Coed Expresses
His Opinion
By Forrest Bobo
Ah yes—life in a girl’s school—
what a life that would be. How
many Men have thought that—and
from a masculine point of view, can
you think of a better outlook? Nay!
I’ll have to admit, it’s not a bad
life, in fact—I’m enjoying it.
But—life is not all a bed of roses.
With so many women around him,
how can a fellow really apply him-
pelf—to studies, what else? And he
has to put up with things like'the
roll call—Miss-Mlss-uh, Mr. Oh well
—that’s not so bad, but the first
time someone tells me before a date
—“Remember, I. E. S.”—gives
murder!
Now of course men spending their
Sunday afternoons on Salem cam
pus has been done before—for many
years—but not in the library! Be
lieve it or not it’s being done—men
diligently at work on research—for
their homework of course. Who
would do anything else in the
library?
And comes the question of cab
bage, rabbit food, folding stuff—
money. Uncle (Sam—that is) isn’t
too prompt with that ole’ vital
necessity. But still you can’t have
everything. Three things that the
men on Salem campus like (besides
women—lovely creatures—some of
them that is) are ties with dots,
suits with stripes, and letters with
checks. After all—it takes money
when the odds are two-to-one. But
where else can you get odds like
that? But that subject wouldn’t in
terest women—much!
But seriously—we really appreci
ate the opportunity being offered to
us at Salem (where else would a
fellow be exposed to the opportun
ity of meeting so many pretty
girls) and we are grateful for the
chance to begin or further our edu
cation. I don’t think any of us will
look back with remorse at the end of
the year.
In closing this masterpiece (o. k.—
I didn’t say what it mastered), I
would like to make a complaint.
How many of the boys do you know
by name, girls? Not many I’ll bet;
and it works the same for us. Unless
we have a class with you, we don’t
get to meet you. How’s about a dance
or get-together of some kind? Be
ing in the minority we’ll have to
leave that up to you—so think it
over.

By Catherine Gregory
Ah was bohn in a small town
in South Carolinah and spent mah
youth in a secluded atmosphere of
magnolias and southern drawl. I
can remember the time when I
thought that North Carolina was
Yankee territory. Granted that I
was none too bright a child, yet the
ideas that I grew up with were
really appalling. The North was full
of those dread beings, the Yankees,
while the people of the West and
Deep South were equally strange.
And yet, here I am, eating with
them, talking to them, and even
liking them!
All of which goes to prove that
there are people from practically
everywhere at Salem. There are
people from practically everywhere
at Salem. There are people from
22 states on this small campus! Far,
strange, exotic places like Texas,
Rhode Island and Miami, Florida
have sent their “daughters” here.
To me it is simply wonderful, and
it destroys a lot of my concepts
about places and things.
For example, Joanne McCollum
doesn’t wear spurs 'or carry a bull-
whip, even though she’s from Texas.
Doris Brown says that Wyoming is
not a trackless waste, as pictured
in adventure stories. Think of Phila
delphia ... a quaint place where
they wear wigs, knee britches, and
the Liberty Bell rings out (as pic
tured in the life insurance ads).
Constance Neamond would laugh at
this. Bnltimore consists of lots of
people scrubbing doorsteps, or so I
was told, yet Barbara Bacon pro
bably hasn’t a scrub pail to her
name.
Katherine Miller and Helen
Reynolds are from Tennessee and
West Virginia respectively. Strange
ly enough, neither of them are the
Snuffy Smith type, and they even
wear shoes. You can scream
“Eev’noo offisuh acomin” and they
don’t even tremble. Betty Pierce
might chew an occassional furtive
blade of blue grass, but otherwise
you’d never even know that she’s
from Kentucky.
Virginia Lee Sargeant and Sally
Tarry hail from Virginia, suh, but
you would never know it until they
.said “out”. That’s a dead give away.
Speech betrays Elaine Singer and
Gloria Paul, but they have none of
the other characteristics I used to
ascribe to New Jersey people.
Chicagoan Jane McElroy neither
smokes cigars nor carries a sub
machine gun, as Hollywood would
have you believe all natives do.
On the other sid'e of the picture,
Jean Starr is not tight-lipped nor
does she carry a rolled up umbrella,
as I had always thought Connecti
cut people did.
Then, of couse, there’s Frances
Horne. 1 nearly croaked when I
found she was from South America.
And, to top it off, Venezuela! Fled
are the visions of Carmen Miranda
and snake charmers. My tight little
world is thoroughly blasted now.
Vardell
(Cont. from page one)
men sailed down to the Chesapp.ike
Bay. After persuading the British
officers to let Beanes go, the thrue
men started to return home, bu^
were held on the ship, until after
the Baltimore attack by the Brltis’i
fleet. During the unsuccessful attack,
Key, Skinner, and Beanes, were al
lowed to go on deck and watch the
fighting. While watching, Key began
putting down words describing his
feelings as he watched the United
States flag flying over Fort Mc
Henry.
The next day, the three men were
released, and Key gave the envelope,
on which the words to what is now
the national anthem were written, to
his brother. Captain Key had them
printed and handed them out to the
people in the city of Baltimore. On
Sept. 21, 1814, these words were
printed in the Baltimore American,
and below this was printed the tune
“Anacrlon In Heaven.” This tune
fitted in so well with the words Key
wrote, that people began singing
them together.
The Star Spangled Banner was
chosen our national anthem in 1931
during the “reign” of Herbert
Hoover. /
In concluding, I>ean Vardell play
ed Anacrlon In Heaven and announc
ed The Star Spangled Banner as the
closing hymn.

