In fact the most of them are decidedly un interesting—no one reads them; they serve simply to fill a certain place in a newssheet. But if you have neither time nor inclination to look this column over after this week please give the fol lowing request your attention. Let the Business Manager have your subscription to the "Guilford ian"—why? Certainly not because it is anything unusual in the way of a college weekly, nor because it fills any special need which you may have for reading matter. Beyond doubt you could pursue your college course very successfully without ever having known that such a publication is put out at this institution. But—you are a college patriot, you claim the Crimson and Grey as your college colors, and as a Guil ford student worthy of the name, it becomes your duty and privilege to lend your support to every enterprise which represents your college. The "Guilfordian" needs the active co-operation of every loyal, thoro going college student on the Quaker campus. So give us your name as a subscriber, and then let us have your best efforts in the way of contribu tions, suggestions and criticisms. If there is some feature of the paper which you especially dislike, some improvement which you care to sug gest, above all tilings do not keep your concern to yourself, and bo con tent to look on in silent disapproval. Your ideas are as good as anybody's, perhaps better! Let's have them! After having shown your patriot ism by entering your name on the subscription list look the advertisers over carefully. See what business men help to keep up the financial side of your weekly. Then show your appreciation of their aid by giving them your patronage. It is most certainly a poor rule which does not work both ways. Subscribe —contribute patronize the ads. Such another orderly, well-be haved, hard-working lot of new stu dents would be hard to find. Perhaps some of the old boys are wishing that the need for instruction along lines of conduct were a little more pronounced. WAR NEWS. Female Nimrod Slays Ferocious Beast. Those still small hours just before dawn so often used by the Germans and Allies for surprise assaults were selected by a certain rat (Mus norve gins), now deceased, to attack the peaceful and unsuspecting inhabi tants of Founders Hall. The rat had planned to attack the enemy in the weakest point in his line and here he made the first great tactical error, he hadn't reckoned on Miss Edwards. The food problem was really the ulti mate cause of the declaration of hos tilities and the battle began with a determined assault by the rat on the commissary department, which was then carefully treasuring the results of a recent trip to Hodgins. Miss Edwards opened fire with a copy of Cicero and followed with a 42 centi metre Latin Dictionary. The rat realizing the difficulty of bucking up against Latin began to execute a strategical retreat. Miss Edwards then charged behind a heavy barrage fire of shoes, bureau drawers, nail files, and Latin exple tives. Instead of a bayonet she car ried a broom and so deadly was her work that plans are already on foot to equip the new American army with brooms. The rat, needless to say, died in his tracks. An autopsy failed to determine whether he died of his wounds or was just scared to death. Miss Edwards was ably supported by a reserve division, consisting of Miss Anne Shamburger. The other inhab itants of the building after recover ing from a state of nervous collapse caused by the unearthly uproar ad vancd to the scene in time to congrat ulate the victor and gather a few souvenirs from the wreckage and confusion. The rat was buried with full military honors. FACULTY ELECTS MARSHALS. At a recent meeting of the faculty the following members of the Junior class were elected marshals for the year: D. D. Shields Cameron, chief; Paul Fitzgerald, Charles Shelton, Ruth Coltrane, Eula Hockett. Plans are on foot to obtain suitable regalia to enhance the dignity of the posi tion. THE C.UILFORDIAN WEBSTERIANS APPROVE INSUR ANCE PLAN. On Friday evening, the 21st of September, the Websterians met to discuss the question, "Resolved, that the present system of pensioning sol diers should be replaced by the pro posed plan of insurance." On ac count of other duties several of the students, both old and new, were away from the college. As a conse quence the attendance was not so good as usual, and the program was necessarily made short. C. M. Macon argued the affirmative side of the question for debate, and showed that the pensioning system is corrupt, and that the system of in surance would be more economical, and would finally elevate the stand ard of society. For the opposition, H. N. Williard pointed to the success of pensions at the present time; that the plan offer ed would be too expensive, and that this is not a time for experimenta tion. However the judges, Gilbreth and Williams, gave their decision in favor of the affirmative. The final part of the program was an entertainment by Sam Smith and Ira Hinshaw in the form of an ex temporaneous debate. Shields Cameron was elected as a member of the debating council to fill the vacancy incurred by the failure of one of the members to return to col lege. You Can Have That Picture Made at Home.
