MUSIC HOUR
the training necessary for leading
community sings.
There is to be organized a class
which will study the organization
and performance of community
sings and patriotic gatherings.
For' the piano and organ majors,
they must be able to play the Na
tional Anthem without music. The
orchestration class is going to or
chestrate the “Star-Spangled Ban
ner” for a small orchestra.
Voice students are to be taught
songs of lighter nature to be used
on radio or in the camps. The Salem
Orehesitra and quartet, also, will
learn lighter music and will perform
on programs of various natures.
The public school music majors
must certainly learn how to put on
patriotic programs for the schools.
Dr. Vardell also announced a con
test for an original patriotic song—
words and music. This might be a
war song, patriotic hymn, or even a
funny song. But more will be an
nounced later.
One of the largest projects to be
undertaken now is the beginning of
weekly Sunday night broadcasts by
Salem College and the music depart
ment, beginning February 14. Both
faculty and students will take part
on the programs, and every student
■will participate in some way or
other. This is what the government
Wants music students to do, and the
Salem College School of Music is
trying to fully cooperate with the
war effort in their own particular
line of work.

THE PLACE OF SMALL
C0LLE6ES TODAY
(A. C. P.)
There is one basic requirement
for successful development of the
educational process^ and that is
freedom. The unique service of the
small liberal arts, co-educational,
church-related or independent col
leges is in my judgment the main-
tenapce and preservation of free
dom.
Perhaps, some idea of the ideal
size of the “colleges” or “houses”
into which the great universities
are breaking up their college depart
ments in an attempt to recapture
the virtues of the small college. It
is believed that the very fact that
a college is small makes for free
dom ,and individualism.
The study of the liberal arts in
itself means that emphasis is being
placed on mental training rather
than on the imparting of informa
tion or still less on specialization or
technical training. To learn “how
to think, not what to think,” is the
goal of the study of the liberal arts;
its effect is to rain the mind for any
emergency.
A church-related or independent
college means first of all a college
free from any kind of state con
trol. It is submitted that the main
tenance of his type of college is
absolutely essential to the preserva
tion of “The American Way.”
It is certain that the Christian
college which seeks o produce men
and women who love their country
so much that they are not only ready
to die for it but to live for it,
needs toi rest, and so far as it prop
erly may, to make it easy and nat
ural for its students to rest upon
the “everlasting arms.”—Wm. Cul
len Dennis, president, Earlham col
lege.

PEGGY WITHEBINGTON
Tall, good-looking, sincere, and
fun-loving . . . only a few of the
adjectives which can be used to
describe Peggy Witherington, for
there are too many more to bo list
ed.
Peggy is a conscientious and in
telligent student. When others
don’t quite understand the lesson,
she is willing to patiently explain
it to them. Right now she has de
cided that her greatest opportunities
for the future lie in having math
as her major . . . and Peggy has
the ambition and ability to stick
to this decision.
Her great variety of interests
help to make up Peggy’s interesting
personality. She is a crack bridge
player and is always ready to stop
for a hand. She is athletic, too—
anxiously awaiting the basketball
season, so that she can once again
he on the court,. A talented music
ian, Peggy plays both the organ and
the piano; the one thing that she
misses here is not having the time
to spend on her music.
There is nevera lull in the conver
sation when Peggy is around, and
her friendly disposition causes one
to feel at home with her. Eecent-
ly she has been worrying about
those sixteen pounds which have
been added since her arrival at Sa
lem but all of us agree that they
are most becoming. When David
son happens to be brought into the
conversation, Peggy’s eyes begin to
sparkle, and her interest takes a
fresh awakening.
Peggy’s popularity and the confi
dence her friends have in her is
clearly shown by the fact that she
was elected president of the fresh
man class. Peggy is truly a girl to
be admired and respected, and
there is every indication that her
future will be as successful as the
present has been for her.
NELL JANE GRIFFIN
She’s that freshman day student
with hair as red as . . . well.
Without going further, you know . .
it’s little Nell.
Yep, she’s red-headed . . . freckle
faced . . . green eyed . . . and pug
nosed. And the face thi^t supports
all these attributes is always shin
ing . . . the kid behind the face is
always beaming with an impish
grin.
Nell is well known among the day
student ranks . . . she should be.
At some time or another, that young
lady has probably swapped tales
with the best of them. If she isn’t
telling a whoppin’ good story about
her life as a country gal, she’s dram
atizing her latest mishap in the
physics lab. You see, Nell Jane is
a science major.
But science isn’t her only inter
est . . . not by a long shot! The
piano is well acquainted with her
gentle touch. That’s Nell . . . gen
tle, but oh so tough! She gets
tough down at the gym . . . made
the hockey varsity, that’s what she
did! Nor does she stop with merely
hockey . . • she tries basketball,
badminton, ping-pong, and heaven
only knows what else.
Nell has a way with folks, too . . .
she even cajoled the freshmen into
electing her vice-president. And she
also holds a coveted scat on Stee
Gee.
Yes, Nell is a charming soul . . .
but how does one get to know her?
Just come to the day student center
and look for somebody whizzing out
of the place like superman; and if
that same somebody whizzes back in
again yelling, “I forgot my books!”
. . . you’ll know that you’ve been
whiz to whiz with Nell Jane Griffin.
A MANLESS CHRISTMAS
OH BOY!
A woman without a man, is like
a ship without a sail . . . yeah^ like
potatoes without any salt or like
spaghetti without the meat. This
year, we of the finer and fairer
sex suffered a manless Christmas. I
never knew there were so many
women i nthis world . . . everywhere
I went there was a flock of femmes
so thick that I had to pull a flounce
of hair to get to my destination.
Even though all men are sorta
stuck on themselves^ . . ■ I must ad
mit it was awfully lonesome and
peaceful without them. Yes, this
old lady sat back on the shelf and
watched the little brother and the
little sister have the fling that used
to be hers. Them days is gone for
ever. I saw all of the good movies
. . . bad ones, too . • • all with
nobody to conviently grah when the
crucial moments came! Went to
some dances . . • had fun ... as a
chaperone! Went to a bridge party
. . . no men . . trumped my part
ners’ aces! Did get rid of the cir
cles under my eyes • . plenty of
sleep . . . several pounds gained
. . . plenty of food (unrationed
food). Wrote plenty of letters . . .
■’book matches
still no dates. Guess Cleopatra was
right when she said, “A woman
never knows what a good man a
four ’f’er’ was till she turned him
down.” So listen to me, my dears,
want you to usderstand ... A wo
man never knows the fun she’s had
’til she spends Cliristmas without
a man.
—Peggy Nimocks.

