Have you ever truged through the slimy, anklc-deep mud that is commonly called a walk between Mary Ilobbs and Founders? Those of Mary Ilobbs and those who are forced to travel that way during the rainy season will give out with a disgusting "yes." llow many times has the traveler, bogged down in the middle of the walk, remarked that as soon as he made his first million he would gladly donate a four lane drive? How many of the righteous have had occasion to think evil thoughts due to that clinging, slippery mud? We now have an opportunity to con tribute our share in building a passable walk. The Student Volunteer Work Plan which was so successful last year will go into effect again this year after spring vacation. If the students will volunteer to do the labor, the college will furnish us with the materials. The walk needs to have its face lifted and graded for a final top coat of crushed granite. Flagstones cannot be obtained at this time because of the lack of mining facilities. A system will be planned so that stu dents may volunteer to work an hour or more a week. This project should get under way as soon as possible after spring vacation. Don't complain; volunteer to remedy the sif nation! Civic Duty Our campus elections Tuesday will put many of your friends in the limelight. In Mem Hall we have printed a ballot listing all the candidates and the offices to be filled. We ask you to consider these people carefully before making your choice. You have had a chance to see these candidates when they were introduced in chapel Thursday, and hear their qualifications. You have two more days in which to weigh their respective merits and make your choice. Every organization needs a leader, a capable, experienced one to guide you through the next year which is likely to bring financial troubles, slashed budgets, and reduced enrollment. The war has de creased the student body so that each organization receives a smaller percentage 011 which to operate. Many potential leaders have had to leave college. The ones who are left will have to carry more Love I'nrequited I love he, lie loves she, She ain't me; That's why Me and he Ain't we! —West Pointer O Recent independent non-commercial surveys show detinite (rends along communistic lines. The rapid-lire growth of tile "Share the Man Campaign," starting with one or two enterpris ing commando-ettes soon gained enormous mo mentum. The last straw-poll indicated that the frenzied innneuveringK of the former "one and unites" had won a temporary victory but the challengers, fresh and with increasing vigor, are racing with good odds. O The saddest words of tongue or pen Are just these four—There are no men! O It seems that Koxie .lane is tying knots with the heart strings of several of the campus lads, to say nothing of enlisted men! Date-less girls are just waiting for the day when she'll settle down to one and leave the rest for the general public. O It was down in the parlor they started to kiss— Who did? Certainly not a Guilford girl! A bashful young lad and a blushing young miss, And ALL The girls looked 'round the corner. She placed her arms about him, they loudly did kiss lint look! Who's that coming up with a frown? They rudely were seized in the midst of their bliss— She got Four house cuts and a campus, While he Went to W. C. O Sir Jarkas' Wright has started again his quarterly perambulations around campus in his eternal quest for the holy frail. O The bi'lzzes, the brizz.es. They blow through the frizzes, Tliey wllizzes and whizzes Wherever they plizzes. They give folkzes snlzzes, All sorts of dizzezzes— (dizgusting, izzn't it?) O Definition of niece—a place where girls should wear their skirts below. O Senta Anion deserves a lot of credit for the amount of time and work she has been putting in on her thesis at Duke I'niversity. Latest reports are that it is to lie entitled, "How to Tell a Wolf from a Fox." Passionately yours, Curdle and Rot. responsibility and be particularly efficient and capable. We want to warn you against voting for .just your friends or for the "jolly good fellow" who is everyone's friend but will do no work. Vote for leaders who will work conscientiously and try to meet and understand their problems instead of push ing them onto someone else's shoulders. Remember you will have to follow these leaders for the rest of this year and the next so cast your vote with an eye 011 the future. And don't forget to vote! M. 11. THE GUILFORDIAN CAMPUS PERSONALITIES by Sfat>e.e -'k. ISAIXAI) OF THREE MEN All, lie's m skipper line, Ihe.v said, To guard the starboard plank: The.v put him in a suit of blue— Lieutenant was his rank. No longer master of his class To theorize oil x, y, v., And castigate philosophers Who sought the "Power to be." To say that truth is this and that, A circled dot upon the hoard, That nil opposed are blundering fools— This officer abhorred. The fountainhends of truth for him Are found in two plus two — Xo Plato shouted in his ear Of what and how to do. lie got dressed up and headed west. The IT boats went zooming by— And on warm San Diego sands, The physicist did lie. He listened to a radio "And lived a life of ease. When Gracie joked and Frankie crooned A voice said "This way, please." And so this Caliban consents To seek new playground space. It's up the coast to Boston town — A swift destroyer race! And all this time upon a rock The chemist-ofticer is found— The sky is blue, the waters deep That surge upon the sound. Lieutenant junior grade he is, That handsome tweed-roughed man, The esquire of our campus once, Beau Hrumniel of the land. He mixed his