We cannot cease to be somewhat amazed at things that happen momentarily. Only a few weeks ago a person could walk through King Ilall without touching anyone else unless he so desired. Sim iliarly, there were always many vacant seats in the library. Voices, footsteps, and miscellaneous human sounds have increased in volume! This is due primarily to the presence of the newly-enrolled war veterans. We are very pleased to have them at Guilford, believing that they have much to con tribute to the college and hoping that they will profit by being here. Colleges throughout the nation are ex periencing a boom in enrollment. The im mediate effect upon Guilford has been good. Already a better college spirit is in the making and the morale of students has hit a new high. Some of the old students have waked up to the fact that they have not been study ing nearly enough when they hear the class recitations from some veterans. It has been rumored that some of the new students cannot get used to saying "Hey," "Hi," or "Hello" to every Mary and Joe every time they meet. Unimpor tant? Maybe so. At any rate, now's the time to make more friends, to study harder, and to get a big kick out of life at Guilford College! OPEN FORUM Editor of The Guilfordlan: The other day while looking through some old copies of the Guilfordlan, I ran across an editorial entitled 'i/ook at the World," which appeared in the April 14, 1945 issue. It said, in part, "Modern civilization might be termed a wild dream . . . When America's fighting men return, we who had to remain at home will want to have a knowledge of far awa.v places. When war no longer darkens our horl 3x>n, tt is of utmost importance that we become Internationally minded in the social, political, jui'd economic realms if we have a sincere desire to let peace reign." Now that the great war is over, the majority of our veterans are returning to this modern civilization. They are not finding a wild dream, but a nation itchy with a rash of internal dls- CAMPUS PERSONALITY OAnMlt UuXluo A few weeks before Christmas, Uncle Sam released a soldier, a B-17 Tech. Sergeant of fifty missions, who has had three and one half years in the Air Corps, nine months of which were spent overseas. A fitting description of this veteran is: Height—six feet, weight—lßs pounds, hair sandy blond, eyes—green —and complexion— ruddy. His home is in Greensboro and he has a twin sister there. He is a freshman majoring in economics and mlnoring in physical education. His name is Irie Leonard, but he answers more quickly to "Bunk." He was an outstanding athlete at Rankin High School, and he has brought all his ability to Guilford with him. We have already witness ed a part of this in the skillful way -we have seen him handle himself on the basketbnll court. Playing forward, he has several times been high scorer of the game. His hobby is athletics and he says his favorite class is physical education. He likes good personalities, good sportsman ship, and charm and poise in people, while on the otherhand, he dislikes people who are over bearing. His worst fault Is not studying, but he claims he has devised a new method whereby he will improve. "First I turn down Roxie's picture. Then I lock the door to keep the folks out. Lastly, I pull my desk away from the window where I can't see the girls. Then I dig in and study. It works." He dislikes to eat fish, but never grows tired of steak and all the accessories. His spare time—which doesn't include his time in the gym—is spent in Mary Hobbs. He is liked by all, and if his winning smile doesn't get you, as soon as he speaks, you'll change toward him. turbances extending pretty well over the whole United States. There are labor disputes which cause not a few cracked heads, a national battle against the menace of inflation and ultimate economic collapse. Should! we "Look at the World?" No, America! What are the cause of the strikes which affect a nation that should by now be more than ready for peace? Undoubtedly, one cause is that the people have become too internation ally-minded which results in a natural aspira tion of seeking escai>e from the Status quo ante bellum. This has proved oppressive. The desire for immediate and radical changes which were held in check during the war is now find ing an outlet. The insistence, in general, on seeking a solution by strike rather than negotia tion and arbitration points to another cause. The lack of government interference serves as a pledge on our Congress and a straight jacket on free enterprize and industry. The nation as a whole is worrying about foreign relations which are not under control, while, without a doubt, our worst trouble lies within our borders. Were the younger generation, students of Guilford are responsible for maintaining a last ing peace, not only aboard, but at home, as well. Maybe we have been too internationally minded, that is, the nation as a whole, and not nation ally minded enough. We can do very little to put administration into control, but if we will not allow ourselves to be confused) by the compli cated argument over each one of the bits and pieces of our national, chaotic conditions, we will have achieved our first step toward making our modern civilization a modern dream to fit with our amazing transportation and communi cation and in turn to fit with our atomic war time dreams of peace.

