The Garbage
By Gary Lessner
Nestled in the gently rolling
Piedmont Plateau and shaded by
groves of giant oak and hickory
trees. ... In case you're won
dering, this describes where you
are presently spending your
days and nights. . . and weeks
and months and years also. This
little corner of the GUILFORD
IAN will be devoted to opening
new gateways of thought and in
quiry to each and every Guil
fordian. Per chance these ef
forts will not be in the same
direction or depth that is advo
cated by the faculty but, to be
sure, it is hoped that the items
contained herein will be thought
provoking and stimulating.
Now to get started.
Extra curricular activities play
a large part on all college cam
puses, Guiliord no exception.
Why only last week a student
bowling league was organized
on the third floor north, of the
New Men's Dorm. Unfortunately
bowling generates quite a bit of
noise especially in dormitory
hallways. For this reason, and
about 250 others, the league was
immediately disbanded. A fur
ther effort at creating a new
sport involving dumb bell rolling
was also discontinued.
The Catawba College gymnas
ium was redecorated the night
before the football game by
that other institution. It has been
reported that the face lifting was
not entirely in tune to that which
its college officials had in mind.
However we must remember
change represents progress . . .
in one direction or another.
And speaking of Catawba. For
mer Indian star football and bas
ketball player, Bucky Pope, com
mented in a radio interview that
Jimmy Williams was the toughest
quarterback he had faced in col
lege. Pope is pow a rookie star
with the Los Angeles Rams.
Isn't it interesting how some
of the biggest snowmen are al
ways the first to get really snow
ed? Holy matrimony awaits two
of the above mentioned types.
Richard Jones, '63 goes down the
drain early in March followed by
Barry Roth '64, a few weeks
later. That's the way love is.
that's how it goes. (From the
song of the same name).
Congratulations to our cheer- j
leaders on the innovation of |
many new cheers in their reper
toire. Keep it up girls. 1

Look for a pleasant change in

chalk up Sadie Hawkins night as
another success in the long line
of innovations inspired by Mr.
John "Curly" Lee.
I hate to criticize, but the
Union has become one large
sized combination garbage can
and ash tray. Seriously now,
there is no reason why those who
frequent the place can't endea
vor to use the trash cans and
ash trays which are sitting there
awaiting used cups and butts.
I wonder what the chances are
that some responsible organiza
tion on campus will try to bring
professional entertainment to
Guilford. Two years ago the
Brothers Four performed here.
Last year it was the Drifters.
Let's not stop now.
The Traffic Committee of the

they have done so far this year.

One actually comes to the re
alization that he is a senior when
he is cheerfully reminded by his
major professor that he'd better
get his butt working on a thesis
if he wants to get out of here.
Incidentally, if you're not busy
some day, check out the thesis
catalog in the Library. Thesis
have been written on some pret
ty interesting topics. And vice
versa too.
Someone once said that it is
never inappropriate to close a
such as this with a quote
from a famous poet. Therefore,
since it is autumn, it is only fit
ting that this article close with
the lines of that oft quoted ode j
o fall:
Leaves are falling on my head.
Some are yellow, some are red,
But I don't care, they don't
hurt.

MSC WEEKEND
In April the Men's Student
Council is planning a big fiesta
for Guilford College students. It
shall be known as the MSC Week
end. A concert by some well
, known artist is planned for
'either Friday night or Saturday
afternoon. This will be followed
by a combo party that Saturday
night. Both events will be free
for Guilford College students.
In order to achieve its plans
the MSC seeks a goal of SI,OOO.
The MSC is presently trying to
raise this money through the
sale of doughnuts. MSC Repre
sentatives will be through the
dorms regularly in order to pro
mote this sale. The success of
the MSC Weekend depends upon
it—so buy.

