Member of North Carolina Collegiate Press Association EDITORIAL Do Sophomores Have Divine Rights If an argument is desired just mention HAZING or E\ OLI I ION and it's already started. So when you have read this, just select the side of the question that you prefer and reply through next week s Guilfordian. Every year there are some new students who need to have some direction while they are adjusting themselves to college life and cus toms. Out of this has grown the idea that the sophmores should have full right over the freshmen throughtout the first year. During the last few days, when apparently the new students are get ting down to hard work, there has been an undue amount of inter ference on the part of the old stu dents. But what is even harder to understand, it seems that those students who are trying the hardes' to behave themselves are being both ered the most. No one can do his best work when he is afraid to go to bed at night lest he be turned over, or when he is afraid to leave bis room lest he will return and find everything piled in the middle of the floor. Such treatment is unjust and un fair, still it is being practiced almos every day here on the campus. Just what is college training and college life supposed to do for a fellow. PROF. L, L, WHITE GOES ON POSSUM HUNT ; GETS FIVE Prof. L. L. White member of Guilford faculty succumbed to the desire to go 'possum hunting a few nights ago and it is his own con fession that he did not return to his family until three o'clock the next mor ing. But it was not with a note of shame that the head of the Educa tion department made this confes sion for he added in a triumphant voice "WE got five." As to whether Mr. White is going to entertain his faculty advisees a gain, and serve them the viands of this night's work is a matter of speculation which the reporter of this paper has been unable to con firm so far. Mr. White failed to state also as to what stand the game preserve commission of North Carolina was going to take on this wholesale slaughter of this favorite pnimal. OPEN FORUM A Black Eye STUDENTS ATTENTION! It is not intended that this column should be a critic's report every week However, we can't refrain from making it of that nature, so long as a group of human individuals living in Cox Hall, and passing under the name of gentlemen, con tinue to practice the iude and unbecoming conduct which was de monstrated so publicly last week at a tennis tournament between Guilford and Wake Forest. During the game, which was played on the courts just back of Cox Hall, a group of these pre tended college students kept up a continuous disturbance by throw ing water from the windows of the dormitory. Not only were the fresh men driven away from the game, but even the girls were compelled to stay away from one of the courts. Not being satisfied with this, some one student, or more than one, cas a reflection on his college by throw ing bags of water on the edge of the court and interfering with the game. One of our visitors from Wake Forest, who was actually struck by a bag of water, appealed to his opponant, who tried unsuc cessfully to stop the attack. It's no use to discuss the attitude that the men from Wake Forest and their friends have toward Guil ford since their visit here. Our teams have been receiving manly treatment and consideration from all the colleges they have visited, but the question that confronts us now is whether or not our visitors can say the same. We can safely say that such con duct is not characteristic of the stu -1 dent body as a whole, for only a small group of boys who are either lacking in self respect or mentality will do work of that nature. The majority of the students would not consider such things, but in the minds of those away from the college, the black mark is applied to the student body as a whole. If the men of Guilford do not get busy and change their standards of conduct, we must stop patting ourselves on the back and boasting of our fine campus spirit and ex cellent student body. H. L.

Moreover no make-up e x£" lis will be given. In return f or depriving the students of these p r iv'i' e ges, a bonus system has been i nstl tuted which allows additional cr f or perfect attendance. Syracuse: Syracuse has followed th e e xarn pie of many other collets i' l abolj. shing "horse play" or tough hazin? A regulation to that eff et; t was re cently put across by Senior Council.
