EDITORIAL COMMENT
After The Play Was Over
Often ail audience is judged by the rude things that
a few of its members do. Only last week when the Dev
eraux players appeared before a Guilford audience, we
were furnished an example of this. Because some in
the audience failed to appreciate correctly some parts
of the plav, the criticism was made, and not altogether
without cause, that we had a "finished product beforea
crude audience.
If that be true we are indeed sorry. We are sure, how
ever, that it is not wholly true. Being in that audience,
we know from actual observation that the majority of
that audience did appreciate properly what was pre
sented it. We also are aware that there were some in the
audience who did not conduct themselves as befits gen
tlemen.
We hope their behavior was due to thoughtlessness
and that those, who acted so rudely, will not let it hap
pen again.
It is rather hard to be misjudged by the actions of a
small part of the whole group. If anyone is able to, we
as college students should be able to appreciate good art
of any kind. Let us be a little more careful in the fu
ture about even thoughtlessly bringing the whole student
body under criticism as crude and unappreciative,

Defeated, Not Beaten.
This week-end our football team journeyed northward
hundreds of miles to meet an opponent above the Mason
Dixon Line.
Our boys carried with them the reputation of being
clean sportsmen, something of which we are very proud.
Football is a game of give and take and if a man is a
true, clean sport while indulging in this manly sport, he
Avill very likely be the right sort of man in after life.
We as a student body are proud of the men who rep
resent us in football. We admire their manly qualities
and their fighting spirit. Boys, we are behind you, no
matter which side has the larger score, for we know you
■were in there fighting for the crimson and grey.
You have met Havcrford and, although they won ac
cording to the score, we are sure that you did your part
con unci idably. After all, for another team to score more
does not necessarily mean that you are beaten. It is the
spirit in which defeat is taken that proves the mettle
of the defeated one. To fall before an opponent fight
ing to the end, means only physical defeat; but to give up,
when faced by defeat, means both physical and mental
defeat.
Although we would like to have seen our team bring
home the victory, we know that this is not always possi
ble. Of course, the victory would have helped us, but
let us use defeat as a spur to urge us on in our efforts
in the remaining games of the season. Let us remember
we were only defeated in this effort and not beaten.
Boys, stay in there and fight and remember we are
all behind you. Don't forget November 11.

THE MAGAZINE SHELF
by John Webb Cannon
Do you want to laugh or do you j
want to cry? Do you want to think
or don't you? In any case the
answer is Harpers. Or maybe you
want to travel. Perhaps it is a great
personalities you wish to meet. Il l
so, turn to Harpers.
Let us glance briefly at the Novem
ber number. Humor is the outstand
ing feature of the pariticular issue,
if there is any outstanding feature.
And such humor—not the kind that {
is placarded with the signs "Laugh !
Here," but that variety that's beneath
the surface, subtle, dry, chuckling |
fun. If you want a good sample of J
this turn towards the back of the I
book to the section marked "The |
Lion's Mouth." Here Flaccus leads
off with a nonsense story that re
minds one very much of the style of
Stephen Leacock, the English hum-!
orist. Following this in the same
section we find some rather pointed j
and pertinent criticism of men and |
methods, delightfully told in a mirth
ful way. Now after scanning this j
department just turn a few pages
farther to the Editor's Drawer where
you can actually read a Ford joke
that hasn't already been told to you I
a dozen times. And now before you '
leave this page be sure to read "His
Punishment."
Because this periodical has spec
ial sections for its humor don't get
the idea that the stories and articles,!
which form the major portion of the
contents, have none. In fact, prob-j
ably the most amusing piece in this'
whole collection is that one by the
Englishman, Sir Phillip Giltl >s, The
Adventures of a Lecture Tour," in i
in which incidentally he gives some |
rather pointed opinions of certain i
American institutions. The effect is
very laughable.
But laying aside all humor, which j
is only one phase of this magazine,
let us look at the personality pages
a second. First an opinion of the
ex-kaiser given by the translator of
liis memoirs as a monthly article,
and then the few pages in the back j
of the magazine which are devoted
to introducing the reader to the con
tributors of the current number, all
very interesting as personalities go.
There are two short stories in
Harper's this month, "His Sacred
Family"' and "Twilight of the God,"!
which treat of the same social prob- J
lems found in those two works of
contemporary literature, "Main'
Street"' by Sinclair Lewis and "Can-.
dida" by Bernard Shaw, respective
ly. It is rather interesting to com
pare the problems under entirely dif
ferent circumstances and the results I
as here wroked out.
Lastly Harper's holds for its read
ers two specially extra treats in its
November copy. A Russian folk
tale told in English very charmingly,
and a group of poems by Amv Low
ell-

This eliminates so much of the grind j
and hardship."
"Yes, in college dramatics, the try- i
out plan is the best." she said in ans- j
wer to a question about casting col-j
lege plays. "It is the fairest plan.
Quite often, though, the casting com
mittee has the cast made up and then j
have to rearrange it, but so often re- j
ally good material is found that is I
better. I found this true a number
of times during my experience as I
director of dramatics in various |
schools."
Ruth Reynolds spent the week-end,
at her home at Randleman.
