BOTTOMS UP!
By EMILY HEDRICK
In the last issue of The Guilfordian, the question was brought up,
"Why Don't Guilford Girls?" Well, Guilford girls have done it; they
have made the major rule changes which the liberals on campus have
been trying to obtain for some time.
Various rules have been reversed, some have been stretched, others
have only been put into writing for the first time.
By the affirmative vote of an overwhelming majority of the women
students, the rules were passed, and were put into effect on October 19,
1966.
SMOKING—Women students, in respect for others, fire, safety, and
the standards of the college, should use discretion in their smoking hab
its. Smoking is not allowed in King Hall, Dana Auditorium, the library,
or while in transit.
Any woman student who unduly disturbs her fellow dormitory
members or damages the residence hall is automatically recommended
for suspension from the college. In case you're wondering, the preced
ing clause canvasses that controversial drinking rule we've been hearing
about for the past several weeks. Now you know!
Other sundry rules on the docket are these: Women students do not
go barefoot on campus. Although the students voted negatively on this
proposition, Dean Lanier has issued a statement that for health and
safety reasons, walking barefoot on campus is prohibited. Injury to the
feet as result of this could have bearing on insurance rates. (For failure
to comply with this rule, one W.S.C. member has suggested that the
offender's foot be cut off.)
Well, Guilford is supposedly a progressive, liberal, modernized little
institution now! All the women students who expressed their opinions
by voting in last Tuesday's referendum are supposedly, to the girl, re
sponsible citizens of our Christian school. Hence, they are all able to
decide maturely—alone and unrestrained save for the "Student Advis
ory Committee"—what is right and best for them.
So let's have a toast to their complete satisfaction: Bottoms up!

Wellons to Attend Seminar
Stephen Wellons has been select
ed by Guilford College to attend
the Fifth Annual Walter F. Fan
court Memorial Seminar to be held
October 27 and 28 in Greensboro.
He will be accompanied by Prof.
Harvey A. Ljung.
The seminar, sponsored by the
W. F. Fancourt Co., textile chemi
cal specialists, is a meeting of the
textile industry's executives and
students from major universities
and colleges in North and South
Carolina. It is the only such event
in the entire industry held each
year to explain the opportunities
for young people in the field.
The seminar consists of discus
sion sessions with leading textile
personnel and visits to textile man
ufacturing plants.
This year industry personnel who
will address the students are Mer

And the rains came. This should
sum up the homecoming activities
of last weekend. Although morales
were dampened by the
uncooperative weather, high spirits
prevailed.
Homecoming got off to a great
start Friday night at the dance in
Founders. A large nnmher of Guil
ford students and their dates were
present to see three terrific combos
perform. The show started with the
Fabulous Five, a group always
welcome on this campus. Then the
new group, the Daydreams, came
on stage and put on one of the best
shows ot tne evening. The Tams
did their usual great routine. (Here
an apology to my good friends the
Tams who were falsely credited in
the last issue with two of Maurice
Williams' hits.) Several couples felt
inclined to dance; the majority of
the evening swaying back and forth
in chairs. Twelve o'clock came all
too soon and the dance broke up.
A few fortunate students went into
the Tams' dressing room to secure
autographs. All who went to the
dance agreed it was really a suc
cess. We only hope that such good
entertainment will not disappear
with the homecoming decoratons.
The Saturday activities began at
ten o'clock with an open house at
New Garden Hall. Coffee and cook
ies were served to parents and
alumni who ventured out into the
already dampening weather. It was
interesting to note the conversation
among the alumni. Naturally, their
main topic was of homecoming.
Many of them complimented this
year's decorations, adding, "Of
course, they aren't as good as ours!"

The biggest attraction at the re
ception was the art collection
shown in the Board Room by James
McMillan. Having seen his paint
ings earlier, I was extremely curi
ous to see if others were as im
pressed by the collecton as I. All
comments were enthusiastically fa
vorable. Everyone remarked on
the colors, depth of feeling appar
ent in each picture, and the em
phasis on hands. The alumni were
all interested in seeing New Gar
den Hall. One man even pointed
out the exact spot where Dr. Hobbs
was married (when the building
was the Meeting House), noting
that Mrs. Hobbs stood at what is
now the position of the chairman of
the board.

Dorm after the reception I couldn't

Art Films Planned
At Campus Library
Herbert Poole, Guilford's Direc
tor of Libraries, announced this
week that two art films will be
shown in the library during the
month of November.
On November 1 and 2 at 9:30
a.m. and 3:30 p.m., a film entitled
"Gothic Art" will be shown in the
Fine Arts Room. This film describes
a search for spiritual beauty in an
ugly world—that is, the art of
North Europe from the late twelfth
to the fifteenth century as seen in
the great cathedrals and their deco
ration. Emphasis is placed upon
determining the origins of Gothic
art as manifested in St. Denis and
Chartres. Structural developments
are interwoven with inconographic,
stylistic, religious, and cultural val
ues to provide an overview of the
many aspects of emerging art forms
in the period. This film has a run
ning time of eighteen minutes and
is in color.
The second art film is entitled
"Chartres Cathedral." This film will
be shown on November 8 and 9 at
9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. also. This
film, which is in color and has a
running time of thirty minutes, is
devoted to a study and interpreta
tion of the great Gothic Cathedral
of Chartres.
In announcing the films, Mr.
Poole indicated that their primary
interest would be to students study
ing art and to students studying
French civilization and culture. He
pointed out, however, that any stu
dent who would like to see the films
is invited. The Fine Arts Room is
located on the second floor of the
north side of the library, and has
a capacity for approximately thirty
people. It is hoped that with four
showings for each film, everyone in
terested can be accommodated.
