EDITORIAL COMMENT
Guilford students are probably 110
less capable and willing to assume
places of leadership in the life and
activities of the college community
than students found in any other of
the hundreds of American colleges.
,Yet the problem of finding students
who are willing to take the places of
leadership in Guilford Student Ac
tivities is no small one. We say wil
ling to take the responsibilities of
leadership, purposely, rather than
capable of taking them. And this
is the amazing part of the whole
thing, considering the wealth of op
portunity afforded to gather priceless
experience and training which, if
neglected now, may never be regained
or if so, only at an unnecessary
waste of time and by many costly
blunders.
The individual's chances for lead
ership at Guilford are much greater
than they are at many other institu
tions having larger student bodies.
He is not lost in the mass; any
genuine effort and willingness to work
is sure to be recognized. Guilford
abounds in student organizations
which have by no means been devel
oped according to the possibilities
which they contain, simply because
nostudents have come forward who
are willing to shoulder the responsi
bility, and expend the whole-souled
energy which is required of the suc
cessful leader in any organization.
New problems arise, new needs pre
sent themselves, to challenge the wide
awake college student. The chance
is open to do pioneer work in head
ing organizations the need for which
must be evident to any who is not so
shrouded in his own personal af
fairs that he cannot see the needs of
the community. If such a student
exists, for him the shroud is a fit
ting garment, for surely he is headed
for the obscurity of the tomb, the
walls of which are his own narrow
burrough.
Guilford has no Glee Club, no
College Orchestra or band. These
are glaring needs, not only of the
student body but of the student coun
ty clubs as well, where they would
prove an entertainment and advertis
ing medium of great value. These
are only two of the many needs which
can be unearthed. The call is for
leaders. It is the stndent's oppor
tunity, and where are we?
The places at the top are either left
unfilled or centralized upon the
shoulders of a bare dozen. Because
the work is so centralized upon a few
the positions are not filled as they
might be. Organizations cannot reach
the maximum of efficiency and many
leads are left unexplored entirely.
Upon looking down the foot of the
ladder at the other group from which
should come the support of the first,
part seem to be doing aparody on the
hippopotamus, At least their skins
and senses have thickened and become
immune to any stimulus and they are
content to 101 l and roll in the sloth
of indolence which is the loafer's
delight.
Another part seem to be making
slightly more disturbance but no
effort to reach the top, They are the
kickers and the complainers, the ones
who never get a square deal or an
opportunity. There is always a ring
at the top that is trying to monopolize
things and keep them out of what the
newcomer might do. They are the
people who would dejight in the
honor of an office, could it be handed
out to them on a silver platter without
any concomitant responsibility and
work.
To some it up in a word theirs
is the cry of the weakling.
Possibly the most common attitude
among the latter group is expressed
by this bit of current slang common
among students, "I can't put out far
charity"' meaning that there is no
particular credit given for the work
in question and therefore no reason
for undertaking it.
The pity of such an excuse lies in
the evident shortsightedness and lack
of vision on the part of the stu
dent making it. For a student de
liberately to rule out of his life everv
thing except the barest requirements
for class room work, is the utmost
folly even from the selfish viewpoint.
The chance for training in leader
ship is one of the big things which
outside activities can give best. It is
also the thing for which the world
pays most dearly. The student who
equips himself with the initiative to
start something and steels himself
with the stuff to carry it through,
has something to carry over into life
which the student whose experience
is bounded by his books can never
get.
Avoid being a human sponge, no
body needs one, nobody wants one,
nobody is going to pay a person to
stick around who has to be mashed
in order to make him produce some
thing. Sponges die too soon.
Be alive, cultivate the creative,
be able to take responsibility and
execute your task with accuracy and
judgment, get out of the humdrum
rut of the day's routine and do some
original, concentrated work along
some outside line. The amount of
interest which you take in the student
life of the college and community
and the place you fill, is apt to be
in direct proportion to the place you
will fill in your community in later
life. Get the habit of contributing
something worth while to your group,
make yourself worthy of your privi
leges and citizenship.

THE GrUILFORDIAN
GUILI-ORD MEETS WAKE FOREST
HERE SATURDAY NIGHT
Guilford will play Wake Forest
on the local floor, Saturday, Feb
ruary 25. If advance dope tells any
thing the game is apt to be the hardest
fought contest seen here this season.
With a week's training, after the
games with Charlotte and Davidson,
Wake Forest will find the Quakers
in tip top shape and backed by home
crowds fighting hard to even up the
defeat which the "Old Gold and Bl
ack" slipped over on them a couple
of weeks ago.
The new shift in the line up which
seemed to work so well against Dav
idson's Wildcats will probably be
given a chance to prove its value
again. Guilford is going into the
fight with eyes open and if Wake
Forest keeps up the pace which they
have been going so far, a classy ex
hibition of the game is going to be
staged. Heckman, the pillar of the
Baptist's defense, who held the fast
Quaker captain scoreless in the first
game this season is scheduled to have
his hands full to repeat his feat.
And besides with the team work dis
played in the Davidson game which
enabled four men to cage five apiece,
Guilford's scoring machine will not
be stopped by one man.
A comparison of the work of the
two teams so far this season marks
the contest Saturday as a neck and
neck race with a great deal of doubt
as to which side of the board the
extra points will fall. For instance
Trinity won from Guilford but was
defeated by Wake Forest while on
the other hand Wake Forest lost to
to Davidson and Guilford succeeded
in trimming the latter by a large
margin. The visitors probably have
a slight edge in such a comparison
through the first game of the series
which they stowed away by a small
lead.
QUAKERS BEAT WILDCATS
Continued from Page 1
eted again and again with deadly
accuracy.
The organization was simply more
than Davidson was able to cope with.
Concerted action on the part of every
man of the five enabled Guilford to
keep the ball in her possession most
of the time and the close guarding
of the entire team kept the Wildcats
from making many of their chances
good. In the last half Davidson lived
up to the name given her Athletes
and the game waxed rough, but the
Quakers, by fast floor work, were
able to elude the five Wildcats and
to keep them from becoming danger
ous at any time during the game.
There was no outstanding individ
ual star in the game for Guilford.
This speaks far more for the team
when it is realized that the 21 field
goals made by the Quakers were dis
tributed practically equally among
four men, J. G. Frazier led the total
number of points with 13. His floor
work was probably the best in the
game.
J. W. Frazier led in field goals,
having six to his credit, Lindley and
Newlin each had five. Although Mac
kie failed to figure in the scoring
he was right in the game and his
work was indirectly responsible for
many of the goals, Lindley was taken
out of the game with a sprained ankle
in the last five minutes of play. Not
however before he was able to get
in some valuable work. Ferrell, a
new man, was substituted and played
a good game for an initial start in
the sport.
Manze played the best game for
Davidson, He was all over the floor
and fairly accurate in shooting, Or
mond led his team in shooting arid
played an allround good game.
The line up and summary follows.
