Algie I. Newlin and his wife, Eva

Switzerland, where they will study

The Friends Center in Geneva

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C„ MARCH 22, I!U7
The Bed Is Made
This issue of The Guilfordian finds the editor, managing
editor, business manager and associate editor of The Guil
fordian singing their temporary swan song in their official
capacities connected with the college publication.
The reins have been turned over to a new managerial
staff and the students have been promised a new policy.
We of the old Guilfordian feel confident that this pre
campaign policy will benefit both the students and the
college. We look forward to all improvements which this
political machine seeks to inaugurate. We shall have our
eyes and ears trained especially to see and hear just how
they propose to improve The Guilfordian.
This machine's advertising slogan was "Read The Guil
fordian ON TIME." This is a noble and needed necessity—
if it can be done. To be sure, the new editor will publish
his future publication dates in the next issue so that stu
dents will not have to anticipate future publications, but
issue dates will be ascertained beforehand. This will clar
ify beyond any degree of confusion that catchy and ambig
uous phrase "ON TIME." We have not promised Guil
fordians at regular intervals because it could not be done.
With the printer handling more papers than he has done
in years, with a paper shortage that has been felt all too
often, and with an undersized staff, it has been impossible
to give you Guilfordians as often as we have wished.
There is little need to go into details about the work that
has been involved in these nine issues that we have pub
lished since September. The staff and editors know that
the readers cannot fully appreciate or realize the collective
I effort that goes into every single inch of type. It is not
; the students' fault that they do not understand the toil
behind the finished product, for that comprehension is not
expected of them any more than an English major should
know pre-law. Would you afford us the benefit of the doubt
and simply take our word for it that it was work?
There have been some complaints among the students
this year—students who voice all sorts of ideas for improve
ment but disappear when called up for material help—in
relation to the general set-up and policy of the paper. One
of the staff's greatest mistakes was in not taking advantage
of the opportunity to show these embryonic Greeleys issues
of The Guilfordian which were published prior to last
September. Then, too, we might have shown them other
college papers that are received by the exchange desk. As
to policy, we firmly believe that The Guilfordian has the
widest latitude and freest voice of any school publication
that we have ever seen. Copy has not been censored, and
if and when anything was deleted, it was simply a matter
of taste. Editor, associate editor and others of the staff
have been slammed just as hard and often as any students
in school. This is as it should be, for there is no favoritism
shown by The Guilfordian regarding anyone. Neither were
the columns ever used to satisfy anyone's own personal
satisfaction.
Personally we feel that The Guilfordian has grown from
the toddling baby of a few years ago to a grown man. True,
