Stewart to Make
Good Will Tour
Guilford College Football Coach
John Stewart has been selected by
the Amateur Athletic Union and the
State Department to visit six Afri
can nations this spring.
Stewart will he accompanied by
another coach from the mid-west
and eight members of the United
States Olympic team. The group
will visit Morocco, the United Arab
Republic (Egypt), Kenya, Mada
gascar, Uganda and Tunisia in an
effort to instruct Africans in meth
ods in track and field, and to pro
mote good will between these na
tions and the United States.
Coach Stewart will leave for New
York on April 11 for a two-day in
doctrination period. On April 13
the group will leave by plane for
Morocco, spend approximately one
week in each of the six countries
and will return to Washington, D.
C. on June 1 for a two-day debrief
ing session.
Stewart, who was chosen as Caro
iinas Conference Coach of the Year
by his fellow coaches, welcomed
the trip as both an opportunity and
an honor. "This will be an oppor
tunity that I may have never other
wise gotten and one that I will
always remember. It is also a great
honor for me to serve the United
States as a good will ambassador."
Stewart, who has been given the
title of "manager-coach," plans to
make the most of the opportunity.
"We'll be traveling almost twenty
five thousand miles in six weeks and
they say I won't be in one place
long enough to do my laundry.
With all that sight-seeing I hope
to take some movies and slides and
maybe show them to our students."
Stewart reasoned that if he were
to take such a trip as a vacation it
would cost about ten thousand dol
lars but fortunately the sponsoring
organizations are supplying his
wardrobe (which will include the
oificial United States Olympic team
blazer), expenses and spending
money.
As it is," said Stewart, "the trip

Published by the Students of the South's Only Quaker College
Revelers Met
The Challenge
Local patrons of drama who
were in attendance at the Cuilford
College Revelers' production of As
You Desire Me in Dana Auditorium
Friday and Saturday were perhaps
unaware of several behind-the
scene factors in the production.
To begin with, the plays of Ital
ian Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936),
said to be the most outstanding
playwright between the two world
wars, are relatively obscure in these
parts. As You Desire Me is the first
known production.
The local collegiate drama group
selected the play with the help of
Mrs. Rosalie Ortolani Payne, a na
tive Italian, and a language teacher
at the college. Mrs. Payne helped
with translation and retention of
Italian and Pirandello "flavor."
Another problem was sets and
decorations. The Revelers do not
have a large budget, and the play,
to be effective, needed an authentic
scenario. With a few dollars, a lot
of work, and some fine tools pur
chased by the Revelers a few years
ago, the group came up with a com
pletely new, authentic "Italian-fla
vored" set.
Also, physical characteristics

is worth a lot more than ten thou
sand dollars to me. Athletics take a
person for what he is, not what his
father was. So I think that we'll
have th£ opportunity to show a lot
of people the many things athletics
can do' to bring closeness between
countries."
Stewart's group plans to hold
clinics and demonstrations for Afri
can coaches 'and athletes in the
hope that their skills and tech
niques in the various aspects of
track and field will be improved.
He fefels that he can be especially
valuable in this vein because Afri
cans must often use poor facilities
—a problem that he faced as a high
school track coach. "We must teach
these people how to improvise," he
said. "They must learn how to use
the facilities they have in the best
possible manner."
Coach Stewart says that he has
gotten a lot of good-natured kid
ding from the other coaches.
"Coach Steele has asked me to find
him some eight-foot centers."
On a more serious note, Coach
Stewart said that he had only one
regret about going on the tour. "It

