What a time for a shock—early
in the morning!! We aren’t yet
used to seeing Lois coming back
from breakfast . . . what 8:30s won’t
do for you! After recui)erating,
we can look around and see what
makes the smokehouse buzz. Salem’s
few surviving P. T.’s have lots to
tell . . . Teau had a big time at
Carolina last week-end. What would
the smokehouse be without Eva
Martin’s singing? But there’s one
thing missing—and that’s Liz Young
• . . hurry and get well, Liz! By
the way, Clewell smokehouse had
its roof raised at the community
sing the Junior class had last Sat
urday night ... it sure helped us
^a^eless dames!
But there’re a few lucky ones
left. In spite of the Senior dinner
Saturdav niglit. Gudg'er dated a
^^aval Lt. . . . and Senora had a
good surprise! Another surprise is
Sophia Bowen’s secret . . . she is
really beaming . . .
Over in Strong, Ridenhour struts
around wearing an orchid that Para
trooper Pat brought to her last
Week-end . . . Avis Weaver is really
celebrating about a certain Lt.-to-be.
^fere’s a word of advice to any pre
occupied and unsuspecting person
. about to make a telephone call to
Strong Dormitory ... Sit down and
compose yourself, for you might get
the shock Miss Bonney did—if Vir-
Sinia Smith answers the phone!
Speaking of phonos, they’ve been
kept pretty busy lately. Above the
smokehouse chatter, a call rings out
• . . “Acky Kincaid—Texas call-
iTig!” it’g Jayne and
Hoppv seem to be keeping Bell
T'elppiione Co. in business these
davs!
We’ll be seeing our last of Eve
lyn Page soon—for she’s moving to
Olinvleston to join the Marine Cap
tain papa. Hope she likes Charles
ton !
Ovpr in Senior, there’s still talk
Sandra Shelton Roach, daughter
of the former Sis Shelton (ex-’4.‘i').
Sandv has reached the grand and
fflorions age of three weeks! Then,
there’s Emily Harris, who was
walking around campus wtih a Ma-
’■ine Captain last week-end. And
Marie’s Russ came down.
The eirls of Clewell, among them
Eflie Kuth, welcomed J. D. back.
The Clewell girls also sent Polly off
to another Salisbury week-end. And
have voti noHced that Betty Harris
is still looking dreamy?
Lil Campbell also went to see a
Med student—in Richmond. Some
still support Bowman Gray—Lib
I*rice, for one. And Ann Hairston
■~how could we forget her?
Irene Dixon had a big week-end,
with Beau here . . . And here’s the
scoop of the week—the Memphis
Selle brought Lon Stack a great big
handsome Captain! “Xow she’s just
wild about Harry” . . .
There’re big plans in store for this
Week-end, for Simmons and Folger
sre oflT to a wedding—can’t wait to
hear about it! And you will, if you
sit in the smokehouse long enough
—for ’most evei'vthing that happens
ffets through the smokehouse!
Hat’s The
New Student Qovernment Leaders
Limit
But nothing compares with what
happened to Miss Burrell at the
Szigeti concert last night. When
Mrs. Jordan rose to leave, she fran
tically began a search for her hat.
Sheepishly, Miss Burrell stood up,
produced the lost article from the
seat which she had been occupying,
and handed to Mrs. Jordan one
squshed felt hat that had had a
rather high crown. To top it all,
Mrs. Jordan put the hat on and
left the concert.
A good time was hat by all.

DORIS LITTLE
Vice President, On Campus
Doris Little from Eobersonville,
N. C., was- the junior elected by the
student body Wednesday, March 7,
as on-campus vice-president for the
year 1945-46.
Doris, better known as D. Little,
has been active in numerous camp
us organizations. She has been a
member of Student Government,
having served on the executive, ju
dicial, and legislative committees
as president of the junior class.
Slie has been a Red Cross supervisor,
a member of the T. R. S., the Lab-
lings, and the business staff of the
Salemite, as well as participating in
the basketball-softball-hockey side
of athletics. D. is a math major and
a chemistry minor.
A revision of the Handbook is
the first job D. is undertaking. Along
with this comes her duty as co-
chairman of the chapel committee.
Besides being enthusiastic about the
“co-chairman” idea, D. hopes to put
across the idea of a careful inter
view by one of the chapel commit
tee with the proposed chapel speak
ers before their appearance in
chapel. Another thing in which she
will be working in close co-opera
tion with the off-campus vice-presi
dent is the improvement of the re
lationship of the day-students and
the boarders.
As for the rest of her “secrets,”
see D. at the beginning of next year,
and if the past is an indicator, it
will be a great next year.
Szigeti
(Cont’d. from page 1)
our amusement, we asked Mr. Szigeti
if he liked Southern audiences. He
exclaimed enthusiastically that he
liked them, in fact he liked the
South. “Why did you know,” he
asked, “that my second encore was
“Buncombe County, N. C., of a sum
mer afternoon?” It was composed
and dedicated to me by Ernest Ba
con, who teaches at Converse Col
lege.” And leading us over to a
table, he showed ua the original
manuscript of the piece.
Having scolded several young
“autograph hounds” for coming
backstage before the concert was
over, Mr. Szigeti asked that we
plead with our readers to remember
that “the concert is more import
ant than those pieces of paper.”
Nevertheless, when we ended our in
terview, “May T have your auto
graph, please?” he gallantly smiled,
took our pen from us again and
wrote, “With best wishes, Joseph
Szigeti, 194i).”

