Salem Needs Klean Spirit
To Keep Kampus Well
The following is a reprinted editorial from the March 17, 1923,
issue of The Salemite:
"A Keep the Kampus Klean Kampaign has been started by the
Safety League, and Salem is in for a (fall) house-cleaning. An
attitude of approval and a spirit of co-operation on the part of
the student body are absolutely necessary to the success of the
movement. We have no criminally inclined students who go
around scattering boxes, wrappings, and peelings merely for the
pleasure of marring the campus, but we do have a large number
of well-intentioned but thoughtless individuals who, when they
stroll in (fall), allow their minds to dwell on such lofty things, such
as 'What shall I get to wear?', and 'Does blue really become me?',
and 'You know she said . . .', and 'Threads and ripples, in two
more weeks . . .', that they really can't be concerned with such
a low and to-be-taken-for-granfed subject as the lawn upon which
they tred, and down goes an ugly brown wrapping upon the fresh
green grass.
Let's keep our surroundings in harmony with the freshness, and
sweetness, and newness of nature, and this inspiring season will
be worth more to us. It is impossible to be happy and orderly
mentally and spiritually in disorder and confusion. Patronize the
garbage cans placed for your convenience in the halls and on the
campus.
KEEP THE KAMPUS KLEAN!"
, And complaints are heard about drink cans causing litter today.
That sounds minor beside "ugly brown wrappings."
Kelly Discusses Assembly
On Subject Of Vietnam
Dear Editor:
I am writing in response to the
assembly lecture of Chaplain John
O’Connor. The lecture was not only
passionately persuasive but, in sub
stance, typical of most defenses of
our Vietnam policy.
(1) The Chaplain acknowledged
that he was directing his criticism
at the irresponsible critics of our
policy. Question: should not a re
sponsible defense of our policy
direct itself at the responsible crit
ics of that policy? Otherwise re
sponsible critics simply are ignored.
(2) The Chaplain called on us to
support our boys. Question: can
not one distinguish between “sup
port of our boys’’ and “opposition
to our policy’’ ? May it not be that
a policy of deescalation and ne
gotiation with the Vietcong best
supports our boys by saving their
lives ?
(3) The Chaplain emphasized the
immorality of the Vietcong who kill
civilians deliberately, whereas we
kill them accidently. Question: in
war, which is “more moral,’’ de
liberate or accidental killing? Is
not both forms of killing a necessary
aspect of the strategy of each side ?
(4) The Chaplain emphasized that
we have given our word to the Sai
gon Government. Question: have we
given our word unconditionally, or
did we not expect social reforms,
specifically, land reform?
(5) The Chaplain quoted a Viet
namese who said that Americans
are too moral because of their re
straint in killing. Question: is it
simply our morality, or is it not
also that we must win the hearts
and minds of the people in order to
win the war ?
(6) The Chaplain argued that the
refugee camps of South Vietnam
were filled with people fleeing from>
Vietcong terrorists. Compare this
THE SALEMITE

with the New York Times report
in the Winston-Salem Journal
(10-28-67): “More and more, though,
the people called refugees have
been forced into the camps by al
lied troops to deny them to the
Vietcong as workers and soldiers.”
(7) The Chaplain claimed that we
expect too much militarily and po
litically from the Saigon Govern
ment. Yet our government antici
pates that about as many American
soldiers will die this year in Viet
nam as soldiers of the Saigon Gov-
renment. What does this reveal
about the political enthusiams of
the South Vietnamese for the Sai-

Anyone who believes Halloween
is only for kids is probably right,

Troupe To Give
Varied Program
Some of the most exciting enter
tainers from Paris’ Left Bank will
be at Salem College on November
7, when the famous French Literary
cabaret troupe Paris Rive Gauche
performs at Hanes Auditorium. The
concert begins at 8:15 p.m. and
tickets are now on sale for $2.25.
Beatrice Arnac, Bernard Haller,
Jacques Marchais, and Paul Villaz
star in the two hour program of
songs, ballads, satire, and poetry
set to music. All internationally
known, two of the singers, Beatrice
Arnac and Jacques Marchais, have
been awarded the “Oscar” of
French song, Le Grand Prix Du
Disque; Beatrice Arnac in 1962 and
1963, Jacques Marchais in 1966.
In the concert to be given Tues
day night, the selections will range
from 13th century French folklore
through the very latest sounds from
the Paris of today, with words by
Apollinaire, Aragon, Genet, Jacques
Bril, and others. All of the Paris
Rive Gauche comedy and much of
the song material has been adapted
into English for the troupe’s fourth
American tour.
Salemites Beat
High Pointers
The Salem hockey team won its
first game on Thursday, October 26,
by defeating High Point College
3-0. With unaltered spirit the hoc
key team came on strong in this
game. Displaying good offensive
skill throughout the game, Anne
Cargill scored two goals for Salem
in the first half. Combining with the
other offensive players Jane Cron-
ly. Gale Landress, Olive Jenkins,
and Chris Connor, Anne proved the
skill that has won for her the
position of center forward. The of
fense was able to keep the ball in
the High Point striking circle for
the majority of the first half, as
well as the second half.
With the hope of victory high,
the team began the second half de
termined to score again, and it was
only minutes after the half had be-

serenaded the upperclassmen with
a selection of Pumpkin carols.
Earlier, a group of eight freshmen
had begun to spread the spook
spirit with an abundance of Pump
kin carols.
Every Halloween celebration
should end with the announcement
of prizes, and ours could not be
announced until today_ because of
conflicting judges’ opinions. Trisha
Pollock and Anne Plyler win the
prize for looking stupidest (which
really isn’t hard for those two),
Ann Gelston and Eva Drexler win
for having the most courage (they
went trick-or-treating at Dr. Grarn-
ley’s), and Ann Cargill and Susie
Yager win for trying hardest to
think of tricks to play on a certain
pair of seniors. Lehman was, ac
cording to a rumor which circulated
the campus, headquarters of a no
torious kidnapping ring, but the
FBI hasn’t released any further in
formation. There is a chance, how
ever, that this may form the basis
of the episode to be shown on tele
vision two weeks from Sunday.
Surprise birthday parties are the
most fun and everyone should have
at least one. Therefore, several
juniors decided to surprise their
favorite man-about-campus on his
birthday. Arriving at Dr. Clauss’
with fun presents were Pat Jett,
Anne Dukehart, Debbie Yager,
Carrol Cooke who came down from
UNC just for the party, Hillary
Masters, Mary Shepherd, Midge
West, Pat Carter, Tina Gwaltney,
and Julie Graham who baked a
cake for the occasion.
