Page Four Al Umnus Says Time and Guilford Eternal EDITOR'S NOTE: Mr. Al I minis is tli** pseudonym for a graduate who was a regular columnist on our stalV for over two years. HP is presently studying llic human side of hu mans at a distant school. Those who remember his eolumns should have little dillieult.v re membering his real name which is not given here for reasons various and sundry. Scum and Some . . . By Al Umnus I look at Gilda. You remember her. Gilda, pari Iledy I.amarr, pari . Lana Turner, and the rest, the: stulT you i>ut in your coffee after j you add cream. Sure, you remember I Jier. Me dirt-digging partner, me slave, me liarein in one number, me | pigeon. Yell, I look at Gilda. Then I ease out a long sigh. ••'S'matter, boss."

And when 1 ask a simple question, turn the heart deal to Motherly Attitude-Kxtr;i-Sympathe tic, all I get is, "Nothin"." Temper always throws a sunset in her eyes. The blazing kind. "I was thinking, baby," 1 an swer." Bringing cats and empty milk bottles in and winding the clock backwards. The cob-web splnning-thc spider sort of thing. Let's get out of here!" The air smells cleaner outside, and down the street a baby whirl wind plays with a rattler of leaves. I hear Gilda's feet crunching the sandy sidewalk, light and gentle. Turn left, then right and on. Grass now, blenching brown with green roots. We come to a monument to somebody and stop and sit on it base. Across the park, street liglit gtiard a 'thoroughfare. Ilebind one, is a maple, beautifully strip teas ing. A glitter of ri'il and gold and green caught half-lifted in air. And suddenly I'm thinking of other maples. Hipping the memory pages backward faster now to last year, the one before that and furth er. Another school, another place. I forget Gilda. the monument, tliej park, as if I had stretched one j hand across the miles and touched something like—gold and followed, amoeba—like, that hand. I 'could see it plainly now. The kiss-me-quick-tree, the fader, drab entrance to King, the magnolias in front of Founders. My old room. j my roommate, my friends. The walks with shower bath slabs when j it rained. Slull'ed peppers, always stuffed poppers. The plot of seeded red mud they called "Parson's Folly." The rasping dry throats of water faucets. The barn burning, the games when hearts ran liiirli and temperatures low. The gossipy friendliness so complete that every one knew even when yon changed underwear. The span of distant hills, the busted dam, tin* water tower. Hat Court and The Sacred GUILFORD DAIRY MILK BAR W. Market St. Kxt. MI I.KSII A K l-:S .

And all the beloved characters, faculty and students who created such, intermingled like spice. I feel warm lingers clasping mine and I remember Hilda. I look at Her, and even in Ihe dimness, her eyes are shiny. I hope the fact I've got a cold takes care of the wetness in mine. We get up and I light a fag while she watches inc.

Basketballers Work Out Txist Friln.v the Guilford College I basket hal 'team scrimmaged against j the cadets from Oak Kidgc .Military j School. The Quakers, led hy Mann with 11 points, came out on the i long end of a 50-44 score. The (Junkers, who led hy only j two points cit half time, put on tin- ' pressure in the second half, and outscored the Cadets hy 10 points in this period. In winning this game, the Quak- \ ers did not look very impressive. In ' considering the short time they have i been working out, however, they did ! .'is well as could he expected. This scrimmage against the small hut ! scrappy and fast Oak Kidge team showed Coach Paul Lent/, the phases of the game lie will have to strength en. It also showed that O'(P Hoh Woodall will he of much help on retrieving rebounds. Woodall is also pretty deadly with a push shot from around the foul circle. Some other boys who look like they might help the Quaker basket ball cause are Karl Tyson and Hill Osteen. These two will prohabl\ be moved up from the .1. V. team. Mann. Woodall. Tyson and Osteon, along with last year's leaders, Rtalls. Johns. Venahle. Hall, Perrell, tow ard and Wright, and Klkins who is returning after a year's absence, may prove to be one of the North State Conference's top basketball combinations.

The reso lution, along with other rules and regulations, lias been put into a new administrative handbook that will lie issued to all students this year. The resolution says, in effect, that any student who is charged with cheating has committed an act of dishonesty against the university, and therefore he will he dealt with by the discipline committee rather than the individual professor con cerned. The student will be turned | over to the committee after the pro- I'e-sor has reported the case to the ppr priate dean. I Dean Itaymoml Witliey, who an nounced tlie measure, pointed out I that in the past there have been I unfair situations in which the pun t isluncnt for two different students ! lias varied for the same offense.
