Chicago • Boston • Los Angeles • San Francisco AN OLD TUNE “I thought you had practice this period.” “I did, but the organ’s broken again.” So runs the conversation between the organ students and their friends much too often. Those who hear the organ only for a few minutes at chapel four times a week do not realize or know what happens between times. There is always something wrong — a note or pedal will not sound at all, or sounds several seconds after the key has been struck, or some stop is dreadfully out of tune throwing the sound of the playing completely off, or some bearings ar*e burned out. There is a never ending list of the old troubles and always new ones coming in. Until the organ just refuses to work at all, those who play it have to get along as best they can with what is left. When the piano students register for piano they are charged for instruction with unlimited use of the pianos. Not so with the organ students. They pay one price for instruction and an additional one for practice. We are never refunded or credited with the money for the hours when we cannot practice. That is just our hard luck. The organ we have is beyond repair. Each time it is fixed it is just enough to hold it together till the next time. The repair man gays that it would cost as much to really fix the organ we have as to get a new one. Just think how much the organ students could accomplish and how much the school would enjoy musical occasions of all kinds — perhaps it w'ould even spur some to chapel — if we had a good organ. We have a new gym and a new library, why can’t we begin working toward a new organ? Certainly it is in use as much as either of these two buildings. (Ask those who try to get the hall for proof of that sentence). If any of us know the relatives of the person to whom the organ was dedicated over thirty years ago, we could use our influence in getting them to renew and keep alive that memorial by helping us toward a new organ. The pianos are replaced when they become worn out; why not the organ t —G. B. WOODEN NICKELS The man with the corduroy pants and the crooked grin stooped behind the nickelodeon, unlocked something, and pulled out a drawer-like compartment. In it were some three dollars ‘Y’ Tuesday afternoon Alice Horsefleld and some of the girls from the Col lege went down to the Salem Home to give a Valentine party for the ladies there. Evelyn McCarty, Lee Eice, and Katherine Ledbetter gave a short music program, after which the group sang hymns. Coffee and eakes were served on Valentine plates. Carolyn Cherry, Emily Mc Coy, Emily Honey, Anne Cooke, Margaret Patterson, Chubby Hayes and Sarah Stevens also went down. Vespers this Sunday night will be in charge of the “Y. ” Advisory Board, with Mrs. Rondthaler as chairman. This faculty program, to which we have been looking for ward, will be held in the campus Living Room at 6:30. Next week is Prayer Week, and beginning Monday, a short devotion al program will be conducted every night during the week in the “Y.” Room. The service begins at 10 SCHERZO IN “BE SHARP” 38. 39. 40. 41. (Continuad From Page One) What is the name for a light stage play with spoken dialogue played in a theater or opera and sparkling songs?

He smiled wryly, commented briefly, “No more than usual,” and dumped the contents of the drawer out on one of the tables nearby, where he proceeded to separate the sheep from the goats. This little scene occurred no longer ago than last Tues day, and no farther away than Welfare’s Drug Store. It has no particular application to Salem College, because the chances are that it was not a Salem College girl who paid wooden nickels for her music. The only reason we mention it at all is because we are quite certain that if — mind you, we say if ■— a Salem girl did put wooden nickels in the vie, she did not do so with the feeling that she was being dishonest. She probably giggled a lot and thought herself pretty dashing and clever. And that, my dears, is the meat in this nutshell. Even the “nicest” people seem to feel that machines and movie houses were made to be cheated. And the same people who would die horrible deaths rather than deliberately short change anyone, and who would never think of picking the pocket of the man with the corduroy trousers and nice smile, will put slugs in his machine, and a little later, perhaps, swear to the girl at the box office window that they have never yet seen sixteen. They would hate to sit at the dinner table beside anyone who would steal money, but they go on blithely copying their room mate’s old history outlines and getting book reports out of their favorite commentator. “Everybody does it,” and “There are plenty worse than I am,” are the favorite salves for sore consciences. People actually do justify themselves to themeslves, until they feel perfectly all right about it. They simply refuse to take the thing seriously. Petty dishonesty can be laughed at, and we agree that a lampshade off a roadhouse table lamp does look funny