Lecture —Milo Ilinkle Speaks
on Sunday
The eighth annual School of Mis
sions, started in 1022 by William Wolf,
began Sunday evening, February 3, and
continues for five consecutive Sunday
nights. It will be an extensive study
of missions tinching its various phases
of interest as related to our own lives.
The subject will be cared for by ten
class discussions.
A study of the lives of great mission
aries, beginning with St. Paul, the first
apostle to the Gentiles, will be led by
Mrs. Duane McCracken.
Christian Citizenship, which has long
been recognized as the duty of Chris
tians, will be conducted by Elwood
Perisho with the aim, "Render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesar's,"
in mind. The first question to be con
sidered is that of "Preparedness."
Joseph Peele is continuing a course
in Racial Relationships begun three
years ago.
Church membership has often been
considered a matter of tradition or in
heritance. Alice Hazard, leading the
class in Quakerism, is attempting to
make it an issue of individual convic
tion.
All over Christendom this year em
phasis is being laid upon Africa. Hence
Mrs. Binford's course in the study of
that country, using as a text book Jean
MacKensie's Friends of Africa.
Mrs. Annie E. Williams is raising
and discussing the question and wisdom
of leaving America for mission work
when the harvest is ripe at home.
Nathan I). Andrews is conducting a
course in stewardship dealing with the
financial and economic issues which the
Christian today must face.
Prohibition and narcotics will be
dealt with by E. E. Farlowe in the
course on "Public Morals."
Ida Millis will continue her work in
the field of "Teachers Training" and
lastly a study of different religious

ROXY'S GANG SINGS
HERE TUESDAY EVE
Are the Criterion Male Quartet From
New York City on their Regular
Southern Tour
NUMBER OF G. C. LYCEUM COURSE
Guilford College has the pleasure of
presenting to the public the Criterion
Male Quartet of New York City on
Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in Memo
rial Hall. This quartet has for many
years been the standard concert male
quartet of the country and their annual
tour of the South is greatly anticipated.
The quartet has made many records for
Victor, Edison, Brunswick, and Gennett
record producing companies. Since the
coming of the radio many people know
these men as "Iloxy's Gang."
The personnel of the quartet in
cludes : Mr. Frank Mellor, first tenor,
who for a number of years was soloist
at the "Old First Church" on Fifth
Avenue; .Mr. John Young, second tenor,
who has been with the New York Ora
torio Society; Mr. George Heard 011,
baritone, and Mr. Frederic Thomas,
basso. There is also an accompanist
with the company'.
The Criterion Quartet comes to Guil
ford through the Southern Concert
Management of Aslieville, N. C.
The club has met with great ap
proval. They offer a varied and inter
esting program, artistic and well
arranged.
MINNESINGERS ARE TO
BROADCAST PROGRAM
Are Planning Several Short as Well as
Long Trips and Will Entertain
at N. C. C. W. Chapel
For the past several weeks the Min
nesingers have been putting in extra
practices and working over time in an
effort to complete their concert for the
coming season. In November the club
entered the state contest at Duke and
received much praise from the judges,
who awarded them second place in the
contest.
On February 19 the club will broad
cast a program from WNRC at Greens
boro, and sometime in the near future
they are to entertain during the chapel
period at N. C. C. W. Early in March
a trip through the eastern part of
North Carolina is planned as well as
several short trips, each of which will
be of a day's duration or less.
This is the second year that Profes
sor Max S. Noah has directed the club,
and judging from what he accom
plished last year with new material, he
should have an exceptionally good club
this year.
The season will close with the annual
home concert which will be given some
time in May or June.
' THE
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., FEBRUARY 6
CHEATING ON FINALS
IS TOPIC OF STUDENT
BOARD DISCUSSION
With Abolition of Faculty
Marks Old System Be
came Obsolete
A HEAVIER PUNISHMENT
All Offenses Now Are Punishable by
Suspension and by Loss of Re
sponsible Student Officers
The chief subject under discussion
at a recent meeting of the Student
Affairs Board was dishonesty of stu
dents in final examinations. Under the
old system of discipline this problem
was handled exclusively by the faculty
and the offender was awarded a faculty
mark for each offense. The abolition
of faculty marks left this misdemeanor
without any adequate punishment, so
the personal committee drew up a series
of regulations governing tins offense.
These regulations were discussed at
length and it was finally decided that
a student should be suspended for a
week, interview the president of the
college, and drop all student activities
for one quarter. The Board held that
a second offense should be considered
more serious than a first and therefore
that it should restflt in suspension for
two weeks, interviewing the president
of the college, and dropping of student
activities of all kinds for a semester.
The penalty for a third offense should
be expulsion.
The Board refused to take a definite
stand on dishonesty in daily recita
tion, so this will be handled entirely
by the personal committee.
ZAYS AND PHILS HOLD
JOINT MEETING FRIDAY
Esther Rwce Gives Clever Round-Up of
Items of Interest to Students;
Marie Barnes Clogs
An especially interesting program was
given Friday night at a joint meeting
of the Zatasian and Philomathean Lit
erary Societies. The first number, "The
Runaway Boy," a reading by Annie
Ray, was amusing and very well given.
Perhaps the most enjoyed feature of
the program was a group of very clever
items of "News That Flew In," by
Esther Reece. This revealed several
heretofore unexplained whys and
wherefores about the campus.
A piano solo by Georgia Fulk was
received with much approval, as usual,
and a short story, "Indoor Motoring,"
read by Nell Thomas, was fully enjoyed.
As the concluding number, Marie
Barnes, in negro costume, did some of
her ever-popular clogging, which even
caused our reserved faculty to open
their parlor doors for observation.
HEALTH IS APPROACHING
AGAIN FOR MISS BRUCE
Miss Bruce, who has been acting in
the double capacity of dietitian for
Founders Hall and head of the home
economics department, is a patient at
Wesley Long Hospital. She has been ill
since the early part of December when
she succumbed to a severe attack of
influenza. Miss Bruce returned to take
up her duties after the Christmas holi
days and made a heroic effort to keep
up her work, but the influenza had
weakened her heart and she found it
necessary to return to the hospital.
She is convalescing slowly and expects
to be back at the college to resume her
duties by the latter part of this month.

