With JERRY ALLEN
A sage once remarked that the
only way to know a man is through
his hobbies. Off hand, I can't re
member the name of said sane, but
the moaning cry of a bewildered
freshman to the effect of "Aren't
any Profs human V" led me into
investigating this debatable ques
tion, and now, after two weeks of
research, I've come to the conclu
sion that, once shorn of all neces
sary academic airs, they're as nor
mal as the proverbial doctor, law
yer, Indian chief. . . .
Mrs. Milner does not spend all of
hor spare time by tracing afferent
college pressures into their logical
or illogical efferent endings, on the
contrary, most of her leisure mo
ments are spent In preparing and
delivering lectures. These lectures
are given to all sorts of vocational
and educational groups, the subjects
varying with the whims, desires and
above all, the needs of her au
dience. These lectures are delivered
without fear of having embryo
(paging Hyatt. Andrews >V Co.)
physicists throwing verbal boom
erangs at her Gestalt-like *iK>stu
lates! . . .
Many a legend is centered around
the absent-mindness of l)r. Furnas.
It's rumored that after he fell down
a flight of stairs, he turned t an
amazed onlooker and asked, "What
was that noise V" "This 'habit'
hinders his chess playing ... a
friend related, "why, I was witness
ing a match between l>r. Furnas
and a fellow faculty member; when
I noticed that he was very uneasy
and looked annoyed . . . he kept
twitching and moving . . . twitch
ing and moving . . . until at last,
I asked him why he looked so ill
at ease . . ." l>r. Furnas replied.
"I can't stand opponents who take
hours to move . . ." It took us ten
minutes to convince him that it was
his move . . . and that he had for
gotten that his opponent had moved
. . . and was waiting on him! He
sides chess, Dr. Furnas enjoys
dreaming up all sorts of Verne-like
inventions', one of which is an hori
zontal escalator that would carry
shoppers around department store
counters.
Mr. Feagans has done quite a bit
of stamp collecting and is the ever
eager home repairer. He'll tlx any
thing . . . and if in the process of
carpentry, he smashes a digit or
fingernail . . . the piano bears the
brunt of his anger, as the notes of
"You broke the only thumb that
ever loved you" . . . float forth. . . .
His philosophical cohort, Mr.
Kent, professes having no hobby ex
cept reading books. He reads all
sorts of books . . . hut not unlike
other discriminating readers, he de
tests "Who-dunnlt" novels. The
thought of racking your brain for
r>()0 pages only to discover that the
victim died of old age ... is too
much for anyone ... no less a for
giving philosopher.
Mrs. Dunstan's foreign language
background finds another outlet be
sides teaching, namely: Culinary
concocting. Besides attempting to
reproduce the delicacies of Itiveria
chefs, she invents all sorts of for
eign dishes. Her husband has often
Hied to the refuge of the Dixie Diner
after spying a plate of tamaies,
grits and fried rice! She refuses
to divulge the exact recipes of her
pet discoveries, fearing vengeance
at the hands of Gourmet, Inc. (of
which l.l.uritz Melchoir is honorary
president.) After eating those
calory packed dishes, Mrs. Dunsat
takes to the hills . . . hoping to
walk off any put on weight. Hiking
has always been a favorite of hers,
and on occasions, she and her out
door friends have walked as much
as eight miles into Carolina coun
tryside.
My next interview was the easiest
of all, for it deals with husband
and wife. Once Mrs. Woodhouse
got started . . . well, here's the
choicest details! Mr. Woodhouse is
a fiend for football and tennis. An
observer watching the touch foot
ball games on Ilobbs Field can't
help noticing the dodging legs of a
seemingly uuathletie halfback, as lie
dances past would-be tacklers. The
tacklers, she added, are frozen into
submission by the inevitable therat
of meeting Mr. Woodhouse in class.
In his undergraduates days, he was
a member of the debating and ten
nis teams. His interest in dra
matics came to a climax when he
had a half minute walk-on role in
King' Lear. Again she added, "The
play was a great success" . . . one
wonders why?
