Furnas Address all communications to THE GUILFORDIAN Guilford College, N. C. Subscription price SI.OO per year 193S Member 1939 [Associated Golle&iale Press Entered at the post office in Guilford College as second class matter Good Marks at Guilford give a certain amount of prestige to the student who attains the heights of academic nirvana. Note the honor roll and the privileges attached thereto. The Grade handlers could add a little more pestige to the A and B class and save themselves some time if the upper, upper class marks were dropped in the campus mail. The Ordeal of getting grades is hud enough under the best of circumstances. This waiting around the office of the Dean of Men like the proverbial Grant around Richmond waiting a turn doesn't better circumstances any for the male recipients of the achievement arabics. We admit that the practice of a short interview with the Dean is a good practice in "Friendly Education". It is also a time con suming practice. The Dean and his corps of assistants could save several score hours of student time if a calendar for appointments could be posted, permitting the men to sign for a definite time. The prevailing "coine and wait for twenty" order is rather provoking. The Dean of Women lias been using the appointment method and naturally, it, works. "All Is Not Gold, etc." Progressive education involves many phases of culture which are not subjected to the harrowing ingnoininy of appearing on quarterly report cards. Even many of us who climb the honor roll Pisa after coming to intimate terms with the mid-night oil, have been known to succumb to wishful thinking, and in our more creative moments transform in our mind's eye the dull mid-night oil into the bright lights of Broadway. But how few of us realize that we would be no more capable of understanding and interpreting Broadway than we were able to understand the enigmatic chapel speakers when we first became a part of Guilford College. Drama, art, music—knowledge and appreciation of these aesthetic values are no more innate in us than is the diagraming of sentences. We have recently been subjected to a progressive educational pro gram in regard to our school plays. Beginning with Arms ami the Man last year, we progressed to the Pot Bailer, in which we had to substi tute a little imaginative power for the usual scenery. This year, in the Admiral Crichton, we found, much to the distaste of many of us, that the hero and the heroine didn't get married in the end—but they seldom do on Broadway. In the field of art, some of us shake our heads over Alice Murphy's supposedly valuable presentation of The Subway, which is on display in Founders. We don't like suhwa.vs in pictures. We've been looking at trees and babies on our calendars all our lives, and therefore sub ways don't constitute a part of our conception of art. Subways—Admiral Crichton's—they are not a part of our everyday experience and it is therefore hard for us to consider them as awthetie productions—but they are what we meet on the coveted Broadway— and they are an integral part of our progressive education. F. IT. THE GUILFORDIAN SECOND-CLASS MATTER BY THE CARRIER Just three weeks till Christmas; 24 shopping (lays or don't you rare? Speaking of vacations, let me recall to your attentions the regulations re garding absences on page '4 of the col lege catalogue: "Students are allowed no absences, except those excused by the deans during the week before and the week after vacation." That rule holds for two weeks because Thanks giving day, in case you hadn't noticed, was a vacation. So, no cuts. I move, Mr. Chairman, that we be consistent about this thing and make that rule apply to Sundays. They're just as im portant. The Dramateurs got away with a considerably neuterized version of Crichton, if you remember the movie. rink Hill Taylor and Taulsboro I'erian are about to complete their practice teaching at G'boro Hi. They did their grading on the curve. The girls, that is. Heen having fun with the new Per sonnel BtJLLetin lately. The arrange ment of some of the names is wonder ful. We have Angel, Angel, Ashcraft. for instance. Or take (if possible) a more bucolic combination :—-Bray Bul lock. Consider the Carter, Case. Or Pair, Panning, or Ford Fortune, or French Fry. Gaunt Gehrke makes my hair stand up. Hartley, Ilazzard has a menacing sound, too. Seeing Labber ton Lai tin Lane wouldn't surprise any body more than Lauten, Leach. Leave! Lebenstein might fool you, tho, even more than Loftin Lyon. You have to skill Pollard to get Pianson Potts, but it's worth it. Swift Taylor is more than somewhat misleading, while Teller, Tesh seems unnecessary. Now of course if you want to carry this thing to ex tremes you can note that the middle names of both the Wheelers is Chris tine. or that certain initials spell such things as MEX, DEW, JAW, FEW, ItAW, HEX. (Hi, dear yes, the person nel bulletin is fun. Now I think I'll go get measured for a straight-jacket. And speaking of What's-In-A-N'ame, Melissa, I'll have to know, is the Greek word for bee. Ouch. Dan is Hebrew for "A Judge." Ezra, (Hebrew) means "Help." No comment. Laufcu didn't hit what he was aim ing at with the cocoa. I demand an apology. Math Dept. If six men working 8 hours a day can dig a ditch from Cox to Founders, how long will it take S men to get heat in Cox Ilall if Dave Parsons spends three-fourths as much time staring into the ditcli as Scoop Bradshaw spends. (Hint : Sundays and holidays don't count.) Applesauce - for - flic - Gander Dept.: After averaging six hours a day with Glickinau year before last. Fair Swaim started going about with a girl named Cope. Myra proves able to. a-ham, cope with the situation. My friend, the Editor, T. A.

