Gilbert, David Parsons Subscription price SI.OO per year Member Plssocided Golleftiate Press Democracy in Action The writer of this editorial wishes to make clear that she is not in accord with the pacifist viewpoint but is definitely a firm believer in upholding the foundations of democracy. From the CPS camp at Gatlinburg, Ten nessee, comes a story of which all Ameri cans should rightly be ashamed. Peacefully and quietly returning from a movie in the nearby town of Gatlinburg, conscientious objectors Danny Young, Mac Crooks, and John Kendall were accosted on a lonely mountain road by two so-called "red-blooded" Americans. Accusing them of cowardice, treason, and being Nazis or Japs, they then proceeded to give them a thorough beating. This action is cjviite simi lar to that applied by Hitler's Gestapo agents in forcing obedience >f the German people. All three" were injured; Danny Young suffered from partial amnesia. How ever, it. is gratifying to know that the townspeople of Gatlinburg condemned the action of the assailants. Our forefathers in 177(i rebelled against their motherland in order to secure for us certain inalienable rights—freedom of wor ship, freedom of press, and freedom of speech. These principles are the corner stone of our democratic way of life. For over one hundred and fifty years we have been proud of our heritage. Our founding fathers placed in our hands the duty to retain those standards for which they gave their lives. We have sacrificed the lives of many of our finest young men in one world war to make "America safe for democracy." Now we are fighting again so that the world may share with us the benefits of the four freedoms outlined in the Atlantic Char ter. But when certain individuals who claim to be upholding the "American way of life," are allowed to brutally attack those whose ideas are not in accordance with the majority—we may as well let down our banners and accept defeat. We must support the keystones of our demo cratic government if we wish to succeed. Hitler's way of life is embodied in com pulsion, and in a dictatorship, while the American way is embodied in the phrase, ■"Life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness." If such occurrences of the "Hitlerite methods" are taking place in our own United States—for what are we fighting? Notes of un Innocent Bystander: The freshmen class of boys seems to out number the upperelassmen. I wonder why? Guil ford College Is a wonderful place to take a girl walking, especially in the autumn. By the way, where else can you take a girl? The way some freshmen act. you would think they were raised in a hog pen. This was slipped in by a sopho more and 1 promised not to tell on Big John. 1 believe the dances would go over better if a few men turned out, don't you? Sports The football team seems to be shaping up well with a large bunch of boys out. The All-Ameri cans returning this year are: "Hutterfingers" Ota, "Bubbleguni" Tannenbaum, "Muleface" Lambert, "Poodledog" Howerton, "Fishface" Al ien, "Beanpole" Hartke, "Deacon" Thomas, and "l'arson" Sapp. There will be off games with: Duke, Princeton, Georgia, Carolina, and Univer sity of California, while the Quakers will play host to Vassar. I'. S. If you believe this there's no hope for you. Whys Why did someone mistake George Abrams for Clark Gable? They both have bit; cars. Why dill the freshman boy sleep standing up last week? Because of certain, impressions. Did you hear about Joan ltipperger taking first prize in the beauty contest at Greensboro? It's too bad someone saw her taking it and made her put it back. Old Chinese Proverbs Hot love is soon cold. Listen at the keyhole and you will hear news about yourself. A lot of lives have been wrecked by whiskey, but look ait the boats that have been wrecked by water. One tongue is enough for two women. BOOKS OF THK MONTH Drama: I Would Have liaised -My Son But He Had Four Aces. ■Mystery: The Man Whose Feet Hurt, or The 'use of the Howling Dogs, by Ima Guilfordian. PLACES NOT DOWN ON THK MAP Lovers' Lane: This place has one marked peculiarity; although it is the most populous lane in the world, it never lias any more than two people in it at any one time. It is very easily reached, having a wide entrance just off llic main boulevard from ltoyvllle and Girlville; but once in it, the way is quite troublesome, owing to the various paths thai lead out of it: you can—if you are lucky, go straight along over the heights of matrimony to the end, or you may get lost in Divorce bog of Wrangle town. Sometimes a person doesn't discover Lovers' Lane until late in life: but this fact only makes him more enthusiastic about it. A great many scientists and philosophers have tried to locate Lovers' Lane without success. Even when they have come upon it by chance they have not been able to survey it accurately. Indeed, the moment you get into Lovers' Lane you are lost. Thunderstorms happen there quite often, but when the sun shines and the birds begin to sing —well, there's no place like it! Well buy! buy! Buy bonds. A Word of Welcome Class of '47. we welcome you to Guilford —to share with its the quiet peace fulness of our college campus, to be enriched as we have been by the Guilford spirit, and to be a part of our laughter and fun. Many of us were unable to return this year. But you are a privileged few. It is your duty to make the most of a splendid opportunity. Much of the success in mak ing a better post-war world depends upon your achievements. We are placing our faith in you—do not let us down! THE GUILFORDIAN CAMPUS PERSONALITIES S"t" OPEN FORUM (Editor's Note: Belie Baile.v, former editor of the GI'ILFOBDIAN, is now attending the University of Pennsylvania.) Editor, THE GUILFOBDIAX : Midshipmen, knitting needles, I'all Malls for the extra puff. The University of Pennsylvania is truly a great institution—it sprawls all over the city so you can't possibly he off campus. It is bounded >a all sides by rumbling trolleys and nerve-splitting riveters. This is why each pro fessor's megaphone is as indispenahle to him as I)r. Victorias' school bag. Our professors number more than Guilford's total enrollment. This makes for confusion and embarrassment. Never slander your English pro fessor while riding the I'aoli local —that elderly gentleman in a grey fedora across the aisle is inevitably the head of the department. Each morning I witness the composition of geology exams on the Xo. 42 Chestnut street trolley. I should get an A in that course—were I taking it. Sorry, freshmen, I haven't any idea when, where, or how Dr. Binford composes yours. Girls, if you want to love 'em and get left, come to Pennsylvania. Uncle Sam moves in and out daily. The Army sweeps you off your feet every day (whether you like it or not) as it marches en masse to class. "Eyes left" com mands the ). I). and you are the object of their attention maybe affection too. Speaking of embarrassing moments, a friend of mine plagiarized a paper in Old English Lit., resurrected from his frat house tiling cabinet. The grade he received was "A" with a note written above by the professor: "This is very good. When 1 wrote it 25 years ago I got a C!" Time mellows everything. I'eim is a great institution; Guilford, a swell little school. The two are not to lie confused. Enjoy those rolling acres and he glad they are rolling with grass and trees and flowers. Good luck to each one of you and my special regards to the GUILFOBDIAX and its staff.

