However, only the | students who are concerned about the actions of the Judicial Board? The flu bug seems to have been conquered around the Square, but if Tendriis is still lurking in the Ivy, he would hear coughs and snittles echoing in the nails. Between the snow (will it ever end?), colds, term papers, and Parents’ Day, the past two weeks have been tuil. Saturday, the campus was full of people waikmg around with little yellow light-bulbs pinned on their coats and Mothers who weren’t used to cracks in Brick walks. Parents weren’t the only people who came up for the week-end John Wilsey came home from Davidson and Jette Seear now has his Beta pm . . . Jean Warthen also got a pin, plus a hund red biddies (C. 0. D.) that Ralph had to auction off after the Post Office closed Tuesday . . . Lydia Seaber and Mark Haw thorne, a Delta Sig at Wake Forest, became pinned week-end before last . . . And Elaine Drake was the proud one who had “Best Wishes” sung to her at lunch, Monday. In spite of the snow, lots of girls went to see My Fair Lady in Greensboro, and the Robert Shaw Chorale at Wake Forest . . . Speaking of snow, we have some famous last words. Mr. Michie, to his English History class (8:00, Wednesday, March 2) : “I’ll bet j'ou all a cup of coffee that it won’t snow more than two inches.” And if any of you see some Cokes or Bubble- Ups on the ground around Main Hall if the snow melts, don’t be surprised. The Salemite staff has been using the snow as a refrigerator, and can’t remember how many bottles they put out. There was a mixture of cheers and sighs last week-end over the out-come of the ACC Basketball Tournament. It all startec. when Duke beat Carolina—by two little points—and then went on to heat Wake Forest. The end came Tuesday night when Duke beat Princeton . . . And there were some old faces aronnc. over the week-end. Leafy Pollock from Carolina and Velva Whitescarver from Duke decided to have a look at the old stamping grounds . . . Miss Battle is very proud of her brother who won a Morehead Scholarship . . . And she is soooo excitec about her new car (that is, if the snow ever melts so that she can go and get it.) Through all this. Old Chapel resounds with the voices o;' Egyptians in bermudas and toreadors, sitting on over-turnec. waste-baskets, wailing “ . . . but Miss Battle, she’s supposed to come in after I say that . . . 1” We still haven’t figured out who the two little boys in blue were. They wandered into the Refectory Monday at lunch, carrying “Big Oranges.” Every body is resigned to the idea of Mid-semester tests—Snow. Just about all the term papers have been turned in and the Reserve Book room of the Library is full of people catching up on their outside reading. “BUSY” signs keep cropping up on doors as test-time draws nigh. Everybody is talking about the new kit tens in Sisters, the colored eggs in the Dairy Barn, and Home Management Girls have “not quite two weeks to go.” And, for heaven’s sakes, I want to thank Russell for the CRANBERRY SAUCE Sunday!

The sug gestion is that more careful thoagh be applied to any such pieces before they are published in the futnre There are several reasons for this- 1. The message, however E nocently intended, can be in- terpreted as offensive to girb who have “achieved the final goal” as shown in the picture, 2. The Salemite, being of jour- nalistic interest, is read by the newspaper staffs of other schools, including men’s col leges and universities. The opinion formed from a glance at this cartoon is that Salem girls have one-track minds and a distorted sense of values, 3. Since the Salemite comes out on the week-end, copies of it are often left lying in reception and recreation rooms at the disposal of boys who are wait ing for their dates. In one particular case the item was clipped out and posted on a fraternity bulletin board, to the embarrassment both of Salem girls and of the members oi that fraternity who date here frequently. I am sure that no offense was intended and no such reaction anti cipated. It might be a good idea, though, to check over the next one with a little more forethought. Thank you for your attention.

Certainly “the gossip on campus must be stopped”. The fault does not lie within the Judicial Board. The fault lies in every student who does not carefully consider the pub- tural background, a comprehensive I facts, and, not satisfied, 1 „£ I does not talk to a Judicial Board If a musician is interested in writing, she can become a music critic. A broad educational and cul- knowledge of musical techniques and literature, a broad listening knowledge, and journalistic experi eiice is necessary for this job. Sal aries may range from as little as $50 a week to a high of $10,000 per year. One could go on elaborating on the many careers in music, such as Concert Manager, Music Librarian, Accompanist, Composer, etc. One advantage that might be mentioned about music jobs is that many can be part-time. Therefore, a mother and housewife still has time to be a church choir director or to teach privately. A career in music requires ex pensive training and education, and positions are generally difficult to procure. However, a musician with talent and desire should have a re warding and successful career. Letter to the Eiditor: I would like to clarify a mis understanding of my speech as J presidential candidate to which thf editorial in the March 4th Salemiti referee!. I apologize for not havini been more explicit; I did not niM to imply that the Judicial Boat should report to the Legislativ Board. My suggestion was tto only the student-budget organic tions (whose presidents and editoi are members of the Legislath Board) should bring weekly repor so that there would be more w operation among tlie organization The Legislative Board, in my op? ion, does not need to shoulder tl problems of the Judicial Board.