PEGGY WITHERINGTON
President
We found Peg sitting cross-legged
on her bed in the first floor Clewell
room she shares with Meredith
Boaze. Tlie earnestness of her blue
eyes and the little frown of concen
tration emphasized the fact that
she’s already done much' thinking
about her plans as Stee Gee presi
dent for next year.
The ideas flowed so fast and fur
iously that we had a hard time
keeping up, but we were impressed
by the fact that for each idea she
had reasons and that each reason
had been carefully analyzed—she
has applied her mathematical mind
to the affairs of state, if you please.
Peg hopes to organize a stud
ent’s forum—a monthly meeting
open to all students for the purpose
of discussing campus affairs. This
is to enable each girl to have a more
definite part in Stee Gee and other
organizations and to become more
aware of their functions, accomplish
ments, and possibilities. In order
to begin these forums in a profitable
and interesting manner, she plans
to use the first few meetings as
explanation periods for the various
student organizations. This is the
goal but at first there will have to
be experimentation of the best meth
ods to achieve that goal.
Another creation which Peg is
working toward is a council of the
heads of all major organization.
Tliis council would meet weekly, set
up meeting dates which do not con
flict for their various groups, dis
cuss mutual problems, and foster
cooperation.
To secure a definite meeting place
for each organization is another one
of Peg’s aims for 1945-46. We no
ticed that two definite strains run
through all her plans—she is striv
ing for interest and cooperation
among all the srtudents.
As we left Peg, she called after
us, ‘‘Plea.se tell them I’ll always be
thankful for suggestions!”

SARAH HEGE
Vice President, Off Campus
Serving as off-campus vice-presi
dent for the year 1945-46, will be
Sarah Ilege, day-student, elected
March 7 in the vice-presidential
elections.
Sarah was legi.slative representa
tive of her freshman class, vice-
president of her sophomore and
junior classes, president of Le Cer-
cle Francais her sophomore year,
and has been a reporter for the
Salemite for the past "two vears.
Sarah is a language major and a
math minor.
Having been a day student for
the past three years, Sarah is in
good i»osition to see improvements
that will be helpful to the day-
students. “Let’s organize the day-
students,” will be her outstanding
slogan for the year. Sarah is un
precedented as co-chairman of the
chapel committee and is undertaking
her job with expectation and eager
ness for any improvements possi
ble. Getting down to specific ideas,
Sarah would like to see a telephone
in the Day-Student’s Center and
many other physical improvements
—see Hege for the details.
The percentage of the student
bodv voting in this election ran
somewhat lower than hoped for.
The percentages were as follows;
seniors, 840; juniors, 72%; sopho
mores, 65%; freshmen, .52%. The
percentage for the entire student
body was 63%, a figure to be im
proved.

Odd Facts
On Romberg
Orchestra
Many Salemites agreed that the
Sigmund Romberg concert Tuesday
night was one of the most entertain
ing of the year. For those who
went and for those who didn’t,
maybe a few sidelights on the
concert and the performers would
bo interesting:
The 51 male and female artists
started February 25 on a date-a-
day concert tour that will take
them from Massachusetts to Ark
ansas by May 15.
mistake made by a member of
the orchestra is called a “klinker.”
For each klinker committed during
"I performance, everybody — from
the triangle virtuoso to Romberg—
is required to put twenty-five cents
in the “pot.” As soon as a suf
ficient sum is collected, the ensem
ble ‘ ‘ throws a big party.”
Members of the orchestra are
highly-trained musicians (many
have studied abroad) who come from
Mexico, Russia, Texas, and
“around.” Some are former mem
bers of the Radio City Music Hall
Orchestra, the National Symphony,
the Boston Symphony, and the Sousa
band.
The concert began after a week of
concentrated rehearsals, practices
lasting nine hours some days.
Featured on the program were
three glamorous soloists, two red
heads and a brunette; the brunette,
Victoria Schools, a coloratura who
sang for her home town folks last
week in R'ichmond, Va.; and the
red-heads, Lorna Byron and Ann
Andre.
Five Salemites who ventured into
the backstage confusion after the
concert met a gracious little bald-
headed man, stocky and laughing,
wlio told them he loves deep-sea
fishing, owns a Dalmatian, and
thinks Boogie Woogie “very
healthy.” He was Sigmund Rom
berg.
Mr. Molto Crescendo, second vio
linist in the Romberg orchestra
traveling incognito, provided a Sa
lemite reporter with the above facts
during his visit to the campus
Tuesday afternoon via the practice
rooms in Memorial Hall.
