NORTH CAROUNA COLLEGIATE PRESS
ASSOCIATION MEETS AT N. C. C. W.
Twenty-Five Delegates Represent
Eleven Colleges—Much Progress
Made Through Discussion of
Problems
The first of the semi-annual conven
tions of the N. C. Collegiate Press
Association was held at N. C. C. W.
beginning Friday, October 28th, and
continuing throughout Saturday. This
was the third of these conventions, the
first of which took place at the Uni
versity one year ago.
The purpose of this organizaticm is
to create a 'keener interest in all
college publications of a literary
nature to foster journalism, and to
elevate, the standard of student
thought. This association is novel in
that it is distinctly a student organ
ization, being run entirely by the
editors of the various college publica
tions.
The meeting was in every respect
most successful. The lectures of
Professors E. C. Lindeman and
Leonard B. Hurley, both of the
faculty of N. C. C. W., were interest
ing and enlightening. Professor
Lindeman set forth five functions of
the college newspaper, and Professor
Hurley explained the province of the
college magazine. Another feature
of the occasion was a talk by Mr.
Lenoir Chambers, of the Greensboro
Daily News. He gave a splendid in
sight into the organization and work
ings of a real newspaper. The re
ports of college representatives
proved most helpful in that many new
and progressive ideas were intro
duced. This exchange of methods is
most beneficial since it tends toward
the promotion of systematized man
agement and a higher standard of
literary effort.
On Friday evening a delightful re
ception was tendered the visitors by
the Quill Club. This was the occasion
on which everybody came to know
everybody else. On Saturday after
noon as guests of the Coraddi staff,
the representatives enjoyed a drive,
after which they participated in a
camp supper given at Lindley Park
by the Athletic Association. The
crowning event of the convention oc
curred on Saturday evening when the
Carolinian staff was hostess at a ban
quet. Interspersed between courses
•A'hich were served by the Carolinian
nporters, came words of welcome and
toasts of great variety. Throughout
the evening music was furnished by
the N. C. C. W. orchestra. This charm
ing affair closed the meeting. The

ADDRESS BY REV. GEORGE
HEATH.
On Friday night, October 21st, Rev.
George Heath made a short address
before teh Young Women’s Christian
Association. Rev. Heath is the father
of Mr. Edwin J. Heath and is at pres
ent making his home in Winston-
Salem just a few blocks from the
college.
The entire student body considered
it quite a privilege to have the oppor
tunity to meet Mr. Heath after the
conclusion of the service. We hope it
will not be very long before Mr. Heath
will pay us another visit.
At last the Program Committee of
the Y. W. C. A. cabinet was able to
discover that Dr. Rondthaler would
have a few vacant minutes to spare
on Friday night, October 28th. He
was immediately entreated to give
that time to the Y. W. C. A. Dr.
Rondthaler talked to us about "sel
fishness” as one of the biggest temp
tations confronting college students.
He emphasized particularly the care
less habit of spending money as a
thoughtless means of developing
selfishness.
This short address from Dr. Rond
thaler, though brief in outline was
strong in meaning and timely in its
presentation. It opened a new line of
thought for each Salem girl.
Equally as interesting as his talk
was this remark made by Dr. Rond
thaler after the close of the meeting,
“I have something else I want to say
to these girls sometime.”
Curiosity is the besetting sin of
college girls! Why doesn’t Dr. Rond
thaler talk to us again next Friday
night ?
Miss Eliza Gaston Moore, U. F. R.,
is spending this week-end in Greens
boro attending a conference of Under
graduate Field Representatives. An
account of the Conference, as given by
Miss Moore, will appear in next week’s
issue of the Salemite.

YOUNG JOURNAUSTS
MEET IN GATE CITY
Greensboro, Oct. 29.—Representa
tives of 13 state colleges, who gather
ed here for third semi-annual meet
ing of the North Carolina Collegiate
Press Association, have enjoyed a
splendid meeting, the program being
marked by a number of addresses of
more than usual interest.
One of the lively features of the
entire conference was the tilt between
Wake Forest and Elon this morning
over the place at which the associa
tion will meet next. After much
oratory had been expended by advo
cates of both schools, the vote was
taken and Wake Forest chosen as the
next place of meeting.
Features of the morning session
were talks by Prof. L. B. Hurley, of
the North Carolina College for Wo
men’s English department, and Le
noir Chambers, of the local staff of the
Greensboro Daily News. Mr. Hurley
told of the field for the college pub
lications and urged that interest in
the papers be kept up and not allowed
to wane, as it has done in so many
schools.
Mr. Chambers told of the organiza
tion of a daily newspaper, paying
particular attention to the city de
partment, enlivening his discussion
with a number of instances brought to
his attention in local work.
This afternoon the visiting college
newspaper people were the guests of
the newspaper staff at North Caro
lina College for Women, being carried
on an auto ride over the city and a
number of other interesting features
being carried out during the after
noon.
Tonight the convention was brought
to a close with a banquet at the
college.

HAT-BDRNING AN INTER
ESTING AND IMPRES
SIVE AFFAIR
About six o’clock on the evening of
the 24th, anyone passing Salem Square
might have seen an interesting sight—
at least interesting to the white-
gowned Sophomores fluttering about
the portico and steps of Main Halland
especially so to the black-robed
Seniors somewhere out of sight, for
the time being. For it was the night
of Senior hat burning and for that
occasion the class of ’22 had invited
as their guests the executive boards
of three organizations in town, the
Rotary, Kiwanis, Civitan and Woman’s
Clubs. The Seniors had asked their
sister class to meet and entertain
their guests so the So^)homores spent
some time with the guests in intro
ductions and conversation on Main
Hall steps before the dinner bell rang.
Then each Sophomore directed her
guest to the dining room where was
found the Juniors as hostesses at the
heads of the tables. The Freshmen
and faculty followed and when all
were in, the Seniors, singing the Alma
Mater and led by their mascot, Master
Agnew Bahnson, marched in and took
their places at the long table in the
center of the room. Miss Elizabeth
Gillespie, Senior class president, spoke
a few words of welcome to the guests.
During the course of the dinner songs
were sung and responses were given
by the Presidents of the various or
ganizations, who with Dr. and Mrs.
Rondthaler, were seated at the Senior
table. Especially interesting was the
talk of the president of the Civitan
Club since he told us something of the
history and purposes of this newer
club with which we were not so
familiar.
After dinner we were ushered to the
back campus for the ceremony of hat-
burning. As we sat or stood on the
embankment by the basketball court
and waited for the Senior procession
we realized what a beautiful spot we
have for such occasions. On the
court were three fires, the first and
last representing Freshman and
Junior days and the center one for
Sophomore and Senior days. The
music was furnished from the sum
mer house at the right hand comer of
the court. In that comer also a
throne was arranged for Dr. Rond
thaler.
The Seniors approached from the
steps leading to the lower campus,
singing “the "college marching song.”
They marched around the court and
finally circled about the first fire sing-
