Member of North Carolina Collegiate Press Association. PARAGRAPHICS "Commit suicide and be uncon ventional." We suggest that the following can best be understood as sarcasm. Ours on Student Suicides In looking over our exchanges it would seem that editorials on the "Student Suicide Wave" are en tirely in vogue. The New York Evening Post and other papers have sent questionnaires to college editors and have given prizes for the best essays 011 the subject. So far not many North Carolina institutions have qualified in the class that drives a student to the point of self-inflicted death. The Quaker Quill, Earlham weekly, has gone to the trouble ot compiling a questionnaire in an ef fort to determine why the Indiana college has not received publicity with the aid of a suicide. So now we come to the question, Why has Guilford College failed to register a student suicide ? With so many people near starvation 011 dining room food and still others in serious nervous conditions due to over-burdening class work, we have been in daily anxiety. But with final exams 011 the horizon we still have hopes of attaining noto riety. We will close by saying that a student at Guilford who is uncon ventional enough to commit sui cide deserves a decent burial at our expense by showing a little origi nality. Weekly Comment In order not to disappoint any one, we will give our weekly com ment 011 literary societies. Four months ago we had peace ful organizations, worried only with perpetual debates and Friday night Glee Club concerts. Today it would be hard to adequately de scribe the varied interests and ac tivities of said organizations. Some body must have set off a bomb somewhere. Anyway, these dead organizations seem to have come to life and we are glad that they have. Persecution is said to have strengthened the early Society of Friends and perhaps there is a pos sible application at this time. DOAK'S QUAKER NINE LOSES A COUPLE OF TRACK MEET GAMES (Continued from Page One) It was a game in which good, bad, and indifferent baseball was exhibited. Guilford got 011 Fowler, EIOII ace in the second inning, and drove him from the mound. Thereafter they ham mered away steadily at Elon pitchers throughout the game. At the same time Elon was hitting everything Rabb and Whisenhunt were throwing to them. This coupled with six errors was too much. Guilford enjoyed a three run lead at three different stages of the game but Elon overcame this lead with seven runs in the eighth. About the only redeeming feature of the game was the terrific hitting of both clubs. Griffin, Quaker third sack er, hit two over the fence and also added a single. The home runs came in consecutive times at bat and were largely responsible for keeping Guil ford in the run. Lindley also hit a home run with one in the sixth inning. More than 60 per cent of the mechanical power used by American industry is applied through electric motors. But the electrifi # cation of the tasks performed by man power has hardly begun. Electric power not only saves dollars; it conserves human energy for better purposes and raises standards of You will find this mono- living. College men and women may well li r ecttic o equipment d it ta consider how electricity can lessen the bur a m^k°of°s f e?vice. ty and dens of industry and of farm and home life.

The success of this play is due large ly to Dr. H. H. Rusack as director and Turner Moon as stage manager and their untiring efforts in working with the cast and preparing the stage scen ery. The other members of the council are also to be especially commended for their ardent support during the past year in putting forth good productions. I have asked everyone I know what could possibly make a man write a poem like "The Deserted Village," and today an enterprising book agent en lightened me when saying: "Oliver Goldsmith was inspired to write 'The Deserted Village' while in Glasgow, Scotland, on a tag day.—Old Gold and Black. Stage Manager—"Yes, we did have a vacancy on the chorus, but you're too late." A Girl—"Too late!" Stage Manager—"Yeah, by about ten years."—Queen's Blue.
