Progress on S.C.A.
Project
By DICK BROWN
When the entire Freshman Class
and a great proportion ot tne
Ijpperclassinen were asxed to am
in tne Chapel-Ampliitheatre lake
project baturuay aiternoon anu
oniy a lianuiul or men were present
to worx, 1 tnniK it can rigiitruiiy
be said tnat among tnose present,
witn special rererence to iresnmen,
are tne potential leauers ot tile
Guihortl College student body.
Tne btudent Christian Association
and THE LUILFOIU>IAN wish to ex
press their appreciation to those
men, who, for two and one iiai.
hours worked vigorously and con
scientiously, digging post holes,
placing posts, ana cutting down the
grass around the beach tront and
the road shore line. The names ot
the personnel who worked on the
lake are as lollows: Charles H. At
kinson, David Hardin, Bob Isko
witz, Tom Jessup, Jim Martin,
Roger Redman, Alcott Smith, BOD
Stanger, Samuel O. Walker, Jr.,
and Phillip L. Welch. With Mr.
Coble supervising, we not only got
some work done, but also created
an atmosphere of friendship as we
all came to know one another.
Next Saturday comes the big job.
It is not going to be difficult, but
it will require as many students as
possible—both men and women.
Mr. Coble has promised to have
the Bermuda grass sod cut, and our
job will be to lay it on the tiers
making up the Chapel. If we stu-.
dents want to feel that we have
really contributed something to the
college and also create a lasting
friendship with each other as we
share in working together, then 1
sincerely think we should support
this project.
On Saturday afternoon, at one
thirty, we will meet on" the patio
of the Student Union Building in
work clothes. As was done before,
there will be a committee to serve
refreshments as the work pro
gresses. Please come otit and work,
make some new friends, and you
will return to your doim with a
great deal of satisfaction in seeing
a job completed in a chapel and
ampitheatre that we cjto share to
gether for many years.
Why Not?
Why not have a student organi
zation such as was never seen on
the Cuiltord campus? We have the
potential for a highly successful
year. Everything lies before us,
there for the taking. The elected
leaders are full of enthusiasm. A
loundation for strong school spirit
nas been laid.
Why not get in on the Guilfordi
an's Moustache Contest? Show
everybody that you've the spirit
and willingness to make this year
an unforgettable one.
Why not have an amphitheatre
at the lake? If you'll come out and
work, we will! No time? Why the
time you'll save not shaving will
be more than enough to compen
sate for time spent down by the
lake.
Why not make Homecoming
Day a time to remember? Combine
imagination and hard work into
originative dorm decorations and
fancy floats for half-time.
Why not show a good sense of
values? The most definite sign of
maturity is consideration for others.
A suggestion for solving the prob
lem of parking on the circle and
the grass has been made. "Restrict
the privilege of operating automo
biles to Juniors and Seniors!" Even
if you are a Junior or Senior, you
too can find other space for parking
your car.
Why not? It's up to you. If
nothing happens, it's because
you've done nothing!
—R. S.

MEETING OF W.S.G.
(Continued from, page one)
placement could be elected by the
women students.
The three girls nominated were
Clara Montgomery, Janet Smith,
and Claudette Belton. It was de
cided that the election would take
place at the mass meeting to be
neld on the following evening.
At seven-thirty Friday night, all
women students, with very few
excused, met informally in the
large hall of the Student Union
building. President Anne Rae
Thomas welcomed them and intro
duced Miss Davis to them. The
Dean then spoke to them of her
ideas of self government and
placed the responsibility of the
success or failure of their govern
ment with them, depending on the
sincerity with which they followed
the honor system.
She spoke of other schools
where the honor system was not in
practice and described the situa
tion of those campuses. The pic
ture, in her opinion, was pretty
bad and not at all desirable. She
asked for the co-operation of all
women students, since they were
all automatic members of the
Women's Student Government, in
maintaining a good government,
and making Guilford College a
school to be proud of.
The election for treasurer was
held at that time by the upper
classmen, and a counting of hands
showed that the majority of
women students preferred Janet
Smith as their treasurer.
At eight-fifteen the meeting
which had brought all women stu
dents together for one of the few
such occasions ended, and the
women returned to their varfous
dormitories, with the speech of
their Dean still on their minds.

Solving the "X"
By ANDY MCGLAMERY
The ten-fifteen bell weakly sig
naled the end ol the second class
ot the day. Voices rose aDove tne
scraping ol desk legs, and into the
halls poured a swarming mass ol
beards, lipsticks, khaki pants and
cashmeres. There were laughing
laces, smiling laces, sad faces, and
Irowning laces. One beardless face
stood out like a sore thumb. His
face wore an expression of utter
and complete despair, and the blue
eyes burned with hate and con
tempt. In despair the despondent
'day hop" threw himself down on
the rear steps of King Hall and
took from his battered Math book
a sheet of paper on which was
copied a problem. It read some
thing like this:
"A ten-pound bucket of fifteen
penny nails was dropped from the
window of a law firm, located in a
brick building, at three o'clock in
the afternoon. If each nail fell at
the rate of 13 feet per second,
how high was the building?"
Obviously the poor fellow had a
weak background in mathematics.
Anyone with a basic working
knowledge of Math could see that
by finding the proportion between
the ten-pound bucket and the
speed of the fifteen-penny nails,
the height of the building could
easily be found.
If you are also stumped with a
problem of higher mathematics,
feel free to call on this depart
ment for assistance.