and rather smart on your study lamp at home — but personal in tegrity is a pretty nice thing to have, too, and worth more than a few old lamp shades, or pieces of plated silver, or beer mugs, or whatever sort of souvenirs you go in for. It’s worth more than hearing “Bei Mir Bist Du Schean” three times running, or seeing Greta Garbo in “Conquest,” or even getting “A” in his tory. We may laugh at the girl who pays back exactly the thir teen cents she borrowed, or who sits up all night reading a book she could get away with not reading, but we sort of admire her, too. Personal integrity, or personal honesty, is easy to lose, especially during college years. Be careful, believe us, it’s worth keeping. Don’t pass any Avooden nickels! —A. F. ARE YOU ALWAYS RIGHT? There are times and times when you positively know that you are right and that everyone else is wrong. It does irritate you, doesn’t it, when the others listen calmly to your argument and then proceed blithely on their way, without adopting your correct viewpoint ? Do you wonder why this hap pens? It couldn’t be because you are always right, could it? It couldn’t be because you always have your opinion and noth ing anyone else could say would change it one iota, could it? Sometimes people weary of being told because sometimes they’d like to tell you a thing or two. Most of the time it would be profitable for you to call a halt, to think your prob lem through again in the light of new evidence and, if neces sary, change your old opinion. Don’t the girls who are “al ways right” defeat their own purpose when they don’t try to weigh all the arguments — their own and the opposing ones? Only tre questions are given here, because the answers are up to you. SILENCE IS GOLDEN The old saying about the brilliancy of silence holds true in the new li brary just as much as it did in the old. Of course, fljoors no longer squeak, doors bang, or chairs scrape; but since these sounds are no longer heard, voices — anywhere in the building — are all the more distract ing. The library is not just the reading room; it is the front door, the vesti bule, the stock the Browsing Room, the seminar Rooms, and even the hall by the water fountain and ink filler. Talking in any of these places may interrupt concentrated study. I don’t mean that you are supposed to bring along adhesive tape to stick over your mouth as you enter the door, or that you should borrow a rubber band at the desk to put around your mouth. If you are in a seminar room studying with some one else it is all right to talk, but remember that your companion is in the same room with you and that noises carry extremely well in the new building. Also, more than likely, there is someone next door trying very hard to concentrate so be con siderate. Don’t finish an “open air” conversation and open the front door at the same time. Everyone should be seen and no one heard in the new library. —H. T. HOW GOOD A ROOM MATE ARE YOU? 5. 6. 7. Answer each question “yes” or “no” then turn to the last page to cheek on yourself. 1. Do you object to having her clothes on your bed? 3. Do you let her borrow your her bed made up? 3. Dou you let her borrow your make-up, jewelry, etc.? 4. Dou you mind her borrowing your clothes? Do you consult your roommate about all of your problems? Do you leave the radio on or entertain your friends when she is trying to study? Are you happy with your room mate, and not have to be with other people too? Do you deliberately turn a cold shoulder after getting in bed at night when she is in a talka tive mood? Do you talk before breakfast? Do you always let her tell stor ies without interfering? Do you snore, talk, or walk in your sleep? Do you get her breakfast for her when she is late? Do you leave the top off the toothpaste, cold cream, etc.? Do you eat all of her candy or give it away to your friends? When you know that your room mate is an orderly person, do you deliberately leave your things around in hopes that she will put them away? Do you clean up the dresser when you get through combing your hair, etc., instead of leav ing your things scattered over it? Are you quiet when you get up earlier than she wants to in the morning? Do you throw clothes under the bed and in the closet when you feel an inspection coming on? Do you soak your clothes in the basin when she wants to wash her face? When she is in a hurry to go somewhere do you let her have free use of the dresser, mirror, basin, etc., instead of standing in front of the mirror combing your hair? Do you object to gold flsh, flow- er pots and other things around the room that your roommate has a particular passion for? Do you make her set youf hair when she is in a hurry or study ing? Would you let her date your best boy friend if he came to see you and you were sick, or couldn’t see him? Do you use all of her best sta tionery ? Do you roll up your hair first and use all of the bobbie-pins? 9. 10. n. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21 22. 23. 24. 25.