Brought to the public's attention by Dr. Albert Einstein, it was then the subject of an open letter to the American public initiated by former Justice Owen J. Roberts and signed by a variety of religious leaders and representatives of national organi zations. Urgent and timely, it expresses the reality of atomic warfare and the necessity of a world-wide legal order to save civilization from war suicide. Mr. Reves first analyzes the position of each major nation in the conflict just ended. The United States, England, France, Russia, and Germany are each treated sympathetically in turn, and the interplay of national ambitions is revealed. The confusion of it all comes from a world viewed from the attitude of Ptolemy, a narrow-minded, state-centered world. A more peaceful world would result from the broad idea of a Copernican world 1 . Next, Mr. Beves cites the failure of capital ism, of socialism, and of religion. Concening the latter, he quotes Thomas Paine, "I do not believe in the creed professed by .. . any church that I know of. Sly own mind is my own church. All national instutions of churches . . . to me no other than human inventions." Social ism and capitalism have, to him, one end: fascism and totalitarianism. The nation-state is the common enemy of all, for the democracies are moving toward fascism, on toward commun ism or capitalism. The multiplicity of modern sovereign states suggest the comparison of feudalism, which plunges the world into barbarism. To destroy this political system and establish a social order based upn the sovereignity of the world-com munity would be to end war. The superficial causes of war are based upon the contact of non-integrated social units of February 9, 1946 SON SPOTS By DABAGIAN Now that the curtains have all been drawn in Archdale, this chatter can be knocked out without distraction. It is a little distracting to have Jack Hartley come dashing into the room at 7:30 (p.m. of course), so we suggest that Little Snag either carry his Kleenex or use "Luscious" Richardson's. And, if June Lewis, who left her name and address (and a few pictures) splattered on the wall of her former room, will give her phone number to Solotov, that will calm him temporarily. But "Old Surge" Pollack won't quiet down till he finds out who the character Is that the old students refer to so irreveran'tly as "The Pig." And why, natch! • Haven't seen Ben Runkle for a few years, but you've got to take a second look at him cause he appears so woe-begone; so sad-sackish. A few questions here and one says: "A senior." A question there and another says: "A music major." So, Sue Shelton takes a bow and the Vet'a Administration can stamp the case as "cause known." • The American Veterans Committee complain ed on behalf of the Vets that many are being forced to drop out of college because their checks under the GI Bill were not coming through. Winston-Salem newspapers editorial ized that they didn't know if this held true for Vets in Norh Carolina colleges, but if it Is, It's a raw deal. To the Winston papers: 'Tis sad but true, even in North Carolina colleges, student Vets suffer through long periods of waiting for checks that fail to come. A pat on the back should be given to the powers that be of Guilford' College for not insisting that "room and board" bills be paid until the checks finally do arrive. Uncle Sammy, one can be disillusion ed oh sooo easily! • If a little rough stuff in basketball doesn't put "Bunk" Leonard on the rails, a little smooth stuff in Hobbs, Roxy Roberson, done dood it. • The most conspicuous need on this campus is an electric scoreboard in the gym for basket ball games. Senior Class could give that a little thought when they get around to Class Gift. Looking bock through the recent years In Guil ford history, we can't help but notice that grad ual improvement in our teams. Though the quality of our teams has never been scoffed at, the results were, to put it mildly, casually re garded. Now that results are beginning to match quality, the same should be applied to equipment under which we can list scoreboard. Right? Why, sure! • And while on the subject of progress, isn't it about time to Institute a Girl's Smoking Room so they won't have to go sneaking a drag? Judging from the pictures drawn on the walls of Yankee Stadium, where the girls sacked dur ing the war years, the Guilford Girl has come a long way in four years. Rules and regulations should go hand in hand with vicissitude. • That bandage on Owen Lindley's hand: he went into town to pick up some cigarettes and some clumsy fool stepiied on his fingers! • Jeune filles, when you're sitting there in dark ness and bliss, and you want to get a shriek out of your feller', just ask him he whys and wherefores of the Bruce Harris Kangaroo-Court trial. Too hot for us to handle in public but, "'tis said his taste is in the mouth. • Tingle, tingle, little bell; how I wish yon were in ... . even a fish wouldn't get in trouble if he'd keep his mouth shut. Or, as the he said to the she who said : "What would you say if I told you I didn't believe in kissing?" . . . Goodbye! equal sovereignity, therefore the problem of peace is a social and political problem, not a technical one. The powerful armaments and conscription advocated by our leaders cannot maintain peace. They will be a constant source of rivalry. The integration of the con flicting nations with a higher sovereignity with in which order can secure equality: that is the ultimate answer. Peace Is the result of legal order and must be guarded the grenter power of a supreme authority based upon the equality of all nations. This superior law in world re lations can succeed where the San Francisco charter fails. This book reserves careful thought and group discussion. The message Is vital and of imme diate concern—the survival of our civilization.
