We trust that our friends, D.
Riley, Weir, and Finch, enjoyed
the game Saturday.
Grott Iloyle says that even Weir
ought to have caught on when the
same play was called eight consecu
tive times.
It is reported that the man who
mentioned moral victory number
four at the close of the Catawa
game is recovering as best as could
be expected.

These Poor Rats
We want to express our sympa
thy for the Freshmen; not the ones
who get into some devilment and
are hauled into rat court for it, but
those poor individuals who may be
classed under one or more of the
following:
1. The rat who comes from a
large town and condescends to be
a part of the college community,
owning at least 51 per cent stock in
the college.
2. The rat who refuses to take
his licks when he deserves them but
takes an active part the following
year in demonstrating the "proper
angle."
•'}. The rat who has written a lit
tle before entering college and ex
pects to become editor-in-chief of
the GI'ILFORDIAN without going to
the trouble of first being a reporter.
4. The rat who never tries to get
into any student activity and
spends all his time sleeping or
smoking and talking at the store or
in his room.
5. The rat who wants to impress
his rodent brothers with his sophis
tication by wishing lie was "out of
this damn place," or was "at a real
school where there were fraterni
ties." (Little does he realize how
we wish he could realize his
dreams.)
We sympathize with them be
cause all of us who have gone be
fore have had one of the above
faults to some degree. We have
even greater sympathy for them if
the fault is not removed. Sane
hazing has many good points that
fond mothers and rats don't appre
ciate. As for us, we would be bet
ter off if we had gotten quite a few
more licks. It is a senior's privi
lege to own the college, and they
don't want any competition from
rats.
How About a "Clean-Up" Day?
How ahont a "Clean-Up Day?"
Several years ago it was the cus
tom to give a day to the cleaning
of the campus in the fall. All the
student body secured rakes and
other implements for the removal
of leaves and trash and secured a
partner of the opposite sex, if pos
sible, and then went to work.
No! Don't gather the impres
sion that this is a clever ruse for
more social privileges. It is not.
We have enough now, so there is
nothing left to gripe about.
The campus at present is in a
rather unkempt condition due
largely to the fact that ditches are
being dug and other construction
work necessitates the piling of
trash all over the college green. Hut
in a few weeks this will he a thing
of the past and the leaves will be
gin to fall. After said leaves have
become somewhat settled, a crew of
four or five hoys will rake a part
of the campus for 25 cents an hour,
leaving the leaves in piles where
the wind can again scatter them
over the campus. For three years
we have watched this take place.
After about the third or fourth
piling, the leaves will eventually
eitlier become pulverized from use
or will be hauled off.
Why not save the wear and tear
on the leaves and the many two
bits an hour and do all the work in
one day'!
We had a part holiday to see
Lind.v land, so why not even up
classes some Thursday or even Sat
urday, (preferably Thursday) ?
The whole thing could be worked
out to interest the student body,
improve the campus, and tit the
same time save a lot of money.
Will some reader, if any, please
bring these things to the attention
of the proper authorities.
COLLEGE MARSHALS ARE
ELECTED FOR THE YEAR
(Continued from Page One)
The other marshals who are elected
to serve with Mr. Hoyle are students
that stand high in scholarship and per
sonal esteem among their fellow-stu
dents. In speaking of the group in a
general way it is thought that a more
efficient group could not have been se
lected to serve the college on all occa
sions.

THE GUILFORDIAN
OPEN FORUM
THE MODEL STUDENT
M,y idea of an all-around student is
one who does liis l>est in every phase of
college life.
He is the student who does something
approaching his l>est in his text-books,
and who keeps up with the social, scien
tific, and literary world. He is the
person who takes a leading part in all
the scholastic activities. He is the per
son who realizes that he is working
for himself, not for his professors or
anyone else.
He is the athlete who plays clean
sports for his college. He is the stu
dent who wears a smile and has a warm
heart for everyone he meets. He is
one who realizes that he is only human
on the same basis as others.
He is the student who holds the
church in respect and God in reverence;
the one who puts into his relations
with fellow-students and his own life
the practical teachings of Christ.
He is the student who has self-confi
dence. He is putting forward every
effort to achieve his own ambition.
He is the student in whose veins the
red blood of college spirit flows.
If each student would judge himself
by these fundamental points and act
accordingly, in my mind, we would
have a greater Guilford.

PROF. FURNAS GIVES
A DIALOGUE OF BOOKS
(Continued from Page One)
and World Almanac were discussing the
values of indices and condensed knowl
edge. Then the magazines piped up
and said that they were up to date
and interesting. Philosophy and Sci
ence, however, said that they would be
handed down through posterity while
the magazines would soon pass out of
existence. Then Prose and Poetry be
came heated over their various merits
and Biography and Novels joined the
discussion. Then among the clamor of
these tiny voices advertising their
wares was heard a louder voice boom
ing out. It was a Reserved Book. It's
chief merit, it seems, lay in the fact
that it had made a hit with the faculty
and the students were required to read
it, whereas, some of the other books
had not been opened in forty years.
Then some of the books became con
scious of the presence of Professor
Furnas and they asked him to carry an
appeal to the student body that they
read more books and discover for them
selves the rare joy of interested read-