' The Senator Statesmen
BY HAROLD CLARK
Has the defeat of Senator
Goldwater at the polls signaled
a fatal blow to the Republican
Party? Many have said that it
does, and at least one major na
tional magazine prophesied that
it would as long ago as last June.
It is likely that in the following
months we will witness the Re
publican party traveling the way
of the Progressives, the Popu
lists, the Greenbacks, or the
Mugwumps? Or can we expect
to see it reduced to a minor
party such as the Theological
Party, or the Socialist Party?
The answer to all these ques
tions is a resounding no!
In this election the Republican
Party cornered twenty-six mil
lion votes against an incumbant
that had relative peace, (Rare
ly is it your father or brother
that is killed in South Vietnam,
only 290 Amercans have died
this way. Only 290 American
families have had to bear that
kind of direct contact with the
war. Besides, as President John
son pointed out while campaign
ing in New England, more citi
zens are killed 011 Texas high
ways in one month than have
been killed in South Vietnam in
three years) prosperity, and
built in campaign charges
against his opponent (thanks to
the pre-convention efforts of
Misters Rockefeller and Scran
jton). Only twice in this century
has an incumbant President been
turned down by the people. Once
in 1912 when President Taft had
to fight both Roosevelt and Wil
son. The other time in 1932
when President Hoover had to
bear the depression on his shoul
ders when he fought Franklin
Roosevelt. Peace and Prosperity
are hard things to fight during
a campaign, and as one political
scientist put it, "You can't beat
'em." National Review, a maga
zine very favorable to the Sena
tor, admitted that the chances
for Goldwater's election were
one in five. Goldwater and the
Republican Party faced fantastic ;
odds, and lost.
I A party needs three things to
survive. The first is money, the
second is workers, and the third
is organization. The Republican
Party after this election still has
jail of these. It has over $50,000
in its coffers as a result of this
last campaign's appeal for funds.
Over 1,300,000 small contribu
tes gave to this campaign. No
campaign in history has ever
had this much popular, financial
support. Republican headquar
ters all over the nation were
flooded with helpers during this
election. It had an abundance of
workers. And, despite the fact
that there is now a movement to
unseat the National Republican
Committee's chairman, Dean
Burch, there is still a strong Re
publican organization in the
country.
November 28, 1964
BY DAVID MOCKFORD
The question on the lips of
[ practically all people who are
( even passively interested in poli-
tics is, has the Republican Party
L really fallen flat on its conserv
ative face. Through observation
t of the recent halocaust, an opin
. ion of this nature could seem to
r have very substantial grounds;
' but alas, it is not true.
' The vital questions are who
will take the reigns and what
■ direction will the buggy travel.
' I believe that the American pub
; lie has amply demonstrated its
■ dislike of the conservative phi
losophy and that any man, who
is or was a proponent of this
belief, had better take a long
look at some other field of en
i deavor.
Mr. Goldwater is as politically
dead as any one individual could
. get. If he were to attempt to
•> maintain control of the party
machinery, I believe that this
[ would only compound the injury
t already suffered.
The fault for the massive de
: feat can not be laid solely at the
feet of Mr. Goldwater. A great
deal of it must fall upon the
shoulders of the hierarchy of the
Republican Party. Their opti
, mism toward a victory in 1964
after a defeat In 1960 must, and
evidently was, somewhat dam
; pened. To review, they ran a
man who had a good record, was
vice president of the United
States, and had the support of
| the most well-known and best
liked political personalities of
the day against a man who had
only a good record and great
personal appeal. They lost.
There could be little hope of
beating an incumbent with a
good record and one of not only
the finest personal appeals of
the day, but rather of the his
tory of the United States.
President Kennedy's death
served only to strengthen the
, Democrat's hold ,and with a su
-1 perb political master at the helm,
victory was inevitable. The Re
publican Party's defeatism, their
willingness to lie by the wayside
I until a favorable opportunity de
veloped was their downfall.
The Republican Party needs
new life; personalities that will
capture the imagination of the
public. They need to follow
through with a overall firm sup
port of a unified political appeal.
The Democrats must not let
the present stability go to their
heads. They must think in very
good terms of a possible swing
that will favor the Republicans.
This swing may be caused by the
Democratic landslide: a reaction
by the voting public initiated by
the centralization of power issue.
For you people who like to
speculate, I should like to sug
gest the following: President
| Johnson will not run again; Hu
bert Humphrey will make a bid
for the nominaton but will be
defeated by Robert Kennedy;
And Mr. Kennedy will be run
ning against Governor Romney
of Michigan. If this situation
develops, the presidential race
n 1968 will be a very close one
with a slight edge going to Ken
nedv.
The challenge to the Republi
can Partv in the next four years
is one that calls for strength,
unity, and initiative.

downs had there not been just
on e determined tackier in the
wav. But that all came to an end
this weekend. In the third quar
ter Billy Joye found himself
more determined than any tac
kier out there, and there were
many that came his way. This
time he eluded them all. It was
something that both he and his
fans deserved. What a fabulous
way to end a fabulous career!
