Gilbert, David Parsons Subscription price SI.OO per year Member Pbsockated Golle&iate Press Your Vote: Its Significance During a political campaign, the citi zen is constantly deluged with claims and counter-claims of the various candidates. This is as it should be; for in order that he may he able to make intelligent de cisions that may have bearing on his future as well as that of his nation, he must be able to listen open-mindedly to both sides of the question. Guilford College students should be espe cially well qualified to weigh the claims of one office-speaker against those of his op ponents, do this open-mindedly and arrive at a decision. In a sense, college students are more able to do this than the general public, so that is an added incentive to those of you who are 21—in Georgia, the minimum age is 18—to register and to vote in the coming elections. Democracy means a cooperative associa tion in which all members make their con tribution to the whole community. The number of potential voters who clo not cast a ballot in any election —whether munici pal, county, state or national—can be and are the deciding factor in determining the form of government America will have. If this is not enough inducement to vote in the coming elections, you should bear in mind that, as in Germany, Japan and Spain, there are many waiting to do the governing for the people. Americans are more fortunate than most peoples in that they are allowed free and democratic elec tions. To think that because some poli ticians are not what they should be and therefore it is not necessary to vote, is pure folly. Democracy means all; Americans will get in return what they as individuals put into it. American soldiers are fighting with bul lets ... Can't Americans fight with ballots ? J. S. Will You Vote? There are 37 students 011 campus who are old enough to vote. Those who are from out of state cannot register in North Caro lina. They must write to the chairman of the Board of Elections' in their home pre cinct and request an absentee ballot. This must be properly filled out ami returned by November 7. Those from North Caro lina must be a permanent resident of the state for one year and of their precinct for foil}' months. You may .vote t>y i( absentee ballot if you live in of the state.

Guil ford extends sincere greetings to all of her returning alumni 011 this Homecoming Day. The alumni may notice many changes in the College's physical environment i.e., out-moded buildings. However, she antici pates a bright future with remodeled and new structures. The students are backing the campaign with their hearts as the alumni are backing it with their dollars. With renewed courage Guilford will keep alive the rich heritage and culture which has been liers. 1 - 1 w THE GUILFORDIAN On the During the coming year we will try to dig nil the "dirt" that is tit to print and it will l>e published in this column each time the GUILFOKOIAN goes to press. We want it under stood that no remarks in this column should be taken very seriously, although there is some truth in them. If there are any "complaints" about this column, please inform the editor. O Our "esteemed" editor, we have it I)}' popu lar rumor, pulled a boner in Dr. Newlin's class on tiie division and separation of powers. When I>r. Newlin asked her, "What is the matter?" she said nothing. But we know it was the "Looie" that visited her just the day before. O On October 17, 1044, a certain young "Frosh" walked into the library covered with war paint. Now we are of the opinion that we will have to "Dock" the nursemaid's pay because it was very obvious that she had failed to Instruct him as to the proper use of a "hankie"! O We have it through various and also reliable channels, which are considered to be very au thoritative, that J. Demeo is, and we quote, "loosing his touch." It now appears that lie has regained it; must have been the change in the weather. O There is a certain young man on the campus, namely the President of the .Men's Student Gov ernment who has been teaching the men new songs. This young man lias frequently been seen standing on his head. I wonder why? Now it is "Polly." Watch out "Pol." O A new student whose name is, well we won't mention that, but he is the "King rin" of the red-headed men on the campus. This young man collided with a telephone i>le in Greens boro while wolfing fair damsels across the way. We just wonder who put that telephone pole in front of him? O The Mayor was very startled upon his ar rival to find his room a beautiful "Baby" blue. What's this world coming to? O It is the opinion of this column that "King" David's conking has been pretty good during the years that we have been here. We don't think that his cooking standards dropped so low in one summer. Girls of Mary Mobbs have you had any eggs for breakfast? O In this case, we think that a word to the wise is sufficient. FRESHMEN please NOTE and we do mean the men. Let's have a little more respect and a little less flippancy. O Another matter has been brought to our at tention. Since when does the Men's A.A. furnish the Women's A.A. or a select few of them anyway with sweat