Page Four Details of Library Contest Announced Freshmen and Sophs, Perhaps Juniors and Seniors Are Eligible For several years the library has held contests which are open to every student in college, and the same con tests will be held this year, Miss Ricks has announced. Awards to the winners are usually made in May, and consist of books which the student has se lected. The contest which is open to fresh men is entered by each interested first year student when he reports on his parallel books. Records are kept of these reports, and awards are mnde by the faculty and student assistants on the basis of the number and quality of the books read. Sophomores have the privilege of handing in lists of not less than twenty five nor more than fifty books which they would like to have for their per sonal libraries, if they wish to enter j the contest. Bibliographical details are required and students nre asked to give reasons for their particular se lections. For the past two years, Miss Ricks stated, no contest has been held for the juniors and seniors either because enough of them did not sign up or be cause those who did sign up failed to display their personal libraries, as they were asked to do. Changes in the con test are being considered for the juniors and seniors provided a sufficient num ber of students express interest in the contest. Awards given to winners are bought with funds coming from library tines, and are: Freshmen, two first' prizes of five dollars each and two second prizes of two dollars and fifty cents each; sophomores, one first prize seven dollars and fifty cents and one second prize of five dollars. Students who wish to enter the con tests, which end May 1, should see Miss Ricks for details. From the Files September 26, • 1017 —On Saturday evening, September 22nd, the Guilford college people had the opportunity of taking part in the "Community Sing ing." After a few introductory remarks, Professor Brown, of the State Normal college, conducted the singing of many well-known songs. Between each num ber he made humorous criticisms or re lated anecdotes connected with (he songs.

S., Says American Students Effectiveness of General Chnrles de Gaulle's Free French forces in aiding the British in their African successes, continued rumblings from Vichy and i'aris, and the growing belief in well informed circles that Marshal retain and Reichsfuehrer Hitler are heading for a showdown, have served to focus attention once more on the situation in which conquered France finds her self. Undergraduate students of foreign affairs in (lie United States feel that France's role is still destined to tie important, despite the fact that Pe tain's regime has virtually no alterna tive to complete collaboration with the I conquerors. At lowa State college, the Daily Stu dent waxes skeptical in calling atten tion to Petain's recent assertion that France is a sovereign nation, vested with the duty of defending her soil, extinguishing divergences of opinion and reducing dissidences of the colo nies. "According to the French offi cial," continues the Student, "an agree ment was made for the two countries (France and Germany) to collaborate in rebuilding a crippled France. Hitler 'forced one to no dictate; no pressure,' I'etain said. Maybe so," observes the lowa publication, "but somehow it just doesn't ring true. The stigma of Hit ler's propagandists methods seems to taint Petain's every word. It is hard to believe that Hitler won't shape the re building of France as he wants it." The University Daily Kansan joins in the view that "the French govern ment, totalitarian since its armistice with Germany, has little choice but to accede to whatever terms may be offer ed by the Axis in peace negotiations, ' regardless of the consequences—chief of which would probably be a declara tion of war on Its traditional ally would precipitate a breach of diplo matic contact with the United States and South American nations which Pe tain considers essential to France's welfare in regard to hoped-for and much-needed food supplies." It is pointed out by the Cornell Daily Sun that "with France unwillingly, or otherwise, lining up with the Axis pow ers, the question of her colonies has come back into the news. President Roosevelt is reported to have warned (lie Vichy government that further signs of military co-operation between Germany and France may result in this country seizing Martinique and French Guiana. But there are other elements in our affairs with France. \ "Ice-cold !

Mi liter. Most important, there is Dakar, in French West Africa, n port which an offended France might turn over to Germany. This base on the South At lantic, some 1,800 miles from Brazil, in event of an Axis victory would be a seat of operations for any attempt at penetration of this hemisphere. It is, of course, out of the question for our navy to go over to Africa and oc cupy every potential 'enemy' point of operations. Nevertheless, the fact re mains that the president will have to consider the role of Dakar, in any de cision which will determine future rela tions with France." Thus, while for nial United States friendship for France continues, the concensus of col legiate editorial thought is that Ger many will be forced to assume the key role in Hitler's attempt at world revo lution.—ACP. 27 Maintain Record of All A's And B's; Low Ranks Depleted (Continued from Page One) In the next bracket, making all A's and B's, are Holt Ardrey, Grace Beit tel, Mark Benyunes, Helen Brown, Hurford Crosman, Shirley Cummings, Phil Dewees, Betty Flinn, Julia Fuss ier, L.

Her talk concerned "The private secretary, her qualifications, training, and opportunities," and was given be fore an open meeting of the club of which Mrs. Milner and Miss McAfee are sponsors, and Mildred Easterbrook, president. Old Guilfordians Reflect Effects of War on Campus (Continued from Page One) all such apparatus everywhere is being sealed up by the government." One Greensboro store, in an adver tisement in THE GUII.FORDIAN, capital izes on the scarcity of "certain mer chandise" owing to war conditions," con cluding—''Heavy advance buying has overcome this at Meyers'." Debates were rife. Topics included the election of Woodrow Wilson (Democratic and Republican clubs were active on campus) and, a pertinent question, whether or not ministers should be exempted from military serv ice. The Philomatliean sociey contributed to campus affairs with a patriotic meeting. Several columns on the editorial page were often devoted to letters from France and to lists of Guilford stu dents and alumni who were in army camps or overseas. An editorial of J917 begins—"lt is difficult to understand the motives of those who advocate that athletics be suspended in wartime," and comments on the loss of athletes. The news style at that time con sisted of little more than personalized comments. Passionate articles on the horror of war were couched in rather shallow phrases. Thus, when, in an issue of November, 1018, a column was devoted to the celebration of the armi stice, the effect falls rather flat. This was supplemented by a streamer at the bottom of the page—"Help Guilford go over the top in war work campaign." The most evident strain on the stu dents seems to have been a local af fair. Cases'of influenza had developed and the entire campus was strictly quarantined. Day hops had to keep out or board, and the new south section of Cox was opened as an infirmary. The Lincoln library of the late Val entine Bjorkman, comprising more than 1,000 volumes, has been acquired by I'psala college, East Orange, New Jer sey.