chemicals with pride, Confounding all who entered there. Ilis hat an iron-ruled domain— Your ignorance lay bare! We sent the forth to war—three men— A private and lieutenants two. Pedantic circle, trilogy Of wit, and scorn, and truth— The moral is—don't fret your time On Plato, math, or chemistry. Let Queenie exercise your brain, Your forte-psychology! It. It. i mtirtlmer am becoming a prominent person age of late mr hire mistook me for an ink spot but on investigating further decided i was a gnilfordian whose character should he investi gated for my special benefit lie went into one of his seances and pulled the family skeleton out of the closet between i and victoria and you we think he enjoys analyzing the feminine elements did you know that inar.v liobbs missed their tire drill the other night because fuki locked hazel jo iu the john so she rould ring the bell i laughed till my antennae trembled when i saw ashcan martie robinson and bobbie Williams trying to lix dixoris flat tires but they diii, it and got a free ride what is this Victorian generation coming to everyone is trying to get sunburned so as to look real glamorous but so far they are fooling only themselves the lotion i mortimer March 18, 1944 QUIPS and QUIRKS By TWO .JERKS Another issue rolls around and we haul out out lmttered typewriter, put >n our thinking caps, and sit down to summarize and elab orate on l lie happenings of the past two or three weeks. Theme song of the Monogram Club: "Red Tails in the Sunset." Three new members to the Spanish Club have just been announced, Kl I .oho Thomas, Kl l.nho Ota, and Kl Lolto Hourassa, and these gentlemen certain ly have lived up to their Casanova reputations. Now that .Jimmy .loe has departed for the Air Corps (we really miss liiin). Slick (ianihle has come into his own, no one but Wood could even come close to matching his nineteen suits and eight pairs of shoes. In answer to your request. Miss Horn, we aro sorry to inform you that the Guilford College Telephone Company cannot run a private line from your room to the New North Suite, so the fellows in old North again pledge their loyalty, support, and undying devotion, and will continue delivering your messages to your "Darling 'leetle' Eddie." Our campus is hon ored to have the original model of the duckpin, namely, one "Junior" (iriswoid. Ilaworth and Walsh are completely overjoyed about going together again: in fact, they make it a public demonstration, car lights and everything. It's a lucky thing for "ISig Jawnny" that he lias the lower bunk, for he couldn't have made it to the top one last Sunday night after dating Jean. O If anyone wants a nice job. "Bubbles" Beyer is in the market for a valet. lie just can't seem to appreciate the fact that the fellows won't aid him in putting on his coat, and when he knocks at their doors, lie isn't invited in and treated like the I'rince of Wales. Silence reigns in our dining hall until the thundering twitter of feminine voices is heard, spasmodic reactions, of course. It seems as if the women would tuck their shirt tails in because one show ing is enough. Dick Tracy isn't the only one who has a "Flat Top" on his hands—look at Clyde. We wonder if "Omar" is having it hard time to get material to spread over his column. That column Is really something to marvel at; in fact, some people consider "Omar's" column to be the most outstanding one on the campus. We noticed In the past issues of the "Inquir ing Reporter" Unit people complain about the two "dirt columns." Well, we'd be willing to bet our bottom dollar that those hypocrites read the columns first—because if they didn't read 'em, how would they know what to complain about? Kinda like the old saying that an empty wagon is the one that rattles the most. Note to Dottie (iilhert: N. Mendenhali was in the hospital for six weeks after laying llie cornerstone for Memorial I bill. This important historical note was omitted in your treatise of !. ('. Quote liourassa to Martie: "Meet me down !il the pawn shop ..." . Esther Demeo has been quoted as saying that she wishes the summer school would hurry up and get here— where the ratio of men to women is three to one. She did O.K. on that count, from what we remember about her last summer. Ah tne, for liic life of the "Sweetheart of 101." We believe that the clamping down on the smoking rules will tend to protect our beautiful forests around the college. For many years disastrous fires have broken out—but now the song the girls sing is "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire," rather than "Smoke (Jets in Your Eyes." That's all for this issue, and we hope that after everyone reads our column we'll be around for the next one. Stretch and Frap. smclled nice and attracted m.v country cousins i ami victoria were out walking the other day when a bit: red lire bug whizzed by victoria had dots on the spot lint lias recovered and will live the dangerous biped turned into hughes brown in a ml shirt astride a noisy gas con suming contraption lie thinks he is beau bnim mel we have decided that ben brown is 011 a permanent furlough he spends so much time at founders victoria is giving a tea tomorrow for scoop in the linen closet victoria lias been hav ing a gay time with all the brothers visiting 011 campus it pays to have friends i and victoria will miss sailor pres down at his little store but we are drying our tears and wishing him tlic best of luck victoria thinks the queens now suit is becoming but i like kadows plaid shirt i and victoria are eating spinach to get energy so we can pull botanical specimens 011 the ten nis courts