Poll of Opinion
An important question of the day,
“Will the United Nations Organiza
tion fail or succeed in its purpose?”,
has been asked numerous Salemites.
Here are their opinions:
“Tootsie” Gillespie—It has shown
little sign of success so far and
unless there is more cooperation
and less selfishness among the
larger nations, it will come to a
deadlock, and the whole purpose
of the organization will fail.
Love Ryder—^It looks to me as if
everything, including the U. N. O.
will fail. Why can’t anyone get
together?
Louise Stacy—I do not think the
U. N. O. will fail, because people
will have to get together—this is
our last hope. I believe that there
will always be enough men in the
world to keep the nations united in
happiness.

'Continued from page one'
that it would take the Russians
seven years to produce an atomic
bomb. “Power alone is not enough.
It takes knowledge and courage.”
Byrnes has both knowledge and
courage. In his recent spcech ho
said, ‘‘Xo nation, meaning Russia,
wants war, but the nation seeks
political advantage that brings on
war.”
Duranty, in his British accent,
asked, “What do you mean by
‘One World’? It must mean a world
of cooperation.”
He said that there are two bad
things about the negative side of
the picture. There will always have
too be eternal vigilance (strength
and sword) for the two major powers
in the world. Also, their ideas are
based on old and outworn ideas and
assumptions.
“Of course we’re prejudiced,”
Duranty debated. “But it’s a little
late to dig up old things now. Why
judge the Russians by actions and
speeches of 1918?”
Russian men stayed from 1905-06
until 1918 fighting underground.
They learned to mistrust everyone
■families and friends. They had an
intense suspicion which could not
be eradicated. The situation has
changed in 25 years as France chang
ed from Robespierre to Napoleon.
We refuse to change our minds and
forget about the period that no
longer exists in Russia. The moral
abuses, church corruption, and poor
working conditions have all been
corrected. They have stopped spread
ing Communism everywhere, and the
whole system is state capitalism.
“It is deplorable to look for war
always,” Mr. Duranty said. Russia,
despite changes, is still charged with
trying to make all the world ‘ ‘ Bed.”
We accuse her of imperialism un
justly. This is an assumption.
Imagine how we would feel if the
U. S. had been invaded and fought
in for three years. Factories, trees,
homes—everything—burned to the
ground is not a pleasant thought.
The Ifussian feel that it shall not
happpen again. They know that
there is such a thing as retaliation.
“Yes, I approve of Mr. Byrnes.
He’s firm.” He is taking the middle
road and not acting quickly. He
realizes that Russia knows that to
attack the U. S. would be foolish.
“Give them understanding. Be
patient. Give them time,” Duranty
said. “They have never had freedom.
They are ignorant and cannot build
a new democratic government like
ours. Try and open the barriers. Ex
change data on art, music, and
science to establish a closer relation
ship.”
“Who will gain by it if we don’t
try to understand them—Russia or
the United States? We are only play
ing the enemy’s game if we are too
harsh and intolerant.”
In conclusion, Mr. Knickerbocker
stated, “We’ll keep the peace if we’ll
keep Stalin cautious. Vigilance is
all right, but I still say that there
is an alternative, perhaps,” con
cluded Mr. Duranty.
