Dave Morrah Publishes
Eighth Book, First Novel
David Morrah, Director of Pro
motion for Guilford College since
1957, this month brought out his
newest book — Me and the Liberal
Arts. Mr. Morrah, who for sixteen
years has been a regular contribu
tor to The Saturday Evening Post
and Greensboro Daily News, pre
sented his latest book after eight
months writing. Me and the Liberal
Arts is his eighth book and his first
novel.
Mr. Morrah's book is the story of
a bov who has finished only the
eighth grade, but whose girl is de
termined to marry a college man.
For this reason the boy goes to a
small liberal-arts school with a
400-500 student enrollment. The
plot rests on his efforts to satisfy
the requirements of his girl. The
only villians are the public rela
tions man and the vice-president of
the college.
Me and the Liberal Aits (the il
lustration and jacket design and
painting of which were done by the
author himself) is not drawn from
real characters as such. Written in
a lightly humorous vein, Mr. Mor
rah's book does not follow the epi
sodic struggles of Max Scluilman's
The Many Loves of Dolne Gillis,
but has more plot than Mr. Schul
man was able to incorporate in his
book.
Student Art Exhibit
To Be Held In March
By John Huffman
Now that the semester break is a
memory of the past, we are back to
pencil and pen-pushing. To carry
this activity still further, some stu
dents have arrived at the idea of
brush-stroking. Therefore a deci
sion has been made to have a stu
dent art exhibit. No step has previ
ously been taken to establish a
means by which all students at one
time may demonstrate their artistic
abilities. As a result, some of us
have concluded that there will be
an art exhibit in the Student Union
Lounge on Thursday, March first,
and Friday, March second. This
show is open for participation for
all students Philosophy 24 stu
dents especially! On the evening of
Friday, March 1, there will be a
planned program of discussion on
the meaning of art, which will be
followed by a tea. We are all look
ing forward to this event, extraor
dinary and enjovable to everyone,
participators and spectators.
Bridge, Anyone
By Don Smith
An interesting facet of higher
education in the twentieth century
is the rapid evolution of college
fads. The dance marathons of the
'2o's, the gold fish swallowing of the
'3o's, the wild panty raids of the
'4o's, and the telephone booth cram
ming of the 'so's are some of Amer
ica's most notable college crazes.
In 1961, bed stacking and bed
rolling were in vogue. And now, in
1962, at Guilford College, the latest
fad is introduced—a bridge mara
thon. From February 2-10, thirty
boys from New North section of
Cox Hall played one continuous
two hundred hour bridge game,
reaching a total of over fifteen hun
dred hands. Each Polar Bear play
ed an average of thirty hours dur
ing the marathon. At 9:30 p.m. on
February 10, 1961, after wearing
out five decks of cards and after
surviving a flu epidemic, a local
disaster, and the release of the
semester grades, the boys played
the last hand and turned out the
lights in room no. 133 for the first
time in eight days and eight nights.
The most sinful impulses in man
. . . are the very forces which, prop
erly directed, motivate the virtues;

Our library has received two fine
gifts recently. Senator Robert Lee
Humber, who was a recent lecturer
on our campus, gave two folios of
etchings by Louis Ore, a noted
artist and etcher. The etchings are
of famous North Carolina land
marks.
Mrs. Edythe Latham Bloch, a
former Greensboro resident, gave
the library six books that were mail
ed to us by publishers in England.
The books are given in memory of
her father, John L. Latham of
Greensboro. The books were select
ed by Mr. Rupert Hart-Davis, a
publisher and biographer, and by
Mr. William D. Hogarth, who is
head of the Athlone Press of the
University of London. Each man
selected three books that he, from
the stand point of an Englishman,
wished to be read by young college
students in the United States. The
books are Other Men's Flowers, an
anthology of English poetry; China
Court, a novel by Rumer Godden;
The Earlij H. G. Wells, a biogra
phy by one of England's young crit
ics, Bernard Bergonzi; Ring of
Bright Water, a nature story by
Gavin Maxwell who lives in Scot
land; Hugh Walpole, a biography
by Rupert Hart-Davis; and Come
Hither, an anthology of poetry edit
ed by Walter de la Marc. The
books will soon be on display in the
library.
In the future the library will ex
liibit some of the books purchased
by proceeds from last year's faculty
talent show.
