The Honor System
A privilege was granted to Guilford stu
dents some years ago. A trust was placed
In their keeping. That privilege and that
trust was the Honor system. The Student
government places its confidence in us,
jind we must uphold their faith.
What good is derived from cheating?
One may get a high grade but in a year
a high grade will mean little or nothing,
while the fact that you cheated will ho
remembered. You aren't deceiving your
classmates, they know when you cheat. And
students have little respect for those who
don't play fair. You might gain a passing
mark, but in doing so, you will have lost:
something so valuable that it is not re
placeable.
Exams begin a week from today. Let us
prove 1o those who gave us this privilege
that we are worthy of the trust they place
in us.
A Word to the Seniors . . .
In approximately two weeks you will
have left Guilford. Four years ago you
came here, and now that spent time will
soon become a recollection to be cherished
in many places at many different times.
"What will you stop to remember? Will it
be the mad scramble at the post office .just
before the 10:20 bell when the chapel
speaker hasn't run over, the dogwood
trees heavy with bloom bv the library
windows, the spirit of the football team
through frequent defeats? Some of you
will recall '• y retreats in the pasture, the
battleground and the moonlight hikes, .Mrs.
Milner knowing ALL about EVERY
THING. And can you forget the ham
burgers fit Clyde's before the meat ration
ing, and the black mud splashing from
under flagstones after the spring rains?
liemember the kiss-me-quick trees, the
thrilling Monogram dances, boys' may
day, Dr. Williams' yawning Philosophy
class, and (it rhard saving "please" instead
of "you're welcome" across the librarian's
desk. And how about the "serious" bull
sessions at IS o'clock in the morning, the
feeling of peacefulness at silent meeting,
the frees along the entrance drive, the
harsh noise of multitudes of typewriters
peeking the dark hours away before term
paper deadlines, the campus wrapped in
la soft blanket of snow . . . and. oh, the
millions of other things that each of you
cherishes in particular. We will miss you.

OPEN FORUM
Dear Editor:
Several of us Guilfordians liave been inter
ested ill the "V" Organization this year, al
though we have been unable to participate in
its internal organization. It is for this reason
we would like to take this opportunity to make
some observations.
We believe that the adoption of open attend
ance to all cabinet meetings would have some
desired results. Perhaps there would be greater
participation in the meetings themselves and
their functions which use the aid of non-cabinet
members: this in turn might lead to the dis
covery of a more varied group of leaders.

Dear Students:
We think that if a person is reminded about
a thing often enough, he will soon become con
scious of it. It seems to us that if a person
would think twice before he "lights up." and
lie sure that he was smoking where he should,
it would make a better impression for him
as well as other people.
Ujr smoking rules were iniide for a purpose.
There are a few fellows who do not think,
or do not care, where nor when they smoke.
WIIEX you smoke does not matter, but WIIEKE
does. These rules are not faculty-made, nor
dictated, but were drawn up by a group of
students a few years ago. for students' use.
Some people say that rules were made to be
broken; if that is your impression, then go
ahead and infringe it shows what kind of
fellow you are.
No organization can run smoothly without
cooperation. Ours is no exception. We ask
your whole-hearted support in our policies, for
it is Yoi'K student government. We do not
make it work: you do that. Won't yon please
try a little harder iu this respect?
ltespcctfully yours,
Men's Student Government

April 18, 11)17—The men who furnish heat
ami lint water in Cox and Arehdale seem to
enjoy the warmth of spring long before the
hoys enii eonveniently adapt themselves to the
eliilly circumstances that such hot-blooded tire
men seem inclined to force upon tliein.
May 22, 1923—Baseball season closes with
the Davidson game. "Block" Smith and George
Kerrell proved to be valuable players. Smith
came through twenty games with only one
error to his credit.
May l(i, I!lH(>—Plans have been completed
for the two annual social events which will
take place this afternoon and tonight: the
freshman-sophomore picnic to be held near the
college pond this afternoon and the jiuiior
senior baui|iiet will take place at the Jefferson
Standard club tonight at
QUIPS and QUIRKS
lhj TWO JEItKS
Although this plug will make the sophomores
more conceited than they are, here are rose
buds to those upperclassnieu who planned the
freshman-sophomore day program—even though
the tables were turned upon the sassy sophs.
Speaking of the picnic, wasn't Pettijolm lucky?
O
This column understood that Pringle played
first base for Guilford, but Goinlriclge insists
that he's pitching. The "Rock" has been wor

now Snipes lias nothing oil you.
O
This psychology can lie measured by a Ruler:
A little bird was hopping down the street, and
he saw a sausage. lie immediately ate it.
The little bird, quite proud of himself, began
to chirp. But suddenly a cat came upon the
scene, and devoured the little bird. Moral:
Keep your mouth shut when you are full of
baloney.
O
llaworth and Melinne have the urge to tra
vel. They were talking about this subject the
other day, and when they returned to their
rooms one niglit they found that their furni
ture had gotten the urge also —for there were
O
four bare walls—and no more!
The big brother instinct that was introduced
during freshman week seems to have stuck with
a few people. Have you noticed how Big Brother
Levine takes up for, and watches over. Little
Brother Shaffer? Quite cozy, eh. fellows?

It seems to us that a waiter's primary job

The long courtship of Smith and Weisinail
has broken up. Now it is Weisnian and Scott,
but Smith wasn't discouraged, lie got Merrill.
Bullock, the biology major, who is going to

Stop! Have you seen a red light on Guil

vine, Shaffer, and Co. are studying the effect
of infra-red rays Upon the individual as a
whole. lteqnestfully yours —we also think
that engaged couples should be allowed some
privacy—after all. they deserve it. for you're
only in love mice, at least it is a standing
rule around Guilford.
O
Some people on this campus have tine spirits

guzzle tlieni off the campus. Do you want a
beautiful tan? If so, send the top of a Wlieaties
box and $lO in war stamps to "Yankee Stadium
