VOLUME L
Plans Progress For
April Symposium
by Porter Dawson
Guilfordian Staff Writer
Plans are steadily progressing in
preparation for what is hoped to
be the first annual Guilford Sym
posium, to be held here April 18-
20.
The topic for the student-initi
ated and organized program is
"United States Foreign Policy in
Southeast Asia. The first day's dis
cussion will center on Viet Nam,
and the second day's on China. An
assessment of Southeast Asian
problems will be the topic for dis
cussion on the third day and speak
ers from two non-aligned nations
will take part.
There will be major addresses by
prominent speakers, mostly in the
evenings. In addition, there will be
speakers available for morning
classes and afternoon forums. To
complement these facets of the
symposium, publications and other
information on Southeast Asia will
be made available.
One of the main purposes of the
symposium as conceived by its
founders is to supplant the emo
tionalism pervading discussions of
our foreign policy on most cam
puses with a clear and comprehen
sive understanding brought about
by real facts as it is hoped they will
be presented at the symposium.
Financial support for the sym
posium is being sought from a
number of possible sources. Vari
ous clubs and organizations on
campus are giving support, and the
Student Affairs Board is consider
ing the granting of a major contri
bution.
In order for interested persons to
know what is being planned for the
three-day period, a twelve-page
program will be distributed prior
to the symposium.
Interest in the symposium has
been widespread, and student par

Students Approve New Budget
The student body has approved"
next year's proposed student legis
lature budget by a considerably
large affirmative vote of 85 percent.
Five hundred eighty-four students
gave their okeys and 109 disap
proved of the $25,500 budget which
was presented to the students for
their final consideration on a March
14 chapel.
The budget was presented to the
students by Bob Mackie after an
introduction by Student Legislature
President Tom Taylor. Mackie, the
treasurer of the Student Legisla
ture and chairman of the Student
Affairs Board, answered all ques
tions pertaining to the budget and
then supervised the balloting.
Mackie later expressed his thanks
and appreciation to the members
of the Student Affairs Board and
the Student Legislature for their
cooperation and help in construct
ing the budget. He also stressed the
importance of the role that the stu
dent body played in the construc
tion of next year's budget: "Thanks
to some of the comments on the
preliminary ballots, we realized
that it is necessary to instruct stu
dents on the function of several of

Biophile Club Urges
Passage of
Conservation Bills
A surprisingly large number of
people at Guilford College have
recently expressed their concern for
some major conservation issues.
Restoration of the water flow into
Everglades National Park, estab
lishment of a Cape Lookout Na
tional Reserve, and prevention of
further pollution of our lakes and
rivers were the major objects of
their attention. Bills concerning
these issues have come or are des
tined to come before the United
States Senate, and the two Senators
from North Carolina—Sam Ervin
and Everett Jordan —have pledged
their support.
Expressing their approval of
these and other conservation proj
ects, the Biophile Club and ap
proximately 300 other interested
students and faculty members sent
a petition to the two Senators urg
ing them to give their full support
to the measures. Both Mr. Ervin
and Mr. Jordan answered promptly
and expressed their sincere grati
tude for the interest and concern
for conservation shown by the club
and the Guilford College commu
nity. They also assured the signers
of the petition that they would
continue to support measures de
signed to conserve our natural re
sources and national beauty.
The Senators reported that the
National Seashore Bill had success

