The Garbage
For those of you who have a
difficult time in the morning try
ing to discern what type of weather
the day has brought, try this easy
solution: Feel the radiator in your
room. If it is warm, the weather
outside is warm. If it is cold, the
weather, too, is cold.
Guilford has again carried a
guiding light in the field of higher
education. This time, the South's
only Quaker college has shown
the world that there is absolutely
no need for the semester break.
It is useless to allow students a few
days rest after exams, because, ob
viously, they are energetic and
eager to go right back to classes
as soon as exams are finished. Pro
fessors too, share this philosophy.
They look forward to beginning
second semester classes so that they
will have something to do while
correcting hundreds of first semes
ter finals. And the proof of the
pudding is shown by the record
time it took first semester grades
to appear.
Let's not have any more speak
ers like Charles Estus in chapel.

people around here will start think-

Note to the maintenance depart

Frazier Flats are wearing out a path
which runs from their apartments
all the way to Dana. Better call
back the cement trucks. On second

idea to just pave the whole campus

Volunteers

... It was back in 1951 that little
Johnny's father called him into an
empty room and told him the facts
of life. He told Johnny to forget
the idea of becoming President
of the United States, a cowboy or
a baseball player, "because things
like that don't happen to kids like
you." Instead he impressed Johnny
with the thought of becoming a
doctor or a lawyer. One day, in
Sunday school, Johnny's pastor
told him that "doctors and lawyers
are good people because they help
and bring comfort to those in need
of it." Johnny told his father what
the pastor had said. His father
agreed and also added that "its a
darn good way to make a living."
From that day on, Johnny knew
that he wanted to be a professional
man—and nothing could change
his mind. When he listened to folk
music and was in a very idealistic
frame of mind, he wanted to help
the sick and bring comfort to those
in need of it. When he picked up a
copy of Esquire and saw the ad
vertisements he entered a very
materialistic frame of mind and
thought of that darn good way to
make a living.
Today Johnny has only one prob
lem. He doesn't know whether he
is going to college to help others
or to help himself.
Well if your name is Johnny and
you are faced with that very dis
tressing problem, we've got a solu
tion.
We know of a job opportunity
that is very rewarding. You can
help people, you can make good
money and you don't even have
to go to college.
Due to the fact that there are
so many professional men, our
cities and towns are having a prob
lem finding garbage collectors, jani
tors, street cleaners, plumbers, and
other skilled workers of a similar
nature.
In short time it is our belief that
the laws of supply and demand
will go into operation and a sewer
worker will be paid more than a
brain specialist.

the coming situation, please fill out
and mail this coupon to: Job Place
ment Center, c/o The Guilfordian.
Gentlemen,
It is my understanding that you
will try to place me in a menial but
worthwhile occupation. I sincerely
want to help people and make a
lot of money, but most of all I
don't want to go to college.

AFRICAN NATIONALISM
Within the past two decades,
our lifetime, the "Dark Continent"
of Africa, a slumbering supersti
tious behemoth, has been trans
formed into an explosive, frus
trated young giant, straining to
break the bonds of prejudice, pov
erty, racism and superstition.
Africa's situation is evidenced in
creasingly on the international
scene: in the Afro-Asian Bloc of
the United Nations, at the "Kenne
dy Round" of talks under the Gen
eral Agreement on Trade and
Tariff, in the recent Congo massa
cres, in the recent Egypt-American
diplomatic relations, in the
"apartheid" system of the Union
of South Africa, and in the overall
tripartite ideological power strug
gle between the Soviet Union, the
People's Republic of China, and
die West within Africa itself.
In all of the turmoil of Africa's
attempt to span centuries of politi
cal-economic-sociological develop
ment within a matter of decades,
the one gleam of hope seems to be
the major desire on the part of
Africans to develop a uniquely
African identity, disassociated with
the East or the West. This type of
attitude is growing and manifests
itself with the Pan-African move
ments, which are still far from
maturation. The important thing
within these movements is that they
are being advocated, even though
in reality they are impossible to
implement at this time. However,
if the future witnesses the birth
of Pan-Africa, the international
political scene may see the rebirth
of that "fair-haired" child of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centu
ries, the Balance of Power.
Internally, the problems of Africa
seem well nigh overwhelming.
Many of the new nations received
their independence from the former
colonial power of Europe within
the first four years of the
This sudden burgeoning of small,
poor, and unstable nations was due
to factors both internal and ex
ternal to Africa. They are too
numerous to mention now. The
fact remains that these nations,
small, powerless, non-industrial,
illiterate, subsisting agriculturally,
are being expected to mobilize their
force so as to prepare to enter the
international political scene as re
sponsible participants. This is
where the burden of their ill
preparation for independence is
heaviest. The new nations are ruled
by a small group of intelligentsia,
educated for the most part, within
the universities of the former co
lonial powers. In most cases, the
men holding these positions of re
sponsibility are dedicated to build
ing the new Africa. When they
have to face tribal animosities,
illiterate masses, and racial preju-

dices, they seem to lose some of
their benevolence and dedication
by becoming almost dictatorial in
an attempt to create situations of
growth and improvement in the
face of these obstacles. The United
States must not allow its traditional
distrust and dislike for dictators
and authoritarianism to obscure
the fact that possibly this is the
only way to bring about an im
proved situation. It should be point
ed out that with both Soviet and
Western economic aid, the African
nations have made surprising
strides toward their goals. Again,
however, it is unfortunate to note
the ideological struggle which ac
companies this aid, even though
the greatest proportion is from the
West.
Though African nationalism
faces unbelieveable tasks in at
tempting to update Africa to mid-
Twentieth Century times, the
greatest task seems to be the ful
fillment of the spirit of nationalism.
In this fight, one can hardly over
look the bitterness and hatred the
African nations feel toward Por
tugal and the white rulers of the
Union of South Africa and its
sphere of influence, Southern Rho
desia and Southwest Africa. The
problem of Portugal is that she
cannot survive within Western
Europe without her overseas Afri
can colonies. Her tenacity in hold
ing on to Goa in India in the 1950s
will certainly be intensified in her
outlook concerning Angola and
Mozambique. One possible answer
to Portugal's situation would be
to allow her into the European
Economic Community and to aid
her in an industrialization process.
South Africa's problem is much
less capable of solution. She is the
wealthiest and most highly devel
oped of all the African nations.
Through her persistence at
"apartheid," she has isolated herself
from her neighbors and much of
the world. Nevertheless, she can
survive on her own resources. The
United States is being criticized
within the United Nations for not
taking a stronger stand against
South Africa than it has done al
ready. If this were the case,
though, would not we be guilty
of many of the tactics that we ac
cuse the Communists of employ
ing? Nonetheless, our duty remains,
as leaders of the free world, to
maintain constant and firm pressure
upon South Africa in whatever
fashion seems feasible, to rescind
her "apartheid" policy. Some indi
cations are that South Africa itself
is beginning to have second
thoughts. At any rate, the turning
point must come soon, or South
Africa may experience a blood
bath that will make the Mau Mau
uprising in East Africa in the 1950s
seem pale by comparison.
