ter of the man, at the memorial ser

"David White was a man of very deep
convictions hut also was a man of re
markable human sympathy. These deep
convictions and this sympathy com
bined to make him a man of remark
able judgment, whose opinion was
valued by everyone who came into con
tact with him."

THANKSGIVING DAY SET
FOR BIG HOME-COMING
Former Students Have Opportunity of
Remembering Acquaintances
and Meeting Freshmen.
GRID GAME WITH ELON FEATURE
llome-coming day this year is to be
held on Thanksgiving. November 24th.
This is the day when all old students
and alumni are to he our guests.
A program is planned to occupy the
whole day. By far the most impor
tant event is the grid contest between
Guilford and Klon, the big game of the
year for both teams, in the afternoon.
This is a great day at Guilford, one
that the students point for to make
the year a success.
Home-coming day is the best oppor
tunity for graduates and old students
to return and renew old acquaintances,
and to meet the newer students of the
college. It is the means to tighten the
co-operative spirit between the alumni
and tlie student body, .something much
needed at Guilford.
During the course of the day, grads
and students you knew last year and
other years will be back. They will
visit the fellows and young ladies. The
students can do their part in a big way
by making them feel "back home" by
their welcome.
GUILFORI) COLLEGE, N. C., SEPTEMBER 30, 1932
CLIFFORD FRAZIER
SPEAKS AT CHAPEL
TUESDAY MORNING
Noted Lawyer of Greensboro
Republican Candidate
for Governor.
IS ALUMNUS OF GUILFORD
Speaks on Capital Wealth of North
Carolina and on the Increase of
the Public Debt.
We consider ourselves fortunate in
having as our chapel speaker, Tuesday,
September 20. Clifford Frazier. the Re
publican candidate for Governor of the
Stiite. He was graduated from (iuil
ford College years ago—so we have
a personal interest in liiin. Two years
later he received his Bachelor of Laws
degree from the I'niversity of North
Carolina. Since that time he has prac
ticed law in Greensboro and litis risen
to the front ranks of the legal pro
fession. Although Ills speech to us was
non-partisan we know that lie stands
for sobriety and temperance and a
policy of good government, lie is a
man who i.s qualified to till the position
of Governor of North Carolina.
Mr. Frazier used his political eti
quette and gave lis a non-political
speech. In former times there has
been a distinct line drawn hi'two. II the
two parties, hut this line is mostly
imaginary, and is growing less distinct.
A pessimist is a person who sees a
litticiiu.\ in every opimrtunity, an opti
mist is a person who sees au oppor
tunity in every difficulty, hut a normal
person sees the difficulty in every op
portunity and the opportunity in every
difficulty.
At first politics held no interest for
Mr. Frazier, usually people's convic
tions follow their own personal advan
tages—there is always present that de
sire for political office. But there are
a few people who work for the best of
the state. A person must talk with
considerable care when making politi
cal speeches for the newspapers take
what they like of one's sjieeeli, "play
up" that part and leave out the rest.

MR. TAMBLYN GIVES
INTERESTING TALK
Theme of Message Was Inflence
of Christ in the Present
State of Conditions.
INDEPENDENT ATTITUDE
Mr. Tiiinblyi). who is giving up his
place as pastor of Grace Methodist
church in Greensboro, spoke in chapel
on Friday, September ltitli.
Mr. Tauiblyn took his text from the
epistles to tlie Pliillipiims ami the
 'orinthians. The theme of his message
was the influence* of Christ in the pres
ent state of conditions, and lie opened
with the picry. "Will changes lead us
away from or toward Christ?"
In the last decade emphasis has been
put on the tangible and material side
of religious institutions. Now these
attitudes must le changed by Chris
tians who are living examples of
Christ's teachings. These Christians
must have Christ-like minds which in
clude independent attitudes enabling
them to rise above the ruling ideas of
the day. and which will give them
moral insight, ethical discrimination
and deep and sincere ability.

JAMIESON LEADS
Cheating, Stealing, Smoking
and Other Topics Are
Discussed by Group.
HONOR SYSTEM IGNORED
Deplored Appearance and Conduct in
Dining Koom and "Lack
of Co-operation."
Last Thursday saw tile first men's
chapel for the year, and many current
problems were brought up. Robert
.lamieson, the Men's Student Council
President had charge of the discussion
and brought up the points to be con
sidered. The meeting was a brief survey
of the principles enforced at (iuilford
which all loyal students should follow.
The president's first topic was tile
honor system. This responsibility, first
placed 011 the students two years ago,
is not being taken seriously enough.
The Freshmen are the chief abusers
because the purpose and intent of the
system are not fully grasped. The
honor system applies not only to con
duct during examinations but is in
effect throughout the school jmr over
the entire campus. Cheating, or fail
ure to report someone seen cheating,
is the most important issue of the sys
tem and in both cases it lias become
lax amongst the entire student body.
Kvidences were not few in the final
exams of last semester. Papers with
tlie same mistakes which could leave
no doubt that dishonest methods were
used, had been brought before the coun
cil. Students do not realize that even
though they do get away with tilings
of this sort, they are also being dis
loyal to the school and unworthy of
the trust bestowed 011 them.
Another matter that was investigated
by the council last year was stealing.
Anyone who is old enough to come to
college and has enough intelligence
to stay there should know better than
ever to think of taking .something that
is not theirs. This is not only a crimi
nal offense b"t it tends to undermine
the character. One offense will be suffi
cient reason for expulsion from school.
Smoking lll the campus was also
brought up at the meeting. Little glow
ing lights have been seen going about
the eastern part of the campus after
dark, and as lightning bugs are out
of season the faculty are led to believe
that students are not observing the
established custom of not smoking on
the campus. It is understood that some
of the students have acquired the to
bacco habit. These should control
themselves sufficiently to refrain from
smoking on the campus.
Something which rests not so much
with flic group as with the individual,
is conduct and appearance 111 the din
ing room. A decided change would be
appreciated by the women students and
the faculty, and the men should give
them a liftle consideration.
There is a definite lack of co-opera
tion among the students which should
lie remedied. This can easily be illus
trated. Members of athletic teams who
hold jobs need someone to work for
them when they go away 011 trips. In
former years it was easy enough to get
someone to do their work. Now they
not only have trouble in finding some
one to work but also have to pay them.
The fellows who bold jobs cannot af
ford to pay for substitution and
shouldn't have to. It should be looked
