EDITORIAL BOTH SIDES Who is Guilford College? We are; the students. If we cut the throat of the College, in the eyes of the public, then we are cutting our own throats. Good logic isn't it? Well, we haven't severed a jugular vein but there is a nasty gash on both sides (yes, men and women.) What is it? Well, students it's just this—No hedging. At nearly every pub lic gathering there are several men and women who persist in talking out loud (literally) or who take great pleasure, it seems, in starting a barrage of paper balls on somebody in another part of the room. There are some who even laugh or hiss when someone is perform ing. A concrete example you ask? Well, here goes. When Cecil Roberts, the noted English poet, was out here sometime ago, someone remarked that his lecture was rambling. But here is a statement which probably will show why his lecture was so disjointed. "I never spoke to such a discourteous audience. I couldn't do my best." The students and faculty at N.C.C.W. said that Mr. Robert's lecture over there was one of the best they had ever had— How can any man give his best here with such a disinterested audience? And last week at the voice recital, who could sing with such a shuffling and mumbling going on. That night we had as our guest a noted English woman. According to one of the facul ty members, who accompanied her to the recital, Miss Cramp was struck (down) with the conduct of the audi ence. "A whole shower of paper balls fell around us and on us and I was highly embarrassed." Fellow students, what do these vis itors tell about Guilford when they go to other colleges? Would you think it would be a very pleasant story? Mr. Roberts, the poet, told of his treatment at Guilford at a dinner in Greensboro and according to reports it was a screaming tale. What will this Eng lish lady tell when she visits other places? Fellow students, think! Do we want this kind of thing to continue? We have gashes on both sides, but these can be easily healed. However, if these cuts keep coming thejugular vein is liable to be severed. Then what! Our throats, yes, the throats of the college will be cut. Let's change our conduct at public performances. ♦ * * WHAT HO! 'Another idea! Perhaps if the author ities would allow the men to (if they desired) remain in Founders for a few minutes after the evening meal and con verse with the ladies there would not be such greed for conversation at public gatherings. We literally thirst for a few minutes to just stand around and talk. Yea! be friendly. We have made a slash at our throats perhaps this "Oil and wine" will help heal the gaping wound. Try it!! Why not? THE PERISCOPE By Beulah Allen Drake University will retain practic ally the same method of examinations in spite of various rumors that have been afloat. The only change made will be in Freshman subjects. An hour exem ination will be given at mid-term. This will not interfere with the regular term examinations." —Queens Blues. Senior light privileges have become a permanent institution at Randolph- Macon. Seniors are now permitted to use their lights until twelve o'clock, pro vided there are two people in the room. —The Salemite. The University of Ohio has a Chinese glee club under the direction of Ching Me Sun, a graduate of Shangtung.— Exchange. Statistics have been compiled at Mc- Gill University to show the causes of distraction in the library. The causes were: howling canines, day dreaming, 225; women entering or moving about, 96; talking neighbors, 87; the library clock, 24. —The Agnostic.

My wife felt one in my pocket once, and thought it was a mouse." Northwestern Purple Parrot. LOGIC We go to college to improve our facul ties. Our instructors are our faculties. Therefore, we go to college to im prove our instructors. — Selected. He—"My brain is my fortune." She—"Well, poverty is no disgrace." —Davidsonian. Date: "I will love you forever." Datelet: "Midnight's as late as I can stay up."— Exchange. "What would you give for a voice like mine?" "Chloroform." —The Agnostic. GUILFORD CAGERS SPLIT EVEN IN LAST FOUR GAMES OF THE SEASON (Continued from page one) time of the year by a score of 33 to 14. The first half started of as a fast con test but action slowed up a little as the Quakers gradually increased their early lead. The outcome of the game was never in doubt and never were the Lu therans in the lead. Brown for the mountaineers seemed to be the most consistent player. Moose and Miller were in good form. For Guilford Fer rell was the high scorer with seven field goals. His floor work was also of high order. The whole team played a good brand of ball. SALISBURY "Y" DEFEATED Guilford ended the basketball season by defeating the Salisbury Y.M.C.A. team 38-32 in a fast game. The game furnished a splendid ending for the sea son. It was fast and clean throughout. Ferrell and Frazier each played a good brand of basketball and each claimed six field goals. The floor work of R. Smith came up to his usual standard. Barrie's Peter Pan (Continued from page one) les, the quick smiles would have been lacking. Ernes Torrence, versatile vet eran, makes the vengeful Captain Hook fascinating. He is a double-eyed villain and a thorough rogue, but he is a gal lant gentleman, for all of that. The ob server regards him without rancor, and sees him, as he does the incorrigible Peter, as 'not wholly heroic* figure." THE GUILFORDIAN DAWNING Outside the stars are shining, Up in the heaven's own blue, And in their light I am pining To stroll once more with you. To-day the sun was blight, dear, In the broad sky above, To-day my heart was light, dear, Resting in your love. The nights have been so dreary, dark, The days have been so long, But after the night the call of the lark, And after the shadow, the song. After the shadows, the sunlight, And in the morning, the dew,. And in the garden of the heart, Love itself comes tripping through. Geneva Highfill, '26. grinTdumbell Anthony—Where's Cleopatra tonight? Maid—Oh, sir, she's at home with tonsilitis. Anthony—Another of those Greeks I suppose! Here's one we heard over in Greens boro a few days ago: John —"What do you say to a tramp in the park?" Tom—"l never speak to them." Sam—"So you're the circulation man ager of the team? What do you do?" Bob—"Why, give them the rubdown." '26—How much is 12 times 14? '27—(somewhat cagey)—l6B. Can't you do that? '26—Certainly in time, but fools mul tiply rapidly.— Middlebury Blue Ribbon. ''Do you hear that?" asked the fair maid, as there came to their ears the sound of a heavy step. "It's father. Fly, sweatheart, fly." "You mean flee," corrected the lover. "Just as you please—but this is no time for entomological distinctions." Country Gentleman. A cross-word puzzler who telephones a doctor for a seven-letter word meaning "wind-pipe" received the answer "tra chea"—also a bill for two dollars for professional services. Boston Transcript. Prof. Stillwell: "Tom, where is the Rock of Gibralter, and to whom does it belong? Tom (after meditation) : "It's in Newark, and it belongs to the Pruden tial Life Insurance Company. Lawyer—"Have you been married be fore? If so, to whom?" Movie Star—"Say, what is this—a memory test?" Prof: "I take great pleasure in giv ing you 60." Student: "Why not give me 90 and have a darned big time?" First Fresh: "Have you ever seen a mosquito weep?" Second Fresh: "No, but I have seen a moth bawl." "Adam was the first radio fan." "How's that?" "He gave a rib to make the first loud speaker." THE WAY OF A WOMAN Jones, a gloomy individual, decided to turn over a new leaf so he went home whistling, kissed his wife and the kids, then proceeded to shave and clean up for dinner. When the meal was over, he insisted on washing the dishes and sang lustily as his wife looked on with amazement. The job finished, he took off his kitchen apron and found his better half in tears. "Why, what's the matter, my dear?" he asked. "Oh! everything's gone wrong today," she said. "The clothes line broke and let the washing down in the dirt. The twins got into a fight at school, came home with black eyes. Mary fell down and tore her dress and to cap the clim ax here you come home drunk."— Ex. The smartest salesmen are women: even when they are doing their best to land a man they make him believe they are the buyers.
