Its condition was perfectly apparent but the question is—Why was it put on the table? We might add, however, that the new door-closing rule for breakfast is working well and is u great success, i We heartily endorse it. Four victories, out of six college j games played, indicate something. Draw your own conclusions. It's j the American's privilege. The Quakers' total score, so far in the season, stands at 27 runs. Her opponents have 26 runs. And , this includes two games with one of the "Big Five." And the same line-up has hard ly been in any two consecutive games. A strong reserve makes competition keener. At this time last year, Guilford : was just about out of the cham pionship race. Every game now makes her prospects brighter. The schedule is nicely arranged bar ring an instance or two near the close when two hard fought games are slated for consecutive days. And nothing succeeds like suc cess! The college authorities would do well to consider buying a pair of rubber bottomed shoes for the chief waiter of the Founders din ing hall. When he becomes unbal anced great is the destruction thereof. The Guilford students have ( been called unappreciative. Now that nice straw walks have been laid across the campus they re fuse to tread upon them. The officers and charter mem bers of the mustache club seem j to be having difficulty trying to increase the membership of their j organization. Every member must be competent, and willing to grow j a mustache. The former probably explains the apparent indifference i and lack of interest. The trip to Asheville by the tennis team was not nugatory. The Elon net men were hopeless be- | fore our Tilden serves and drives. For the first few innings High I Point appeared somewhat osten- | tatious when they began to walk away with our "Big League" men. During the last five innings there was little noise from the High Point Grand Stand. WHAT'S THE MATTER ll is a deplorable situation when a ; college which has stood at the top in debating can't arouse enough interest to cause more than seven men to try out for the Intercollegiate debating leam. This was the situation when r; the tryouts were held for the inter r collegiate deb. ting team for this sea ' son; there were seven men to try out • and seven places to be filled. It was ■ ; not necessary for the judges to select lhe six best speakers. All they had to i ! do was to select the worst one. Even though the best debates pos ! sible may have been chosen, it stands to reason thai if more men could be persuaded to work for places on the 1 team, more interest would be shown ; aiil . stronger team would be the re : suit, either from harder work or better j material. We believe that it lies within the power of Guilford college to arouse more interest in her forensic contests. ] A small medal, which could be worn ! a 6 a watch fob, or some other such recognition and appreciation of the ! work done by each debater would be a source of inspiration. | Any one who IKS had any experi ence working up an inter-collegiate de bate knows that it is a great under taking, and any recognition is greatly appreciated. A chance to win some thing that we can actually see and feel —something th. t brings back pleasant memories years after finishing college at least creates the desire to try. At present honor is the only re cognition a debater gets for his hard work. If by chance he loses the debate the honor changes to criticism. Honor is a great thing, but every one won't and shouldn't work for honor at the expense of his studies, since debating is only recognized as an outside rctiv |it v.. Surely, enough time is spent on (every debate to allow some credit to j " aids graduation. Practicalv evcv col -1 lege that has made any showing in the | forensic field gives college credit for hating. If Guilford college is to ; !'old its forensic reputation it is necessarv that she take the same pro gressive step t ken hv the other sue | useful colleges. AT LAST! At last G'lford College has in stituted a new course in her cur riculum —a course in manners. The Guilfordian has felt the need of and has advocated such a meas ure for some time, and is indeed happy to find that its hopes are materializing. The question before the facu'ty committee, who were instrumen tal in securing such a course, is, will the students support them? As we have said before, those wbo object to good manners are the ones who usually inhale their soup, eat with a knife, 101 l on the table, ; tilt back in their chairs, vveild a fork as if pitching hay into a barn loft, satisfiedly wipe their mouth on their coat sleeves, guffaw loudly and long and actually make themselves repvffsive to those with whom they come in contact. Any person s?> shallow and superficial as to object to this I course will probably in ninety nine cases out of one hundred be unfit and undesirable as a student jat Guilford College. We hold that the step the fac j ulty has just taken to improve the culture and refinement of Guil ford College will be of more as ; sistance to the men and women ! who walk out into the world with | a diploma than any book knowl edge they may have received. We can't help but admire the | spunk of Archdale, who organized | a "Club club" to combat the other j clubs which exist on the campus, j We have come to the place where it is necessary to join some club or else have some kind of ! firearms handy. Several have had i nerve enough to join the "Club club." Others are following. THE GUILFORDIAN ALUMNI NOTES A recent letter from Mrs. E. C. | Menilenhall (Alice White 081 of Long Beach.

Hal Lassiter is announcing this morning a new real estate business for Greensboro. Mr. Lassiter is launch ing in the business for himself, with offices in the American Exchange Bank building. He will operate under his own name and not as a trading com pany. Buying and selling, a general real estate brokerage service is to be the policy of the business. Mr. Lassiter has been identified with real estate interests in Greensboro for the past seven years. For the first three of these he was with the Guil ford Insurance and Realty company. He went with A. K. Moore then in the organization of the A. K. Moore I Realty company; and besides handl ing much of the office end of this big real estate operating company, he has been in active charge of the office management of the Home Building and Loan association.
