There’s a rack in the Salemite#-
oflice that looks like an oversized
laundry dryer. Instead of milady’s
lingerie and grubby woolen socks,
however, university and college
, newKjiapers from all over the state
and the Southeast hang on this
rack. Among them are ‘ ‘ The Daily
Tar Heel ”, “ The Duke Chronicle ’ ’,
‘‘The Davidsonian” and many other
college periodicals. From time to
time members of the Salemite staff
read these publications and would
like to pass on to you—from time
to time—-the funny facts, interesting
ideas, timely topics, and names in
the news that might otherwise escape
your notice. After our most recent
reading we noticed, (and not with
out interest) ... _
. . . that Saso Morris’s picture
was in the Daily Tar He^l. Saso
was sponsored by Walt Jones, Kappa
Sig, at the Carolina May Frolics.
. . . that Jerry Pence, that Caro
lina cheerleader who fell for and not
on Miriam Bailey last November,
after being defeated as an indepen
dent candidate for head cheerleader,
announced that he would back that
Student Party candidate. Norm Sper,
in the run-off.
. . . that a Yankee has held his
own in the South. Jack Foster
sports editor of the Duke Chronicle
who writes the weekly column “Time
Out” is a Jersey classmate of Porter
Evans.
. . . that at Duke politicking is so
professional that campaigning litera
ture comes under dormitory doors as
thick and as fast as cockroaches.
. . . that two Winston-Salem vet
erns, Eddie Katzin and Marvin
Miller, started a suds delivery ser
vice at Carolina. Perplexed on how
to stretch their government allow
ances to cover all the expenses of
a university career, they decided to
turn it into business and at the same
time apply the theory they’re learn
ing as commerce majors. To meet
the thirsty demands of Carolina, the
two vets are on the hop from 11:30
a. m. to 11:30 p. m. and they still
manage to get to classes.
. . . that at SALEM Peggy Davis
entered the Varsity contest by writ
ing two hundred words on “Why
I’ll Never Date Him Again” and
won a ten dollar check. Check thro
ugh the rest of the Salemite to see
how she did it.
Stee Qees Go
To Florida
“Get off that plane, you’re in
Tallahassee, the capital city of Flo
rida and the southland at its best! ”
This is what Nell Penn Watt and
Louise Stacy were singing at 3 a. m.
last Thursday morning, when they
arrived at Tallahassee to attend the
annual conference of the Southern
Intercollegiate Association of Stu
dent Government. ^
After a five-hour lay-over in At
lanta with Nell Penn’s brother at
Georgia Tech, the two Salemites were
ready to settle down to a three-day
period of giving and receiving ideas
about student government from girls
from colleges all over the South.
Knowing these two, though, the en
tire time wasn’t spent working.
They went on a tour of Florida State
University (the host college for this
conference), attended a swimming
exhibition, went on a tour to the
University lake and finally attended
a formal banquet and reception. The
high-light of the trip, according to
Nell Penn and Stacy was the ap
pearance of four boys at the all-worn
an conference. W'ith a ratio of 23
to 1, the boys thoroughly enjoyed
themselves.
_When asked to make a statement
about the conference, Nell Penn and
Stacy replied: “Here’s to more and
more trips to Florida with less rain
on the day of departure!
We got the ideas and we know
the student body will help us put
them into effect.”

By his notes he’s known—well.
(If you look back you’ll see char.)
Now did you have to go very fart
The answer to the last line is no.
You just have to go as far as the
Salemite office with your answer
and explanation of at least three
clues, written on a Chesterfield wrap
per, to win yourself a CARTON of
Chesterfields.
Mary Bryant was the Miss Shush
of last week’s contest.
Betty Biles and Anne Mosely, the
winners of tht> Carton of Chester
fields, figured out the following
clues;
Clue one: Army unscrambled is
Mary.
Clue two: Be gives her second in
itial.
Clue three: Gee, Mary is the past
president of Student Government,
better known as Stee-6ee.
Clue four: 13 to 2: the thirteenth
and second letters of the alphabet
are M. B.
Davis Wins
As She Pens
by Peggy Davis
Here’s how to win a contest.
If it’s one of those say-it-in-200-
words-or-less jobs, I can tell you
how it’s done because I won one
this week.
First, be reasonably sure that it’s
a contest that millions of people
won’t be entering. In fact the
fewer the better. The one that I
entered was open to female college
newspaper editors, and I figured that
there probably weren’t over 100 in
the U. S.; 50 would be too busy to
enter; 25 wouldn’t need the money;
and 15 probably couldn’t write. That
narrowed things down enough to
make it interesting.
Second, sit before a typewriter
and roll in a piece of scratch paper.
Peck out the title—This one was
“Why I Never Da:ted HIM Again.”
Now, disregard every rule or sug
gestion for composition that Miss
Byrd has ever taught you. Just
mix up 200 pithy words, sprinkle a
few dozen well-chosen cliches and
above all, DON’T EEVISB. Inci
dentally, fiction is always stranger
than ffect.
Next sign your name to the scratch
paper and add a P. S. Something
like “Hope this is what you want
for your Date Clinic in the June
issue of Varsity, the young man's
magazine.”
Finally enclose a picture—one of
your roommate preferably especially
if she’s May Queen.
Mail the letter and forget all
about it. ,
If you’ve followed this procedure
closely, I guarantee that a month
later you’ll get a letter from Par
ent’s', Institute (Varsity’s sponsor)
informing you that “we have re
ceived your Date Clinic manuscript
and will use it in the early summer
issue of the magazine.” Enclosed,
by the way, will be $10 for your
10 minutes’ work—and that ain’t
bad!
Anyway, that’s how I won a con
test.

WSSFFund Highlights
With "Seeds Of Destiny”
“Seeds of Destiny”, a World Stu
dent Service movie, was shown in
chapel on Tuesday.
This movie was made of accurate,
authentic scenes in various war-torn
countries of Europe and China. The
movie emphasized the hunger, dis-;
ease, and ruin that affect the child
ren of other countries; and showed
the extreme need of funds for the
children and students in other coun
tries.
Salem’s World Student Service
Fund drive for $888.88 is continuing.
Thus far the pledges for the amount
total $550. Money for this cause re
ceived from Book Store Day and
Stunt Night amounts to $210. Salem
still needs approximately $150 in
order to reach her goal. Pledges and
contributions are being collected this
week and next.

’ A\UY...I smoke Chesterfield
(from a series of statements by prominent tobacco farmers)
‘‘Chesterfield is my brand. I’ve been smoking them for
about 16 years. I like them because they’re mild and
really satisfy. I know the kind of tobacco that’s in
them ... it’s the best.
“Chesterfield buys the best grades of tobacco. It’s
mild, light, ripe, sweet-smoking tobacco. They pay the
highest prices for their tobacco. It’s top quality leaf.”
