Fire Guts
New
At 1:30 the ninth of November
there was quite an incident tak
ing place at New Men's Dorm on
the campus of Guilford College.
It involved a trash fire which ori
ginated on the second floor of die
dorm. In just a short few minutes
most of the boys had completely
evacuated the dorm and were
standing around in everything
from coats and ties to p. j.'s
In talking with one of the lire
men, Randlc Simpson who is on
duty at fire station 9, he said that
fur all such fires at the campus it
is necessary to have on the first call
two hook and ladders and two
pumpers. The stations that were
represented at the fire were 5, 9,
and JO. A pumper and hook and
ladder came from fire station 9
on Friendly Road, two more trucks
came from station 5, and one morj
pumper from the High Point Road
station.
The fire, although the cause is
not quite known, proved once
again the speed and efficiency of
of the Greensboro fire dept.

You, Too, Can
Beat The Draft
Cheer up, fellow class-mates. All
is not lost yet. We're still at Guil
ford and not in Viet Nam. Just to
day, 1 heard that the Marines ha\x 1
gotten enough enlistments to make
the draft unnecessary and all of uic
other services say that enlistments
are up to the student who wants
to avoid the Army tor a while long
er, this is great news.
Just in case you're still worried
about being chatted into the Anuy,
I'm going to give you some infur
ination atraignt from the Berkley
campus of UCLA, his advice, pari
of a phainphlet entitled "Ways
and Means ol Beating and Deleav
ing the Draft", was tirst published
111 News-week, but since it's a public
service, I'm sure they won't mind
naving it re-printed here. So here
it is, straigni from the Horse's
mouth, the original campus rebels
of Berkley, the best ways to beat
the draft:
*2ie a C. O. Write your local
dralt board requesting uie spe
cial conscientious objector tor 111
SSS 150. Now if you don't have
religious or philosophical rea
sons that cause you to be against
war "in any form," don't let it
bother you. . .
*Have a "demonstration" dur
ing your pre-indi tion physical.
This is a way for pofiucal ob
jectors to get a 4-F and cause the
military a lot oi trouble. Arrive
at the examination center wear
ing signs. Leaf-let your fellow
prospective inductees. Be deter
mined and the officers will be
only too glad to get rid of you.
*Re!use to .sign the loyaivy
oath. They'll investigate you and
if you've been fairly active in
any of the "subversive" campus
movements, they won't want
you.
*Be "gay". Play the homo
sexual bit. Mark "yes", or don't
mark the "Homosexual tenden
cies" line on the form. Psychia
trists may give you the run
around but slick with it. Besides
flicking your wrist, move youi
Nurse,
Miss Mary Jackson Shearon was
found dead in her room in .he
inlirmaxy oi Guilford College on
Friday October 29, 1965. Miss Shea
ron was die daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. William R. Shearon of Wukt
Forest, iNoith Carolina. Miss Shea
ron attended City Memorial Hos
pital School of Nursing and after
graduation became die school nurse
ior Guilfoul College. She was ma
joring in English at Guilford and
was working toward an A. B. in
that major. Miss Shearon was a
liaptist, yet regularly attended the
Friends meeting at Guilford.
Jackie Shearon was not an extro
vert, biiL seemed to keep more to
herself. The friends that she devel
oped while on the campus thought
quite highly of her and they seem
ed to have developed more than
just a friendly relationship with lxr
but rather a deep seated affection
and admii alion. A person interest
ed in a career of nursing must
certainly develop a sincere interest
in the people around her. It has
been said that she not only admin
istered to one's physical needs but
also one's spiritual needs. Persons
have expressed their feelings about
Jackie Shearon in a very deep and
sincere way. They have said that
body like the chicks do hoJd
cigarette delicately talk melodi
caily, act embarassed in front of
the other guys when you undies*.
Ask your girl-friend to give you
lessons. .
*Note from Doctor. If you
have a "friendly" family doctm
or can buy one, you if iind lie s
extremely lianuy. oei a signed
note aoin iuiu attesting to a

* Jail recoid most of us aren I
lucky enough to liave a ieiony re

signs all over tne piace telling
you what a crime you il be com
mitting ll you uon t teil tiiein.
Misueamors it you've gut
enough of them are a good
deal.
*Play psycho. If you've ever
been to see a 'liead-siirinker'
even once by all means mark
so on lorms. A note from 111111
and a little bit of acting with
dns will go a long way. Chew

Viet Cong being out to get you.
Tell diem you re a secret agent

* Arrive drunk. Being late here
really helps. They may send you
away to come back another any,
but it'll iook good to have it on
your record. . .
* Arrive Itigh. They'll snieii
it, and you won't have to admit
it. 11 you want to go about the
addictioii scene in a really big
way, use a common pin 011

advance.
*Be an undesireabte. Go for a
couple of weeks without a show
er. Really look dirty. Stink. Long
hair helps. Go in barefoot witn
your sandals tied around your
neck.
*Bs a troublemaker. Refuse
to follow orders. (You don't

(Continued on P. 4, Col. 1)
she enriched the lives of all that
she knew, because she had a certain
.•eienity and peace that allowed
persons to confide in her.
Jackie Shearon had plans for
the future, lor she had expressed
.111 interes; in becoming a mission
ary nurse through the Friends
Meeting. She had expressed an in
cerest in a missionary hospital in
Kenya, East Africa, and had plans
to make the trip.
The question arises in the minds
of many people as to why she
jhose death rather than life. This
question can only be answered by
each individual, for it seems that
there was no indication that she
had a motive for her actions. She
seemed to have a full life: one of
insight, leflection, humor, yet per
haps no one allows every facet of
their personality to be scrutinized.
The meaning can be best ex
pressed by using a excerpt from the
prayer used by D. Aldean Pitts al
the funeral. . . "Let the Spirit of
Christ lead us through this short
life into wholeness, helpfulness,
and righteousness, so that, when
we have served our generation, the
measure of our usefulness will not
be determined by length of days,
but by breadth and depth, radi
ance and enthusiasm."

The Bloodmobile
Visits
by Virgil V. Homey 111
Today was a special day on
the campus. The Red Cross
iJloodniobile made its annual visit
uere. Your humble reporter, with
>our interest in mind, went down
to the Union to get the story. To
be frank, thib is not a first-hand
report. 1 had intended tor it to
oe such but a recent illness made
it impossible for me to donate
at this time; however, when tiie
liioodmobile goes to Greensuoro
College a litile later on, I plan to
make the trip.
The trip was not a total loss for
I was able to meet Mrs. Jo Ann
t'ate, the lady in charge of the
uloodmobile here. Mrs. Pate was
Kind enough to give me a guidul
tour of '.lie bloodmobile. To all of
>ou who gave blood, the blood
mobile was a fascinating experi
ence but since 1 feel sure that there
were a few, and I hope only a few,
who did not get by the Union I'll
describe the bloodmobile.
Upon entering the Union you
turn in your permission card
and receive a card which you fill
in with your name address, et
cetra. Afier filling out the card,
you are ready to go into the blood
mobile.
The first stage is fairly simple. A
volunteer nurse checks your weight
(you must weight no lbs.) your
pulse (at least 60 and not over
100 beats per minute), and your
