Comes The Revolution
by Laurel Green
When the announcement was
made that petitions had to be in by
o’clock Monday night, our smoke
house boeame busier than ever.
After all, the petition needs to be
signed by only ten per cent of
the students. Let’s see, what can
we petition for this time? There are
so many privileges we need and
so many regulations we don’t need.
Why don’t we just revise the en
tire constitution this time. After
the hearty consent of all the smoke-'
liouse loyals, I began to write down
suggestions from the group: 1) We,
the undersigned, do hereby petition
that any Halem girl may, after the
first six weeks, be allowed to date
any night of the week she desires.
We feel this is very reasonaVjle be
cause the Freshmen need six weeks
to get adjusted to college life and,
besides, very few girls would be
able to get a date every night.
Vurther discussion of this led to tlie
second petition:
2. We, the undersigned, do here-
Ijy petition that, after the first six
weeks, the boarding atudeuts be al
lowed late lights every night. After
all. if we are allowed to date every
night, we will need some time to
study jind afternoons are all taken
Up witli playing bridge, washing
clothes, going to the show, or sleep
ing. The third petition needed no en
couragement in order to get one
hundred i>er cest of the student
body to sign:
3) We, the undersigned, do here
by petition that no exams will be
required at the end of each semester.
We don’t see how we can be ex
pected to come back from a super
Christmas vacation and forfeit all
the benefits of the rest we got by
staying up all night studying for
exams. We feel we need the vigor
more for the coming semester. Exams
in the spring always interfere with
Spring Frolics at the university,
nnd besides, everyone is too excited
about graduation and .vacation for
extra study. Xaturally, if exams
are eliminated, there will not be as
many failures. Therefore:
4) We, the undersigned, do here
by peti( ion that girls who do not
fail a subject may have unlimited
cuts in that subject. With exams
out of the way she won’t have to
worry about missing something that
the professor will ask on finals.
And she can go to all the dances at
Davidson, State, Carolina and Uuke.
AVith unlimited cuts we . . . oh,
there goes the beH for 2 o’clock
classes and I must go. Besides we
could not get signatures with the
smoke-houses empty. We’ll just turn
these in. After we get these passed,
We will probably survive even though
we didn’t get around to the really
radical changes. And I don’t see how
they can help but pass these. It
certainly is wonderful to bo able to
submit our requests to the legisla
tive board.

I.R.S. To Have Vespers;

BmaiL Voice
Holding a pre-Symposium sym
posium on women’s education, I
gleaned some revealing facts. First,
most of the smokehouse speakers
have no definite views on education.
They think a liberal arts education
is superior to technical or specialized
training, but they don’t think either
should be compulsory. Many say
they are in school because they were
“sent”—not because of any burn
ing desire for learning
If Salemite.s were conducting the
lectures in Main Hall during the
coming week, I’m afraid the speeches
would be appallingly brief. When
asked their “opinions on women’s
education” Salem girls generally
wore nonplussed and inarticulate.
Their particular replies were:
Clapp: From what I see here, I
don’t think girls are taking advan
tage of the education offered them.
I think everybody should have a
liberal .arts education before they
specialize; otherwise, they’ll be lop
sided.
Hayes: I believe education is im
portant to develop women emotion
ally, intellectually, physically, and
socially. I wish they’d give it to
everybody else and just let mj
sleep.
Leeper: It’s a mighty big field.
Having none, I can’t say much. But
I think it should be broader—train
ing beyond a major and a minor.
Boney: I Uke the St. John’s Col
lege plan. When students graduate
from there, they know more about
what they want to know about.
Evans: Liberal education is a good
thing for those who need, use, and
appreciate it; but in earning a liv
ing and making a home, 70 isn’t
passing.
Thome: Education doesn’t mean
a thing to me. I came to college be
cause my mother and fiither sent me.
But I’m glad they did.
Maybe Mr. Brown wasn’t exagger
ating when he said the American
brain is the most unused muscle in
the United States. At any rate the
opportunity provided for using it
next week should reveal something!

ton, Kuth Hayes, Eaton Seville,

Five members of the “Y” Cab

Last Sunday afternoon in the Day
Student Center from .'^:30 to 5
o’clock, the Y. W. C. A. had a

dents, faculty, town ministers, and

This past Wednesday night, the

meeting at the Y. W. C. A. to spur
on theW . S. S. F. drive and to
discuss other business matters. Two
new members of the’ Cabinet were
also introduced at this time—Mary
Hunter Hackney, representing the
Methodist girls on campu.s, and
Mary Frances King,representing the

the cabinet attended.
Several qf the Y-Grcmlins have

about the Y-events for this semester
and the faculty letters were in re
gard to the W. S. S. F. drive.
