Inter-Collegiate Council Formed
By PAT ANDREW
Guilford College, A & T
University, Bennett College,
Greensboro College, and UNC-G
have banded together to form
the Greensboro Inter-Collegiate
Council.
The Guilford Student
Legislature will vote Monday
night on the council
constitution, and if approved
Guilford will become the first
In National Merit Competition
Two Named Semi-finalists
Two Guilford College
students, Jean Parvin and Jack
Goodman, were notified
recently of their selection as
National Merit Scholarship
semi-finalists. Only 17 per cent
of the high school students who
took the tests are named
semi-finalists.
It is also unusual for a
Guilford College student to be
named a semi-finalist because in
most cases the semi-finalists are
just beginning their senior year
of high school. However, these
two talented freshmen skipped
their senior year.
Jean Parvin, from Clearwater,
Florida, attended Clearwater
High School. She took extra
courses beginning in the eighth
grade which enabled her to "get
ahead" and skip her senior year.
She felt that she would be
JACK GOODMAN
The Quiffordion
official member of the
organization.
The council, which has been
in formation for almost a year
now, was organized to foster
communications between the
member schools and to give the
colleges and universities in the
Greensboro area a stronger voice
in the local community.
Gerald Phillips, a senior from
Greensboro College and
temporary president of the
repeating much material if she
attended the senior year, so she
elected to come to Guilford
early.
She is interested in math, but
also wishes to become
well-rounded in the humanities
area.
She was attracted to Guilford
partly because it was a "family
school" but mostly because of
the versatility it has by being a
small school.
Jack Goodman also skipped
his senior year at Page High
School in Greensboro. He is a
day student majoring in Political
Science.
His interest in the humanities
is shown by his major and by
being a Richardson Fellow.
The finalists of the National
Merit Scholarship Program will
be announced in February.

organization, outlined one of the
council's objectives as bringing
the separate student bodies
together for a cl&se working
relationship. He looked toward
the eventual publication of an
inter-campus newspaper to
circulate between the five
campuses.
Another advantage the
council would provide for the
member schools would be the
additional financial means
needed to secure "name" groups
for social events. The council
would like to sponsor at least
two or three concerts each year
for the student bodies of the
member schools.
The council also hopes to
organize some student volunteer
services.
Greensboro Mayor Carson
Bane has expressed his
enthusiasm and cooperation, and
has offered to work with the
council.
Zack Lowe and Charles
Bledsoe, representing Guilford,
have been meeting with the
council since early last spring
and have worked toward
securing equal representation for
member schools.
Revelers To Stage
Three Productions
Three major productions are
set to be staged this year by the
Guilford College Revelers Club.
The group met last week for
the purpose of drawing up their
plans for the year.
The first play, to be given
Nov. 15, 16, and 17, will be
Bertolt Brecht's A Man's A Man,
a comedy with an underlying
theme of the effects of
militarism on the individual and
society. Donald Deagon of the
Drama Department, director,
will begin casting soon.
In early December, Pat
Gilbreath will direct one of her
own plays, Snowy Day. This
production was performed in the
1966-67 season under the title
His Name Was Santa Claus. A
large cast will be used for this
light children's production.
Preyer Chairman Named
Ellen Preyer, a sophomore
from Greensboro, has been
named chairman of the "Young
Citizens for Preyer" on the
Guilford Campus.
L. Richardson Preyer is the
Democratic candidate for
Congress from the Sixth District.
Ellen's appointment was
announced at a press conference
last week on the campus of the
University of North Carolina at
Greensboro.
Speaking to student leaders
from nine college campuses, Mr.
Wallace
A Corn-Poned Hitler'
By MARK LESSNER
He is the first third-party
candidate since Roosevelt's Bull
Moose Party in 1912. The
strength of his campaign is
surprising many of the
politicians today, not to
mention his opponents, Nixon
and Humphrey.
According to Time magazine,
he now has one-fifth of the
electorate, or 13.5 million adult
Americans, behind him—"He
appeals to a forgotten class of
Americans," as one Guilford
College student puts it.
He is George C. Wallace, and
despite the fact that he may
only receive 21 per cent of the
popular vote in November
(according to the Sept. 29
Gallup Poll), his American
Independent Party is threatening
to throw the election of the next
President into the House of
Representatives.
His advent on the American
political scene is causing diverse
reactions among the nation's
citizens. In a recent informal
survey on the Guilford College
Campus, students voiced a
number of opinions about the
forceful Alabaman.
"I don't like him. I'm glad I
can't vote," said a student from
Greensboro. "I think he's very
Shakespeare's farcical
comedy Twelfth Night will be
put on in the spring.
Two months are being left
open at the end of the school
year for work on studio
productions of one-act plays,
with the possible entry to the
Carolina Dramatic Association
One-Act Festival. G oxford's
entry last spring, Edward Albee's
The American Dream, received
Distinguished Award in both the
district and state festivals.
A special clinic on the
techniques of make-up is held
every Monday night in the
backstage area of Dana
Auditorium.
Students interested in work
with the Revelers may contact
Marilyn Mclntyre, president of
the club, or Hank Hackett.
Number 3
Preyer said, "It's
bumper-sticking, doorbell
ringing time again and we need
your help. But we want more
from you than legwork, we want
to listen to you, we want you to
turn us on."
Preyer, commenting on
student dissent said, "I believe in
dissent, and we want to listen to
what you have to say."
Jack Pinnix, Editor of the
Carolinian at UNC-G, is the
district co-chairman of "Young
Citizens for Preyer."

local fellow student. A co-ed
from Virginia commented, "He's
a potentially dangerous man. He
appeals to extremists and may
start a civil war. But he is also
living proof that there is an
alternative to the Democratic
and Republican parties. He is
living proof of democracy."

more vehement: "He s—-.
We'd be regressing if he were

In some polls, Wallace is said
to be running second to Richard

GEORGE ROYCROFT
New College
Editor Told
George B. Roycroft, a former
reporter for Channel 8 TV in
High Point, has been named
Director of Information Services
and Publications for Guilford
College.
The 24-year-old Durham
native graduated from High
Point College in 1966 and joined
WGHP-TV to cover the
Greensboro "beat." On July 1
he began his duties here, which
include editing the quarterly
Alumni Journal and serving on
the Publications Board.
Roycroft, who thinks
Guilford is rather cosmopolitan
for a small school, says he hopes
to change Guilford's image
through better coverage of
campus events in the area.
He replaces Caroline Carlton,
who resigned in May to accept a
position at Duke University.
