C., as second class mail matter. Member of North Carolina Collegiate Press Association. Scripture Reading History has repeated itself. The old Guilford tradition of reading from the Holy Scripture and paus ing reverently for a few moments before the morning meal has been reinstated. The revival of this old custom revealed the true spiritual atmosphere that exists among Guil ford students, the greater number of whom come from homes in which the Bible is read every day. Quite naturally these individuals really enjoy the home-like atmosphere which is created by Scripture read ing. The responsibility for the four weeks' discontinuation of the sa cred tradition cannot he placed 011 any one person or group of persons. It would have been asking a little too much to expect any of the pres ent faculty members to volunteer their services; even though all of them would have been glad to do so. For many years this sacred task has fallen to the lot of Miss Sal lie, or Miss Louise, a privilege extend ed to them in respect to age. So long has this been their hallowed right that their sudden absence left a vacancy which it seems that 110 one could fill. After four weeks of discontinua tion, however, the student body and faculty with one accord realized that something very essential was being neglected, and after some persuasion Professor Tinsley agreed to take over this responsi bility and he is to be congratulated for his effective manner. Every one listens to his daily, terse selec tion. It was only a matter of "getting started" and the delayed beginning has resulted in no harm. "Hunger must be tasted before food can be appreciated." Forget that you were a hoy or girl yourself in the bygone days when you are tempted to sneer at the undergraduate's idiosyncra cies. Candy manufacturers announce further retrenchments. They will put all-day suckers on the eight hour basis. Whoa! ! A great hue and cry has been ap pearing in the different college publications bewailing the lack of pep and support on the part of the student bodies. Guilford no longer has to bemoan any such deficiency. Probably the most enthusiastic and organized yelling that has been heard at Guilford was witnessed at the Guilford-Catawba game Satur day afternoon. The absurd idea that freshmen should bear the brunt of the yelling has been cast aside. The result of the Saturday game proves that clean, wholesome rooting by a united student body is more effective than the average ob server may realize. But a word to the wise is suffi cient. When anything is "run in the ground" it is apt to become buried never to rise again. Any physical contest arouses emotions in the heart of the beholder, espe cially the exciting game of football. Veiling done while the contest is going on is natural and spontane ous and is unquestionably effective. But when a group is expected to sustain this fever pitch of enthusi asm for a whole week 011 the mem ory of what has happened and the imagination of what is going to happen there is danger of falling back into the same old pepless rut. Nonentities "O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as others see us! It wad frae inonie a blunder free us And foolish notion." The plowman Burns was not a college man. but the above compo sition might lead us to believe that he was thoroughly familiar with modern college life. Sv arms of high school seniors, man, of whom were leaders of then classes, are turned loose 011 college campuses each year, and strange to say many of them wil lingly exchange their individuality and personality for the privilege of being one of the crowd. They begin to follow the line of least re sistance and fail to recognize the danger signs of the channel along which they are drifting. Many young collegians who in high school had a goal which they were trying to reach and who worked to get the most out of their lessons and class work come to col lege and flippantly discard any such ambition. When for some reason it is nec essary for a professor to be a few minutes late, practically everyone listens to the few who cry "let's cut," never asking themselves what is to be gained by unthoughtful acts. It looks as though common sense would tell the majority that all classes that are missed must he made up sometime. A more disre spectful attitude and lack of breeding could not be exhibited than walking out of a class room when for some reason the professor has been detained. At the cry of "Awful food" it seems that the majority would get up and leave a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Is it any won der that the assertion has been made that the backbone of many college folk is nothing more than a mere string? , THE GUILFORDIAN | ! i OPEN FORUM { s SHOW SOME PEl'! "Mr. Pep" is a fine gentleman, but for several years his presence on our college campus was no more noticeable than flowers at the north pole. The student body lacked spirit and interest in our athletic teams. Guilford College lias had good teams and will continue to have. The fact that they fail to win games is not a sign of a poor team. The true fact is that the student body fail to supports the men who are fighting for "Old Guilford." The students think that just because it is a Quaker institution, all should be peaceful and quiet, and that our enthusiasm at athletic games should not exceed the speed of molasses flow ing up hill in January. Prom past observations it seems to me that a large majority of Guilford students think a basketball game or a baseball game is a place to stage a mummy exhibition. The students will attend the games and watch their team, the team which represents the college they attend, and see them knocked and cuffed around, and utter no sound. The mouths of the students are shut tight, in fact a little dynamite would be nec essary to break these jaws apart. However, not all of the students fall into the first class, but this group is 110 better than the first. Some of our true and loyal Guilfordians seem to think an athletic game a fine courting parlor. When the game is on in full blast we find these Romeos have their Juliets snuggled closely by their side, relating to her wonderful tales which he hopes will help promote the cause of matrimony. Little do these gentlemen realize that their words need to be directed toward that tired and down hearted team out on the field of battle. "What is the use of having any Pep? It doesn't do any good," that is how a Senior put it. Others remark that, "You can't get any-life or. enthusiasm in that crowd of students," and criti cize any attempt taken to liven your college campus. Is it any wonder after looking at these facts that we ever win a game? T admire the men who possess the spirit to go out there and play a game for their college, for your college, with out your support. The third week in October something struck Guilford campus. A great amount of enthusiasm arose and echoed through the great oaks. Students, have not we decided that Pep was necessary and that our Senior is wrong? We are rewarded for our Pep by n victory on Saturday over Catawba. Today we are rejoicing over the victory. Captain White and his team is a happy and con tented bunch. They realize the student body is back of them and also are glad that they won. How long can our team be happy and the students be rejoicing over a vic tory? The enthusiasm and pep shown by the student body as a whole is the answer to this question. Saturday's game is either "Life or Death." Life from the students and another victory, or 110 life and a down hearted find weary team plus a defeat. We can win Saturday. It is up to you students. I know you have the spirit to make our favorites win. Let's show it. WILMER L. STB RLE. Miss Campbell Undergoes Operation Miss Eva Campbell, head of the Biol ogy department, has been absent from her classes for a few days, as a result of a recent operation. She had her ton sils removed last Thursday and came back to Founders the same day. She is recovering nicely and expects to meet her classes in a day or two. The diner was overwrought and over worked. Also he was hungry. The waiter came up and said; "I've got deviled kidneys, pigs' feet and calves' brains." The diner replied: "What are you troubles to me? I came here to-eat."
