Then, of course, a handful of people appear at the Old Chapel at 6:30 on Sun- day night and, among these, only two or three new students. Why this lack of interest in Vespers? Perhaps you do not know about the interesting programs tliat are planned for you alone. Certainly that half hour after supper is not even spent in much bulling, so let’s have a change of heart and some good old Salem spirit and come to Vespers! —M. P. PLACE: SALEM COLLEGE TIME; SUNDAY. Sunday is the one day in the week in which our time is entirely our own, and it seenis a srhame that there are not more ways provided to make profitable use of this leisure. As we see it, unless you are lucky enough to have a date who will take you riding, there are only the following ways to spend your afternoons: 1. Studying. Aft'er devoting six other days in the week to shakespeare and French grammer, you do not relish the thought of spending the seventh the same way; 2. Walking. We do not know how you feel, but we know every stone and blade of grass on the way to the Moravian Cemetery, and have become quite familiar with tombstone epitaphs. There may be times when you would welcome a long afternoon to catch up on letter writing o rreference reading, but there are many more when you become so bored with the peace and quiet, and so tired of looking at the same walls, the same trees, that you are ready to pack a suit case and leave for home. There are probably good reasons for putting restrictions on Sunday golf and tennis, but we should think some form of exercise would make a more preferable way to spend a lovely, Sunday afternoon, than sitting in the library. We might be more partial to walking if the territory we were allowed to cover extended beyond too well known campus limits. Picnics and hikes would be a welcome relief (the expeditions to Blow ing Rock last year on Sunday was a great success). Sunday is supposed to be a day oi rest and relaxation. A lawyer would never consider a Sunday spent reading his law books, relaxa tion, and certainly this Siame reasoning sljould be applied to college student’s activities. —V.

Ce sont eux qui ont donne au gouvemenment democratique une de ses premieres chances dans la Grande Revolution de 1789. De cette date, jusqu’a 1940, les Fran- cais ont retenu cette democratie— II est facile de voir que puisque la France a charge ses assemblees beaucoup de fois, elle a eu les ex pedients perpetuels dans les per- sonnes qui sont ses presidents. Si le peuple n’avait pas eu d’opinion un politique, il n’aurait pas pu ren- voyer les anciens presidents il en choisir de nouveux presque chaque semaine. Ceux qui savent eombien les Francais aiment la democratic souffrent maintenant avec la France pendant qu’elle souffre sous I’oppression d’un dictateur. —A. L. E.

Careless enchanter. Forgetting yesterday, Rain seeps gently into the soil. Gone are bright patterns And vanished the magic. Broken the quiet of autumn’s spell. Oh, endless change. Are all things touched by thee. Overshadowed by thy spirit? The rain falls, softly. On the leaves Through time and all eternity. -(R. T.) GIRLS- AS SEEN BY A SALEM GO-ED Would you like to know what one of the three boys of Salem College thinks of the three hundred girls of Salem College ? Of course the most outstanding thing at Salem is its girls. I suppose that is the rea son why I cannot help but notice them. Many people have asked me whether or not I find it difficult to study with so many lovely girls around. In a way it is. In another way it is not because I never did caro for girls in large numbers. I find it easier to give attention to one at a time. Oh, I admit that it feels queer, at first, when I go into a room which is full of the opposite sex. Some of them will look up, speak, and then go on about their busi ness. A few more will stare and then give forth some of the silliest grins that I ever hope to see. The rest will just stare. The thing which makes me mad der than anything else is the door situation. I never did mind holding the door open for one or two young ladies. I do not even mind holding the door open for three or four. But, it seems that every time, I hold the door open for one girl at Salem College, there arei at least twenty girls instead of the one. There is one very interesting thing about the girls at Salem. You can divide them into about two dozen different types. I do not mean types of girls such a« blonds, brunettes, and red-heads. The clas sification I mean has more to do with habits rather than color of hair; for example, the type that bite their finger nails and the type that saw the nails off with a file. The glamour-girl type is just about the most amazing type that can be found. The first part of a class period is usually spent in sur- veying those freshly, over-painted, too deep-a-red things that might be called finger nails. The next half of the period is spent in pushing that beautiful, black hair up and twisting it around the finger (Most of the glamour girl type are bru nettes). Oh, yes, they are always conscious of their exotic beauty, and of course they must always be ready to exhibit it. In contrast we might glancei at that type which looks as though she had just gotten out of bed. This type usually flops around in her seat with a shirt on which might remind one of Joseph’s coat of many colors. It may be the style, but this business of not sticking the shirt tail in creates just about the sloppiest effect I have ever seen. The most nerve-racking species is the “pig” typo. I call them the “pig” type because they do more squealing than anything else. Those penetrating squeals just about make one’s hair fall out rather than« stand on end. I like to see people have a good time, but the changing of classes at Salem College some- tim^s reminds me of the Chicago stock yards. Oh, I eould go on with the dif ferent types for several more pages, but what is the use? Here you will find at least some of the things one of the three boys at Salem College thinks about the three hundred girls. To Maud Battle, ’39, we ex- ' tend our love and sympathy. Maud’s mother, Mrs. Hugh H. Battle, died at her home in Rocky Mount last Saturday- night. SAYS AM-LET To pass or not to pass That is the problem. Whether it is better in this school to go through With the tests and books of ambitious teachers Or take up arms against a flood of work And, by playing around, ignore it! * * * To sleep! Perchance to dream! Aye, there’s the rub—For In that sleep of idolence what jolts may come When we have shuffled off the semester’s toil . . . (Editor’s note — with excuse me and things to Mr. Shakespeare). THANK YOU A vote of thanks to the Stee- Gees from the Student Body is in order after Monday’s Game Frolic. The get-together was successful, enjoyable, and calls for more like it.
