March 14, 1947. THE SALEMITE Page Three. Sophs Satirize Salemites NOEA THE NOKM By Perona Aiken Most people can at times achieve (jomplete privacy. If they desire it they can hang a “Busy” on the door (if a '“Busy” impresses their friends) or sprinkle themselves with Night ill Hong Kong”. But thoso of iis who have been influenee’dj will ingly or not, by the Cult of the Mean have a constant companion, called Nora the Norm. Nora is of average height, average weight, average blue eyes, and aver age blond hair. She does nothing . very poorly and nothing very well In fact, -she is perfect. I have found her trying to re deem me on numerous occasions. On Saturday I relaxed in my room, I lay lazily on my bed, ate zwieback. and"^listened to the opera. Of course, the desk was strewn with books; the floor was cluttered with shoes, and the bed crackled with crumbs. But I was in bliss—until—from under the covers of giy-^roommate’s bed camc Nora the Norm. “Clean up immediately! Disorderly living makes for disintegration of person ality, you know.” I sat in class one day and the teacher asked, “Who started the Napoleonic Wars?” “Napoleon,” I thought immedi ately and raised my hand. I glowed with the inner satisfaction that comes from the pursuit of Know ledge—until—Nora the Norm appear ed in the window sill. Glory vanished. My pride was squelched. “It’s just your need' for recognition and ap proval”, she said. I passed through the smoke house last night and did not stop to . chat. I had a term paper to write. But suddenly out of the smoke Nora evolved. “Bo that term paper later. Come and socialize. Thou Introvert!” And so I am led by the Norm now. It seems a wonder that I could over have thought to attain health, wealth, or wisdom without her shining guidance. FellowshipPlans Cabin Party The Presbyterian ITellowship group is planning a Cabin Party at Camp Betty Hastings on Saturday, March 29.

I finally found a space at a table by the second-floor stacks where I could deposit my armful of books. I arranged my books and note cards in an unruly display which I called order and began to work. I had really been working hard for ten minutes when Eaton tapped me on my shoulder. “Have you done your math?” “No,” I whis-| pered back, “I’m doing it tonight.” Eaton piissed on to the ne.v't table and I buried myself again in my term paper. I did a full half-hour’s research before the three o’clock bell. “Wonder if I got a letter from Ed in the afternoon mail? No, I heard from him yesterday and he has exams this week.” ... I took up Huxley’s Essays again. “Mother said she would send my new formal this week; wonder if it came in,” I thought, not at all interested in the book before me. ‘‘Anyway, the fresh air will do me good,” I said as I walked over to the postoffice. The box was empty! Disappointed, I headed again for the library. But I couldn’t concen trate. I just had to write mother and ask her to send my formal right away. I felt better after writing mother and finished the essay I had be'jn reading. I had just started my second essay when Betty aske^ me to go to Gooch’s for a coke. “Well, I do have to mail mother’s letter . . .” The four o’clock bell rang just as I had become settled in the stacks again. “I’m going to really work these two hours before dinner!” And I began in earnest to take note cards. I had paused to stack my four note,cards when Eaton passed by—“Let’s go to gym, Bitsy.” “Oh, I groaned, “why did today have to be Thursday?” Fulcher Speaks To Lablings At the regular meeting of the Lablings Wednesday night, Mr. n. E. Fulcher, Professor of Physics and xVstronomy at Davidson College, was the guest speaker. Mr. Fulcher’s subject was “Atomic Energy” its impact upon civilization and its im portance in the future of the world. He began with the discovery of radio-active uranium in 1890 and the discovery of radium by the Curies. Mr. Fulcher stated that the atomic bomb discovery is stim ulating more interests in research and in the search of more radio active substances. The duty of the ■scientists today is to convert the radiations of the radio-aetive ele ments into heat in order to utilize atomic energy in a practical m.anner. Mr. Fulcher concluded his lecture with the statement that the greatest problem in the world today is not the atomic bomb and what -to do with it, but the cementing of man kind together in a world of peace and harmony.

There are many, many kinds—the surprise which comes at the end of every semester; the surprise who comes to see you just as you’ve lowered your hair into soapy water; the surprise of a falling bed slat; the surprise of a birthday party you had hoped for all day long; and best of all, the Surprise Package. It’s wonderful. You can plan just when you’re going to open it (8:00 Saturday night) and you can see what it looks like outside (red and white checked). You can shake and rattle it (twenty five cents for admission). You can smell it (aroma of hot dogs, popcorn, and a Salem spocial). BUT you don’t know what’s in it (floorshow at 9:00). You can’t possibly guess. The ones who did up the package (home economics department) know. Here are some hints: It jiggles. It makes a lot of noise. It has magic qualities. Some times it’s tall; sometimes it’s short. It’s always good-looking and may be all sizes and colors. Want to know more? BE AT THE GINGHAM TAVERN SATURDAY NIGHT AT 8:00 TO 11:00. The surprise package will officially be opened at 9:00, but the top wrap ping will start unrolling at 8:00. BRODT-SEPARK MUSIC CO. 620 W. 4th St. Dr. Jordon Fetes French Lit.
