OPEN FORUM. ’
On May 12th members of the Open
Forum gave a most enjoyable and in
structive program of current topics.
A resume of the subjects was given
by Miss Charlotte Mathewson, who
introduced each speaker in turn, 'ihe
first topic was one which is daily
growing in interest—the prison re
form. Miss Margaret Whitaker pre
sented, in a pleasing style, many
phase of this subject, including th'
evils of the presnt system, and the
remedies for those evils.
Miss Julia Hairston then gave a
talk entitled “Julius Caesar’s Stenog
rapher”, a most interesting history of
short-hand. She spoke of the favor
with which this art was received by
Julius Caesar and his contemporaries
and traced, illustrating with humorous
incidents, the course of its progress
down to the present day.
A discussion of the railroad ques
tion, which as long been of primary
interest in the United States, followed
Miss Hairston’s talk. Misses Annie
Sue Roughton, Louise Cooke, and
Mary Warren gave clear and concise
talks in the condition of the railroads
m the United States, comparing them
with the roads of France and England,
pointing out the evils of our sysiem,
and the improvements Vvhich could bo
provided.
Although the meeting lasted onl>
one hour, it was both benelicia. .in^
entertaining, and was indeed one ot
the most interesting of the year, as
was testified by the large and ap
preciative audience.
NEW ORLEANS CONFERENCE.
For the last ten years students ol
our country have felt the great need
of getting together to discuss prob
lems important in all colleges. This
need, to a great extent, has been filled
by district conferences of each of the
organizations in college. It is the pur
pose of the students at such confer
ences to discuss freely and fully the
problems in their college. The pur
pose of the student body for sending
delegates to conferences is that they
might bring back new ideas for help
ing to build up the morale of the stu
dent body.
At the Student Government Inter-
Collegiate Association Conference held
at Sophie Newcomb in New Orleans,
April 19 to 21st, twenty-five colleges
of the south were represented. It
might be interesting for you to know
that more colleges of North Carolina
were represented than of any other
state. The northern colleges have the
same kind of organization and dele
gates are exchanged for each meet
ing by the two organizations. The
meetings occur annually at different
colleges throughout the district. For
1923 the meeting ■ will be at Wes;
Hampton College, Richmond, Virginia.
The Student Government oiganiza-
tion is the most important of all the
organizations in college. The impres
sion strangers and Freshmen get of a
college upon entering it depends upon
the kind of Student Self-Government
it has. The kind of citizens of our
generation will depend to a great de
gree upon the ideals students get of
honor and aelf-goveming while in col
lege. To have college student govem
ment work smoothly the spirit of col
lege must be gotten over effectively to
the Freshmen and the upper classm:n
must hold up the ideals by living ex
amples.
Such are the problems, along with
many others, which were discussed in
the conference at Newcomb.
The working out of such ideals in
our college depends upon each girl’s
honor and her desire to govern herself
as to bring credit to Salem.

passed the 1919 record of Salem Col-
she made a total height of four feet
and two inches. In the standing broad
jump, Sophia Hall and Katherine
Denny surpassed the 1919 record of
the college and in the running broad
jump, Sophia Hall almost equaled the
record of 1919 with Bessie Chandler
close second.
Ranking high among the sports en
joyed on the back campus was that of
baseball. Promptly after track the
two teams. Freshmen against Upper
classmen, met on the hill and a lively
game ensued, in which the players on
both sides put forth maximum pep.
In spite, however, of the vigorous op
position of the Upper-Classmen team,
the Freshmen won by the score of 18
to 0. Chinnis, Upper-Classman,
showed superior skill in the pitcher's
box. Abel, Freshman, was partic
ularly good at pitching, at the bat did
her best work. Members of both
teams backed up by captains and
stars, making it a hotly contested
game. The line-up was as follows:
Upper-Classmen, J. Sprinkle, S. Tom
linson, E. Griffin, R. Reeves, M. Chin
nis, E. Denny, E. Rhodes, E. Sellers,
B. Chandler. Freshmen: J. Abel, M.
Wamble, L. Woodward, S. Hall, T.
Hedgepeth, E. Parker, A. Dunklee, R.
Womelsdorf, A. M. Stafford.
Following the games and track
meet a delightful picnic dinner was
held on the back campus, making a
fitting close to a day that will long be
remembered by Salem girls.
