PUBLICITY
The business of advertising hrs
grown to be a fine art, and figured in
dollars and cents is so great as to
place it among the most important of
the nation's activities. To bring to
the attention of the public and display
in an aitr. ctive manner ones wares re
quires great skill. In the commercial
world advertising in a powerful and
legitimate force, and the postage on
it aggregates $30,000,000 annually.
In advertising has proved so valuable
commerci. lly it should have its value
in other lines of work. The power of
suggestion is a force that is beginning
to be understood and used.
Only a short time ago the news
was hearalded abroad that Guilford
had 54 students who passed less than
nine hours of work. The student body
was flayed as being shiftless, indolent
and in f ct generally unworthy of a
place in any college. At the same
time another college in our state
broadcast the fac! that 54% of the
95 members of its Senior class made
9Q c /c on their general average, 15
made a per cent of 95 or higher, 8
were above 97 rnd 3 above 98.
With little thought of the meaning
of grade- the public congratulates the
recipients of these marks. It gives no
thought to ihe fact a mark of 95 is
one college may mean no more than
85 in another. It is doubtful if such
high grades would be given by any
member of the Guilford faculty, for
98 and above is perilously ne r per
fection. but there are many fine stu
dents going daily in and out of the
class rooms at Gui'ford.
Guilford College needs a live cam
paign for FAVORABLE publicity.
There are good things galore to be said
of the faculty and student body, and
the public should know them. Within
a r dius of 30 miles of Guilford there
are hundreds who ask in dismay when
Guilford is accidentally mentioned,
"Where is that college?'
Publicity is needed, not to increase
the enrollment, hut to create a favor
able attitude of mind on the part of
the general public.
What Guilfrod needs is a waiting list
fo that the student body m y lie pick
ed and chosen. Then will there be no
chance for odious camparisons, ofr
with a well selected student body the
number of failures will lie negligible.
THANKS
Again, the question has been asked.
How did -he do it? Guilford College
has alwavs been noted for making a
success of everything she undertakes,
and the recent Intercollegiate Press
Convention dds another success to
her reputalion.
It is quite an undertaking for a col
lege with 285 students, and with dor
mitory space for only 300, to attempt
to entertain M) delegates representing
15 different North Carolina colleges.
It would indeed be absurd for the
Guilfordian board or any of its
officers to have the temerity to assume
the credit for the success of the con-
vent ion. Although, the automobiles,
picture shows, banquets, helped to
make everyone have good time, the
visitors will not remember Guilford
College in any such way. The person
al interest and hospitality shown by
the Guilf ird students is the one thing
will always be remembered.
The Guilfordian wishes to take this i
opportunity to thank the dining room |
committee for their co-operation in j
serving i.ieals, and all those who con
tributed in any way to the success of i
the convention.
FRUITS OF FOOTBALL
"Gr. iiiland Rice, sports writer for
Collier's, in. intains that the case for
football i~ much stronger than the one
against it.
'ls modern football injurious, either
mentally or physically? Here is a
game which calls for drudgery, disci
pline. and hard work, three of the most
important things in life. Here is a
game that calls for loyalty, service,
and team play, for clean living and
fine spirit. It is a game that demands
quick thinking under file, a game th. t
builds up confidence and control of
self.
'From the student's angle, the player
today must have completed a year in
college and maintained a high stand
ard before he is able to play in his
sophomore year. And then, to contin
ue to ph y, he must keep his work to
a degree above the average—So foot
ball, to a certain extent, puts a pre
mium 011 scholastic ability—
' What does the college want—more
male flappers, more tea hounds, more
booze artists, more joy riders?
'Existence, with all the money about
. nd all the modern luxuries, is getting
too soft as it is. Football isn't per
fect, under our present system, it has
its faults, and it must still be watched,
guarded, and improved. It is some
what over-organized; too much or
ganized scouting of rival teams: too
large coaching staffs. Victory and de
feat re too important. The public
must be kept on the outside, for it
isn't the public's game.
Football enthusiasts have done con
siderable research in support of the
contention that football and scholar
ship are not mutually exclusive inter
ests in college. How about the claims
m de by Mr. Rice anil others that
this sport develops qu'ck thinking, self
control. confiedence, loyalty, service,
and team play, that is. that it is mor
ally educative and stimulating? We
,-uggest that somebody who has time
lo do it investigate the postgraduate
careers of a considerable group of foot-
I) II stars. Are they men notable for
the qualities named above as compared
with other groups? Such a finding
wou'il c'ne the case, would it not?
We all know football stars who
never recovered from the abnormal
egoism born of campus adulation. Vt e
all know men whose health has been
•eriouslv affected by the tragical let
down from strenuous football regime
o the normal routine of postgraduate
life. How about these other and finer
f nits of the sport?
We do not sa;. that football needs
justification such as that suggested,
fint there are so many people who
think that it must be either justified
or restrained, that it is first of all
necess ry that the arguments pro and
con be clarified of bunk and pretense
if the tremendous issues involved are
to be fairly judged."— What the Col
leges are Doing.
It is I'rof. Ofergo.-h Sakes, of the
Detroit News, to whom is attribut-
I the iliscorvery that, if you took all
the pretzels in the world and put
them in a straight line, you couldn I
do it. Now it has been figured out
how many times, i.f all the chewing
211111 manufactured in year was
placed end to end. it would reach
around the earth. In statistics of this
kind it strikes Ye paraprapher that a
good deal depends on whaddaya mean
chewing gum—chewed or unchewed?
. If i ll the gum chewed last year except
what was dropped and had to be
scraped off shoe soles had been stuck
on the tops of tables, chairs and desks
instead of the bottoms of them, it
j would look like the dickens.

THE GUILFORDIAN
OPEN FORUM
lIOW ABOUT AN ANNUAL?
Nol since the Spring 1924 has Guil
"ord College published an annual,
lust why we are the only institution
)1 any size in the State not to publish
me is a question th. t can be answer
ed only with some embarassmenl.
It is true that Guilford has a small
student body but the reason does not
lie in that fact. Many small institu
ions publish good annuals. For ex
imple, Elon anl Lenoir-Rhyne in this
State. If enough people on the cam
pus would t; ke an active interest in
in undertaking, Guilford w -uld be
ibreast with the times in that eepect.
Nothing can take the place of an
innual in maintaining loyalty among
ilumni. Something tangible, contain
ng a written record of years in col
lege. possessed by every old student,
would strengthen their relations with
Guilford in future years. It would be
in archive of school activites and a
'who's who" of student life. Guilford
loes all too little up-to-date advertis
ing as it is, and every year that we
io not publish an annual, we are prov
ng ourselves either to be 100 kzy to
mblish one, incapable of publishing
me or too poor to publish one. Some
inswer the situation with the first two
heories but 1 will limit myself to the
;onsideration of the third. The annual
)f 1924 was a financial success accord
ing to William Blair, the business
nanager.
