QUAM , HQL:H'S We must say that Moravian team didn't act and talk like a bunch of fu ture ministers. Believe it or not, Bridger went to the movies last week. The boys in New North acquired a dog which they claimed they were pointing for a fight with our cat. Saturday the dog walked in our room and layed down in front of the radia tor, "Butch" the Cat, jumped down off the book case and quietly nestled up against the Mutt, joining him in quiet slumber. 'Stough boys, but it looks like the fights off. In case some of you don't yet know it, there is to be a banquet Saturday night for the football team. Tickets are 50 cents. We have 12 we're sup posed to sell if any of you want some. When one of the football teams saw that article in Saturday's paper in which the boys were called "the wandering Quakers" he immediately came forth with, "Wandering my eye. It ought to be WONDERING!" They can talk all they want about what a great game golf is and what a thrill you get when you sock a long one straight down the fairway, but the biggest thrill in golf for us is to be walking along (in the rough, of course) and find a golf ball! Did you know that "crm" Raiford's new nickname is "Mope?" Well, it is! NORTH CAROLINA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION HAS MEET 17th Meeting Of Association Convenes At Duke In November MISS RICKS SECRETARY The seventeenth meeting of the North Carolina Library Association was held at Duke University on No vember 12 and 13. The outstanding topic for discussion was "Cultural Reading." The chief purposes of the associa tion are to bring together the various librarians of the state, and to stand back of the State Library Movement. A conference of this kind is held ev ery two years. Mrs. Binford was one of the speak ers for the occasion. She talked on Children's Literature, and showed a number of books illustrating her lec ture. Carl Milan, secretary of the Amer ican Library Association, also gave an address. He urged everyone to make use of Tiis leisure time by read ing. There is too much leisure time to be wasted. Librarians have a greater responsibility than ever be fore in providing the right kind of reading material for the unemployed. Mr. Milan said that the morale of those out of work could be greatly raised by excellent library service. Now is the time to ready and study the pressing public questions of pres ent day America. Officers for the coming year were plected during a business session of the meeting. Miss Katherine C. Ricks, Librarian of Guilford College, was elected secretary.

(To Be Continued) Saturday, Dec. 5, Football Banquet BOOKS WE LIKE Review by SAMRA SMITH Samra Smith It is only on second thought that one understands why Axel Munthe entitled his book The Story of San Michele. It is really his autobiog raphy,, and San Michele does not ap pear definitely through three-fifths of the volume. Dr. Munthe was middle aged when he went to San Michele to live permanently. But when he visit ed Capri at the age of eighteen he de termined to come there, build a house, and live; and although he only left Paris at forty, San Michele was the underlying motive for every action of his life. It was for San Michele that he slaved at his studies and be came the youngest M. C. ever creat ed in France; for San Michele he tol erated those intolerable neurotic patients; San Michele was behind ev erything. Thus the story of his life is the story of San Michele. San Michele, by the way, is a ruined chapel on the island of Capri in the Bay of Naples, the site of the palace where the Roman Emperor Tiberius spent the last years of his life. It stood "Riveted to the steep rock like an eagle's nest" above the seven hun dred seventy-seven steps cut in the rock by Tiberius. To Munthe it was a vision, an ideal; it was the unattain able. The greater part of the book is taken up by his life in Paris as a fashionable doctor. He became known by the disease colitis, largely his own creation. In his rooms in the Avenue de Villiers he collected clocks, watches, rugs, vases, busts, dogs, monkeys, cats, parrots, owls, who knows what else? He was a great lover of animals, his heart was more moved by the sight of a stray cat than by the death of a patient. "With his own hands," as he as serts and reasserts, he rebuilt San Michele, and a magnificent home for himself near it, using the stones from Tiberius' ruined palace. Great men and women from everywhere visited him, even royalty. The Kaiser Wil helm, lecturing to his company on the artistic beauties of San Michele, "pointed to a female torso . . . and said that it deserved a place in the Museum at Berlin, and that for all he knew it might be an unknown masterpiece by Phidias himself." Munthe whispers in our ear that, "dumped upcn him by a well mean ing patient who had bought it in Naples, it was Canova at his worst. He was always irresistibly at tracted by death. He never omits to capitalize the word. In every danger ous situation he wonders how he will meet the great conqueror, how he will feel. He is drawn toward scenes of death, toward Naples during the cholera plague, Messina after the earthquake. The book might very well have been named "An Epitome Upon Death." A.K. Moore Chosen By Pres. Hoover Former Guilford Student To Attend Conference On Home-Building MEMBER OF CLASS OF 'll A. K. Moore, prominent realtor of Greensboro and a graduate in the class of nineteen hundred and eleven at Guilford College, has received the honor of an invitation to attend Pres ident Hoover's Conference on Home- Building Activities. The program of events for the meeting begins on De cember 2 and extends through De cember 5. Mr. Moore plans to be in Washington for the entire conference. At the first general session Presi dent Hoover will address the group, and a concert by the United States Marine band is also scheduled for Wednesday, December 2. Committee meetings and discussions on types of dwellings, city planning, remodeling and modernizing, landscape planting, slum areas, and many other topics December 2, 1931 - WHAT DO - 7 YOU THINK ♦ ABOUT THE FOOTBALL BANQUET? STAN MOORE Star Back on Team of '27 and '2B Having been requested to voice an opinion in regard to the football ban quet to be given next Saturday even ing, I can gladly and heartily say that I think it is a splendid idea. Under ordinary circumstances there would be nothing for me to say; for usually the banquets are given for current players only. This year, how ever, I understand that at the ban quet there will be some of the former players, as well as the football men of this year, to get together in a re union celebration in honor of this past season, and to revive the mem ories of past victories and failures. I hope that we former players will not seem like ghosts at the banquet. I am sure that we don't feel like ghosts—especially on a brisk fall day when we watch a game of football. I venture to say that each one of us feels as if he could grab that pigskin and run at least fifty yards on every play. However, of course, that illusion would be quickly overcome if we were to actually get into the game. I think that there could be no occa sion at Guilford more enjoyable to an old football man than a return to a football banquet. There is some thing about the game just a little dif ferent from any other sport. I can't say what it is; but I remember that we used to discuss it back in the dim distant past of 1929, and we often wondered what gave us such a feeling of loyalty to each other and to our college, and such a unity of purpose. Sentimentality? Perhaps. But it takes more than sentimentality to furnish a stimulus strong enough to keep a man playing after having had his nose pushed in the dirt by some big two-hundred-pounder. Did that stop him? No. He grinned and loved it, and asked for more. That's football. That unique quality causes foot ball to have the hold on college life which it has today, and is the reason why old football men retain such an interest in the college at which they played. We do have an interest in football at Guilford College. Those who can't see the games watch the paper anxiously to see the results, always hoping that Guilford will be victorious—or at least put up a cred itable showing. Football memories are not dim med by age to the fellows who play ed. They become clearer as the years go by. The old stories of how "Bill ran 70 yards for a touchdown," and how "Joe intercepted that pass" are told over and over again. What if the stories are embellished and ex aggerated? It is folklore to the play ers of the past. 1 am sure that all the former play ers are with me in saying that the mixing of old legends with the accu rate accounts of this year's activi ties, blended with the hopes of the future, unified in the banquet next Saturday evening, will be most worth while. will occupy most of the conference, and a reception in the White House on Friday evening leads up to the closing fessions on Saturday morn ing.
