PARAGRAPHICS
Nobody read the last issue of the
(Jni.KoKi)iAN and we are very sorry.
Extra copies of this disgusting
edition will be mailed anywhere in
the U. S. for sc, which covers cost
of printing, wrapping, and postage.
And now somebody has shown
how above-board they are by writ
ing anonymous letters, offering sug
gestions about the running of the
college. Advice is usually wel
comed by the wise but when the ad
viser is ashamed of his advice why
should it he recognied?
We contend that the design on
the ring should not be changed. It
is so distinctive, original, and beau
tiful ; only Elon and Salem have
the same design. Then. too. so
many of the incoming freshmen
every year admire the rings and
the present senior class is just
tickled pink with both the looks
and quality.
The present system of not post
ing cuts or notifying the student
of an absence credited against him
is an injustice when there is the lia
bility of a mistake on the part of
the administration. The student
knows nothing of the cut until it
is too late to prove that he was pres
ent. It was suggested that a list of
those getting cuts during the week
be posted every Saturday.
We have greatly appreciated the
co-operation of the students in men
tioning the GUILFORDIAN when on a
purchasing campaign in Greens
boro. Don't forget that if it were
not for the backing of these mer
chants oi' Greensboro we would not
be able to put out a Yellow Fever
Edition or even one that mentioned
student government or literary fra
ternities. Head the GUILFORDIAN
and Quaker ads and trade with our
backers. If you have to purchase
somewhere else, tell the merchant
that he should advertise in the
GriLFORDIAN.
Vandalism?
We hardly know whether to call
the recent imitation warfare with
hags of water and garbage cans
vandalism or just an out hurst, or
bust, or restrained energy.
The epidemic of rolling, roaring
and hanging trash cans tumbling
down stairways seems to be spas
modic and in vogue at infrequent
intervals. The same can be said of
the water-throwing.
The only evil, as we see it. is in
the destruction of property. If
college men still enjoy a siege of
horseplay as a form of divertisse
ment and it hurts no property then
there seems to be no harm entailed.
It' they want to cover the ground
in front of the dormitories with
paper bags, aquatic contents, and
clean up the mess, then settle down
to sanity, what is the harm ! Energy
lias to he liberated, so if no other
way can be found to expend it, just
turn hack about ten years and
throw bags of water and then come
hack to the present and clean up
the mess you have made in the
nursery.
When a hunch of men get to
gether with no outlet for energy
except the pursuit of a good time
they always have need for long
ears. Take for example a Shriners'
convention.
Very few of the participants of
the recent atrocities would inten
tionally destroy property. Their
aim is to make a big noise and have
a large time. The problem, then,
seems to be in the direction of en
ergy. We suggest a better athletic
system and occasional study.
Hut think what you are doing be
fore you do it, and try to save the
furniture and buildings.
The campus has been greatly
beautified by the erection of iron
light poles to replace the old
gnarled posts along the walks. A
white way is being constructed in
front of Founders as the gift of the
senior class. Slowly the campus
is coming into the beauty that has
always been here—but marred by
thoughtless supervision and occa
sional neglect. At the present rate
of improvement we will have the
most beautiful campus in the state.
But perhaps if the grass was mown
it would look even better.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Supposin' fish don't bit at first
What are you goin' to do?
Throw down your pole, and chuck your
bait
And say your fishin's through?
You bet you ain't —you're goin' to fish,
'X fish, 'n fish, 'u wait
Until you ketch a basketful.
'X used.up all your bait.
Suppose success don't come at first —
What arc you goin' to do?
Throw up the sponge 'n kick yourself
'X growl and fret and stew?
You bet you ain't —you're goiii' to fish,
You'll bait 'n bait ag'in,
Until success just grabs your hook
For grit is sure to win.

