionately.

sure to show their best dimples and
as much of their pantaloons as
possible as they stubbed their toes
jumping rope and mashed their
hair-dos doing cartwheels. After
two minutes of leering from the
elder male portion of the audience,
the "fair maidens" waved bye-bye,
and were gone.
Then the festivities were "raid

Revelers "Twist"
Moliere's Comedy
(Reprinted from the DAILY TAR
HEEL, Saturday, April 14, 1962.)
The Twist reached the stage of
the Playmakers Theater here yes
terday with the production of a
play written 295 years ago.
In a free adaption of Moliere's
: play "The Doctor in Spite of Him-
I self," the Revelers of Guilford
! College, directed by Donald Dea-
{ gon, brought the house down dur
j ing the second day of the State
Drama Festival now in progress
j here when the eight-member cast
I suddenly broke out in a jubilant
twist.
Written in 1666 as a rollicking
farce with barbs for the medical
profession, the new translation was
staged in modern street clothes
with such characters as moon-
I shiners, big-time gangsters, hoods,
and sexy sirens frequenting the
{stage.
Moliere's domestic farce norm-
J ally ends when a head-strong
young couple is reunited through
j the efforts of the friendly doctor—
j but in the jazzed-up Playmakers'
: version, written by Guilford Col
lege student Howie Krakow with
additional dialogue added by the
j cast —the doctor leads the hoods,
j the sidens, and the lovers in a
frantic Twist.
Guilford College to
Expand Next Year
Guilford College is on the move
as buildings and additions go up
with break-neck speed. During the
summer a new power house will
be built to take over the responsi
bilities of the now overworked
powerhouse.
The two new dormitories al
ready in progress will be able to
accomodate four hundred students.
There will be about 150 women in
the new women's dorm, and ap
proximtely 250 men will be housed
in their new dormitory. All of the
furniture will be stationary.
The cafeteria addition will
double the size of the present din
ing hall while increasing the kitch
en facilities. There will be two
serving lines to speed up service
during breakfast and lunch, and,
because of the increased size,
there will be a return to the family
style suppers. Beneath the new ad
dition to the cafeteria there will be
a large recreation room capable of
being used for dances.
The addition to the library is
still in the planning stage and no
date has been set for the beginning
of construction.

' Everyone talks about it, but one
girl did something about it. Last
fall when the peace corps repre
sentative visited Guilford, Linda
Palmer, a sophomore psychology
major from West Stockbridge,
Mass., became interested in the
project. She investigated the possi
bilities and made her application
On April 13th, she received a
letter of acceptance from Sergeant
Shriver, the director of the Peace
Corps program.
Beginning on June 20, 1962,
Linda will enter three months of
intensive study at a university yet
to be named in western United
States. At the end of this training
period, there will be a selection of
those qualified to advance further
in Peace Corps work.
Linda has been assigned to train
for work in the Philippine Islands
as an elementary school teacher's
aide in the instruction of English,
math, nd science. One of the major
problems in the Philippines is the
lack of a single national language,
a common means of communica
tion. There are 87 native dialects,
of which 9 are considered major.
In 1937 Tagalog, the language
sjoken in the Manila area, was
chosen as the national language.
Although it is now a required sub
ject in all the public schools, Taga
log is used in ordinary conversation
by only one-third of the people.
English and Spanish are also
official languages with English
used as the medium of teaching
in the schools beyond the third
grade. All discussions, instruction,
textbooks, and assignments are in
English. With the exodus of Ameri
can teachers after World War II
and the rapid expansion of the
school system, there has been a
serious deteriortion in standards of
English teaching.
The Peace Corps on invitation
by the Filipino Government al
ready has 120 Volunteers working
in the schools. By next September
there are expected to be over 700
Volunteers.
If Linda is accepted for the pro
gram after the initial three-month
training period, she will spend
from 21 to 33 months in the Philip
pines. After that she plans to re
turn to Guilford to complete work
for her degree.
Rah, Rah, Quakers!
RAH-RAH-RAH! That was a
familiar sound around campus last
week as fifteen girls anticipated
cheerleading try-outs. It was sore
muscles and hoarse voices for
awhile—but the big day finally ar
rived Thursday, May 10. The girls
were set and ready to blast with
the cheers—and the judges were
late. Well, better late than never.
They finally showed up and the
try-outs began. RAH-RAH-RAH
and it was all over, but it wasn't
really quite that easy. The girls, in
groups of three had to perform
four cheers. After the judges had
been in conference several times,
the decision was made.
The girls selected to join Kay
Smith and Judy Wells, head cheer
leaders, for the *62-'63 season are
Darlene Brigance, Carol Kirkman,
Laurie Russell, Kay Stabler, and
squad veteran, Brenda Ferguson,
who served as an alternate last
year. Jeannine Voss and Judy Dan
iels were selected as alternates for
the fall season.
