Guilford Tomorrow
The Student Campaign presents the op
portunity for the Guilford student body
to express their willingness to help make
Guilford "a better college for a better to
morrow." Through the years it has been a
tradition for students to gripe concerning
any and everything all the time. We have
griped about dorms, classrooms, equipment,
tennis courts, driveways, walks, and any
thing else that was not perfect or as good
as some other school. We have done a great
deal of griping, we all admit; now we can
help do something about it. We will not
be able to enjoy the actual additions but
we will have aided those who follow us.
Nothing is ever valuable and cherished
until something has been sacrificed in order
to obtain it. There is joy and satisfaction
in watching a dream develop when you
have had a part in the creation of that
dream. We have been a part of Guilford
and Guilford has played a vital factor in
our lives.
Beginning March 6, the student cam
paign will begin. This is not a plea in
monitary value but value in appreciation
and encouragement. It is not the amount
we will give, but the fact that we are 100%
behind the campaign. Here is our oppor
tunity to contribute in making the dream
of Guilford materialize.
As Russell Pope said in his poem, "Gym
nasium '':
"We stood on a hill,
Amongst the quiet oak and pine,
Watching—
Watching a dream come true."
Guilford Spirit
The Guilford spirit that the old-timers
remember seemed to l>e 011 the way back
last Tuesday night when the enthusiasm of
the student body backed our team to vic
tory over High Point. We were there, one
and all, united for the first time this year.
It seems that there has been an abnormal
amount of dissension among the students,
the cause of which is vague. Emotionalism
and reform movements seem to be the
fashion of Guilford '45. Guilford is what
the students make it. It can be no more,
it is of utmost importance to our own pres
ervation that we strive to regain our dis
appearing friendliness, our cooperation,
and our unity. We will have to sacrifice
for a rebirth of spirit, and the time has
On the
Muffins, niufflns, mufflins, collards, collards,
collards . . . Don't the wholesale houses have
anything else to sell these days but corn meal
and collards? If they do you can't prove it by
us. We have also noticed that two bottles of
milk a meal never hurt anyone, or even one
once in a while. We'll have the rickets if we
aren't more careful.
O
There is a new couple on campus and appar
ently they have It pretty bad, namely, Don and
Deedie. Speaking of new couples, Gray and
Texas seem to be doing all right. More power
to 'em.
O
The writers of this column have heard some
rumors to the effect of third parties sitting in
on dates, but since that is a very touchy subject
we kahn't mention any names, as that is not the
policy of this column. Now could we?
O
There are also rumors that a boy on the
campus has started dating Midge, but FRANKIy
we can't tell you who he is as we don't know
his name.
O
Say, it looks as if Harkey is doing fine with
Joyce—hope you can keep her, old man. Ma
and Pa seem to be getting along excellently. At
any rate they don't have a weekly tight like Joe
and Roxie.
O
Someone said that Peanut is doing fine with
Archdale's head-lady.
O
Joe Barnes says, "The coffee tastes like some
body threw an old saddle blanket in the urn
with hot water and chicory and then stirred!"
O
The girls at Arelidale, we have heard, are get
ting the Army-Navy E. Congratulations!
O
We think that Peggy Taylor deserves a nice
plug for her nice voice.
O
Paul J. is waiting for the next scrap drive.
He has a pot to throw on the pile.
O
It seeins that as a desperado Sir. Malinowski
is a little too gay for the Queen and her court.
Wonder what Ma Kent is doing now that the
cigarettes are so scarce?
O
The fact that Hubbies is expecting to gradu
ate this year should serve as incentive to all
Frosh.
O
Don Werntz has written a new book, "Parlor
Tricks."
O
Fletcher, Squire, and Osborne should win their
school letters this year as a result of all the
hiking they do.
O
The slogan before the High Point game was
"Get a Panther"—manager Rusack said he want
ed to get that female panther that's been giving
out all that big time publicity lately.
O
The boys in Cox Ilall would like to hire Fukl
Takano's services to rid the joint of all the
mice that have been roaming the halls recently.
O
Long John Griffith and Ethel Perry want to
start some sort of a revolution. We suggest
that they agitate in behalf of higher wages for
the waiters' union.
O
We bet the morons miss Jonathan Dixon's tak

DILEMMA
Our campus is a lovely thing, God wot.
The put lis and mud across if, though, are not.
In front of Mem, two hemispheres are seen
(A line of red dividing up the green.)
We tramp to gym, and lo! one looking back
Beholds behind a soggy beaten track.
The bulbs along the paths are doomed to die,
They're pulp before they have a chance to try.
And many a heavy footed lad or lass
Has made his feet eternal in the grass.
The campus was superb, alumni knew,
Hut what will it be like when we are through?
SNAKI.
come when some action toward a revival
of normal campus spirit is imperative.
Let us try to hold that amount of spirit
that was expressed at the game and try
to rebuild our old "Quaker Spirit."