THE GUILFORDIAN
YOUNG PHYSICISTS ARE
CONSTRUCTING RADIOS
Students Are Intensely Interested in
Lectures and Laboratory
Experiments
The Physics I class has been spend
ing their time in the past month upon
tin- study of radio. The class voted
to pay one dollar each and purchase
the necessary parts for three one-tube
radio sets, which will be donated to
tlie laboratory. The college also
bought materials for three. These sets
are being assembled during the labora
tory periods. The class is divided into
six groups each under the leadership
of an "expert" who directs the assem
bling and planning of the sets.
The class periods are used for lec
tures upon the various instruments
used in the set. Most of these lectures
are accompanied by demonstrations of
the workings of the instruments under
discussion. For instance, two days
were taken on the subject of induction
and the place of induction coils in a
receiving set circuit.
Professor Cole demonstrated the ef
fect of an induced current upon an open
core transformer and a primary coil.
Then lie demonstrated the added effect
upon a galvanometer of the placing of
an iron core inside the coil.
Another period was spent upon
vacuum tubes, their construction and
operation. This proved to be very in
teresting as the forerunners of the mod
ern three-element tube were explained
and diagrams of these were drawn on
I In* blackboard.
The groups are doing intensive study
of radios and the courses are quite to
their liking in that they are learning
just how a radio is put together and
the whys of the construction.
At present there are three sets
finished due to the ambitious desire of
the various boys in the groups. They
have worked faithfully at night to com
plete the sets and as soon as they were
finished they were tested out. The
first set. •assembled by Scott Parker
and his group, picked up Jacksonville,
Florida, and Batavia, Illinois, fifteen
minutes after the last joint was sol
dered. The second set was constructed
by Justice Strickland, and the third
by George Yelverton and Stanley
Moore. So far they have picked up
Florida, South Carolina, Illinois, New
York, North Carolina, and Pennsyl
vania.
The class as a whole is intensely in
terested in the innovation to finish up
their year's work in physics.
The assistant instructors in the radio
work are Scott Parker, Pat Stuart,
Howard Trivette, Orlin Xewlin, and
Turner Moon. The class intends to
conduct a few experiments along the
line of aerials regarding their lengths
and positions in order to obtain the
best results.
QUAKERS WIN ONE OUT OF
FOUR GAMES IN WEEK TRIP
(Continued from Page One)
The game with Roanoke was rained
out and the Quantico Marines were next
encountered. They had played 15 games
and lost only one. These games were
played with some of the best college
teams in the country. But Guilford
opened up with a powerful offensive
and slammed out a victory over this
i team.
The Quakers scored four runs in the
first inning 011 three bases 011 balls,
one two-base hit and an error. In the
liftli inning liailes, star moundsniau of
the Marines, was driven from the
mound and the Marines used two others
during the game.
*" Rabb was 011 the mound for Guil
ford and he breezed them by in fine
1 style until the fifth inning when Captain
Freeny hit a terrific home run with
two men 011 bases. Itabb pitched good
ball throughout the, game. Ilis curve
ball was breaking nicely and his fast
ball had a hop 011 it like a graveyard
rabbit 011 a frosty night. However,
errors kept him in hot water a greater
part of the time and were largely re
sponsible for a greater part of the
runs scored against him. Taylor got
a beautiful three-base hit. while Ileu
drickson got a double and a single. The
score ended 11-10.
The next game was played with
Georgetown I'niversity by the score of
four to two. Coltrane pitched a tine
Same, allowing nine scattered hits and
striking out eleven batters. Two mis
judged fly balls went for home runs
in the first inning. One of the balls
should have been an easy out. while
the other should have been held to a
single.

Georgetown 4 9 0
Batteries: Coltrane and Neece;

The following day the William and
Mary game was rained out and the
Guilford team stayed until the next
day. Itabb pitched a good game for
Guilford, but errors lost the game. The
score was 7-." and should have been
."-2 in favor of Guilford. Guilford
breezed along without scoring until the
eighth inning when they batted around
and scored five runs. In this inning
Taylor, William and Mary pitcher, was
removed from the box and Wallace re
lieved him. In this inning hits by
Griffin, Marshall, l'arrish. llendriek
son. and Neece, coupled with a base
on balls and a liit batter accounted for
five runs. However, the early lead
piled up by William and Mary was too
much and could not be overcome.
