DOROTHY HUTAFF GIVES
REPORT IN Y.P.M.
Tells of Student Govern
ment Conference
In expanded chapel, Wednesday,
Dorothy Hutaff, incoming president
of the Salem Student Government,
gave a very interesting report of the
Southern Inter-Collegiate Associa
tion of Student Self-Government
which she attended from March 25th
to the 27 at Converse College in
Spartanburg, S. O. The conference
was greeted by Lida Lorenz, presi
dent of the Student Government of
Converse. Dr. Edward Gwathmey,
president of Converse, then gave
the opening address entitled “Are
Students Citizens?” in which “he
pointed out the evolution of the stu
dents in the affairs of the college
from the early impression that stu
dents were merely bad children, to
the present day idea that students
are more responsible than ever be
fore.” Dr. Gwathmey also pointed
out, in his talk, the necessity of co
operation between students and fac
ulty.
After Dr. Gwathmey’s address,
Mary Jane Ligert of Agnes Scott
College l04 a discussion on the
“Scope of Student Government.”
The theme of the discussion was, the
student government as a liberating
force for the student.
In the meeting Friday morning
Harriet Hunter of Randolph Macon
led a discussion group in “The Tech
nique of Presidency ’ ’ which brought
out the purposes and principles of
student governments on college cam
puses.
After this discussion Dr. Theadore
Jack, President of Randolph Macon
Woman’s College, presented “What
The College Expects of The Student
Government. ’ ’ At the conclusion of
her speech, “for the preservation
and progression of Student govern
ment she urged students to resist the
style to be cynical and have the cour
age to idealistic.”
Miss Nancy Nalle, of Sweet Briar
College led a discussion on Freshman
Orientation.
Miss Hutaff said that one of the
most valuable meetings was the Open
Forum, conducted by Mary Jeanna
McKay, of Florida State College for
Women, ''in this Open Forum, ques
tions sent in by the student govern-
ent representatives of various col
leges were taken up. They repre
sented the actual problems of specific
colleges which are prevalent at moat
schools and many helpful suggestions
were offered as solutions to these
problems.
On Saturday morning, Dean Vir
ginia Thomas of Greenville Woman’s
College spoke on “Prom Macrocosm
to Microcosm.”
Miss Hutaff said that they were
entertained by a South Carolina
Square Dance, a tour of Spartanburg
and a colorful banquet. She said
she found this conference both in
teresting and helpful and in conclu
sion Miss Hutaff said that with those
suggestions and the co-operation of
Salem students the student govern
ment would not be a Policeman but
a liberating force for the students.

With Little Theatre in
Senior Division of
Contest
What would you do if a ghost
(even a beautiful one like Lou
Preas) haunted you for years and
years and years! Well, Philip
Amory (Bob Hedgecock) wasn’t
driven to drink, but to marrying
Edith (Lizzie Trotman), a “widder
woman, ’ ’ and hard as the nails going
into the foundation of the new li
brary. Unfortunately, he couldn’t
stand up under the strain, and next
Thursday night at 8 o’clock at Rey
nolds Auditorium you will have the
opportunity (for 35c) of being “in
at the death” of the aforesaid
Philip Amory, when you see “The
Purple Rim,” by Elizabeth Stajiey
Payne, to be given by the Pierette
Players of Salem College.
This will be one of the four one-
act plays which will be presented on
the third and last night of the 1937
One-Act Play Tournament, sponsored
by the Winston-Salem Department
of Recreation. The Little Theatre
group will give “The Monkey’s
Paw,” and the two winning plays
chosen from Tuesday’s and Wed
nesday’s presentations will be given
again.
“The Purple Rim” combines ten
derness with comedy, pathos with
beauty. See Ellen Moore as Lucy,
the heart-broken niece of Philip.
She will be comforted competently
by Clyde Barber. Anna Wray Fogle
will hover in the background as the
nurse.