ANNUAL CHOIR TOUR
BEGINS TODAY
by Dave Parsons
Guilfordian Staff Writer
Today at about 1:00 p.m., a bus
load of Guilford students will go
forth to represent the college in
towns as far north as Keene, New
Hampshire. The likelihood of a
crowd gathering to see them off is
indeed slim; yet these students
have trained long and hard for the
eight days to follow. They must,
night after night, be prepared to
overcome the fatigue of long hours
of travel and rise to an energetic,
intelligent level of performance.
How can these remarks apply to
the A Cappella Choir which, ac
cording to common knowledge, gets
an annual vacation in Florida or
New York paid for by the student
body. Surely it is an insult to any
one's intelligence to maintain that
choir trips are anything but a lark.
In reality, fun and fatigue arrive in
almost equal doses for the students
who decide to go. The choir prac
tices five days a week and mem
orizes all its music. Each piece of
music must be sung repeatedly un
til just the right sound comes out,
and this is a tedious, sometimes im
possible task. When the worn-out
choir member arrives back on cam
pus after the tour, a mountain of
accumulated work awaits him.
This enumeration of sacrifices
cannot conceal the enjoyment
which choir members find on these
tours. Since most of the engage
ments are at Quaker meetings, and
choir members stay in the homes of
the congregation members, they
meet a number of new people. The
travel aspect is very attractive —a
chance both to get away and to see
new places. This year, for instance,
the choir will have almost a full
day in New York City between con
certs. The thrill of doing a profes
sional job of singing, of producing
a high quality level performance in
which the individual members of
the group react as one, is not the
least pleasure of the trip.
Several traditions will likely con
tinue on this tour. The same bus
driver is raring to go as usual.
Women outnumber men in approxi
mately the regular three-to-one ra
tio. With long periods of standing
on risers after sitting in a bus all
day, someone will probably faint.
Notes will be missed, belongings
will be left, tempers will fray, and
everyone will know his fellow trav
elers only too well by the time the
bus arrives back at Guilford on
April 3. Several of the notorious
choir tour romances wll doubtlessly
be in full swing or at a low ebb by
then, but before long, things wll be
almost back to normal, and choir
tour will be a dream to be remem
bered nostalgically until the next
time around.
Here follows the schedule of the
choir tour:
March: 26, Waynesboro, Va.; 27,
Riverside, N. J.; 28, Plainfield, N.
J.; 29, New York City: 30, Keene,
N. H.; 31, Cranston, R. I.
April: 1, Lansdowne, Pa.; 2,
Richmond, Va.; 3, Hampton, Va.

NUMBER 9
' time in many years, three positions
will be missing from the ballots.
The editors of The Guilfordian and
The Quaker and the managing edi
tor of The Guilfordian will be ap
pointed instead of elected.
Running unopposed for the Exe
cutive Committee of the Student
Legislature is the ticket of Dave
Stanfield, president; Topsy Floyd,
vice-president; June Tuttle, secre
tary, and John Van Etten, treasur
er.
A meeting of the Student Legis
lature will be held to count the bal
lots as soon as the polls close. The
only results to be made public will
be the names of the winning candi
dates. The ballots will be kept by
the Student Legislature for one
year. In order to eliminate the ne
cessity of a run-off election, ballots
indicating first, second and third
choices will be prepared.
Speeches by candidates seeking
important positions will be given
in chapel on Monday, March 28.
The amount of time allotted to each
candidate will be determined by
the Elections Committee and will
depend upon the number of candi
dates who will speak. These speech
es usually play a large part in the
outcome of many elections. Candi
dates are therefore urged to make
a skillful attempt at presenting
their speeches.
Any questions concerning elec
tions should be presented to the
Elections Committee. The mem
bers of that committee are Alvis
Campbell, chairman; Lee Milner,
Cheryl Rippy, Rusty Maynard, Bill
Neal, and Clarence Crouse.
"Seminars Abroad"
Open to
Guilfordians
The increase in travel and com
munications is rapidly making the
world into a community. A student,
in order to be educated, must un
derstand people of other cultures
and how they think, live and gov
ern themselves.
This summer Guilford College
students are engaging in a project
that brings them to an understand
ing of people of thirteen European
nations. It is called "Seminars
Abroad" and will enable Guilford
students to visit and take part in
cultural seminars in Germany, The
Netherlands, France, Switzerland,
Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, Hungary,
Austria, Czechoslovakia, East and
West Germany, Denmark, and Eng
land.
The students will spend the full
summer (seventy days) abroad and
will travel by air. A week will be
spent in Paris, Rome and Berlin;
ten days in London and three to five
days in other major European cul
tural centers.
The trip is being done at cost
and will amount to a total of SI4OO.
Mr. and Mrs. Claude Shotts will
lead the group. Both have lived
and traveled in Europe and she is
a teacher of European history.
Twenty-five students have al
ready signed up and it will be pos
sible to take about ten more. If you
are interested, see Jane Benbow,
president of the International Re
lations Club, or Mr. Shotts.
