The relationship of the faculty to
the college newspaper was the subject
next brought up. Both advantages
and disadvantages were freely dis
cussed by the various representatives.
Mr. W. F. Cash interestly outlined
the editorial policy of college publica
tions. He stressed the need of the
average newspaper for a broadened
viewpoint. The editorials should not
be confined to campus questions but
should extend their range in order to
stimulate thought and debate along
broader lines. After more detailed
discussion on the subject, the meeting
adjourned.

TODAY’S ETIQUETTE LESSON
[From Kiwanis Kut-Ups]
After you have passed a street car,
keep just ahead of it. This prevents
anyone else getting past and it is
also a source of delight to the motor-
man, who should have bumped you in
the spare time when you cut in front
of him.
When “heading in” your car to park
it, always place your car right in the
center of a space really large enough
for two cars- This prevents you from
scraping the fenders with your coat.
Let the other fellow find a place of
his own.
Never look behind when pulling
away from the curb. Let the other
fellow look out for you. It’s just as
much your street as it is his.
Third of Graduating Recitals Was
Pleasing Event; Large Audience
Present.
Miss Queen Graeber, of Kannapolis,
N. C., gave a delightful recital of
pianoforte music on Monday night,
April 23, in Memorial Hall, Salem
College. This w'as the third of the
graduating recitals of the season and
was attended by a very friendly and
enthusiastic audience of students and
townspeople. The hall was attrac
tively decorated with baskets of
bright-colored flowers and large ferns,
together with huge branches of dog
wood blossoms which gave an air of
real springtime.
Miss Graeber is a pupil of Miss
Ruth Duncan and shows very careful,
thorough training in every respect.
She plays with style and individuality
as well as a refined musical sense.
The program opened brilliantly with
the Allegro from the Vienna Carnival
Scenes of Schumann, in which Miss
Graeber showed a splendid knowledge
of contrast and in understanding of
tonal values- The singing passages
displayed a pleasing tone and good
phrasing. The Allegro was followed
by the Romanze and Scherzino from
the same suite—the Romanze being
the quiet, songful movement between
the two livelier scenes. Miss Graeber
played the Scherzino with just the
right lift, shading it very effectively
and giving it the spirit it demands.
In her second group of pieces Miss
Graeber showed a very light wrist and
fleet fingers. The “Butterfly” Etude
of Chopin was charming in its- concep
tion and was just as charmingly ex
ecuted- It held the audience in
breathless attention and brought forth
a storm of applause which Miss
On Sunday afternoon from four-
until five-thirty o’clock, both the out
going and in-coming cabinet members
of the Y. W. C. A. held a meeting in
the living room of Alice Clewell build
ing. As guests and co-workers,
Messrs. McLeod and Jones of the “Y”
cabinet of Davidson Colege were
present at this meeting where general
cabinet work and campus problems
were beneficially discussed.
Graeber graciously acknowledged.
“Were I a Bird,” in Etude by Henselt
followed and was done in a light, airy
manner. The group was finished by
the Staccato Etude in C of Rubinstein
and in this number Miss Graeber dis
played some of her best work of the
evening. Her staccato chords were
crisp and fluent, and the melody, com
ing as it does in the left hand was
splendidly managed. The climax was
well proportioned and the piece ended
with a dash.
The program finished with the first
movement of the Concert in A minor
by Schumann, the orchestral part be
ing played on the organ by Dean
Shirely in a very musicianly manner.
This is a very beautiful concert and
Miss Graeber played it, as she played
her other numbers, in a musical, in
telligent fashion.
Miss Graeber was fortunate in hav
ing as her assistant the Rev. J. Ken
neth Pfohl, D.D., who possesses a very
pleasing baritone voice. Dr. Pfohl is
always heard with a great deal of
