Member of North Carolina Collegiate Press Association EDITORIAL COMMENT More College and University Al umni are concerned about Athletics at their Alma Mater than are con cerned in any other one feature of college life, according to one of the State newspapers, which raises the question whether or not these alumni are emphasizing the most important thing in the college in which they are interested, and whether the present tendency is not running to an extreme in one direction. We do not wish to comment on the Tight or wrong of this question here, but realizing that the interest of college supporters lies in this di rection, it is of the greatest import ance that they become acquainted with the efforts which are being made to safeguard their interest by .keeping our American College Sports upon the highest possible level. The aim is to keep intercollegiate con tests in the hands of bona fide college students, who play for the love of the game and the institution which they represent in the class room as well as on the field, rather than to let it drift into the hands of the professional and the ringer. We are glad to note that at last the unfair practice which certain in stitutions made on offering financial inducements to Athletic Stars, in order that they may lure them from institutions which will not stoop to a sacrifice of scholastic standard and sportsmanlike conduct in order to collect a winning team, is receiving the attention of the colleges and that a united effort is being made to rule out all such practices. Various associations and individual regulations have been in operation among the larger Universities for some time. These have excluded all students who fail to make passing grades in their scholastic work and have resulted in the adoption of the one year rule and in the limitation of the number of years for partici pating to four. Princeton has gone even a step further than, this in proposing that the Tiger Athletes who fail to main tain their scholastic elegibility shall have their awards revoked and lose the right, to wear the Varsity insig nia which they may have won pre viously. To quote from the Tiger Athletics, "The plan will not only lend an added incentive to the efforts of athletics who become delinquent -n their work but will elevate the premium at which the insignia is held, and in general will raise the tone of athletics. The athlete will realize that the curriculum is not to be slighted." All the rules of course which are applicable to the large college will not meet the situation confronting the small institution. To meet the need of the latter the "Virginia- and North Carolina Intercollegiate Ath letic Conference," which is now in the making, promises to be the biggest step yet taken. That the rules to which the contracting colleges agree will work a certain amount of hard ship and inconvenience, goes with out saying. The college whose stu dent body is small, will of necessity have a handicap in playing under these regulations against colleges Avhich are not subject to such strin gent rules. But to eliminate the player who shifts from school to school and to out-law the hired professional is a cause worthy of the sacrifice. The Alumni and Student bodies of our Colleges, must wake up to the danger of professionalism and the demand for a winning tearti at all costs. The fight for clean ath letics must be carried on. Intercol legiate sports exist for one purpose, to develop character. According to President Tucker of Dartmouth the three points that justify college sports are. "that they make a gi'eat school for training in leadership, that participation in them is bene ficial to the members of the team because of the character of democ racy it inculcates; and because they provide great moral training and development." Guilford should take her place among the other colleges of North Carolina and Virginia in putting across this forward step. FRENCH STUDENTS EXJOY FRENCH PARTY Miss Roberts, Professor of French, entertained the members of her class jn advanced French with a French party Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 8, from four to five-thirty.

I ate and ate till there was dearth, And greatly did increase my girth; I became so very ill, The doctor came with healing pill; I soon got well, but had a chill When he presented me his bill Which gave no thought of mirth. * # Verne would be a beautiful name for the new spring month proposed. Also a great help to the poetically inclined. Thus the lovesick rhymer could warble: Love, dost remember the month of Verne, When on my tongue love words did burn, Thou wouldst not passion's offer ing spurn; Why dost thy brow with frowns grow stern? Thy wonderous gaze upon me turn. For but one glance from thee I yearn, That from it I my fate may learn, My heart within my breast doth churn, I am sure I show my great concern. ij. M.