-LOVE FEAST—
religious custom.
At Salem, during the early days
of the Moravian settlement, the
pe(|ple held Lovefifasts either daily
or weekly; but it was no longer a
meal—instead, everyone sipped cof
fee or tea and munched buns or
cakes. (Then, as now, there must
have been a sugar shortage, for
records show that frequently the
people substituted cornbread for
cake.) Whenever new settlers or
^velcomed visitors arrived, the con
gregation celebrated the custom.
Today, however, the Lovefeasts
are not limited to Moravians^ but
non-Moravians may also participate
in this celebrated fellowship serv-
With the coming of ’43 your re
porter is back on the job and so
are the rest of the Salemites—last
minute parallel reading (?), term
papers, book reviews ... oh, it’s
gay. But nothing stops this thing
called love and we find BETTY
BBIETZ supporting that statement
100%.
HAZEL NEWMAN is also flash
ing a diamond, and so is PEGGY
SOMERS.
CEIL NUCHOLS came back won
dering how small towns offer such
a good time while Charlotte was
just another Death Valley—with
the exception of those few days
when Little Doe was home, of
course.
GINOR seems to have made a real
conquest—what with a caller last
week-end and the same caller again
this week-end.
CAROLYN’S new cigarette light
er and case (beautiful as it may
be) really broke the sad news at
homo.
Phil’s coming, Phil isn't coming
—and so “PEG-LEG” just sits and
waits. We sho’ do wish he could
have made it.
Never let it be said that the
lack of gas and tires can stop Da
vidson men—^as they say, they’re
suckers for punishment and they
still trod the beaten path twice a
week.
Will she, or won’t shet That is
the question we all ask and only
time will tell whether KEMP will
marry Roy or not. (It really
wouldn’t take mo a minute to de
cide).
KAKA met her date, suitcase in
hand and corsage on her shoulder.
Perfect for an eloi>ement, huht

and MOT traversing the campus
daily.
The' topic of K. T.’s conversation
and the reason for those shining
eyes will be on Salem campus this
week-end. Yes Punk of the blue
eyes and blue sweaters.
The Ouija board board really has
caused some discussion on the cam
pus, but the worst was when it de
clared that BUTCH’S Dick would
marry NORMIE.
And if V. V. went around with
a long face because sho wouldn’t
marry Jimmy till ’47, then where
was GWILLE’S face when she
found that Ed won’t “pop the ques
tion” till '51.
Poor George, he’s been here three
nights waiting for BET HAN
COCK to get out of the infirmary—
and she hasn’t gotten out yet. Well
George, while tiiere’s life, there’s
hope.
GRETA was flashing a letter from
Jimmy—if that ain’t sisterly love
for you.
FARMER BRANTLEY returned
from the Citadel Xmas and remained
in bed with a bad cold the week fol
lowing. Oh well, she thinks it was
worth it.
First it Gene, then it’s Jake, then
it’s both. SUE, won’t you ever
make up your mind?
At last DORIS has decided not
to come back next semester. Of
course we’ll miss her, but we can’t
blame her.
MAC beamed Wednesday—what
do you know! Bobbey called and
talked for ^twenty minutes. Now I
ask you, is that patriotic?
We certainly did like MARY AL-
DERSON’S Howard. Sorry we have
to use past tense, but that’s the
way it is,
FARMER sho ’ is being secretive
about thafi air corps bracelet. 'Why
don’t you bring him out of the
dark?
NANCY JOHNSTON did consent
to talk to Bill over the phone, but
she refuses to answer his letters—
What indifference.
SUT heard that Shuford was get
ting married—but thank goodness,
it’s just another rumor.
Before we close we want to ex
press our sympathy to JOYCE
WOOTEN and wish her a very
speedy recovery and return. Bye
now.
