A Proposed Publication Fee and Publication Board A Student Activity Board has been organized and is forming it self rapidly into a functioning body. Some such organization has been needed on the campus for a long time. Although this fact has been admitted by every campus leader, several persons connected with the college publications have become more and more aware of the difference in needs between publications and other campus ac tivities and organizations such as the literary societies. It has been suggested that the number on the Student Activity Board be pared down by uniting the representation of two or more like organizations. We smell a rat! Our suggestion is twofold: that a publication fee be added to the other regular matriculation charges, and that, a publications board be established as a subsidi ary, if necessary, to the Student Activity Board. A full discussion of the publica tion fee is impossible and imprac ticable here. However, if such plans were adopted, the finances of both college publications would be less hazardous. Business managers could more accurately make out a budget and could be given a bonus, thus eliminating the actuality that one year a paper loses money and the next year the business manager makes a rake-off. If the college and students wish to have closer supervision over the publication finances they should be willing to aid in realizing this move for ad vancement that has already been made in all the larger colleges and most of the smaller ones in the state. As for the formation of a pub lication union, it is clear that the work of our two journalistic at tempts will only be hampered if controlled in any way by a too large and uninformed body. A committee could be created tbat would wisely direct the affairs, both financial and otherwise, of the GUILFORDIAN and QUAKER. In conclusion we would like to state without much fear of contra diction that the GUILFORDIAN has in the past two years been at its best. Last spring this paper was given third place editorially among all college papers of the state. David son and N. C. C. W. beipg the only two colleges rated higher by the Greensboro Daily News. As for the paper as a whole, it was highly praised by the Winston-Salem Journal and received national rec ognition along with only a few other North Carolina college papers. This is merely to show that the paper has prospered without cen sorship by any higher authorities. What we are asking is that we be allowed to supervise ourselves by means of a publication board. i I | ALUMNI NEWS J 1910 Several weeks ago the Alumni editor asked Alice Dixon, a member of the class of 1910 and now a teacher in the Friends' Girls' School, Tokyo, Japan, to contribute a letter concerning her work to the Guilfordian. She very kindly consented to do so, and the following letter was received from her a few days ago: "Dear Guilford Friends: "In the far-away days when I was a student at Guilford I never dreamed of having the splendid opportunity which I do now have of sojourning awhile in the 'Land of Upside Down.' Though many Japanese customs are just opposite from ours, their hopes, fears and inspirations have much in common with our own. "Since I took only a few lessons in their difficult language, I can only share my thought life with those who have acquired my language, which must seem just as difficult to them. "Last year my contribution to myself, and indirectly to others, was to study language enough to get around without bothering someone else. This year it's a study of Japanese history, religion and life through the medium of Eng lish. Next year I hope to learn all I can about their art and music. Of course, I have all too little time for this as my chief work must be to help my Japanese friends all I can. "My opportunities for helping them come chiefly through my work in teach ing English composition, conversation, and reading, and Bible in Friends' Girls' School. I also teach one class in a Men's Night School, one in a Girls' Night School and a Bible class of uni versity girls who are majoring in Eng lish. All the groups with whom I work interest me immensely and I often feel I-should be very well content if I knew that I was contributing as much to the enrichment of their lives as they are to mine. "Every day I grow more sure that the world must work together as a whole to redeem our civilization. A glimpse into how other folks work at their problems is a great help to any of us, particularly when the other folks be long to a different nation. "The season of chrysanthemums and persimmons is just over. The marvel ous beauty of the former you all know about. The persimmons are just as won derful. They are of such varied shapes, sizes and flavors that they don't show much relationship to ours except that when they're green they're 'puckery.' "This past summer I rode along a mountain road on a motorcycle with Dr. Binford's brother and sister. There THE GUILFORDIAN we saw wee wild chrysanthemums. I wondered if all the many species of big beautiful ones were developed from these and if Japan had given that flower to the rest of the world. "By the time you get this it will be the New Year season. Already the game of battle-dore and shuttle-cock is being played in the streets everywhere. I shall see my first real celebration of the New Year. There was none last year because of the emperor's death. "Good wishes to you all. "ALICE DIXON, '10." 30 Koun Cho, Mita, Shiba, Tokyo, Japan, Dee. 18, 1927. 1911 Rufus Fitzgerald, 'll, is one of the administrative officers of the University of lowa. It is a part of his duty to raise two million dollars for the erec tion of the Memorial building for the university. He has already secured three-quarters of a million and has built two units of the building. 