Such editorial expression is effective if it comes from an independent, free, solvert newspaper, which has won the confidence of its field and is beyond the reach of selfish interests."—Arthur C. Johnson Tribute To Miss Marlette "Are the Guilford women so hard to manage and so finicky about who has the final say on all their doings that it is impossible to keep one Dean of Women who satisfies and is satisfied for any length of time at Guilford?" This question has been raised by faculty and students alike, has been pro'd and eon'd repeatedly, and the answer, prior to this fall term, unknown. But, with September and the opening of school came Miss Mil dred Marlette to supervise the women students. Her picture and a slight bit of information appeared in the Freshman Bulletin, and during the first week there was much speculation among the Founders and Mary Hobbs girls as to "how this one will turn out." But, Miss Marlette proved during the month of Septembei just how the situation would be. When the boys were having their annual "freshman initiation' one night and were ordered to serenade the women's dorms, there was quite a bit of racket going on inside as well as out. One ol the girls met the new Dean in the hall of Founders (well at'tci 11:00) and asked, timidly, "Just what is going on out there'/' She (Miss M.) sighed, smiled with resignation, and said, "Fresh man initiation." To her, it was obviously something that had t wear itself out and although the sooner the better, she let it ride Many girls who, in other years, quaked at the thought of going to the Dean's office, now stop in to talk to Miss Marlette of theii own accord. She is understanding without being gushy, and ha: as quick a wit as any girl on campus. I wonder if she realize how much the Founders girls appreciate her tact in absenting herself after the "five of" bell rings at night. This practice make them realize that she trusts them to see to it that no men are ii the halls late, and they do not feel that someone is constant); "watching over" them. B. A. P. Editorially Speaking . . . By the time this issue of THE GUILFOKDIAN rolls off the press every member of the student body and members of the facult, will have been asked to contribute to the annual Community Ches Campaign . . . let's hope that you have all given, and given get erously. A current problem with some of the girls on campus is th inability to get later than 11 o'clock permission after a footba game ... 1 sympathize . . . but doubt if anything will be done. The ban against smoking on campus has been kicked aroun since this column struck its first comma, and for the most par the boys on campus have adhered to it, particularly since laj spring. As you all know, the Soda Shop is a place where studenl gather, get a bite to eat, a coke, and sit back and relax for a fe' seconds from the campus grind. The first thing a fellow wanl when he sits down is a fag ... he looks up and finds a '' No Smol ing" sign staring him in the face. It is hereby hoped that tti proper authorities have noticed the splendid cooperation of tli guys on campus in regards to smoking, and will ease up enoug to make the Soda Shop the place it should l>e . . . Here's a plug for the Vets' Carnival . . . the Veterans have or of the hardest working outfits on campus and deserve a goo turnout. Orchids to Miss Marlette for being so friendly ... it's been long time since a faculty member took a genuine interest in can pus doings. . . . and scallions to the person responsible for the condition i the bathrooms in Cox ... it must be fun to get up in the mornir and decide whether it will lie the gym or Arclidale . . . not mue difference. llow about some extra support for the team? The players lil someone else lies ides the referees watching them knock theinselvi out . . . that goes for the faculty, too. Does the student bod have priority on seats at the Stadium? • * • Deepest sympathy from the students and THE GUII.KORDIAN sta to Sam Lynch on the death of his grandfather.

Betty Roberson . . . and Jase Balls seem to have an interest in common, in each other! That, we grant, is a pretty good beginning. Jeanne Walton didn't take a chance on not finding a fellow after she came to Guilford —played It smart and latched onto Harry John son before she came to ye old insti tution. What's it with Ruily Craven and Wilda Briles?? Boys, you ain't 1 got a chance, 'cause Jean Smith has eyes only for that soldier that comes , to see her all the time.

