Subscription price SI.OO per year 1938 Member 1939 Associated GoUeftiate Press Entered at the post office in Guilford College as second class matter Let Us Give Thanks For the past several years it lias been customary for Guilford stu dents and faculty to take only one day for Thanksgiving holiday. Usually there has been a big dinner and a football game or some other sort of entertainment to attract the students. Those who live within a convenient radius have been in the habit of going home for the day. Those who stayed on campus have "enjoyed" a half-hearted holiday. Due to nation-wide practice, the Thanksgiving holiday has been extended into a "Thanksgiving Week-end." Most institutions of learn ing, both public and private, declare a holiday from "Wednesday after noon through Sunday. Consequently, the four days of Thanksgiving week-end, have become virtually an institution throughout the country. Recently interested students on the campus concerned with the lack of fall holidays, presented the matter of extending Thanksgiving to the various classes in order to get the consensus of opinion. All reports showed that the students were unanimously in favor of an extended holiday. Letters from each class, voicing approval of the plan, have been sent to the Personnel Committee. The committee has agreed to give the request duo consideration and speaks with a note of encouragement. • Whether tliey agree to extend tlie extra three days or not remains to be seen. Common sense, however, tells us that they will take no positive action unless that they feel the great majority of the student body is concerned. If you haven't thought about how you will spend your Thanksgiving, get to thinking—and acting. Talk up the possi bilities of a Thanksgiving at home with the folks or away with friends. Mention your desire to the powers that be, and let's make this desire for a short vacation into a reality. We deserve it. You've Paid; Now . . . Considerable interest lias been displayed in the conduct of student activities on the campus from points of view of both students and faculty. Extra-curricular activities reached the stage several years ago at which an effort was made to finance the various undertakings through a student fund, to be administered by the students, with faculty con sultation, according to specified plans. The Student Affairs board resulted from the efforts of interested persons, and now it is delegated with the responsibility of supervising student activities and the money provided by students for these activi ties. The board has served the student body in apparent usefulness, it is conceded without hesitation, but there is doubt about the degree of genuine interest exhibited by students themselves concerning the suc cessful administration of these student activities and the expenditure of money paid by each individual student. Upwards of $5,000 is an amount which demands serious considera tion. The party paid by one student may not be summarily large, but the total receipts from 350 students is a lot of money! It seems to be practical to say that "I want to know where my share is going." Seniors who have given little thought to the situation during early years in school begin to wonder what lias been done with their $15.00 ($60.00 for four years). Freshmen who study the situation now will show a more intelligent ability to spend wisely. It may appear a per sonal problem, and it certainly should be a concern of the student body as a whole. J. F. M. THE GUILFORDIAN SECOND-CLASS MATTER BY TIIK CAUKIEK The other night I picked up a cam pus receiver, to make 11 business cull you understand, and I butted into a delightful conversation. I wrote this on the wall while I waited: Is any body's face red? I hope . . . I've seen peculiar sights, I've heard peculiar sounds, In niy few days and nights I think I've been the rounds. Hut one thing always gets me, I'm very free to own: It simply just upests me— That kiss 011 the telephone. . . Labberton and Harris want to ad vertise for dates. Look 'em over, boys. I gather from Mrs. Milner's "Euro pean Impressions" report that she kept listening for people to drop things. Like feathers and pins and stuff. Hear anybody drop a course, Mrs. Milner? Last week some lassie wanted to swap seats with Miss K. I'rez. Beittel. Men involved: K. Morris, Little Snag, McDonald and Ashcan. Three guesses. Priss Blouch entered a formal pro test (more protest than formal) about the late Alexander's reported attend ance at Briggs Dental School. 'Taint so. He's at Hahvahd. Oops, Bed pahdon. George, The Greek, Pappas wrote a torrid love letter to liis gal ami a dutiful one to his ma. Then he put them in the wrong envelopes and mailed them. Wonder wlio was more surprised. Cla.vpoole has his ring back. The combination of Snow ('amp and Mount Holly always seemed so sort of fes tive too. Shucks! Colin went to W. 0. the other night in just a dressing gown. No recipro cal action has been taken. If you, too. have noticed the philo sophical air assumed by Prez. Perian of late it's because Goldie Goldberg told him he had an intellectual face. I.ike Dr. Pope, says she. Add l.ittle Limericks for Little People In History and Foley Sigh You had better darnsight try To learn all the data Oil irrelevant matta Or take an "F" from Algie I. Even before the cross country season is over. Alston is receiving his share of the Laura-Is. Whew, wasn't that last one awful? Meibohm gave us that. I think it's jealousy. President Robert Hutchlns of the I 'Diversity of Chicago observed that every great change in American Edu cation has been achieved over the dead bodies of countless professors. Well, Dr. Hutchlns, in the immortal words of Groucho Marx, I can't think of n pleasnnter way to travel. Chandler won a fall from Man Mountain Van Eck a few days back. Haw! Little Miss Ott Sat at the spot The social committee gave her; Along came a Souder And sat down beside her And messed up the seating arrange ment. What awful stuff! But it fills space. Alimen! Alimen! Alimen! Cocta.v Hoy Tits Kitty, Rim Rim YEAH TEAM! Open Forum THE INEVITABLE 1 >ear Editor: Could you tell me through the val uable columns of your valuable paper just what lias caused the Founder's Food (pronounced Foo) to take such a spiral-like nose dive into the depths of vitamin degradation? Is it customary to feed the Fresh men passable good meals through their period of homesickness and then drop down into a groove for the remaining eight months? Every time 1 stand in front of the mirror I cannot fail to remind myself that I am slowly starving to death. This stuff, so lovingly called slum guilion, by the upperclassmen simply won't go down and those liquid eggs in cute little glass containers make me think of the "Ilurry! Jason" ditty. Simple logic should tell the gustatory artists who hold sway in the culinary department that, food that is not eaten when brought out twice won't go down when served thrice. My motto is "Down with Guilford food" and I don't mean literally. OFTEN HUNGRY. Editor, THE GUIIJOBDIAN : If you will recall, there was a gen eral campus election last spring. Those of us who were here and voted took a great deal of interest in the proceed ings. The officers of Y. M. C. A., Presi dent of Woman's Student Government, House Presidents, and Editor-in-Chief of our prize sometimes monthly, some times . . . paper, all of these have re ceived much attention. The candidates for office on the De bates Council received about as much attention as would a prospective dog catcher in a presidential election. I hasten to add that there is 110 analogy between Debate Council and the dog catcher, though I dare say, to three quarters of the students here the dis tinction is rather vague. The student body simply was not made aware of the existence or at best the life of such an organization. .Surprise though it may be, Guilford was represented by a debating team at the South Atlantic Forensic meet last year; and in spite of isolation and sophomore speeches, will be represented this year. Because of the uninformed student body, last year's recruits had but five weeks to prepare for competi tion with the south's best schools. Not au organization on the campus packed so much work in such a short time as ilid tile four boys who gabbed for Gull-, i'ord. They received no publicity when they tackled the uninviting task: they received 110 publicity when they boned over problems that would have stumped au expert, economist; they received 110 publicity when they had finished a tough job. As this school's premier purveyor of propaganda, surely THE GUII.FORDIAN Down Boadway "llow I'll Miss You When the Sum mer Is (Jone" would ordinarily be an appropriate theme for the Broadway front at this time, but this being the eve of the New York World's Fair, big ger and better things are in store for band fans who visit Gotham during the next nine months. Never before bus Broadway assem bled such a galaxy of name bands. King Benny Goodman will lie at the Waldorf, Tommy Dorse.v at flip New Yorker, Oft'-the-Cob Kyser at the I'enn, Larry Clinton at the International Casino, Ted Lewis at the Casa Manana, Eddy IHicbin at flic I'lnza, Will Osborne at (ilen Island Casino, Sammy Kaye at the Commodore and Ituss Morgan at the l'aradise restaurant. Out Chicago way, Hal Kemp, the suave sender of sophisticated syncopa tion will dish out his telegraphic rhythms at the Drake hotel, commenc ing October 8, Buddy Rogers is slated October 15, 1938 RIPPED AT RANDOM By DOT CHAPPEL, I'd rather see it raining pitchforks than hailing taxicabs. Accidents can l>e made to happen. lie pia.vs a fair game of golf if you watch him. Gotta wooden whistle I tut it wooden whistle (Jotta lead whistle Hut they wooden lead me whistle Gotta steel whistle But they steel wooden lead me whistle Gotta tin whistle And now I tin whistle. For one armed drivers : "You can't pay attention to your brakes when your mind is on your clutch." A. Am I driving too fast? 1!. No, you're flying too low. Gossip columnists are the spies of life. A woman should hold on to her youth, but not while she's driving. Puppy love is the beginning of a dog's life. Child : A stomach entirely surrounded by curiosity. The skin you love to touch is usually covered up. Indignant coed: I'll give you just 45 minutes to get your hand off my knee. COUNCIL CHOOSES "CRICHTON" FOR FIRST FALL PLAY (Continued Prom Page One) are excellent and the opportunity for colorful and novel stage settings will prove a technical challenge to the Play Production class. Crichton, smooth suave butler in the household of Lord Loam, to be played by equally suave T. Taylor, resents liis master's forcing equality upon him and the other ser vants once a month in a library tea. Liberalistic, well-meaning Lord Loam maintains that class barriers are un natural to (lie consternation of his three daughters and Crichton. Wrecked on a desert island, his lordship is proved wrong in a series of humorous situations by which Crichton, himself, becomes king of the little group. Love between Crichton and Lady Mary, beau tiful elder daughter flourishes under island conditions. The return to Eng land and to the old ways of life furnish a dramtic final act. can wield some influence, or at least institute some degree of enlightenment. And the .student: hod.v can do with some enlightenment. Yours, I (KBATKIW for the Hotel Sherman same time, Guy i.omhardo already installed at the Calmer Ilouse, and Bob Crosby at the Hinekhawk. Jan Gnrber is slated to take over the baton from Bobcat Crosby early in November. >n Western shores, Skinny Kimis cuts loose with his new band at the super-swank Mark Hopkins hotel in San Francisco and Bunny Bcrigun is headed for the Palomnr. of all the for mer hand vocalists and instrumentalists to dehut as maestro during the past six months, Knnis is the first to come through a commercial. You'll hear liini on Boh Hope's new show Tuesdays over XBC-Hed, That, and his Mark Hopkins stunt, coupled with a new juicy Victor recording contract is not so had for a young'un in the baton-waving business. Another fairly new maestro to rate a rave is Larry Clinton who now holds contracts for appearances on the Tommy Biggs and Boh Benclily shows.