Mrs. Wqpdhouse is interested in
Girl Scout activities and once was
a bona-f.de member of the ('amp
tire Girls. Before qualifying for
this senior organizatoin, she be
longed lo the Blue Bird Club, which
is equivalent to the famous Cub
Scouts of America. Although she
boasts of playing a wicked game of
golf, her husband is quick to point
out that Byron Nelson is still king
of the links . . . and will continue
to reign, in spite of the game score
she talks about incestantly. Hut a
woman must have the last word and
without batting an eye she said, "lie
played the lead in 'Henry Aldrich,'
a part which still plays havoc with
liis daily activities. . . ."
And so 1 took leave of the golfer
and frustrated Barrymore, only to
run smack into an arrowhead
(which found me to be quite an en
viable target) . . . l>r. Newlin starts
his classes with a series of lectures
on the various Indian tribes In east
ern states and in the commonwealth
of North Carolina. This fondness
for Indian lore can be traced back
to his boyhood days, when he col
lected arrowheads and bows. Some
of these arrowheads are very valu
able . . . since they were found in
the dreamland of anthropologists,
namely : . . . the bleak, barren wild
erness of an area called Virginia.
(Continued Next Issue)
THE GUILFORDIAN
Editorially Speaking . . .
By the time this issue of THE GUILFORDIAN rolls off the press,
almost every student 011 the campus will have been approached
by members of the faculty and heads of the Men's and Women's
Student Government. These group discussions were greatly
needed to clarify a few of the rules on the campus ... a few
rules which we the students have not been adhering to.
One of the foremost issues concerned the abuse of the honor
system ... it is hoped that the words, "Trust cannot be gained
overnight but may be lost" will not be forgotten.
Another current problem discussed was that of the actions of
couples in and around the vicinity of Founders Hall ... it is
not a grave situation . . . but improvements can be made ... if
the parlors are not to be used in the evening during dating hours,
then they should be locked.
The non-smoking rule around the campus was again brought
to light ... it is a traditional rule at Guilford that smoking be
prohibited . . . "light the lantern around Cox and Archdale."
It is your writer's opinion that a closer relation should be
established between the dining hall and the athletic department
. . . our guests the other night had great difficulty in securing
that "after the game" meal which is always given to visitors.
Pro's and Con's ... a salute to the men in Archdale in their
effort to bring back a little spirit to the Guilford campus ... a
plan is already under way to open the spare room in Archdale
for recreational activities . . . dead against the idea of the "Bar
ney Oldfield" drivers who persist in driving on the campus . . .
the Veterans' contribution to the Greensboro Memorial drive was
a feather in their cap . . . how about setting aside one Saturday
afternoon in the near future for a campus clean-up drive? A
little effort on the part of several hundred would ready the area
for spring . . . thanks to the efforts of the administratoin in
helping the dining hall crisis . . . terrific scorns to the refereeing
in recent basketball games. Can't letters be written to the league
headquarters ?
Deepest appreciation to those students who donated to the
purse which sent Melvin Willis on his way home to attend the
funeral of his mother. Our heartfelt sympathy, Melvin.

Should the Tail Wag the Dog?
A few things have happened during these past few weeks which
make us wonder exactly what an education is supposed to accom
plish. Until a few years ago it was conventional to study in
college for four years and then leave with a degree, ready and
eager to make a mark in the outer world.
Whatever degrees of idealism we may possess, the fact remains
that we all hope some day to have a wealth that is of material
value. An A.B. or B.S. previously was a kind of stepping stone
toward a responsible position and, if the individual was ambi
tious. marked that man for potential executive abilities and a
comfortable salary.
We wonder what the founders of Georgia College would say
if they learned that one of their alumni had signed a contract
with a corporation which will pay him $25,000 for four to five
months' work per annum during the next four years —and with
all probability of raising that yearly sum to between $50,000 and
$75,000 —as a result of .an "extra-curricular" activity—football!
Understand that we do not deplore this sort of college training.
Rather, we congratulate the individual concerned, for he is a boy
who came from a poor family and fought for every bit of the
wealth and security he has attained. It is no discredit to him or
any of his college friends that be should realize such a profit
from his degree. He is right in taking every advantage of the
opportunties offered.
