Page Eight. THE SALE.MITE May 2, 1947. Men Are Coming Prepare! Beware} Prices Drop; Hemlines, Too “All I know is what I read in the Salemite.” Well, if you read this column, don’t judge the Salemite by it because when you finish you won’t know much. Since the big gest thing in sight is May Day I’ll skip that. It speaks for itself. In stead I’ll hold forth for a little while on the May Day dance. And the biggest thing about that is that men will be there. That’s something I can’t skip, - - - especially since Mary Billings told me that Bob him self Vanstory is coming. I didn’t really get a' chance to get the de tails about that because when I saw her she was fighting madly to get one of Henny’s dances. The ex planation for this sudden attraction for Henny is of course. Bill. He’s coming this time and all the little pretties want just one more try at this man before Henny really clinch es the deal in June. There is more to filling out a dance card than I first thought. Take the trouble I had with Say So for instance. I chased her around the Smokehouse twice, tripped her, sat on her, and broke both her arms before she’d give me a dance with Paul. “I’ve only got fourteen laft with him”, she sobbed pathetically. Salem Girls Attend Meet At a recent convention of the Sou thern Intercollegiate Association of Student Government held at Sophie Newcombe College in Xew Orleans, Lousiiana, April 17 through the 19, Mary Bryant and Nell Penn Watt represented Salem. The theme on which the discus sions were based was “Student Gov ernment and the Post-War Campus”. In different forums the topics of discussion were “Attitudes on the Post-W^ar Campus”, “The Position (of Honor on the Post-War Campus”, I “Education for Post-War World I Participation” and “Parliamentary Law in Student Government”. All phases of student life and problems of both large and' small colleges were considered, with the main emphasis on solutions to the predominant is sues. Of all the problems that were discussed, the whole-hearted coop eration of every member of the stu- But Jo Patterson was so excited I^ody in upholding the honor because Duna’s coming she didn’t know what she was doing and gave out dances right and left. Now she’s trying desperately to make some one let her dance with him. This dance means more to Gray than his new New Bern dairy. Lib might have something to do with that tho. After all coming to a dance at Salem is much more interesting than a business trip. State is sending three of its best boys; Wilson ^nd- Tom and Bob. (who is a representative of the big ■six) You can see Jane and Peggy and Joyce in any secluded corner plotting their ultimate downfall. Lovely way to die, eh boys!? Janie, if Buddy weren’t coming, would probably forget all about the May Day Dance - - - she’s so busy worrying about the May Day. Not about the pageant, that’s bound to Jbe good, but about the weather!. Even Winston-Salem’s own sons will be here. John’s coming with Fran and Steve and Peggy. And Winston-Salem’s Wake For est is ^Iso going to be well repre sented. Especially the Kappa Sigs, just ask Roberta about Pena or Beverly about Paul. And Johnny’s coming too! J. P. system, in both the academic and social part of college life, seemed to be the ultimate and overall solution. The delegates, of the. sixteen col leges represented, offered suggest ions of ways to gain respect and co operation of the student body to this fundamental principle of living. Bryant and Nell Penn have brought back some of these ideas which they hope to put into use next year. However,’ the convention was not all meetings. Thursday night the delegates •were entertained at an in formal reception. A guided tour was Well, gals, spring has at last ar rived with a bang, and we do hope that it is here to stay. (The weath er man is a little confusing at times.) We know that it is spring, because all the little Salemites are dragging out their cotton dresses, and the swimming pool (empty), is the scene of gay laughter from the bevy of sunbathers, all eager for a tan to show off those new May Day formals. Even the May Court beauties are sporting peeling' noses. One can almost smell the salt air, as the interest in the beaches burns in each and everyone (that is, ev erybody but Meatball and Va.) Gals, prices are dropping, or so it has been reported. That news comes as good news to most of us. It means that we will all have more money to spend on shopping. This is the first year sincei 1942, that women’s fashions will not be re stricted by government order, which means that fashions will undergo a complete change. We have al ready witnessed some of these changes: longer skirts, longer jack ets, wider skirts, fuller sleeves, etc. So, in buying new things, these trends should be kept in mind. Clothes will take on more fullness, in the form of pleats, flares, ruf fles, capeless effects, and a new emphasis on back appeal, such as bows, drapes, bustles, etc. All of us however cannot afford an en tire new wardrobe, but we can man age to lower our hems the required few inches, and buy our new clothes with an eye to the length of the conducted through the French quar ters Saturday afternoon, and there was a banquet at Arnauld’s Rest aurant Saturday night. Harnett T. Kane, author of sev eral current best-sellers, spoke to the members of the conference and guests on “Louisiana - - Bayous and Plantations”. Reminder. . The administration announced this week that smoking will continue to be prohibited, in the gymnasium both on the dance floor and in the girls’ cloak room. At all dances, how ever, smoking is permitted on the terrace of the gym. ffflT/srs ■iedmoiit enqrauinq co.