There MAS a flat fire. Quote flic Editor We agree that he was maladjusted. Just before that 7-7 tie Our Boys wallowed out with Xot-So-Easy-T.-C.: the Carrier was heard going about mut tering : "It isn't raining rain to me, It's raining violence." Rich man, poor man, room-mnte, room-mate. . . . CAMPUS STUFF - By SANDERS "I said to bring a Rushee—Not a Russian" OPEN FORUM Dear Editor: As a day student I greeted the let ter in the Open Forum columns with joy. The author of the letter lias ac curately given an account of the social j situation as its affects the daydodgers. lie lias treated frankly with a subject: avoided by everyone except the day! students themselves, who thirst how ever mildly, fir a taste of real campus life. However, there are certain aspects! which lie either doesn't know about j or he forgot to mention. May I add I my two cents worth for our cause? First: A day student doesn't have in date somebody else's steady to be considered a heel —be merely lias to j look at her twice. I speak from years j of experience. Only last year I cast ! an appreciative eye at a Jersey dam sel one day in King hail. lier campus fiance spied my puerile efforts and snorting brimstone and tire lie chargedi up to threaten me bodily injury. As I lie outweighed me double, I graciously j lei the incident pass. To get more up to date: 'l'lie other day I playfully j chucked a yawning stretching blond under (lie chin with a forefinger after class had just ended, immediately her | better half, who had been sitting only j a few seats away was in front of liie | Wolfing and glaring—but he is a pretty good friend of mine and lie did not strike me. I have brooded over these and other incidents and have at last come to tile conclusion that, nothing is wrong with me. but il is the social set up that is screwy. Moral: It' you value life and limb don't Hnagle with I lie stamped, tagged, and ciainied cam pus female product. Item two: Day students of any hue or color, regard less of any previous condition or servi tude may take off-campus dates to any campus function they like CJrccpt iliuicfx. Why this drastic, dogmatic, uncompromising rule? Many day stu dents don't know of this stern rule and not a few to their considerable embarrassment have been tossed out by a duty bound dean or social committee. Why can't we bring town girls to our school dances? Most: of us are mod erately proud (if Guilford, but our ad vances are met with a stern, inexorable rule. We are being made temporary bachelors. Dancing is the only social activity with a broad inviting scope, and yet we don't have much chance for enjoying it. After a year or two of going to campus dances as stags, most of us go to Woman's College where our talents are appreciated. Moral: Let (Continuecl on Page Three) November 26, 1938 LOOSE ENDS By ROBERT REGISTER Some of this stuff is subtle. We might ico so far s to say quite subtle. If. after close scrutiny—mind you we do say close scrutiny,—tlie value of a line is not apparent to you; yea, verily, if it does not titillate your joc ular vein, my friend, we fear that your synapses arc slipping. Question your first impression! Strive to be a savant ! If a certain bit strikes you as —-well, may we say "raw"?—look again, delve into the depths of said profound pun.
