Dormitories
HavePO Boxes
Individual postboxes have been
installed in each of the dormitories
for the convenience of the students.
This is a project sponsored by the
Student Government Association
for inter-campus mail. All organi
zations are urged to cooperate with
this new system by putting notices
of meeting in the boxes. It is
hoped that this will greatly reduce
the number of oral announcements
which have previously been made
in the dining room.
The Salemite is having its face
lifted! Dr. Gramley, who was
Editor of the Bethleham Globe-
Times, feels that journalism like
any other subject needs instruction.
He has offered to help lis learn
the essentials of a good college
newspaper. >
Dr. Gramley is meeting with the
staff on Monday afternoons in thei
Salemite office and passing on tips
on journalism. To date there have
been two such informal discussions
two bringing up the degrees of impor
tance of the Who? What? Where?
When? How? and Why? in a
straight news story as well as en-
numerating the things which most
interest the reader.
No more dead heads. No more
irrevelant leads. The Salemite staff
is trying to benefit from Dr. Gram-
ley’s advice and produce a better
newspaper. It hopes that the Stu
dent Body will become more Salem
ite conscious. The Editorial Staff
invites all new students interested
in working on the Salemite to at
tend these Monday meetings with
Dr. Gramley.

Lectures Announced For 1949-1950;

Carlson Taken For Student;
Assistant Dean Likes Salem
^ Richard E. Lauterbach, well-
known to Time and Life readers,
will be the first lecturer in the
Salem College Lecture Series
1949-50.
By now it is clear to most Salem-
ites that our new assistant dean of
students is not a student herself.
Although she is a few ^ears older
than most of the seniors. Miss Eve-
Ijm Carlson has her problems in
being mistaken for a freshman.
Before coming to Salem, Miss
Carlson did her undergraduate work
at Cornell where she majored in
Sociology. Then she received her
M. S. from the same university—
this time in Educational Psychology.
She has done work in aptitude test
ing for the Chance-Vought air
craft plant in Conn, and was a
student resident at Cornell last
year.
The only thing that she could
name that she intensly dislikes is.
a self-centered person. Her line
,of things she did like was long and
varied including sailing, reading,
knitting argyles, talking to people,
ind learning how to play golf which
is her latest project.
When asked about Salem she
said that she loved the way every
one made her feel right at home
ciuicker than any other place she
ever had beert. Then, too she said
that the architecture of Salem re
minded her of the old New England
towns which she loves.
As for the freshmen who are her
particular charges in Clewell she
thinks they are a fine group of

A responsive reading, led by Ann
Spencer, followed. The response
used was a traditional one, based
on the Beatitudes.
Lila Fretwell, soprano, sang a
solo selection, “Give of Your Best
to the Master”.
Next, on the vesper program was
the lighting of the new students’
candles by members of the “Y”
Cabinet—intended as a symbol of
the spread of the ‘Light’ of Christ
ianity.
Following this, the new students
went in line to the front of the
chapel and signed Y. W. C. A.