Expression
Plans are announced for the
course in expression which is to be
continued during the coming semes
ter. Mrs. Noah will give work al
most entirely in the field of play
production. Aside from training
actors, the work of play choosing,
casting, directing, and coaching will
be especially emphasized, for the
benefit of those who plan to teach
or do dramtic work in any field. Sev
eral plays will be presented before
the public during the spring term.
DEBATING SQUAD IS
REDUCED TO TWELVE
Four Trial Teams Have Regular Work
outs on Both Questions of Power
and of the Jury
ARGUFIERS TO CLASH IN MARCH
Dean Trueblood is working hard with
the debating teams in an attempt to
get them fully prepared for the first
contest which will in all probability
take place about March 1. The squad
lias been cut down to twelve men and
these have been divided into four teams
or an affirmative and a negative team
for each query which will be debated.
The following men have been chosen
to debate the power question: Hire,
Matthews, Stafford, Trueblood, Patrick,
and Tew, with Hire as chairman of the
affirmative group and Trueblood leading
the negative argufiers. Uozell, Macltie
and Blair are upholding the positive
side of the jury question, while Mur
phy, Harper and Beach are defending
it. The first mentioned man in each of
the latter groups has been designated
chairman.
The tentative schedule calls for a
dual debate with Atlantic Christian
and Elon Colleges on the power ques
tion on March 1 and 30, respectively.
The triangular debate with High I'oint
and Lenoir-Rliyne has been definitely
fixed for March 15. Tentative plans
have also been made to debate Funnan
University on some query, to be chosen
by them, early in the spring.
GREAT WASTES SUBJECT
OF PERISHO'S ADDRESS
Stars Tour of State High Schools Soon;
Lectures at Guilford High School
on Subject of Geology
In chapel Monday morning Dr.
Perisho continued the series of lec
tures lie lias been giving on the subject
of "Great Wastes.' In the previous
lectures he has dealt with the great
waste of natural resources—especially
of timber, coal, and oil. In a recent
copy of flie new magazine, The Nation's
Business, Dr. Perisho read an article
on mental waste. It was from this
article that he got liis subject for this
lecture.
To prevent this great mental waste
Dr. Perisho suggests that students
learn to apply themselves to their
studies. For with the proper applica
tion anything may he accomplished. By
the kindness of the faculty, any one
can pass a course with a grade of 70.
The world, however, is not as kind as
the faculty. You can't get by with as
much.
Last Wednesday afternoon Dr.
Perisho gave the students of Guilford
Iligli School a two-hour lecture 011
geology. Soon he will begin his tour
of the high schools in this state though
his schedule has not been denitely made
out yet.

MISS GILBERT HONORED
BY M.A. FROM COLUMBIA
Will Teach Three Sections of Freshman
English and Several Groups of
Second-Year Students
Miss Dorothy Gilbert, of the Guilford
College faculty, who has been on a
half year's leave of absence, has re
turned, bringing with her a master's
degree in English. During last sum
mer and the past semester, Miss Gil
bert has been diligently working in the
English department at Columbia Uni
versity. She had previously taken
some work at the University and that,
coupled with the rather extraordinary
amount she accomplished during her
absence from Guilford, was sufficient
to enable her to become a candidate.
Miss Gilbert passed her final examina
tions with high standing and did ail
excellent piece of work on her thesis
which was on "The Dragons in Medi
eval Literature." She will now resume
her work in the English department,
teaching three sections of freshman
English and one or two groups of the
second year English students.
