THE GUILFORDIAN
VOL. XII.
GUILFORD STUDENTS MUST
PASS THEIR WORK IF THEY
STAY, DECISION OF FORUM
"Should Students at Guilford Col
lege be required to pass nine hours
of work in order to remain in College?"
w. s the question for discussion at the
open forum meeting last Wednesday
evening.
There was much interesting argu
ment pro and con. Some of the ques
tions which had been previously posted
as a stimulus for thought were: (1)
Is it fair to a freshman to require
him to pass nine out of twelve hours
of work before he has become adjust
ed to college life? (2) Will it lower
our standards and injure our college
if students .re not required to pass
nine hours of work? (3) Does it keep
students from working if they know
they can flunk and still remain here?
(4) Is it fair to dismiss a student be
cause he cannot pass his langauge?
The answers as decided by those pre
sent are as follows: (1) No; 12J
Yes; (3,1 Yes; (4) No.
The concensus of opinion was that
we do not want Guilford to be a home
for loafers or the mentally deficient,
and that with proper effort any student
ought to be able to pass at least nine
hous. The educational system of
America is not based on selective pro
cesses; the idea is to educate the mass
es of the people. However, when a
vote was taken on the main question
of discussion the result was an over
whelming majority for the affirmative.
MARIA G. SGATTERGOOD
A VISITOR AT GUILFORD
Maria C. Scattergood, who has been
duing reconstruction work in Europe
under the auspices of the Friends'
Service Committee, spoke in chapel
here Wednesday morning. May 5.
Two essentials of any good game
•are, justice, and team work. William
Penn entered into the g mes of the
Indians in Pennsylvania; the fact that
lie played fair with them made it
possible for him to ijve peaceably
among them. This principle of fair
play used by William Penn among the
Indians should be developed between
tile nations by te-rn work and justice
in international games.
After making an extensive western
tour, Miss Scattergood and Miss Wind
sor, her traveling campanion, visited
Guilford on their way back to Phila
delphia.
"WE SEE WHAT WE WANT
TO SEE" STATES HAWORTH
Professor Samuel Haworth took for
his chapel talk Tuesday morning,
"Thct we see what we want to see."
We can see ugly spots on the campus
if we try to see them, but we also can
see beauty if we so desire. We should
not try to see only that which is un
pleasant in order that we can criti
cize but try to see the pleasant.
"Blessed is the man that can look into
ugliness and see good."
If we constantly look on things for
the beauty there is in them we are
gradually transformed into their like
ness and if we see only their likeness,
and if we see only the bad we will
gradually be transformed into their
likeness, so it behooves each of us to
try to see only that which is good.
Mr. Haworth concluded by giving
a story of a lawyer that was trans
formed into the likeness of Christ by
meditating and studying a paintnig of
Christ, showing what the influence of
Christ has upon our lives.

uHRISTIAN HOME SERVICE
SOLVES RACIAL PROBLEM
Mary Winosor, a graduate of Ne
braska Central College and Earlham
College, and who is now working with
Ihe American Service Committee, spoke
in chapel Thursday morning on the
subject, "Home Service work".
"We get the most joy out of work,"
began the speaker, "when we have
something to do that will require our
all. The home service affords this
opportunity." Throughout this coun
try at the present time there is a great
demand for teachers for all grades of
the various schools, for the different
races of the land; this service com
mittee is trying to supply these needs.
In discussing the problem of indus
try Miss Wondson expressed the be
lief that there is a Christian solution
to apply the Golden Rule in this great
industrial problem. A few are giving
their lives at the present time in the
research work trying to find the real
of this imaginary solution. She also
mentioned the question confronting the
American people concerning criminals,
a problem for which no solution has
yet been formulated. "I believe," said
Miss Windsor, "that for this problem
there is a Christian solution also."
In discussing the abolition of race
prejudice, the necessity for connec
tions and the spirit of good-will was
shown. Realizing the Christ's exam
ple is perfect it necessitates the call
for courage and concentration.
"See the challenge," concluded Miss
Windsor, "in the vision and work to
ward it."
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C, ,MAY 12, 1926
Quaker Nine Wins Three Games
Ties One And Loses One During
A Triumphal Northern invasion
Quakers Defeat Roanoke,
Washington & Lee and
Bridgewater
TIE GEORGETOWN, 7 to 7
Quart tiro Gets Revenue by Trouncing
the Guilfordians in the Only
Defeat of Northern Trip
By Harvey Din kins
The Guilford college baseball team
elurned late Sunday night from a six
day trip into Virginia where it w s
successful in booking three victories
and one 13-inning tie. and came away
i loser to only one team, the United
Sta'.es Marines at Quantico, Va.
The first team against which the
Quakers tried their mettle in the Old
Dominion was the Ro noke college ag
gregation, at Salem, Va. They effec
tively defeated this team Tuesday after
noon by a score of 5-2. The following
day they met the Washington and Lee
nine which they defeated to a 9-4
: count. On Thursday afternoon the
Bridgewater (Dunk! rd college) pre
sented strong opposition to the Quak
-1 ers. The locals touched Lefty Leavel,
who was pitching for the Eagles, for
13 unlucky hits and converted the
same into the six necessary runs that
were needed to win. Poole pitched a
good game until the eighth when Smith
went to the mound for the remainder
of the contest.
The most unusual contest which the
Quakers encountered on the trip was
the i! sli wi.h the Hilltoppers at
Georgetown. Last year the Quakers
swooped down into the serene Wash
ng.on almosphe.e and amazed all the
(Capital fails by beating the Catholie
minions. This year it was a life and
de th struggle. The Quakers were
fighting to maintain the reputation
they had established last year and the
! Hilltoppers were expending the utmost
! strength to avenge the score that had
I caused them so much mortification last
year. June Kinerk in one of the Wash
i ington papers opened his story of the
! game i s follows: "The two big G's
Dt mid Southern college baseball, Guil
; ford college, of North Carolina, and
our local Georgetown nine met on the
j diamond at the Hilltop yesterday af
l ternoon and when the kindly shades of
J evening descended upon the field and
necessitated the calling of the game,
the two were locked in the death grip
of a pair of bull dogs each with 7 runs
I after 13 innings ol thrilling and excit-
I ing baseball." Kendall, who led the
Quakers in hitting on the trip, all but
won the game in the eleventh when he
smacked out his second triple and
scored on Terrell's pop fly that was
allowed to drop close in a left field.
However the Hilltoppers came back
aim Kyan, second o seman for the
ics ,assumed the hero role and
annexed his third hit of the day, a
homer, and equalizezd the score.
Hie Quakers met the Quantico ma
rines Saturday afternoon and were
halloed the worst dele t of the whole
season. These irate nephews of Lncle
Samuel, smarting under the shutout
that they met with in Cone park in
Greensboro, early in March, descended
upon their visitors with merciless de
sire for vengeance. The result was
an 18-4 vic.ory in their favor.

