May we begin by expressing our
appreciation 1o the student body
lor making Reading Day such a
success. It was, in our opinion,
used to great advantage, and is
most worthy of a repeat perlorni

take this success into considera

THE GUILFORDIAN
Blisters And Ulcers
A gentleman, whose name
slips us at present, once said that
the only trouble with ulcers is
that you can have them and still
not be successful. We would hold
that this is true with blisters, too.
This all goes back to an editorial
in the May 14 issue of the Guil
fordian entitled "Blisters Come
with Progress." When we wrote
that editorial we were commend
ing the 1954 work day project and
pointing out that the blisters don't
insure progress; and are we really
getting the most for our blisters.
Since the introduction of a
"work day" some five years ago,
the project has slipped slightly.
In recent years, a lack of long--
range planning resulted in the
faculty having to call a special
meeting to consider a last-minute
student proposal. The result came
( lose to being abolishment of the
project.
Might it not be weil for those
in charge of the project to began
plans for the 1955 project in the
near future, and come up with
a complete and concrete proposa l .
We would reiterate our suggestion
ol last May that one large project
might be more valuable than
numerous small ones. Such a pro
ject would, we feel, add much to
the spirit as well as the results.
feel the student body has proved
it will not abuse the privilege, and
that a Reading Day just prior to
second s c m e s te r examinations
j would produce as worthwhile
i results as did the one just pas'.
Our commendation also to those
who displayed such outstanding
spirit in supporting the Quakers
against Lenoir-Rhyne last week.
You made the loss look good; let's
Letter To The Editor
Mr. Editor.
A varsity letter it the highest
award a school can make to its
athletes. The letter is worn proud
ly in recognition of service to the
institution which awards it.
On this campus, the wearers of
the varsity "G" are the men who
have served the school and its
athletic programs. They are so
recognized and respected. The
same is not, and should not, be
true of those wearing letter:- other
than the "G".
We believe that those who wear
letters of other colleges or high
schools would feel that the "G"
would be out of place on the cam
pus where they won the award,
and they would be quite correct.
Traditionally, the only letters
worn on any campus are the var
sity letters of that particular in
stitution.
We would like, therefore, to
clarify the question in the minds
of many of the students. If we
must advertise, let's advertise
Guilford; it's our school. We don't
feel it right to advertise athletes
and schools other than our own.
It is quite permissable to re
move the letter and still wear the
sweater or jacket, but in recogni
tion of our alma mater, let's rc
irain from wearing other schools'
varsity letters.
The Monogram C'lu'o
keep up that sort of school spirit
We want a chance to make our
si Ives heard in the Nc rth Stati
Tournament this year.
May we also extend our bes
wishes to the Religious Emphasi
Week committee. We feel tha
Religious Emphasis Week has beei
a valuable addition to the life o
the College in the past, and wi
look for the coming week lo b
most inspiring.

Chalkmarks
By Hay Chalkley
Guilford students seem to haw
taken a sudden interest in getting
to classes on time. Last week our
distinguished speaker from the U
N. was greeted with groans,
moans, and sighs when he asked
for further questions after the
Chapel period was supposed to
have ended. To top it off, he hard
ly received any applause lor his
well-presented and timely talk.
This same phenomenon repeats it
self week after week. The profes
sors, evidently, are doing a splen
did job in arousing class interest.
Rumor has it that the Board
of Trustees has approved the peti
tion asking for the continuation
of pre-season football practice
presented to it by the Men's Stu
dent Government on behalf of the
student body. As of this writing,
no official statement has been re
leased; though one is expected
shortly. Although approved, the
petition will probably be quali
fied to some extent by the Board.
At least, we have been shown
that student interest and welfare
are given consideration by *he
administrative forces of the Col
lege.
Through the generosity 01 Mr.
E. P. Brown, a member oi the-
Board of Trustees from Murfrees
boro. Coach Meredith now has his
long sought-after glass back
boards. They are expected to be
installed before the next hoim
game.
T.R.C. Meets
Dr. Richard Bardolph was llic
guest speaker at the meeting of
the International Relations Club
on Thursday night, January 27, in
the Fine Arts Room. Dr. Bar
dolph's topic was Anti-American
ism, a subject which should be of
great interest to all since it in
volves attitudes of other nations
toward the United States.
Dr. Bardolph is professor of
History at Woman's College of the
University of North Carolina.
