And, incidentally, Sherwood Eddy was good, too. Many of the problems of the sociolo gist presented themselves at this state wide conference. For instance, the re sults of unfair competition were ably illustrated when five Guilfordians con spired against one in two checker gnmes which, of course, resulted in one of the hard and fast facts of life that "to him that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." The games began as a fair woman to woman combat, but Charlotte Parker, with that inestimably valuable feminine gift of looking inno cently puzzled, soon had all the pro tective males rushing to her rescue. Even five against one wouldn't have been so bad if only one checker at a time had been moved, but when five of Charlotte's checkers mysteriously gained positions each time it was her turn— well, all we can say is it's no wonder, in a world of such unfair competition, that the litle man soon goes out of business. Prank Dorcy, who is famous for his talks on exercising business on the prin ciple of service instead of profits, took advantage of the generosity of the cafe teria to the extent of refilling his cof fee cup with free liquid every time a THE GUILFORDIAN Published Semi-Monthly by the Students of Guilford College Students Promote Campus Projects The men's student body have been asked to donate, as their contribu tion to the Living Endowment, mon ey and labor toward the laying of the flagstone paths provided for by a group of graduates. According to the proposed plan, euch student will be asked to sign over the balance of his unrefunded breakage fee and to make up the difference between that and the amcunt he wishes to give in participation in the actual task of laying the walks. Each student who cooperates with the administration in carrying out the above scheme will *>e entitled to the privileges of an alumnus—pub lications, etc.—for the period of one year. As we go to press, there is a rumor that the women students intend to do something similar with the fur nishing of the Student Hut; how ever, no definite information is available. DEBATERS TO MEET WAKE FORESTERS Negative Group's Success at Rock Hill Brings New Challenge. S. A. F. T. FEATURES PLAN Tlic men's negative debating team of Guilford College lias been invited to meet Wake Forest In forensic I s palatini! on the query: "Resolved that Congress sh.mhl lie empowered to iix minimum wages and maximum hours in industry." The invitation grew on of the uncommon success the Guilford men met with in the proposal of an alternative plan at the South Atlantic Forensic T ornament held March 4-ti at Winthrop College, Rock Hill. S. C The much discussed proposal that be came the feature argument of the tour ney was conceived bv l'rofess ir \V. O. Suiter. The plan will be presented to Wake Forest by the negative speak ers: Kay llollis and llenry Nau. Other teams representing Guilford were: Men's at'iruiative, David Staf ford. Alvin Meibohm; Women's uttirma tive, Ruth Stiis in, ltutii Hopkins: Women's negative, Kathleen Leslie. Dorothy Woodward. For the second successive year our Women's negative tenm was the only team will ii d.'leated the Wintluop debaters wli > were again winners of the contest. Major universities and colleges ex tending as far north as Pennsylvania and as far suit li as Florida were rep resented in the tourney. Guilford was also represented in the Oratorical Contest for women and the After Dinner Speaking Con est for men. I coffee girl came within range of his ! i 'Vonie hither" eyes. Wo might even 1 classify the sociologically minded Mr. ! Dorcy in the category of an exploiter of another race as he began his inveig l ling scheme by getting the ladies of color to minister unto him —and then i gradually worked himself up to the blonde waitresses. The high principles of the consumer's cooperative were de prived of a good showing when Frank refused to loan his coffee cup to the unfortunate members of his table who had gotten tea instead of coffee, with j no refill privileges. ! We think the dignified chaperon illus trated a principle of sociology (although I we have 110 name for it) when he van ished into thin air upon entering the cafeteria and wasn't discovered again until after dinner when he was finally found at a remote table, deeply en grossed in conversation with two strange I women. lie was quickly rescued by the thirteen Guilfordians who felt it was ' their turn to do some chaperoning. | The simplicity of the rural mind when caught in the intricate whirl of urban life was exemplified by our country storekeeper, Scoop Bradshaw, when he disgraced the other Guilfordians by locking a pair of gloves to the hat rack j and going off with the key. But perhaps the sociologists arc all ' wet—at least Greig Ritchie was when he dived off the stadium into the foot ball field and came up dripping. Greig is dried off, though, now, and we feel that a few more such instructive con j'erences would make us full fledged so ciologists. , GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MARCH 13, 1937 Candidates Publish Proposed Policies Following are statements of the plat forms of the candidates for the more important positions in next month's campus elections. The candidates for the presidency of the Student Council are not included among those voicing opinions becaues as a group they did not feel that they could issue state ments of policy. For Student Government President Lyndon Wilson: A student government should be a government by the students. It should be unostentatious in nature, but, at the same time, should keep the power of government in the hands of the stu dents, not making faculty intervention necessary. Believing that preventive justice is preferable to the penal typo, we will attempt to cure causes rather than to penalize mistakes. Norman Boyles: I do not believe in a set platform. There are no two situations exactly alike. If elected, T will try to meet these situations with the best of my ability as well as in collaboration with the faculty and student body. Earle Maloncy: My conception of the responsibility resting on the president of the men's student government is a representative one; meaning that the president is not to act as a policing proctor over the men, but as the representative from the men's student body to the admin istration and faculty; that he is to act at all times in the behalf of the men's student body, tempering his action in accordance with their wishes and needs. Dave Stafford: I favor closer cooperation with stu dent body; emphasis on group respect and responsibility for honor system; prevention rather than punishment; continuation of gentlemen's code rather than many rules, and encouragement of steps in that direction by Student SOPHOMORES WILL SPONSOR DRAMA Make First Contribution To ward Furnishing Student Hut, Admision 25c.