1926 Margaret Townsend, '26, was married to Ernest T. Moore, of New Bern, N. C., at 8 o'clock, December 29, in the Friends meeting house at 13th and Irv ing streets, Washington, D. C. The Friends' ceremony was used and Mur ray K. Kenworthy, pastor of the meet ing, officiated in the devotional portion of the service. Mr. and Mrs. Moore will live in Gainesville, Florida, where Mr. Moore holds a position at the University of Florida. Former Students President Binford recently received a letter, with check enclosed, from Miss Jessie Stockard, of Montreat, N. C., a student of Guilford in 1894. The fol lowing is a paragraph from this letter: "In grateful remembrance and appre ciation of benefits received from Guil ford College I enclose a small check asking that you use it on scholarship for some student. I should be glad that it be used for a student from the Sylvan School at Snow Camp, N. C., in memory of the dear, sainted Mrs. Georgia Reece." Christmas greetings addressed to President and Mrs. Binford from Major and Mrs. David 11. Cowles carried the following message: "To all our dear friends at Guilford in memory of happy days." Major Cowles was a student at the college in 1898, and Mrs. Cowles (Mar tha Geslain) in 1913. Miss Penelope Cobb, who has resided in Greensboro for a number of years, has gone to Washington, D. C., to ac cept the position of secretary to G. S. Ferguson, Jr., Federal Trade Commis sioner. Miss Cobb attended Guilford College from 1899 to 1901. Kenneth Neese was married to Miss Gertrude Dick on December 24, 1927. The present address of Mr. and Mrs. Neese is 4926 Forrest Drive Boulevard, St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Neese was a student at Guilford from 1923 to 1925. After leaving Guil ford he entered the medical school of the University of North Carolina. QUESTIONNAIRE SHOWS FAVORABLE OPINIONS (Continued from Page One) sermons, 36; clippings, 79; debating, 59; alumni notes, 101; poetry, 109; edito rials, 128; open forums, 130, and para grapliics, 93. Eighty-five of our college readers patronize our advertisers, and five do not. With the exception of two "noes" there was a unanimous approval of the "Yellow Fever Edition" of the paper, and a request for another such issue. Thirty people expressed a desire to be considered for contributors to the Guil l'ordian. As will be noticed, this questionnaire is reprinted in the Guilfordian this week, and the outside subscribers to the paper are asked to fill in the blanks, cut out the questionnaire, and return it to the Guilfordian office. The staff of the paper desires to make the pub lication really alive and forceful, and believes that this can best be done by obtaining the criticisms and sugges tions of its readers. H. S. TOURNAMENT HELD AT GUILFORD THIS PAST WEEK (Continued from Page One) Alamance teams met, the score being 11-13, respectively. In the last after noon game Sumner made a most decis ive victory over McLeansville with a score of 69-2. Dinner was served to the high school boys in the college dining hall, after which the two evening games were played: Stokesdale, with a score of 25, took the game from Rankin, 14. Mon ticello yielded to Gibsonville in a score of 10-43. Saturday afternoon, January 7, saw the second round of the tournament, with the losers of the day before play ing for the silver cup to be presented to the winner of the consolation group. Jamestown beat McLeansville and Ran kin defeated Monticello. In the eve ning the contest was continued with Stokesdale vs.* Summerfield, Pleasant Garden vs. Gibsonville, and Bessemer vs. Sumner. When the consolation series was con tinued Monday afternoon, Guilford eliminated Summerfield, 14-12; James town defeated Pleasant Garden, 34-30; Bessemer downed Rankin, 36-18. By night, excitement was running high when, in a hard fought game, Gibson ville eliminated Alamance by a score of 26-15, and Sumner put a stop to the winning streak of the fast Stokes dale five, 31-22. Wednesday evening the fast Sumner and Gibsonville teams met for the final clash; Bessemer and Guilford also play ing for the consolation trophy. Bes semer played some fine games and was eliminated from the championship race only by a few points. The team had previously eliminated Stokesdale from the consolation race by a score of 21-12 and had defeated Alamance by two points, 29-27. Consequently, the Guil ford High supporters had to see their team go down before the Bessemer attack with a score of 26-16. The Sumner team showed a fast-scor ing offense and a tight defense, when she pushed the Gibsonville team out of the race with a score of 33-19. The county champions exhibited a remark able brand of high school basketball. Their floor-work was good and their shooting was accurate. Gibsonville played a hard luck game. Time after time they tried for the basket only to see the ball roll around the rim and fall out without helping their end of the score. The champions managed to keep a little ahead of their opponents. At the end of the first half the score was 13-7. Sumner started the scoring with a foul goal and followed it with a pretty field goal. Gibsonville got a pretty shot from behind the foul line, and the score stood at 3-2 for two or three minutes. Soon Sumner took the lead, but was not allowed to rest a moment. A large number of fouls were made by both teams. Saunders did good work for Gibsonville. His goal-shoot ing was splendid and he was high scorer for his team with 12 points to his credit. After the championship game, Coach "Paf'Crawford announced the teams re- ceiving trophies, and a basketball tro phy was presented to Sumner as cham pions, and a silver cup to Gibsonville for second place. Bessemer received a silver cup and Guilford, the basketball with which the tournament had been played as winners of the first and sec ond place in the consolation games. The basketball trophy, and the two cups were given by the Phipps Hard ware Company. The awards were made by Mr. Phipps. GUILFORD LUMBER MFG.
