EDITORIAL COMMENT
With a smalt amount of man power
and a seating arrangement in the
gymnasium which makes organization
difficult. Guilford students are con
fronted with two serious obstacles in
the way of making their cheering
all that it should be.
On the other hond it is often where
the student body is smallest that the
college spirit is most intense. Only
jn the small organization is that per
sonal relation possible which binds
the whole group together in a fra
ternal spirit that cannot be obtained
in the large institution. It is upon
this spirit that Guilford depends for
its support.
Reports come to the Guilfordian
from autheentic sourcees that the sup
port accorded Guilford teams in ac
tion by the student body is of a more
consistent and effective nature than
is found in many larger institutions
whose possibilities for this kind of
work are much greater. This of
course is due to whole-hearted en
thusiasm on the part of most of the
students.
But there seem to be still a few
residents in our community who have
not yet realized their full rights of
citizenship wherein they have the pri
velege of lending their voices in en
thusiastic cooperation for the good of
the whole. Could these laggards
once be awakeened to the possibili
ties which whole souled participa
tion in any cause offers in opening
the windows of the soul for a gen
eral airing out of the musty recesses,
where dissatisfaction, personal griev
ances and petty troubles rankle, with
out doubt this group would be
changed from its present status as a
liability to an asset to the college
group.
There can be no better place to
"let the sunlight in." and exchange
that soured, cankerous, pent up vol
ume of misdirected energy for a
purifying enlivening dose of college
spirit, than in a good stiff work out
with the "Booster Club." The value
of this organization to the team bat
tling on the floor is recognized and
admitted by every one. It is the
other side—the stand point of the
bleachers that we would emphasize
here.
President Thomas of Pennsylvania
State college has expressed the idea
when he said. "It is all a mistake to
think that the men in the bleachers
get no benefit: they receive incal
c-ulable benefit in the spirit which
surges through them in support of
the team —the spirit of determina
tion and irresistable attack. Ameri
can youth is not so dull as to fail
to carry over the spirit into the great
fight of life." The last statement is
the one which should sink deeply
into the minds of every forward look-'
ing student. The student who goes
through college without fanning the
flame of college spirit in his heart
into a blaze which will keep a warm
spot for his alma mater through the
succeeding years when he comes less
directly under its influence, and the
student who fails to fling himself
into activities which offer chances of
grounding the lesson of cooperation
and the ability to summons every
ounce of energy from the forces
which are so apt to be left dormant
and undeveloped has issued one of
the big human advantages which the
college offers.
Nor is the opportunity restrict
ed to the students alone. In one
of the recent games played on
the local floor a small group of
Alumni seemed to be getting a new
supply of the pep which they had
during their college days, and
from the expressions on their
faces the vigor with which they en
tered into the old yells, and their
whole-hearted attempts to learn the
new ones added since their days, the
experience was thoroughly enjoyable.
Possibly more of \this work
could be managed jn Hhe county
clubs of Alumni and old students
with worthwhile results. The Guil
fordian will see that the yell leaders
supply the new songs and yells to all
clubs who want them.

mad desire for money. As an ad

Finally, in a direct play 011 the Ford
proposal, they stated that Ford was
offering to the U. S. Government five
million dollars for a twenty five mill
ion dollar value, and that through
his great influence with the officials
he hoped to get a strangle hold on
the unsuspecting farmers of the
South.

gued from the negative point of view.
Knight contended that any move to
ward universal marriage and divorce