Ask Miss Pickwick
Dear Miss Pickwick:
I am a very attractive young girl and am an
excellent dancer. I am a sophomore in college
and I always go to t lie soldier dances because
I am such a wonderful morale uplifter. How
ever, at the last dance, all my techniques failed.
My roommate, who 1s rather homely and a
very poor dancer, got the biggest rush I ever
saw, while I sat 011 the sidelines—a miserable
wallflower. Finally I realized what had hap
pened. She had taken my SSO-an-ounce per
fume. "Come-Kiss-Me-Quick !", and had put some
horrible chemical formula in the bottle. I had
been smelling a foul odor, but I thought it was
the heating system.
My problem is: what shall I do with such
a roommate? She is plainly deceitful, yet she
is extremely intelligent and is the sole reason
I'm getting through college. Answer quickly,
for I'm getting frustrated !
Wallflower.
Dear Wallflower:
Your problem is one of tactics—you have been
using that old S. A. against intelligence, and
your techniques, though potent in some cases,
OPEN FORUM
Dear Editor:
Many of us feel a vital need for united
spirit and enthusiasm on our campus. All too
frequently students gripe and complain about
the present "numbness" and indifference toward
campus activities. The attitude which is ex
pressed by many is that after the war is over
all will be rosy again. This is in all likelihood
the truth, but why wait until then?
In a college as small as ours we have the
advantage that every individual has a vital role
in campus life. If the interests of the students
could be pooled together they would be strength
ened and better harmony would result.
Our central problem seems to be in arousing
more interest in campus organizations. With
common interests, we can get cooperation and
through cooperation we can get more active and
effective working organizations. Each organi
zation on campus is designed to meet a particu
lar need. We are going to try to broaden them
out and give everyone a chance to work at a
specific job. Often students think that they are
incapable to till a job. One example is that
someone may feel he is not talented enough to
write for the Ouilfordian or the Quaker, but
if he will try he will see how easy it is. Next
year we ought to have a course in journalism
to teaeh us how to write interestingly, how to
write heads, and how to plan a paper, which
may be of some encouragement to our less self
confident stndents.
If everyone will try to do his best whenever
we get an assignment, whether it be to knit a
sweater, get an ad, ask a faculty member to
chaperone a (lance or just to attend a meeting,
we could improve a whole lot.
When all the little tasks are done and accu
mulated they will combine to form one great
stream flowing to a goal which is a united feel
ing and spirit on campus, making it alive and
a privilege and pleasure to be here.

Through the Looking Glass
By JOHN SEVIER
ANALYZING THE CRIMEA ACCORD
Many well-informed Americans feared that
Great Britain might play off the well-meaning
idealism of the United States against the cold
realism of the Soviet Union. With Churchill's
admission that America possesses the largest
military, naval and air armaments of the United
Nations and with the virtual failure of British
Tories in Greece, many might well consider that
Britain would do anything to regain the eco
nomic and political sway over the world. But
the Crimea accord put a stop to this—at least,
temporarily.
By pledging what amounts to the complete
cooperative subjection of Germany, by support
ing the formation of a new and broader Polish
provisional government with the old Lublin com
mittee as its nucleus, by guaranteeing the right
of self-determination for all Nazi-occupied coun
tries through free and democratic elections, and
by pledging themselves to act as the guiding
force in the San Francisco conference for the
establishment of a permanent world-security or
ganization, the three major world powers—the
United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Brit
ain—have made the first step in the direction
of world peace.
But It is only the first step. By not dealing
specifically with the Greek and Italian as well
as the Polish problem, by not at least declaring
their intention of extending the right of self
determination to India and other colonial peo
ples, the task of building a permanent world
security organization with a fair chance of
achieving world stability is greatly lessened.
And then there is the American policy—or lack
of it—toward these matters.
The Crimea agreement was not. just a stepping
stone to possible world stability, it was a lesson
to those church leaders and other well-meaning
idealists who refused to admit that the Big
Three are truly the big three in world affairs
and that the world, the small nations not ex
cepted. can have no peace without a permanent
accord of the Big Three. In essence, Crimea
was a lesson in realism.
seldom work with n roommate. One should
learn to alter one's methods with the situation.
To thoroughly conquer your roommate and yet
not dispense with her help is comparatively easy.
The question of supply and demand; what do
you have that she doesn't? No, not "Come-Klss-
Me-Quick!", but your dancing and morale-build
ing ability. The clever tiling to do is to swap
social lessons for classroom ones.
Good luck,
P. Pickwick.