But has a student in a military academy the right to ask a
leave of absence so that be might take equal advantage of a repu
tation gained on the gridiron? Should be be allowed to receive
a comprehensive general education at the expense of the govern
ment, a salary of S7BO a year, subsistence and allowance of S3OO
for uniforms and other expenses—and then evade the obligation
he owes the government in return?
There the line should be drawn and convention strictly adhered
to, for that man has already signed bis contract —a contract that
calls for eight years of service to his country. Why should he be
allowed to make thousands of dollars while his fellow classmen
march through Europe? Secretary of War Patterson should be
commended on his refusal of leaves of absence for this type
request; but at the same time it is almost deplorable that he even
considered such a request at all. W. L. K.
Reviews and Previews
By Benny Brown
Raymond Chandler's "Lady In
The Lake" introduces to the screen
a new technique for maintaining
realistic thrills and suspense. The
camera plays the part of Chandler's
detective, Phillip "Marlowe, so that
the ticket buyer lights with the
villain, solves the crime, and makes
love to the heroine. When the camera
extends its arm to pick up a cigar
ette or to open a door, it is Robert
Montgomery's hand you see. The
only time he is shown is when, at
the beginning of the film, Mont
gomery explains briefly what it is
all about, and when his reflection
is seen in a mirror. Audry Trotter
is the girl who kisses the camera.
Ernest Hemingway's novels have
been the source of several excellent
movies. Recently two films have been
released based on his short stories.
The first, "Tht> Killers," is Heming
way's famous story of gangland
treachery which makes tense film
melodramas. The second is taken
from "The Short Happy Life of
Francis Macomber," and its title
has been changed to "The Macomber
Affair." Starred in this story based
on Africa's big game hunters are
Gregory Peck, Joan Rennett and
Robert Preston.
Humphrey Rogart, whose latest
films have cast him with Lauren
Racall, plays opposite Lizabeth
Scott in his most recent movie.
"Dead Reckoning." If Lizabeth Scott
doesn't make moviegoers forget there
ever was a Racall it will be because
they prefer girs less beautiful, less
talented, and with less sex appeal.
Rut Racall looks enough like Scott
to play all of Scott's hangover
scenes.

Ever since his buddy Jack Hunt
got a new Chrysler, Charlotte Ed
wards 110 longer has time for him.
FACE: Jimmy Nantz
Midge Ridge is still giving him
a very hard time. For example, she
went to a weekday intermural bas
ketball game with Jim and while
he was observing other things, she
took off with Walt Moon. Jim had
t make a fast dash to catch up with
them.
FACE: Walt Moon
Though he has been pouring out
his heart-troubles to BG Edwards,
we have been told to keep an eye
out. for a deal covering Schrum's
gal Marie Elliot. Walt has been
recognized as one of the boys on
campus who definitely needs "help."
FACE: Reducing Class.

FACE: David "Gismo" Fergersou
From Detroit, he's your competi
tion for Barbara Pierson, boys. But
of course, absence makes the heart
grow fonder . . . for someone else.
KOIND-IP:
Harold Atwood has taken over
Howie Kaufman's blonde.
Bob Benhow was feeding extra
containers of milk to Katz's face,
but she's tossed him 'cause she
"doesn't want to get serious."
Roy Christianson was a tragic
figure cause he couldn't date Pris
Nichols who was restricted for ONE
long day for dating during exams.
Bib Hare caught them.
Nicaragua" and "That's the Begin
ing of the End."
Benny Goodman's clarinet gets a
good workout in "Mora Staccato"
which was originally written by Ilei
t'ctz for his vioin. On the flip-over
Eve Young does a good job in the
vocals for "Man Here Plays Fine
Piano."
The rich harmonics of the Lies
Brown aggregation make "My Num
ber One Dream Came True" and
"You Should Have Told Me" good
listening. The soft tenor sax parts
help to carry the first number and
Doris Day's vocalizing on both sides
is excellent.
Woody Herman's latest recordings
are "Stars Fell on Alabama" and
"Sidewalks of Cuba." The latter
is all instrumental with a touch of
South American Rhythm.
Gene Kruppji has recorded "There
is no Breez" and "Aren't You Kind
of Glad We Did" for Columbia. This
is one of the best popular records
out at this date.
