Cheered by Students and Faculty
Alike; Community is Pleased.
A regular Greeusboro-Guill'oid Col
lege litis line is projected as a (level p
inent of tlie next two weeks. Present
Indications are Iliat within thai time
the obstacles which have so far bio lied
the achievement of that long .s tight
goal will to a great extent have van
ished.
According to an unofficial statement
recently received front the local office
of the Duke Power company, the exist
ing Duke bus line to Mulr's Chapel
will be cancelled as soon as present
agreements permit, which will lie
about March !>, and that in all prob
ability tile equipment thus freed will
be devoted to a test run to the college
Its continuance will depend on the en
thusiasm with which it is received.
More definite information concerning
the number of runs which the bus will
make daily, or the times at which
these runs will he made, is not now
available, owing to the as yet hypo
thetical, state of the plans.
It. is likely that, if need lie, the
college authorities will enler into some
such agreement as that which now
exists between the Winston road resi
dents'and the p iwer company, guaran
teeing the coverage of any deficit in
curred by the Muir's Chapel bus; how
ever, the probable need for such a con
tract i.s very slight, in view of the
campus eagerness for a regular, de
pendable way to town. Many of the
regular habitues of the "bumming cor
ner"—in addition to most of Guilford's
women students —have been heard ex
pressing themselves as to the superior
desirability of a bus liue to any of the
existing modes of travel to the me
tropolis, while non-student residents of
the Guilford College community have
frequently voiced their sentiments in
the matter —which are that in general
they would prefer bus service to driv
ing to town.
Pope Turns Psychologist;

some day—any day—but make it soon:
look around you and a startling
conglomerate of pasteboard, paint,
wheels and wires cannot fail to at
tract your eye, so different il is from
the ordinary drab scientific parfanalia
that usually greets you.
What turn will these Quakers lie
taking next? There before you is a
ship at high .sea and a fisherman al
the bow intent upon bis catch. Hut
what is tills? A wire 110 less. Attach
it and turn the switch anil then really
start wondering! The sea begins to
roll the ship begins to roll. You roll.
And. as if that weren't enough, the
oilskinnid fisherman 011 deck proceeds
before your astonished eyes to haul
up a creature out of the SKI. Hut you
don't have time to catch your breath
before it lias disappeared into the hold
of the ship. Well! — what next. In a
little while another catch conies tip
and after a time you settle into the
routine mid got a chance to look at the
fish as they go by and (if you're good)
you see they are coil and that tliey are
probably just bursting with vitamin
"D" for underneath it all is the le
gend "Abbott Products.'
Hut suddenly you come to, and grab
the person next you and say "what is
this, anyway? Or maybe you just
look. After awhile Dr. Campbell pops
into your head. Must be she's sold
her soul to the Vitex Laboratories,
but this dark thought is cheeked, for
about that time someone takes you
aside and whispers "Pope." I'ojic.'

FLAGSTONE WALKS
TO BE LAID SOON;
GATE WORK BEGUN
First Gifts Precede March 15-
May 1 Drive for Cen
tennial Funds.
GYMNASIUM EMPHASIZED
Olher Goals Sought Include Hard-Sur
face Roads, New Heat Line, Electric
Organ and Auditorium Repairs.
; The paving of all the walks on cam
pus with flagstones is to commence
| early next week, according to a release
received from the Centennial office re
cently. The walks, long emphasized on
the list of Guilford College Centennial
projects, have at last become a soon
[ to-be-complete reality, together with
' the Memorial West Gate to the campus,
a gift of the class of '33, on which work
1 will commence Monday.
These achievements are a prelude to
the concerted drive for funds to fur
ther the 100-yard program which will
commence on March 15 and continue to
May 1 of this year.
Drive Has Three Goals
The drive is directed toward three
main objectives: increasing the amount
contributed to the Living Endowment,
raising SIOO,OOO to liquidate indebted
ness, and securing funds to the extent
of $99,250 for campus improvements.
The Living Endowment is made up of
a number of interested alumni and
other friends of the college who each
• year contribute on amount equivalent
to the interest on a much larger amount
• so that the total result is the same as
1 if the college's endowment had been
increased by the larger amount.
The campaign for campus improve
ment places emphasis on athletic needs,
in particular a new gym and an im
proved athletic field. The Monogram
club and the class of 'l4 are giving spe
cial effort to the attainment of greater
athletic facilities.
Other Needs Are Many
In addition to the hoped-for expan
sion of the sports equipment, many
other campus needs are stressed, in
cluding hard-surface roads, an improved
heat-line to the east campus, an electric
organ, drapes and general repairs for
the auditorium, third floor stacks for
the library, more adequate furnishings
tor Founders' hall, and relocation of the
college barn (not the old gym) and
j farmhouse.