President Greig Ritchie: Present needs of the "Y" call for ex pansion of the religious and social pro grams by more active participation of the student body, cooperation with the Y. W. C. A., and more careful planning of Y activities. Milton Anderson: My policy if elected to the presi dency of the Y. M. C. A. would be to einpliaasize campus problems to a great er extent than national and interna tional problems that we cannot hope to solve. For Y. W. C. A. President Beatrice Rolir: If I am elected president of the Y. W. C. A., I shall undertake a practical approach to the problems which will confront that organization during my tetrm in office. In particular I shall do my best to further the Y's work in the fie 1:1s of changes ill the campus status quo and of inter-racial amity. Gladys Cnshmore: If I ail chosen president of the Y. \V. C. A., I shall endeavor to further the Y's work in promoting faculty-student relation!, to maintain and expand the services now offered by the Y to the student body, and to keep up the Y's participition in state and national ac tivities. For Editor of Guilfordian Milton Anderson: I believe that an editor owes alle giance ti> three things: his conscience, bis publisher, and his public. Since the Guilford College student body is both publisher and public of the Guil fordian, my policy as editor of that paper would be dictated by my con science and by the needs of the stu dents.

SOPHS MAKE JJOOK LISTS In order to create an interest in bui ding up a personal library, the library is sponsoring a contest, giving prizes of money to be spent in books to the Freshman Sophomore, and Junior-Senior classes. The prize of $5.00 is to be given to :lie two Freshmen who have read the most interesting list of books in their Knglish classes for the year. There are to be two second prizes of $2.."0 each. This training is supposed to instill into the student an appreciation of good ■iteratnre. In continuing tile sophomore's inter est in good books the library will give two prizes, tile first, $7.30, and the second, ,$2.50, for bibliographies of books which they would like to build into a private library. This list must contain not less than 2."> or more than .10 books, it must have complete biographical detail, about each book, and inns give reasons for the choices made.

These col lections will be exhibited the latter part of April. The books chosen by the winners will be ordered through the librarian. The first of May is set by Miss Katlierine Itlcks, librarian, for the an nouncement of the prize winners and the li risen: at ion of honors at a tea. STOP PRESS BULLETINS! Blair Gets Scholarship Charles E. Blair, '37, of Trinity, N. C., has been selected as the recipient of this year's Haverford Scholarship. This is the first time in two years that the scholarship has been awarded from Guilford, as no one was eligible last year. Other candidates this year were John Bradshaw and Sam Smith. Blair has played an important part in campus affairs during his year at Guilford, which culminated in his election to the post of president of the Men's Student Government last Spring. During the current school year he has al?o held positions on the Student Affairs Board and the Y. M. C. A. cabinet. He was the last recipient of the William F. Overman Scholarship. Elections to Precede Vacation The spring elections this year will be held on Tuesday, March 23, instead of following the spring vacation as usual. This de cision was reached at a meeting of the Student Affairs Board held last Wednesday night, when an election committee headed by Charles Blair was appointed by President Paul Hockett. The polls will be open from S a. m. to 4 p. m. and results will be available before the beginning of the holidays on March 26. This change was made owing to requests from certain of the candidates who wished to be sure of the results before going home. Social Committee Prepares Party The last major social event of the third quarter will be the "tacky party" to be held in the gym Saturday, March 20. Prizes will be given to the most ludicrously costumed couple and to the last couple on the floor in the elimination dance. Bill Furman and the Guilford Grenadiers will furnish music for the function, which will last from 7:30 to 10:15, and an admission fee of 25 cents will be charged, and the proceeds will go toward the purchase of a radio-phonograph for the use of the committee at future functions. Vacation Lenythened One Day The spring vacation will end at 8 a. m. on April 1, instead of at 1 p. m. on March 31, as previously announced. This change was made public by President Clyde A. Milner.