MOTHER'S DAY PROGRAM
IS CONDUGTED AT Y. M.
Ilarvey Dinkins conducted a Moth
er's Day program at Y. M. C. A. Thurs
day evening.
I'lie leader, in his opening talk re
counted the meaning and purpose of
Mother's Day which is recognized
I roughtout the nation as a holiday.
Mr. Dinkins also stressed the fact that
everyone is inestimably indebted to
nother for her influence and splendid
christian example which she has set
for her children. In conclusion the
speaker highly recommended that
every member of the Y. M. C. A. show
Irs appreciation of his mother, if by
no other way than writing her a letter.
A number look part in the meeting,

were present to contribute to the dis
cussion.
AN EPIDEMIC OP MEASLES
STARTS IN STUDENT DODY
Quite a scare has been thrown into
lite student body by an outbreak of
measles; about ten persons having de
velpoed the malady in the lastthree
days. The main cause for worry seems
to be that the time for graduation, and
incidentally exams, is drawing near.
The aiTlicted ones seem to be rather
generally scattered throughtout the
dormatories and some have fears and
hopes of a general plague about exam
ination time.
Seriously though, it brings more
forcibly to view the fact that we need
an infirmery. If a general epidemic
should break out. there would be 110
adequate facilities for taking care of
the sick living at too great a distance
to be taken home.
NINE GUILFORD DELEGATES
ATTEND "Y" CONFERENCE
HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY
The secopd annual Student Y. M.
C. A. Training Conference of North
Carolina was held at the University of
North Carolina Frid. y and Saturday,
May 7, ami 8. The conference con
vened in the New Methodist church.
Six institutions were represented;
Carolina with 10 delegates, N. C.
State 10, Guilford 9, Duke 8, Mount
Pleasant 7, and Davidson 2. The other
student Associations of the state were
not represented.
The cardinal purpose of the con
ference was to give tr. ining and in
structin to ihe newly elected officers
of College Associations, thus facilita
ting the work next year. Old officers
were present to sta te their experiences
and to make suggestions for the im
mediate future. The old and new pro
grams of work were carefully received
and discussed, thus making quite
clear all of the Y. work.
The Guilford delegation w. s as fol
lows: Raymond Thomas, Henry Tew,
Earle llenley, Glenn Boose, Tom Had
ley, Wilson F;rlow, Edwin Rozell,
Gurney Collins, and James Barbee.
These men feel that the Guilford Y.
is in a position to become a more effi
cient organization if means can be
provided for the better training of its
president, ;nd the other officers. Such
an opportunity is provided at Blue
Ridge this summer.
Paralleling this need is one equally
important: namely, a more adequate
financial basis for the Association.
This can be accomplished only through
the cooperation of students .nd facul
ty.
Near the close of the Conference,
Raymond Thomas was appointed 011 a
committee consisting of 11. D. Comer,
General Secretary of Carolina YJ,
Britt, State, Briggs, Duke and Stones,
Alt. Pleasant, to rename and dr. w up
a constitution for the conference.
At the closing session of the meeting
the student Y. M. C. A. officers train
ing conference passed a resolution unn
imously indorsing the action taken by
Duke university students who at a
mass meeting last week went on record
as opposing any movement tending to
hamper free speech of freedom in
te clung.
New officers elected were H. K.
Piatt, North Carolina State president,
who succeeds Enimett Underwood.
S.a.e university; Galen Elliott State
university, vice president; H. L.
Stoner, .Mount Pleasant Collegiate in
stitute, secretary, and Frazier Gleen,

QUAKER RESERVES DEFEAT
HIGH POINT COLLEGE TEAM
On May 6 the Guilford Reserves
defeated the High Point College se
cond team by the large and aproxi
mated score of 22-6. Four umpires
were worn out and five pitchers watch

feature of the game was the pitching
uf Worth Mackie who allowed the
ointers but seven scattered hits.
The first three innings of the game
had the earmarks of baseball but the
final cantos resembled a track meet.
The score w. s 3-1 at the first of the
third but the young Quakers began
connecting rather permisciously and
ifier batting around once, eight runs
had been scored. The Cuilfordiana
again ran rampant in the fifth inning

-scoring one run in both ihe sixth rnd
seventh innings and five in the eighth,
