Riddick Alma Lassiter Troy Short SUBSCRIPTION PRICE SI.OO Address all communications to THE GUILFORDIAN Guilford College, N. C. COMPULSION. "Everything is compulsory! Wo have to go to church; we have to go to every lecture; we have to go to chapel every morning; we have to go to Sunday school; and we are not allowed to miss a class without going through a lot of red tape. 1 do wish that we did not have to attend all of these things. Of course 1 would go any way, but 1 would get so much more out of it if I did not feel that 1 was conforming to some regulation." These are 'remarks that are frequently heard from some member of the student body. Thanksgiving Sunday we had a chance to show what we would really do if allowed to go by our own inclinations. What happen ed? More than one of us was not found in his regular place at church. This is what would hap pen every Sunday if church were not compulsory. It may be true that sometimes we do not get much out of the service, but what is the trouble? The fault is usually with the indi vidual. If we do not put any thing into the worship we certain ly will not be greatly benefited by having attended it. Some say that all have to suf fer for a few, but does compul sory church really affect those who would go anyway? The same thing is true of the other college restrictions. The Faculty makes these rules for those students who would not attend without them. If you do not like them they must affect you. In which class do you belong? CALENDAR.

(Publication of letters does not neces sarily imply that their sentiments are endorsed by the Board.) Library Selfishness. "Yes, I have that "reserved' hook. I forgot to bring it, but will do so next time 1 come." Were our Library supplied with many copies of each of the books which the teachers from time to lime "reserve," perhaps there would be no opportunity for man ifesting our thoughtfulness (or lack of it) for others. As it is when al 1 the members of a club or of a class or a debating team or a literary society are sure to want a certain set of books, if they keep ii] with the work which that club or class, etc., is doing—and one member takes those books for his or her own use and stows them away in their room, what can one term such conduct but selfishness? When an individual is given spe cial privilege to take a "reserved" book out during "closed hours" can such an one afford to abuse that privilege? Is it a reasonable excuse to say "I forgot," when you are jeopardizing some one else on a possible "D," or at least a failure to get "A"? There is no place on the cam pus better adapted to study than the Library. It is light, airy quiet, and the Librarian makes an effort to keep the working ma terial at command unless thwart ed as above indicated. And suppose you are very much wanting to read some of the new fiction which is added occasional ly—and some one keeps it the full two weeks' limit? Put yourself in either place and study the sit uation. Again, when the teachers keep indefinitely the very best refer ence material on given lines, are they fair to the students who wish to make investigations on those subjects? The matter of registering mate rial taken from the Library is seemingly a very small matter and yet a failure in this regard makes much difficulty sometimes in tracing a book when it is al most imperative that it should be on the Library shelves. To regis ter the book does not mean a dis trust of the individual, but rather to keep in touch with the material of the Library. There is yet one more point in this matter of selfishness. It has been stated that the Beading Boom is quiet, and such it is in the main except at the end and be- THE GUILFORDIAN "Get It At OdeH's" Quality First Base Ball, Basket Ball, Tennis, Track and Gym Supplies Sweaters, Jerseys and Athlectic Clothing A Specialty Odell Hardware Company Greensboro, N.

How ever, there are some who seem to love to take a seat as far away as possible from the material which they are using and so unduly pa rade the room and forget that they are thus disturbing the quiet. And those who must talk if they can get any one to talk to, are also unmindful of those to whom they speak and who more than likely do not wish to be disturbed as well as every other person in the room. This is written that we may "see ourselves as others see us' and "mend our ways." S. Mr. Wilbur Jovner, a former student, spent last Saturday night and Sunday here, the guest of friends.
