A Proposed Solution Last week when a member of the faculty was approached and asked to subscribe to the Quaker, he re plied that he did not care to sub scribe on the ground that the Quaker was a money-making af fair, that the staff set the price of the book beyond a reasonable fig ure, controlled its own elections, and more in a similar view. The same charges have been made against THE GUILFORDIAN at other times. It is not our primary point to take issue with the gentleman in question. We relate the incident merely because it shows the high regard our contemporaries have for the publications on the campus. There has been an attempt made to control and regulate TIIE GUIL FORDIAN through the literary socie ties, but it has proved a drawback and handicap to both organizations. We believe that our friend of the faculty has exaggerated the evil, but there is no doubt that part of it is true. On the other hand those who hold this view would do well to remember that business managers have to sign, and be per sonally responsible for, contracts running up as high as two or three thousand dollars, and while the profit, if there is any, goes in their pockets, any losses incurred also have to be borne by them person ally. It seems to us that as long as they have to assume the responsi bility of the latter they should reap the rewards of the former, if there be any reward. Under the present system it is practically impossible for popular selection of officers, and the staffs of the publications are practically forced to elect their own members. It is not the fault of the publica tion staffs; the system, or rather lack of system, under which they are forced to work is primarily re sponsible for the difficulties and bungresome methods used. The bevst way to remove these dif ficulties is to have a publication REGINALD S. MARSHALL Reggie is a three-letter man hailing from Germantown. When the football season was over, he came out for basket bill, and before the season was half over he established himself as a regu lar. His position was stationary guard, but this did not keep him from run ning up the points. Next season should find Marshall making a name for him self and his team. fee added to the regular matricula tion charges, and establish a pub lication board to direct the affairs, both financial and otherwise, of the college publications. Such a plan, if carried out, would provide a governing board which could in part determine the scope of the work to be done, and also act as a nominating board, suggesting two or more candidates for all offices, and then it would be feasible and practical for the student body to elect the officers from this list. Lack of space prevents a full, complete discussion of the publica tion fee at this time. If this plan could be adopted, however, the financial management of the col lege publications would be less hazardous. It would be possible for business managers to make out an accurate budget instead of their having to go by the present hit or miss method. Business managers could be voted a bonus by the publication board. This would eliminate the possibility of a publication losing money one year and the business manager "cleaning up" a handsome profit the next. The above suggestion implies an obligation on the part of the stu dent body and faculty concerning the financing of the publications, but if they wish a closer supervi sion they should be willing to aid in carrying out this forward move. nSjsaßjlii 'SSBXHB' THE GUILFORDIAN > "tW j®* liiiilf CHARLES S. COBLE Charlie, also known as "Big-hearted Coble," has been a regular for three sea sons. He can play well any position on the court, but he usually starts at forward. Charlie has another season with the Quakers, and he should be a valuable asset to the team. GUILFORD EXPERIMENTS WITH NEW CURRICULUM (■Continued from Page One) but in the majority it has failed. A third alternative used by colleges at the present time is the major and minor system; it has not exactly failed, but many believe it could be improved upon. President Binford and those working with him are convinced that none of the above systems warrant continued trial, so are introducing a new curriculum which they hope will combine many of the good points of the old system but contain very few of the faults. There are certain elementary subjects, such as English, Math and Languages, which may be considered as tools in master ing more advanced work. The new sys tem makes it possible to obtain these early in the college course, thus en | [ j I | WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. ! T Graduates! | Lot us serve you after gradua- j | tion.

In the sophomore year, besides his ma jor, he will take some related subject; in his junior year he will take three courses connected with the field in which he is most interested and in the senior year one elective. To explain the system in another way, at the be ginning of the course four-fifths of the student's work will be in the field of general knowledge, the amount of such work will be gradually decreased throughout the four-year course so that in the senior year only one-fifth of the work will be in this field. On the other hand the amount of work in connec tion with the major will gradually in crease. CRUTCHFIELD PLUMBING COMPANY GREENSBORO, N. C.
