Subscription price ?1.00 per year 1937 Member 1938 Fhsociafed GoUe6iate Press Entered at the post office in Guilford College as second class matter Food for Thought Legislation against the tilings ineti want to do i.s futile. Altruism is the name which every man gives to iiis own selfishness. With one outstanding exception, chapel of late lias been refreshingly different. The technique of dictatorship is pretty much the same, whatever its ideology. "Public opinion" is the reflection of current propaganda by a mil lion distorted mirrors. It is difficult to think about world politics today; most people prefer to choose one of the great biases and stick by it. To the Ladies! Every time we turn around we learn that the Women's Athletic Association has instituted some new form of sport for its constituents — horseback riding, swimming, social dancing, interpretive dancing, and the like—despite its limited budget. Admittedly the facilities for physical education are limited, but the W. A. A. should serve as a con stant reminder to the men of the existing possibilities. Antioch College has made a go of a purely intramural program com posed mainly of the stock sports —football, basketball, baseball, etc. — and it's a project well worth attempting. If the existing situation does not offer adequate facilities for the renovation of the major sports (pro gram, it might be well for the men to take a leaf out of the WAA's book and try a few of the unusual diversions. Hiding, fencing, boxing and wrestling seem likely possibilities. Why Join the A. S. U.? There are a great many things wrong with the world today. The national and international systems which grew up with industrial development, have shown themselves to be inadequate to the needs of the world groups which they are futilely attempting to serve; and all sorts of solutions have been suggested and are being attempted in coun tries all over the world. Student's in the United States are not in a position to do anything very effective about these problems. However effective they may be, they are very definitely a minority—and they are not respected in an •atmosphere of universal education the way they are in societies in which formal instruction is a relative rarity. However, any man or •woman who leaves college unacquainted with the areas of need in the world and in bis or her own neighborhood today, together with a thorough grounding in possible solutions to the pressing problems, is socially illiterate. Among the effective agencies of instruction in the country today, the American Student Union occupies a high place. And that, we believe, is its greatest recommendation for a place at Guilford College. As we go to press, efforts to organize a chapter on campus seem to be meeting with success. If they do succeed, we do not expect any great material reforms to follow—we are convinced, that they cannot—but we are sincere in our belief that those who participate will be better fitted to live in the world which they will have to face after graduation. THE GUILFORDIAN SECOND-CLASS MATTER By THE CARRIER No chapel (or chaple, as M. Marg. Binford spells it) any more on Sat urday. To a lot of people that means no chapel period, but to us it means no Saturday breakfast. Prof. Samuel (Gu Ru) Haworth made a big hit all unbeknownst to himself the other day, when he was quoting an ancient Chinese philisopher. We don't know what the message was, or what it was intended to be, but it was inter preted to read, "Don't drink out of a short pint." Wht do you mean, com parative religion? There will be a meeting of the Rid ing Club this afternoon at 4:15. Tyree Gilliam missed the Honor Roll by three- or four-tenths of a point, but, if a man can be known by the company lie keeps, he is doing the next best thing. And so our dramatics teacher, Mr. Robert I. Marshall, bought a twenty dollar bicycle from a Scotchman for seventeen bucks. Well, why not? He's a Quaker, ain't he? The Riding Club will meet immedi ately after lunch It seems their chins are always up. Their cars are always to the ground. Best feet are always forward; Their shoulders to the wheel are bound. Their nose is to the grindstone, While their eyes are fixed ahead . . . What are these chapel speakers Anyway,—contortionists? They do say that the dean of women remonstrated with a certain young lady of the campus not long ago. The grounds for the royal rebuke were that she (Mrs. Milner) didn't know any women like our heroine. That's all right. We never knew any women like Mrs. Milner, either. The Riding Club will hold an import ant meeting in East Parlor immediately after dinner. "Marriage involves compromise," says Mrs. Milner .... And vice-versa? So Robert Taylor is transferring his social activities to G. C. and is going steady this week. She's a petite bru nette who lives just over the hill . . . If we can't make new enemies we stick by the old ones, huh, Parsons? . . . We like the smell of burning punk. All members of the Riding Club please meet in Zay Hall at twelve-forty five. The Rt. Rev. Thomas Aslicraft led a pilgrimage to the basement of the First Baptist church in Winston-Salem Mon day nite. Haw! So Lin White is all in an uproar. Seems lie sent his lady-love a nice sweet box of candy for Valentine's Day and also a ditto Valentine message. Came ■ the pause between the dark and the daylight which is known as the Soeial Hour. Came White leaping up the ' steps of Mary Garden to reap a well deserved reward. Down the same steps . came the lady on the arm of a stranger. Hmm. Sauce for the goose? i About the prize Valentine, though, L was on outgrowth of the Monogram , dance. It appears that G. Beittel didn't get a balloon there. Sooo, she got three packages from Aiston on the four l tccnth. Smart boy, Stewart. He let j her inflate 'em herself. There will be a very important meet ■ ing of the Riding Club at seven o'clock ; tonite. All members please be present. A quick turn around Founders al most any nite now will disclose a lot t of West Porch Spirit all wrapped up | in Byrd and Palmer. There will he an important meeting • of the Riding Club .... GOODBYE I lmd not known till now That "never" was so sad a word. So I shall turn my face As though I had not heard. THE HUMANIST Nature was an institution Pretty clever? Well, in your elocution Did you ever Make a speech Or teach Why man appears Upon the earth With but one tongue To tell his worth: — And two ears? I'ARDONMEEDNA My candle burns at both ends; I'd snuff it were I able. But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends — The tallow on the table. CHRISTMAS 1936 Hark, the Herald angels sing: "Japs Demand Naval Parity", "Police Hap New Vice Ring", (And on earth, peace—and charity.) "Incendiary Fire in Home for Para lytics". "Six Die in Crash". "President Flays Critics". "New Deal Lashed". "Sanctions Won't Stop War". (Pour an oil embargo on the waters.) "Millionaire Jumps from Sixteenth Floor". "Man Kills Wife and Two Daughters". No mention of Hitler, Coughlin, or the Reds today. (And on earth, peace.) That girl who killed her father has nothing more to say, But the judge says she'll got a release. What is the song the bullet sings ("League Conference Fails Again".) To llaille Selassie, King of Kings? (And good will toward men.) BLUEBEARD My love, my heart is your castle, But I slial remain its king. You may bid each trembling vassal, But 1 warn you of this thing:— To live as queen you must Keep to the lower floors, Mount 110 stair in distrust, Nor knock at the closed door*. VERS LIBRE This is the literary curse Free verse So called And it's getting So much worse That I'm Appalled— I wonder Why the hell As you Thunder And yell And pile Your goddam stuff In rows And rows You couldn't Cut the bluff And call it Prose. ON THE POPULARITY OF WINGED HORSES Lovers of verses are few, and mostly lazy; Coiners of verses arc many, and mostly crazy.