October 2, 1943 QUIPS and QUIRKS By TWO JERKS This year, as in the past, our column is wholly dependant upon you students. We real ize—and hope you do too—that what we write is all in the spirit of fun. If we hurt anyone's feelings, we are sincerely sorry and offer our humblest apologies. O To start things off, we wish to express our welcome to all of you new students, frosh and transfer. It doesn't take some of you long to catch on to old Quaker traditions, for instance, there's the couple who hiked to the graveyard "to read epitaphs" very interesting if true. Then, you young ladies that go to town should go well equipped so that you won't have to bum 50c off of cops ! O Esther Demeo states that she likes the ratio of five men to one girl instead of five girls to one man, as it is now. You should have seen her this summer—the sweetheart of No. 101 was in the groove! Quoth Miss Demeo at a meeting recently, "I do my best work at night"—just like a Guilford girl! O Add to the latest campus love affairs: Lovely Lovey Ma Wright has sunk her meathooks into "Mah name's Kadow, not Kado!" Nipped in the bud, or Who Slung that Wet Blanket—Trice and Wright. Hartke ought to learn by now that he can't date two girls at one time—quote the voice of experience. This Barney guy took after Stabler like a duck to water. (Is that why he left Swarthmore?) "Big John" wore his barn yard acid resistant shoes on the "Y" retreat last Sunday—he had to protect himself against the woman wrassler woah! "I can't tight that," said Abe Wood when he dated Fulp—he sho' don't call that advance he's making a retreat, does he? Add to that, Haworth says, quote, I'm all Walshed up." Go to many football games, Haworth? O For the past three years there has thrived on this campus a five girl organization calling themselves "The Morons." This year a cheap imitation of the original has sprung to life. Any similarity between this group and the original is purely coincidental. Change overnite depart ment : Wonder why Stormy is feeling so gay these days? Maybe Budy finally got around to asking the S(U question. O Bert Levine just dropped by for a "quicky." It's a lucky thing that Wee Daring happened to lie home. Speaking of Senior Smith, Patty Shoe maker lias been doing a lot of heavy dating lately. "Itchy" Allen got a black eye the other night when lie scratched the wrong leg. We just can't understand why !)2% of the male population suddenly joined the choir— we're just Ait ken to know. One of the fellows didn't know about all of the rules at Founders, Kent somebody please tell himV O What dame from Manhatten that brought the set of golf clubs lias the girl from Jersey that lugged a finger-howl into the dining ball beat a mile? Abe Wood, Ksq., the best looking boy from Asheboro High School, asked us to say that he thinks Alice White is the best looking woman at Guilford. (Wood, we are running a dirt column—if you want to get married around here, you have to be secretary to the President.) These freshmen women that can't walk down stairs yet should be thankful that all they broke was a watch. O Sdioellkcpf wrote today that he is in >. C. 8. learning to be a pilot in the cavalry: pilot here and pilot there. Ttuiiieiihaiim wants us to ask "Itchy" Allen if be wears waterproof shirts 'cause those ties he wears are . . . O Mi's. Kent: "Who was the mother of Moses?" Beeson: "The Pliaroh's daughter." Mrs. Kent: "lint she only found him in the bullriishes." Bcesr.n: "Yes, that's her story." O Weekly song dedications : To the following we dedicate: "Minkn lie Mine" to Dr. Beittel. "Pistol Packing Mama" to Miss Gainey. "Two Cigarettes in the Dark" to any two upperclnssmen girls. "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" to any two fresh men girls. To Cochran from Schenck, "Wait for me Mary." "Kittle Brown Jug" to Perry Beeson "All or Nothing at All" to Patty Shoemaker. To Clyde from Oscar, "Coming in on a Wing ami a Prayer."