It doesn't matter who he was. That's not important. The thing that rang the bell was what he said, lie may not hit the honor roll in books, but, in my opinion, lie's on it, in common sense. He was as smart as they come when he said, "In these campus elections you've talking about which are going to be held this year, I'm going to look long and hard at the nominees when 1 see them. I know we freshmen don.'t have a chance to vote for all that yon upperelassmen do, but we'll have our chance at some nominees. Maybe they'll be good lookiug as ail get out, or maybe they'll put Gravel Gertie and B. O. Plenty in the shade, but What they like isn't what's going to matter to ine when I cast my votes. It's what they've done that I can find out by asking around that's going to mat ter. If some of the nominees are going to be really big wheels, I'd like to see them in action and hear what they've got to say for them selves. And I'd like to see those people who have the initiative and ability to fill the jobs, get them." The fellow was right. He wouldn't count too much in the fall elections, but when the spring elections came around, he would. But he has a splendid idea. When he votes, lie won't be satisfied by looking at the Straight From the Horse's Mouth With the first issue of the Guil fordinn, comes the birth of a new column for your pleasure or dis ! pleasure. j A quick coverage of summer school ... of Interest only to the upperclassmen: The polio epidemic hit Carolina i and hit hard this summer. Nothing j worse than a bad scare at Guilford College, thank the Lord. Public parks and lakes closed, throwing Hill George and Tom Bray out of work. Bray claiming it was all one big plot against him. All Guilford inns will remember this summer as the one when the local mailman brought around the famous (or infamous?) "purity letter." The paragraph stating the school's policy on the use of intoxi- Have You Met... Wajech T. W. Dajani Wajech Dajani is from an old Mohammedan family. They have lived in Jerusalem for 800 years and are the custodians of King David's tomb and the place of the Last Supper. Mr. Dajani graduated from the j Al-T'mmah High School in Jeru k saletn. He has had four years of, t college, two at the Universal College I B of Ale.v, in Lebanon, and two at Colorado State College. He arrived in America in Septem r her liMtl. He has seen much of this I country and the world, which is reflected in his interesting answers I to a few questions. e When asked what impressed him n the most since his arrival in Amer ciiica, Dajani said the economic securi s I ty offered to the average American h| family made the biggest impression. s | "I was surprised at the difference il between regulations and restrictions there as compared with other parts e of the United States" was his an II swer to a question pertaining to the it girls' rules on this campus. Dajani said he could not judge 011 the fair ness of the rules, but, he said, "I'm j pretty sure that the girls themselves I would not appreciate very much having chaperones especially when I the chitperone lias no date." ,f | When questioned about coll eg i i,, late sports in America as compared ,1 to those in Jerusalem, he answered ,p "The major collegiate sport here i~ football. At home it is also culled (1 football, but you would call it h soccer." d "Are American girls as pretty as le those at home?" When this question ts was put before him, Dajani smiled le and replied, "You don't care whom you put in a jam, do you?" s " The last question, concerning his " opinion 011 the "New Look." brought " this answer. "First I objected high r - l.v, but I guess now I am accustom '■ ed to it and rather like it."

He knows that underneath these, many times, there lies little else, lies' just hungry to see that people who can handle the various posts, hold them. Maybe what he said won't mean as much to you as it did to pie. But he was one guy I was really glad to see on campus. He's going to go places. He didn't realize it, but he is really an important person, for he is the type who will not only judge carefully and vote likewise, but whom other students will prob ably vote wisely for when he's nominated to a position. He's a fellow who realizes that his votes aren't merely pieces of paper, but figures that tally in a line-up. If he continues in the line he's started, he will be, without his being aware of it, a kind of student, citizen and leader that the U. S. holds a rain check on. Perhaps his votes in years to come will be weapons against in tolerance, injustice and misunder standing, three of the greatest evils in existence. And by his votes, the people whom he helps elect will be not only his leaders, but his servants. To me, he's got the real spark of democracy. To me, he's not only a big part in this college campus, this community—but in America's future. t-utiiifi beverages bud a lot of people confused.

Marshall Presnell pulled the best one in years. After driving through campus in the waning days of SS in a lovely, lovely convertible, he has to end up in a ditch. Instead of being real smart, Form, of all the ears streaming down the high way picks out one with an official looking seal on the side and flags it down. The sad story ends up in court with a kindly judge suspend ing Form's license for twelve months . . . "Oh, what it might have been!" At the end of summer school, we visualized a new science building in front of King and modernized bath | rooms in Cox. Somewhere, some how, something went wrong. The bathrooms . . . oh brother!
