2 THE GUILFORDIAN Guilford College, N. C. Published Weekly BOARD. Kathryn Dorsett - - Editor-in-Chiof. Carl Stewart - - Business Manager. Maude Culler Robt.

Itiddick Alma Lassiter Troy Short SuBSCMPTION riUCB SI.OO Address all communications to THE GUILFORDIAN Guilford College, N. C. STUDENT GOVERNMENT. At the present time when all the monarchs of Europe are engaged in such a destructive conflict we arc won I to look with pride at our peaceful, self-governing republic and with pride to claim our share in it. So perhaps it is not strange that at this time there is a move ment on foot to establish a system of student self-government among the College men. This movement is not a new one at Guilford. The present action is only the expression of a long exist ing demand on the part of the more serious minded students to better conditions about the col lege. Jt is quite evident that there is a sentiment among some students that anything they do or fail to do is all right as long as the Faculty does not find it out. Such a spirit on the part of the students is not conducive to right living and does not strengthen the students them selves. The most desirable result deriv ed from a system of student self government is the responsibility which each fellow must assume. The idea that one's fellow students are opposed to those things which injure or lower the college life is a stimulus to good moral conduct. The .near future will call on every man to show liis attitude to ward Ihe movement by more than words and we believe the cause worthy of your support. ALUMNI NOTES. Class of 1914. Katherine K.

For several years the girls and the lady members of the Faculty have realized that an Athletic As sociation independent of the Christian Association was needed.

H. Elliott Company North Philadelphia, Pa. and to some extent it proved a suc cess. We had enthusiastic officers, but the president failed to call a meeting to elect officers for this year. However, early this fall the vice-president called such a meet ing. There has not been much inter est in athletics heretofore, but with Mary Doan as president and Maude Lassiter as secretary there is no reason why the Girls' Athlet ic Association should not he as potent a factor at Guilford College as the boys' association. The president has selected with care the managers for the differ ent branches —Evelyn Briggs, bas ket ball; Luna Cox, tennis; Juliet Ballinger, track; Blanche Dixon and Mary Inn Shaniburger, miscel laneous. The treasurer, Ethel Speas, has already collected the fees and the money has been apportioned to each committee, so that any neces sary things can be obtained. There is absolutely no reason why each girl cannot participate in some form of athletics every day. Is'o girl should be found in her room from four until five-thir ty. The Faculty has kindly fixed our tennis courts, and there is no better way of showing our appre ciation than to let them see 11s playing. We also have the privi lege of using the gymnasium on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and on Saturday morning. Here again is another chance to show our appreciat ion. Those who wish to play neither basket ball nor ten nis should take long walks. By doing one of the above men tioned things we can refresh our physical bodies and thus be able to do more effective school work. ELLIS, STONE & CO.

The largest delegation ever sent from Guilford College to the Southern Student Conference at Black Mountain landed there 011 the 12th of last June. President Perry with seven fellow delegates, J. K. Brown, C. W. Stewart, F. IT. Morris, F. IT. Mendenhall, .T. 1). Wood, Paul Fitzgerald and Paul Nunn proceeded to take in every phase of the life presented at the conference. Each afternoon was given over to the physical side. There were inter-State and inter-collegiate games of base ball. Guilford lost (lie first inter collegiate game, but had a goodly number of men on the Carolina State team which won the inter-State championship. The Guilford tennis team stayed in llie tournament until the semi finals and then was defeated by the Davidson champion team. In basket ball Guilford made a still better showing not losing a single game. The finals were never play ed because of the weather condi tions and shortage of time. An other victory would have put the pennant in our hall. As it is we remain tied with Vaiulerbilt Uni versity for the championship. These bare facts are apt to leave hidden the great spirit of loyalty and fellowship that existed among the conference men. Enthusiastic as every delegate was for his dele gation to do its best in athletics, still more zealous was he that his delegation should conduct itself (Continued on Page Three.)
