Editor Subscription Rates One year $1.50 Single copies 15 Children in their most impression able years are allowed to attend over drawn “movies” dealing with problems which their immature minds cannot grasp, and with which the average citizen is never confronted. This type of show has a great influence on the susceptible minds of children and is often destructive to the highest ideals and ambitions. Every w'oman realizes this; and it is time that some action is taken to protect the minds of our future citizens from such deteriorat ing influences. Very few states have instituted a state board of censors and a bill is now on foot to provide for one in North Carolina. No wide-awake citizen should be satisfied until this bill is passed, and a committee of men and women selected whose business it I will be to insure clean and wholesome I moving pictures to the public of North Carolina. 80% Exam. Exemptions for Seniors SOCIAL LIFE AT SALEM Salem College is aspiring to and is about to attain the A1 mark. Many important steps have been taken in this direction during the past few' years, and the goal is almost leached. But in our earnest endeavor to raise our scholastic standard some thing f'lse that is of equal importance in college life has been forgotten—our | social activities. They must be en- j larged and improved to meet the de- j mands of an A1 college. Democracy j and co-operation must prevail. Salem ■ needs more informal social gatherings' in which the whole student body takes part. As it is, Saturday night affairs and other social occasions are arrang ed for by small groups, and, while this is desirable at times, the continued habit is destructive to the spirit of friendliness and comradship that exists at Salem. Man> a shrinking, unnoticed girl should be brought out in the sunshine of good-fellowship and exhibit hereto fore hidden social qualities which no one dreams she possesses. It is noticeable that Salem has very | little social intercourse with the out side world. It seems to us that in-| formal receptions to the teams and or-^ ganizations of our men’s colleges! would be in order. As it stands now there are two functions during the year to which young men are invited, namely, the Junior-Senior Prom, and a reception to one college glee club by the Seniors. How about that for the well-rounded college life! i It tnight be added that if Salem en- j tertained more within her walls, thati there would not be such a large num- | ber of week-ends spent away from the i college, in Winston and neighboring towns. / We know girls in our own homei towns who meet boy friends on the | street or in their friends’ homes, be- j cause they cannot have callers at j home. We criticize such girls, but are they entirely to blame? Salem is our college home, and there we want to live happy and sensible' lives, with the privileges and diver sions that are suitable to college j women. ! THIS IS TO REMIND YOU This is to remind you that the famine is still raging in China. It is unbelievable that ^ self-respecting nation should stand coolly by and see another nation starve; it is just as un believable that a body of self-respect ing students should neglect to do their part. Looking at the matter from a selfish point of view, it affords no little satisfaction to know that you have helped to save a human life. Let’s get together on this thing and do credit to ourselves and Salem College. 80% Exam. Exemptions for Seniors 80 '7r Exam. Exemptions for Seniors | “MOVIES” IN NORTH CAROLINA i Moving pictures are diamonds-in- the-roiigh. Their value is unlimited, but they need much polishing, refin ing, and, culling. 80% EXAM EXEMPTIONS FOR SENIORS A fight is being waged by the Salem College students with an 80% exam- exemption for Seniors as an objective. The matter has gone through the Student Council and is now being con sidered by a faculty committee. We wish to call the faculty’s atten tion to an extract from a recent issue of the Davidsonian, in which it at tributes the large number of upper classraon’s names on the honor roll to the fact that Seniors are exempted from exams if they attain a certain percentage. The five following points are the chief arguments for the adoption of this measure: 1. It would encourage the Seniors to study more systematically through out the term. 2. If a Senior maintains an average of 80 throughout the semester she has a more thorough knowledge of the subject than if she loafs until exam time and then crams madly. 3. By the time a student finishes three years of college work she has probably learned good habits of study and gained the ability to gather up the lose ends for herself. 4. Other colleges have tried it and found it successful. 5. Salem is trying to raise her standard. Wouldn’t more systematic preparation of daily recitations facili tate this? If there are any members of the faculty who remain unconvinced after reading these five points we invite them to use the Salemite as an agent to distribute their counter-arguments among the students, for after all both Salem faculty and students have the same goal in view and that is to rriake Salem bigger and better.
