Foreign Students At Guilford Represent Fifteen
Countries; Four Others Represented By Faculty
As United Nations Week approaches, it might be interesting
to look at the United Nations
right here on the Guilford College
campus. There are nineteen foreign-born students representing
fifteen different countries here.
Six of these students are already
citizens of the United States; nine
of the foreign students are new
to the Guilford student body.
Miss Britta Tengve arrived in
the U. S. on the first of September from Lindesburg, Sweden. She
is sponsored by three Rotary Clubs
—from Asheboro, Siler City, and
Randleman. Britta says America
is much like her native land, but
there are no colleges or boarding
schools in Sweden—only universities. !    |    i j

U. N. Week To
Be Observed
United Nations Week will be
celebrated October 24th through
the 29th. The United Nations
is made up of 60 members all of
which are independent nations.
The main purpose af the United
Nations is to maintain international peace and security and to
take effective measures to prevent and remove threats to
world peace. Therefore, the job
of the United Nations has been
to build an organization that will
be effective in keeping the peace
without any power to compel
obedience of its recommendations.
There is much to be done to
make the UN a better organization. The job is to build it up, not
to destroy it, and to make it work
for the benefit of all free men.
The freshmen chapel on Wednesday, October 2S, will be in
connection with United Nations
Day. Mrs. Raymond Smith of the
Greensboro League of Women
Voters will be the speaker. The
upperclass chapel on October 27th
will see a film entitled "With the
Quakers in Korea." This film wil1
be sponsored by the IRC.

Campus Chest Drive
Now In Progress
The 1955 fund raising campaign
for the Campus Chest is expected
to get off to a good start at the
upperclassman chapel Thursday,
Oct. 2-0. A goal of $925 has been
sot for faculty and student donations as compared to a goal of
$850 last year. This goal of $925
should be met, with a faculty
budget of $450 and a student budget of $475.
Day students will be approached concerning a pledge through
the chapel, 'while soliciting from
campus students will be done in
the dormitories. Each dorm will
be assigned a quota, determined
by the number of residents and
past performances. The campaign
is sponsored by the Student
Affairs Board, with the WSG an.1
MSG supervising solicitation.
The Guilford College allotmen'
for the Greensboro Community
Chest was raised from last year's
$500 to $550 for 1955. The increase
in goal is due to a larger student
body and an increase in the goal
for the Greensboro Community
Chest. The $375 difference in ou'
c mpus goal and the allotmen*.
given us will be distributed among
The American Friends Servic^
Committee, American Heart Association, American Leprosy Foundation, American Red Cross, In-

Guilfordian wishes to honor at
this time those who were not
