FOOD.
Wherever there are people there is
the problem of food. There is the
probim of gtting it, and the problem
of using it aright once it is acquired.
The second is the one that concerns us.
Every educational institution faces
that question. What food restriction,
if any, should we have?
Dean Stipe has received a most in
teresting questionaire from the Dean
of Women at Stephens college, Colum
bia, Missouri. In order to show just
what factors enter into the problem, it
is given below;
1. Are your resident students re
quired to attend meals regularly?
2. What method, if any, do you use
for checking meal absences?
3. Is a student free to go to public
eating houses off campus for any
meals ? K so, under what conditions ?
4. Are your students allowed to re
ceive food from home or elsewhere?
Is there any restriction on such boxes ?
5. Is there a shop under control or
lease by the college, where students
may buy additional food? If so, what
kind of foods are on sale?
6. Is the between-meal eating one
of your problems? If so, have you
found any whole or partial solution to
this difficulty which you can pass on ?
Just what is the situation here? It
is this: A large number of students
frequent the drug stores and tea
rooms daily, and eat, at very irregular
intervals such indigestible and un
healthful foods as candies, sodas, pop
corn, etc., and when meal time comes,
bringing with it the plainer foods, no
body is hungry. Then we complain of
headaches and bad complexions, and
the “terrible diet” we have, and va-.
rious other grievances, real and imag
inary.
In prep schools and junior colleges
it is found necessary to have eating
restrictions, but college students are
supposed to have reached the age of
discretion, and it is left up to us, with
deplorable results.
A body made weak by mal-nutrition
is not able to effectively resist dis
ease germs. How many of those who
rush to be vaccinated againts an
epidemic will continue to eat unreas
onably? Your daily bill of fare is of
utmost importance.

Miss Foreman is to represent Salem
Friday and Saturday at Greensboro,
where the registrars of the seven col
leges in North Carolina which are
members of the Southern Association
will meet. The other colleges to be
represented are the University, North
Carolina College for Women, Wake
Forest, Davidson, Trinity and Mere
dith.
It is interesting to know that in
working out high school records, it
has been found that out of all the
grades made by the seventeen girls
who entered the freshman class from
the Winston-Salem high school, only
one was unsatisfactory. This speaks
for itself.
Vassar undergraduates intend to
make a study of their curriculum ir*
the same way that the Barnard stu
dents did a few years ago. They in
tend to use the results partly as a
basis for advice to students in making
up their programs, partly as a basis
for suggested changes in the curricu-.
lum.
Vassar will now give three to five
hours credit for work in French taken
at the University of Lausanne during
the summer.

and sincere interpretation of the
Word of God, without bitterness, or
hate, or resentment of the lot of the
race.
The numbers rendered by the quin
tet were very beautiful and expressive
and much enjoyed by the audience.
These sonsgs were typical of the spon
taneous, free, and simple expression
of the spirit of a race. They were at
once amusing and inspiring, and
showed, as nothing else could have,
the inherent abilities and character of
the negro. Some of the songs ren
dered were:
How I Long to See That Day, The
Great Camp Meeting in the Promise
Land, I’m a-Rolling Through an Un
friendly World, Down by the River
side, Let My People Go, Couldn’t Hear
Nobody Pray, I Want-a Go to Heaven
When I Die, Roll, Jordan, Roll, Keep
Inchin’ Along Like the Po’ Inch
Worm, and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.
BY, OF, AN FOR THE STUDENTS.
Have you criticized our Student Gov
ernment, its rules and actions? At
some time during the year you have
come face to face with some rule (or
lack of some rule) that you would like
changed. Make a note of these occa
sions and bring it to the Student Gov
ernment meetings to be held on Mon
day. Suggestions for amendments to
be put into effect next year will then
be in order, and if this is to be a gov
ernment 01 the students, by the stu
dents, and for the students, we must
give this matter our thoughtful con
sideration.
