A WORD TO
THE FRESHMEN
Have you heard the tale about the proctor? It seems
that once upon a time, two very home-sick little freshmen
were weeping in bed one night. In order not to attract the
attention of the proctor, they muffled their sobs ’til they were
merely miserable whimpers. Meanwhile, a proctor was sneak
ing about and, hearing the noise, sh» gave them a call-down.
This makes the proctor out to be a low-down, snooping
so-and-so, who delights in her task. Nothing could be farther
from the truth! Yet, the idea'still prevails. More than one
gentle-hearted proctor must cringe at the strong stares she
meets on entering a room.
Freshmen, please remember that your proctors are just
doing their duty (not a very pleasant one), and a little co
operation from you would help a lot!

SALEM LETS DOWN HER
POLITICAL HAIR
Of all the talking done, very few
of us actually know what we mean
when wo vaguely rant on about
conscription. My this week’s as
signment, however, turned out to
be no less than conscription, so I
pulled my indigestion racked body
around the campus, asked imperti
nent questions, pried into people’s
pasts, secured statements under
false pretenses, involved myself in
several liable suits, and found out
that some of the people have real
ideas on this issue of the day —
conscription. To the very general
question — “What do you think of
conscription f” — I got several ex
cellent answers.
DR. ANSCOMBE, quoting from a
certain obscure Mr. Shakespeare:
"War is a game which, if men
were wise, kings could not play
at.”
ME. HOLDER, between familiar
digressions: “Conscription in no
way violates democracy. The idea
of a nation at arms was first de
veloped in the French Revolution
and was identified from the first
with political liberty. The share of
an individual in the government of
the state is a privilege matched by
the obligation of the individual to
defend the state.”
DR. DOWNS, unhesitantly: “Any
person who enjoys the privileges of
freedom should be prepared and
willing to defend those privi
leges.”
MRS. DOWNS, en route to class:
“I’m entirely sympathetic!”
GERRY BANES, determining
whether I said description or not:
“I approve.”
T E E NI E McGEHEE, exhaling
hurriedly: “Lord, it scares me!”
REECE THOMAS, off guard: “I
think it’s terrible.” Then, after
considering the question and scrut
inizing her questioner: “I can see
both the good and bad of it.”
MARY BEST: “The boys may
as well go now and get it all over
with — the training will do them
good.”
CEIL NUCHOLS: “Conscription
would be ideal if only the govern
ment could manage to conscript the
Smolk House piano while they’re
at it!”
FLOSS HARRIS — well, space
is limited; her views, however are-
n’t hard to get — and besides
she’s going to adopt a platform
somewhere; so you’ll hear them
soon enough anyhow.
If, after this, anyone has any
ideas about conscription, may he
keep them to himself!
Said the backseat jitterbug: “I
want to jive!”
—Alabama.

LITTLE COLLEGES
Time has a way of wreathing vines around them.
And pushing them far back in groves of oak.
And trailing them with ivy — loving fingers.
Year after year the autumn finds them waiting,
Hjushed in the leaves that hide old musty halls,
Y|ear after year the spring spills horns of laughter,
While far away a dreamer’s echo calls.
And none would know their lack of fluted columns
Or marble lintels carved with names that give —
So tenderly they touch earth’s opening petals,
'So suietly they teach men how to live.
—^Leigh, Hanes, in The Record,
(Ilampden-Sydney Alumni Association).

SPARE TIME?
(Continued from Page 1)
veloped because of our economic
our wisdom and character are
shown by how we utilize our leis
ure. After a typical week-end, the
people of today are worse off phy
sically, morally, and economically
than they were before i the week
end. Aimless riding in automobiles,
going to movies and sitting at
bridge tables can be thieves for
stealing the time of people. The
constructive use of leisure is a fine
art and a high virtue.
In America there is a “philoso
phy of work” and God seems to
dwell among those who work. But
a person who lives only to work is
destined to have a morbid life end
ing in tragedy and pathos. There
should be a philosophy of leisure.
In closing Dr. Cunningham urg
ed us to build constructively in
life. He urged us to dedicate our
selves to leisure, to true friend
ships, to books, to music, to moral
and spiritual life and above all to
the glory of God.