Ethelyn French Stars in "As You Desire Me"
were considered in casting, and
Miss Ethelyn French, junior from
Orlando, Fla., and Nestus Gurley,
Jr., junior from Greensboro, were
outstanding in the lead roles.
Why do the play, when another
might have been less trouble? "We
wanted to try an Italian play," said
Donald Deagon, director of the
Revelers. "Pirandello deals with
people of the lower middle class.
Becky Stout Will Visit India
Becky Stout, a senior at Guilford
College, has been selected to spend
the summer in India on the Leslie
Watt Scholarship of the Experiment
in International Living. One of the
two highest awards given by this
educational exchange organization
whose headquarters are in Putney,
Vermont, it covers the entire ex
penses of a two-month program
which includes one month living
with an Indian family.
Becky is the third Guilford Col
lege coed to take part in a program
of this nature. Several years ago
Leah Harris went to England and
last year Gloria Phillips visited
Switzerland. These two girls, how
ever, were sponsored by local or
ganizations. Becky's trip will be
promoted by a national group.
When asked why she chose In
dia, Becky replied that she had no
specific reasons. "I love that part
of the world and I don't really
know why."
Becky claims that when she ap
plied for the honor during the
Thanksgiving vacation, frustration
almost caused her to abandon the
whole idea. "I had to fill out one of
those long application blanks that
can make you waste a whole va
cation, and there were several times
when I almost tore it up. But I'll
never forget the night the man
called up with the good news. I
thought it was a joke. Now I'm so
overwhelmed with the idea of go
ing that I can't bring myself back
down to earth."
Despite what she says, the petite
redhead is quite down to earth. A
very active 'and outstanding mem
ber of her class, Becky is presently
secretary of the Student Legisla
ture, secretary of the senior class,
a member of the Honor Board, a
Dana scholar, a member of the
Freshman Advisory Council, a
member of the May Court and was
selected for "Who's Who."
Becky, an English major from
Asheboro, N. C., will take part in a
nine-day orientation period in Ver
mont. She will then leave for In
dia, spending July and August at
the homes of two Indian families,
He concerns himself with a number
of philosophic ideas, and his char
acters are dealt with in a pessimistic
fashion. There is confusion, which
is passed on to the audience."
Deagon continued by saying that
"the Revelers have produced some
very good talent, including Miss
French and Mr. Gurley. The play
was a big challenge, and the Revel
ers met it well."
probably in the area of either New
Delhi or Bombay.
While abroad Becky plans to be
come a "shutter-bug" and bring
back to the United States as many
color slides as possible. She hopes
to do a good deal of traveling and
might even meet Dr. and Mrs.
Feagins, who will also visit India.
Becky intends to do quite a bit
of reading about Indian culture be
fore she departs. This, she feels,
will greatly aid in her understand
ing of the Indian people.
"I'm not going to buy any addi
tions to my wardrobe before I
leave," noted Becky. "They recom
mend that we wear native clothes
so that it will be easier for us to
live as the natives do."
Becky Stout is one of more than
2,000 young men and women who
will be visiting forty-six different
countries on every continent this
year under Experiment auspices.
But her honor was a special one.
The Leslie Watt Scholarship is a
full scholarship and the only one
that is offered to a girl.
For Becky Stout, who plans to
become a college teacher, no honor
could be better deserved.

Three-Fourths
Affirmation Is
Not Attained
The student body of Guilford
College has voted down the 1965-66
budget which was recommended
by the Student Legislature on
Monday. This year's budget is
based upon a $3O fee from 825
students.
In comparing the proposed
budget to last year's budget, which
totaled $23,970, we find that:
1. Of the 23 campus organiza
tions that receive money from the
Student Legislature, nine would
have received increases, three
would have received decreases and
eleven would have received the
same amount.
2. The Special Events fund
would have received the largest
increase. Last year they received
$l,lOO. This year they would have
received $1,500. The Social Com
mittee would have also received
a substantial increase from last
year's $1,850 to $2,100. Other or
ganizations slated for increases
were the Women's Athletic Asso
ciation, the Revelers' Club, the
Student Christian Association, the
Literary Society, the Cheerleaders,
the band and orchestra and the day
students.
In a percentage breakdown, 58%
of the students voted "Yes'"; 42%
voted "No." The greatest fault
found by the students appeared
to be in the amount of money
allotted to the choir.
The next vote on the budget
will probably take place during
general spring elections.
Tatum Will Discuss
The Draft
Arlo Tatum, the executive secre
tary of the Central Committee for
Conscientious Objectors in Phila
delphia, will visit the Guilford Col
lege campus on April 8. He will
appear in the Student Union lounge
at 7:30 p.m. to discuss the draft.
It is hoped that Mr. Tatum will
be able to attend several classes
and perhaps dine with interested
students for the noon meal at the
private dining room in Founders
Hall.
The Central Committee is a non
denominational agency which pro
vides counseling and legal aid to
Conscientious Objectors.
Before becoming executive sec
retary Mr. Tatum was formerly gen
eral secretary of the War Resisters*
International, at its headquarters
at Enfield, England.
Four Students Are Honored
Four Guilford College students
who live in foreign countries were
recently honored by the Greens
boro Rotary Club. On March 8,
Patricio Antonio Massu, Bu Choon
Chung, Hideo Shiozumi, and Yong
Moon Lee were introduced to the
club at the O. Henry Hotel. Massu,
Shiozumi and Bu Choon Chung
spoke before the group.
The occasion was prompted by
a proclamation of Mayor David
Schenck, making March 14-20
"World Understanding Week."
Patricio Massu lives in Santiago,
Chile, Bu Choon Chung is from
Seoul, Korea, Hideo Shiozumi hails
from Tokyo, Japan, and Yong Moon
Lee is also from Seoul.