pants and shirts? O We have among us on the campus a "Jack of all trades" the first one we've seen since '42. O We have some pretty big ducks on our little pond this year, and our advice to them is to "Straighten Up and Fly Right." We have heard a rumcr, that is just between us and the people we meet, that the faculty is taking dancing lessons Wednesday evenings. O What's this we hear about a little "Ray" of sunshine beaming over Holland? O Hamp sure faked a bad foot, but he could dance with Dot. What is this, Boy? O We didn't know that Jonathan Dixon is a former "boy Sprout." But we heard from re liable sources that lie can actually build a fire, lie seems to be at his best on picnics. O Best wishes to Ilussey who is getting mar ried tonight. Martie, M. .1.. and Stabee will be there to add the Guilford spirit. O The second Sunday we were here three "Beau Brummels" alias "Casanovas" swore off women, but from cur observation it appears that they have discarded their recent declaration for "!) :40" every night.* O We sincerely hope that Homecoming day this year will be a total success. With the full co operation of the students, it can't be otherwise. All in fun, Stretch, Stubby, and Yank. * IlaworCli, Andrew, and Sapp. October 21, 1944 Through the Looking Glass By JOHN SEVIER Dumbarton Oaks and International Stability Not even the most nrdent Isolationist or the most militant imperialist will deny the neces sity for creating a post-war world, economically stable and reasonably free from periodic up henvels such as the world now witnesses. Few will deny that, in order to achieve stability throughout the world, there must be decent living standards —fair wages, slum clearance, uplifting of social standards; there must be equal and fair access to the world's raw ma terials in order that the workers may receive higher wages, the farmer may receive better prices for his products, and that the business man may make a fair return on his invest ments ; and there must be governments in the various nations who act to make their respec tive countries better places to live in. Dumbarton Oaks was a turning point in American thinking with relation to world con ditions in the post-war era. Ever since Ameri can rejection of the Wilsonlan league, the United States lias pursued a policy ranging from naval disarmament to lend-lease, from political isolationism to political confusion, from cut-throat economic imperialism to fairer world trade. True, Americans had their At lantic Charter, their "One World," their Cul bertson plan and many more contributions to the melting pot for humanitarian idealism, but Dumbarton Oaks was the first practical step toward putting these theories into practice. The decisions made at Teheran and Moscow made plain the determination of the United Nations to cooperate to make a peaceful world, but left unsaid the matter of how this was to come about. On the other hand, Dumbarton Oaks goes a step farther by calling for an in ternational organization composed of the 42 united and so-called "peace-loving" nations and an executive council composed of eleven mem bers—the big four, United States, Great Britain, China and Russia, and seven other rotating members to be elected by the assembly. This organization will be backed up by the armed forces of the respective nations and can be sent out on orders of the organization. The plan will go to members of the United Nations for thorough discussion. Americans have a plan for world stability . . . they must apply it. Americans have the machinery . . . they must make it work. But a plan and machinery are not all. The citizens of the United Nations must take it as their personal responsibility to utilize their oppor tunity for discussing world organization. The voices of industry, labor, agriculture, the white collar workers, educators and students must be heard. There must lie a sense of cooperation for the achievement of this world stability that is so necessary to international welfare. Petty market-grabbing must be subordinated to equit able access to world raw materials; pressure groups—whether i f labor, industry, business or agriculture—must bo subordinated to the com mon welfare. Guilfordians, think in terms of stability . . . act in terms of world stability. It is people just like Guilford College students who will act on the plan and make its machinery work. In ail phases of the coming debates, think in terms of stability thrrugh maximum emphasis on human welfare and subordination of all things detrimental to the common welfare. Maintain an objective viewpoint. This is a world peace . . . the world must make it stick. John Sevier would like to hear from you with regard to ideas presented. The Ciuilfi rdian will attempt to make all viewpoints heard.—Ed. DANCING GLASS Ho, varlets all, trim Seniors down, How is your ballroom dancing? Are you the drooping, creeping type Or are you prone to prancing? To dance, we hoar, one must be light And balance on one's toes So visitors sometimes interrupt An unexpected pose. Though loud above the music peals The desperate, "One, two, three I" We're working hard. In several years NijinsUis we will be!