One should be fearful only of those
things
Which have the power to harm
one's fellowman—
Not of the rest, which give no
cause for fear. — The Divine

Hill and Dale
By DALE EMBRICK
Hello, it's good to talk to you.
Oh, pardon me; may I introduce
my partner? His name is Hill ana
1 believe you will enjoy knowing
him. He's a very nice little fel
low and, in addition to being my
cell mate this semester, he is also
a big help to me. By the way, my
name is Dale. What's yours?
What's that, you say your name
is A. Reader? Well, I'm very
pleased to know you. Do you
always read this paper? I hope you
do because we d like to get to
know you better. Hill and I are
going to be right here in this
column every week and we do
hope you'll drop in.
Excuse me. Yes, Hill, I'll tell
them!
Hill's been tugging at my coat
sleeve; it seems he is all exciteu
over the new Student Union Build
ing and its facilities. He says he
can't wait for the new soda foun
tain to open because he's getting
tired of having to walk to the
corner every time he wants some
ice cream or a soda.
Talking about soda fountains, a
funny thing happened to me the
other day. I was walking toward
the gymnasium from Founders
Hall and there was something that
just didn't look right. I stopped for
a minute and suddenly realized
that the old soda shop had com
pletely disappeared and in its
place is nothing but a smooth plot
of ground sown to grass. In a way
I'm glad it's gone because it was
an eyesore and there was no more
use for it anyhow.
Say, wasn't the gymnasium nice
ly decorated for the Freshman
Reception? It occurred to me that
there should be more effort on the
part of the upperclassmen to make
the Freshmen feel a little more
comfortable. I thought it was just
too bad that everyone left by
eleven o'clock and the orchestra
had to play for itself until eleven
thirty.
Extra-curricular activities are
just swinging into high gear as you
can see by the notices posted
everywhere for meetings of all
types. By the way, while we're on
the subject of extra-curricular
activities, Hill mentioned that
he overheard some members of
the Dramatic Council discussing
George Bernard Shaw's plays. I
wonder if the Reveler's Club
might put on a Shaw play for its
fall production? This year is
Shaw's 100 th anniversary, you
know.
Well, I hate to cut this tete-a
-tete short but Hill has some
homework that he wants me to
help him with. He's a freshman,
you see, and he is having so much
trouble with those nasty fresh
man courses!
. . .See you next week, Dale.
The Individual
Have you ever found identical places,
Or seen two startlingly similar faces?
Some people think it very odd
That peas should differ within a pod.
I have a character all my own
And for myself I shall be known.
How horrifying it would be
To find another just like me.
The thing that I like most to see
Is individuality.

Your Rumormate
By BARBARA JINNETTE
Sylvia Fee, Peggy Hawley, and
Marva Bowen now step out with
the left hand forward since a
sparkler has been added on the
third finger. Best Wishes!
Wouldnt it be nice if someone
gave Herman Clark a jar of cold
cream?
It seems that w.e now have a
goodwill ambassador" to the
Orient in our midst.
That old song, "Daddy-O,
seems to be regaining popularity
in a certain circle on campus.
Speaking of engagement rings,
mother one or two will be seen on
he campus November or Decem
ber.
The rumor is that Guilford's two
famous redheads are finally get
ing together again.
At the same time, one of the
licest couples we know has called
it quits..
Why doesn't some campus girl
'atch on to Shelton?
One of those popular Hobbs
has been having some trouble
vith dates—two showed up on the

Does our sports editor ever con
act the Guilford grad who is now
i student at Tulane?
FEMALE MUSTACHE
MUSING
(Continued from page one)
is different. Wouldn't this give our
campus some atmosphere! The
question is, do we need it? That
is rather obvious to you men?
To describe this unusual con
test, if it be well participated, I
must use such words as intriguing,
"sophisticated" (to quote our edi
tor), different (to say the least), and
surely it must be lots of fun!
Groucho Marx depends on his
cigar and wit for his status of
:ame in the entertainment world,
but I don't think he would be half
is well known if he didnt have
the one other trademark so
widely advertised on every pic
ture of him.
In case you are wondering to
vhat I am referring (I should hope
/ou have already arrived at the
conclusion.) I am talking about a
MUSTACHE. Men, you too can
be distinguished above all the rest
)f your kind on this campus. All
/ou need to do, and you neces
sarily do it anyway if you don't
shave, is to grow a MUSTACHE.
So, men, do begin today and
show us that you've got some com
peting spirit and we do want
something new to be on this cam
ous once in a while to provide us
with some interest.
P. S. To all women who would
like to join this contest, all we
ask is that you do it to the best of
your ability.
