EDITORIAL COMMENT
Why do our college jitney drivers
and visitors persist in making a "No
Man's land'" out of the campus in
front of Cox Hall? Why should this
naturally beautiful part of the cam
pus become an ill-fated spot to be
churned and furroughed daily, until
at becomes a sea of mud in the
rainy season, and a gullied clod
strewn waste to bake in the sunshine.
Possibly to some few this domesti
cated area may be a reminder of
the stirring days when tanks and
shells wrought havoc with the land
scape, perhaps to others it has a
human appeal and a bit of sentiment
in its resemblance to the cow lot
back on the farm, but to the greater
part of those who pass through it
several times daily it has no appeal
other than as an eye sore and a dis
grace.
The only commendable thing about
the whole loblolly is that it has been
moved away from the door steps of
the dormitory, a couple of hundred
feet by a zigzag row of posts,
which add nothing to the beauty
of the campus, but seem to be
fairly effective in stopping all but
the most aggressive of the "Ford
sters." The latter take great de
light in going over the top.
This unpatrotic and thoughtless
practice has been going on for some
time, and to make matters worse,
seems to be enlarging its field of
operation to take in the entire cam
pus. Within the past three weeks
barricades of posts and wires have
had to be placed across all the main
walks in order that students can get
from one building to the other and
that our campus will not be utterly
ruined.
It is regretable and entirely un
necessary that the natural beauty
of the campus should have to be
spoiled by obstructions in order to
save the campus from ruin at the
hands of Guilford students (them
selves, the very group who should
be most careful to preserve it.
It is time that public sentijrient
asserted itself and placed a taboo on
the action of those persons who per
sist in destroying property belong
ing to the college community.
If the practice is stopped by those
who live in the college, all of it
will stop, for it is not likely that
a visitor \'ill have the nerve to
break a new trail across ground
that is not already crossed and re
crossed with innumerable tracks.
The means of getting a more di
rect and effective relation between
the student body and the Alumni and
old student's clubs is a question which
is worthy of some careful planning.
Both of these groups of Guilford
ians are for the same end,
which is a "Greater Guilford." And
yet it is quite probable, that because
the work is too widely separated, some
of the results which might be attained
through a closer co-operation of the
two forces are lost.
The trouble seems to be a lack of
student organizations which the Al
umni clubs are able to use in their
publicity work. There have been no
Student Activities which carry the
student body and the college to the
people of the state, except along
Athletic lines. And while Guilford
has just reasons to be proud of her
records in this line of activity there
are others which can become quite
as valuable a means of publicity.
The Men's Glee Club which is just
organizing has grown out of the feel
ing that such a club can, by affording
an additional medium for public work,
create an organization to be utilized
both by the student county clubs and
the Alumni clubs.
The Glee Club will be an important
ally to athletics in the work of plac
ing Guilford in the minds of high
school students, and can be carried
into communities to which the former
activities cannot extend.
Just how much the club will be
able to accomplish depends in great
measure upon the support which it is
given by Guilford clubs in surround
ing counties.
PEACE CONTEST
The Annual Peace Oratorical Con
test will be held April Bth and accord
ing 'to the plans of the committee
at the present time.
Four men are preparing to enter
the contest and it is expected that
more will be interested later. There
will be two prizes offered, of ten and
fifteen dollars each.
This contest will be a preliminary
for the State Contest to be held at
Burlington sometime in April. The
winners of the preliminary contests
held in the different colleges will
speak at this time. Cash prizes of
fifty dollars and twenty-five dol
lars will be awarded to the men re
ceiving first and second honors re
spectively.

GUILFORD 37 LYNCHBI KG
ELKS CLUB 38.
Guilford closed the 1922 basket ball
season Saturday night when they met
the Elks Club of Lynchburg and were
defeated by the close score of 37-38.
The Crimson and Gray Team clearly
showed the strain of the five consec
utive games which had been played
during the week. The dash and pep
which were prominent in the early
part of the week seemed to have disap
peared. Until the second half they
were hardly in the game at all. How
ever in this period they showed one
of the greatest "come backs" of the
season.
The first half was a complete walk
away for the Elks. By fast floor
work and splendid shooting they ran
up a total of 24 points to Guilford's
8. But in the second half the situa
tion 'was somewhat reversed. The
Quakers began to get warmed up and
soon they had cut down the long lead
which had been piled up against them
in the first half, and only missed win
ning the game by two points.
J. G. Frazier was responsible for
17 of his team's points. He scored
more than any other man on the
floor. Witt of Lynchburg was a close
second with 16 points to his credit.
J. W. Frazier who went in for Lind
ley in the second half played a splen
did game getting four field goals in
this period. Mackie also shot four
field goals but was very erratic
in shooting. Johnson of Lynchburg
played a great game, scoring 12
points.
