THE UNESTHETIG
Recently the attention of the public
has been called to the fact that col
lege girls have found it necessary to
acquire the cigarette habit in order
to keep up with the time and be
like men. Whether or not this
is a worthy ambition we do not care
to discuss her. • However, to say the
least, men students do not like the
idea, and in order to still be diff
erent appears that they are more and
more adopting the vogue of tobacco
chevring. The wearing of a cud in
the mouth is a plain inconvenience
to some who find it disagreeable to
swallow the juice from the weed and
who have not yet brought themselves
to the point of expecorating promis
cuously.
We do not wish to pose as reform--
ers—not even of the student world,
but the psychology oi habit has always
been an interesting study. The in
ability of the person who either eats
or smokes tobacco to refrain from
infringing upon the rights oi those who
do not like the weed, or to recognize,
indeed, that they have any rights, is
a notorious fact.
The unesthetic in the chewing habit
seems to be the uppermost objection
in the minds of many. They can
not bring themselves to the point of
adoring the picture of a middle aged
or older person who no longer finds
it necessary to keep the juices of the
weed on the inside of the mouth
instead of on the outside of the face.
Judging by observation on the campus
and from the comment we have heard
it is this and other features of the un
esthetic connected with the chewing
habit which seems to bring a feeling
of revulsion and dread to these who
see the younger male members of
their families adopting the habit with ■
such a fine spirit of abandon and |
utter disregard for the fact that in
probably ninety nine cases out of one
hundred they will never be able to
give it up.
PAUL AND ARNOLD
At midnight
A boy sat in a window
Listening to St. Paul preach.
Then—-
Asleep—
Down three stories he fell
And broke his neck.
But Paul,
Who had put him to sleep
Woke him back to life again.
At midnight
I sat all alone
Reading Matthew Arnold's Essays.
Then—
I fell-
Down upon the bed,
And lay -asleep.
Say Arnold,
You put me tc sleep,
Come ' >d wake me up again!

OPEN FORUM
There have been, until a very re
cent date, only two colleges in the
United States that train young men
for Y. M. C. A. work. Botli of
these are located in the North, one
being in Springfield, Massachusetts,
and the other in Chicago, Illinois.
Experience and statistics have
shown that the majority of graduates
of these schools are placed in "Y"
work in the North. This makes it
necessary for the South to supply
its association with the best avail
able material. It has occured to a
number of prominent Y. M. C. A.
men and men of International renown
that something should be done for
the Southern States.
It will be interesting to know that
during the ten year period between
1913 and 1923, the association re
cruited more than 12,000 secretaries,
and during the same time over 11,-
000 withdrew. The officers of the
association say it cost approximate
ly SIOO to secure a new secretary.
Therefore, during this same period
of time more than $1,200,000 was
spent and over $1,100,000 was lost on
secretaries. This means that we, as
contributors, pay that bill.
There appears to be only one reme
dy, (and this is the one these afore
mentioned "Y" men have suggested)
a strong efficient and permanent Y.
M. C. A. college to supply the as
sociation with trained men who are
capable of performing the "Y" work.
Dr. W. D. Weatherford, President
of the Blue Ridge Association, was
asked to become the president of the
college.
The college is, at the present time,
using class rooms in the Vanderbilt
School of Religion, Vanderbilt Uni
versity, Tenn. It has purchased
land for its campus in close proxi
mity to Vanderbilt University, that
is including Vanderbilt School of
Religion and Medicine, the George
Peabody college for teachers, the
.Searman A. Knapp School of Country
Life, anil the Scarritt college for
Christian Workers. This gives stud
ents at the Southern College of Y.
M. C. A. for that is the name of
the new organization, the advantage
of taking work in these in s titutions.
"Scarritt College, Vanderbilt School
of Religion, and Southern College
united,, bring 'together, the largest
single staff of teachers in religious
and social subjects to be formed at
any point in the South, and almost
as large a staff as can be found
in any single place in the country."
Sou hern college of Y. M. C. A.
offers three types of training for a
secretary. First, a general cultural
training. "Sixty per cent of its stud
ents are college graduates." Second,
a professional training. This in
cludes almost any special course
which anyone who likes this Work
would desire. Third, training in |
supervised practical experience "Every
graduate therefore, has been tried '
and proven he is graduated.'' In this
way the college is able to put "study
and experience side by side in train-
ing its men."
The college needs $1,000,000; $509.-
00 for a building and $500,000 for an
endowment. The General Education
Board assumes half of the respon
sibility and Doctor Weatherford and
his staff are raising the other half.
Mr. J. J. King came to Guilford some
time ago and "put the proposition"
to the local Y. M. C. A. cabinet.
This body of men was enthusiastic
over the matter and deemed it ad
visable to "do its bit." So, the
matter was closed with a SIOO sub
scription, to be paid in four annual
payments. The Y. M. C. A. here
being a branch of the Association
assumes its duty with the hope that
students of Guilford will realize what
a boon this will be to the South and
will help support the undertaking.
"John Harvard founded the first
college in America, immortalizing
himself in mighty Harvard and its
output." "Vanderbilt University is
the greatest monument left by Com
modore Vanderbilt/' Mr. John D.
Rockefeller founded the University of
Chicago and endowed die General
Education Board, thus establishing
for himself a living memorial.
THE GUILFORDIAN
We as college men can visualize
the good work accomplished in
character building by these and other
equally Worthy institutions. Southern
College "appeals to men and women
who desire to place their resources
where they will yield the largest
dividends in leadership."
What are we at Guilford College
and you sons of Guilford who have
left the institution going to do about
this matter? Are we going to help
some one else on their way to success
and as is being done, and has been
done, and back up the local "Y,"
or are we to pa-s it up?
Students, past and present 1 appeal
to you on behalf of the cabinet and
the Y. M. C. A. to help support this
worthy organization. It is being
weighed in the balance. We may
help it measure up and live or we
may put out influence and neglect
on the opposing side, and in doing
this let the South continue to pay
for men not benefiting the association.
Yes, we will help pay for it in effii
cient service.
Are there individualy among the
student body, men who partake of
what the "Y" makes possible and
fail to help hear its current expenses?
I should hate to think of Guilford
men as being in this class. True it
is, the local organization is not as
efficient as it might be Perhaps you,
Mr. Reader, have a suggestion. We
would be glad to have your sugges
tions and your financial support. The
more men who become financially
interested the less money will be re
quired per man.

PEOPLE WE ALL ADMIRE
The girl who gets HER letter
from the postoffice box and then leans
against YOUR box to read it!
The faculty member who holds a
nice little pink tea social with visi
tors and students in the room, when
you are trying to take a term examina
tion.
The person who parks his tin
at Founders Hall for some two or
three hours to the discomfiture of
every other person who goes that
way, regardless of the importance of
his business or the necessity of its
quick despatch.
The person who sits between you
and the aisle and when he leaves the
program also leaves his sea unfolded
so that you ram your shins against
them, much to the detriment of the
growth of a christian list of ejacula
tions!
The person who thinks he has
something more important to tell you
than does the person who is speaking
on the stage at the time.
The big red-blooded (?) man who
shoves all the windows open because
he thinks may be he can stand it and
you'll have to beg him to close 'em.
