Brotherly love and sisterly affection
again reign supreme over Guilford's
Quakerly campus after a week of un
rest, suspicion, scandal and disillusion
ment.
Wild tales of dates pulled in the
seclusion of East parlor during break
fast, anonymous rumors of tete-a-tetes
behind the boxwoods at Founders, as
sertions by members of the dean's
cabinet that the young men and women
have' heen unnecessarily holding hands
while playing three deep at the gym
socials, and many other choice bits of
scandal have electrified the atmosphere.
The Guilfordian immediately or
ganized a campaign against vice and
began an investigation in co-operation
with the Women's Student Govern
ment. Because of the close friendship
and harmony between the administra
tion and the contributing editor of the
paper, Joe Cox was placed in charge
of the investigation. It was also real
ized that the great amount of time he
spent at Founders might well be

Special Staff Correspondent for
The Yellow Fever
Founders Hall, March 33.—Mrs. B. M.
B. Andrews, dean of women at Found
ers Hall for the past year, announced
here today that she had reconsidered
her resignation, and that she would
probably return to the college again
next year.
The reason for this decision was the
fact that she considered her mision un
finished, and by remaining here another
year it was thought that her program
of liberality would be completed. It
is her aim to make Guilford one of the
most liberal of the small colleges in
the United States.
When interviewed last night, Mrs,
Andrews pointed out the many radical
changes that had been brought about
since her coming last fall. The most
notable of these are the granting of
store privileges to all girls, the intro
duction of a complete system of book

STUDENT AFFAIRS BOARD
SETTLES SOCIAL DISPUTE
Dispute Between Two Governing Bodies
Over Interpretation of Rules Is
Settled Without Bloodshed
DECISION RENDERED IN DETAIL
After sailing along smoothly and
harmlessly since its creation, the Stu
dent Affairs Board forced itself to the
front and showed Guilford College and
the surrounding vicinity that it did
have life and power, and that it would
use them if necessary.
The cause of this sudden awakening
was the dispute between the Men's Stu
dent Council and Mrs. Andrews, spokes
woman for the Women's Student Coun
cil, over a question of interpreting the
social rules.
The point of dispute has centered
mainly on the questions of who should
get permission for dates, what time the
seven o'clock bell should be rung, and
how much sugar it was proper to put
into the new teacups. Many and loud
had been the meetings, both joint and
separately, and it was earnestly desired
by many of the students that it might
be settled at once in order that peace

CROOKEDNESS CHARGED
The Girl's Student Council in a joint
meeting with Dean Andrews and Miss
Laura Worth last night refused to per
mit Coach Pat Crawford to report to
the New York Giants, who are now
training at Augusta, S. C.
The action of the Girls' Student
Council came as a complete surprise
to the political leaders on the campus.
By bribery, corrupt politics, lobbying,
"log-rolling," patronage and "gerry
mandering," the consent of the Student
Affairs Board had been obtained for
his early departure for training, and
no trouble had been anticipated from
the Girls' Student Council. When the
matter was brought up, however, con
siderable opposition developed. Miss

NOW ON ROAD TO RECOVERY
A very touching incident happened
011 the campus a few weeks ago, one that
plumbed the very depths of our emo
tion. Our esteemed Mr. Ray Parrish,
while lying on a bed of pain, was suf
fering the tortures of the damned,
caused by an attack of acute appendici
tis which was brought on by eating too
much ice cream in the dining room.
He was bearing his agony with manly
fortitude, but despite his heroic strug
gles, a low moan of pain escaped his
clenched teeth ever and anon. Our
angel of mercy heard of Mr. Parrisli's

After a brilliant career on the

most treasured possession, the foot
ball captaincy, (which he won from
Walter Robertson last year in a
poker game) to Cranford Iloyle,
who has long been recognized on
the campus as a religious leader,

It now becomes our grief-laden duty
to sj>eak of the almost unbearable nils
fortune which bows down the student
body of Guilford. Our revered math
teacher, the loving confidant and genial,
ever-friendly adviser of the boys, has
at last passed to his reward. Sad to
say, he died In the throes of insanity,
his death being caused by zealous labor
and strenuous overwork on behalf of
the boys. Rev. "Heathen" Mackie de
lievered a most touching eulogy on the
many admirable qualities of the de

bereaved lower classmen who were
extremely grateful for the A's which
had been so generously donated by our
dear teacher. As the body, calm and
serene In repose and with a smile of
ineffable peace resting upon his be
loved countenance, was being lowered
Into the grave, the soft strains of
ethereal music floated out from the
choir, composed of Espie Neece, Fran
ces Osborne, Ervin Lemons and Edwin
Rozell, who reverently sang "All God's
Chill un Got Chryslers." A fitting
monument has been erected to him in
front of King Hall, and we sincerely
trust that it will serve to keep his
benevolence and magnanimity green in
the memory of all those so fortunate
as to come into contact with him.

Followers of the well-nigh universal
sport of legging will be interested to
know that Wilmer Steele, foremost leg
ging authority on the campus, due to a
long, successful practice of the art, has
picked an all-Guilford legging team.
No one doubts Steele's ability along
this line, as he has played the game
faithfully and continuously on every
thing that looks like a faculty member,
from the president and business man
ager down to the colored cooks in the
kitchen. No form of legging has ever
been too low for him to adopt and
he knows all the tricks and finer points
of the game, so the Yellow Fever re
gards his selections as authoritative.
The following is Coach "Leggio's" se
lection and his reasons for said selec
tion :
"Due to the wealth of material, I
have selected two teams, though I think
