THE TSALEMIT;E
MARION NEELY WILL
ATTEND CONFERENCE
The International Student Volun
teer Convention will be held in
Indianapolis, Indiana, December
twenty-eighth to January first. Miss
Marion Neely of the Freshman
Class has been elected to represent
Salem at this convention. This is a
signal honor for a college girl and
Salem is proud of her representa
tive and feels sure that she will
bring back many new ideas which
will be helpful to her college.
The last Student Volunteer Con
ference was held in Des Moines
four years ago. At the first Con
ference, there were only six hun
dred and eighty delegates. At the
one held in 1921 there were six
thousand, eight hundred and ninety.
This year plans are being made for
the accommodation of delegates
from over one thousand institutions
in the United States and Canada,
besides representative from other
countries.
All of the speakers are among
the most famous men of the day,
some of them being: Dr. Sherwood
Eddy, Dr. John R. Mott, Dr.
Robert E. Speer, and Robert P.
Wilder, chairivian of this conven
tion. Every college in North Caro
lina will be represented, some of the
larger ones, having as many as
twelve delegates. The North Caro
lina delegates will leave for Indian
apolis on a special train from
Greensboro.
CURRENT HISTORY
(^Continued from page one)
are homeless, and wander about
looking for the bodies of friends
and kin, althougli relief parties are
doing everything possible to help
them. The Pope has sent a donation
to the Bishop of Bergamo, and
troops are aiding in immediate re
lief for the sufferers.
The dike, which was six thousand
feet above sea level, served to hold
back the ten million cubic yards of
water in Lake Gleno, and broke, be
cause of the immense pressure at
either end. The valley now is a
solid sheet of water, often more
than six feet deep, bounded on one
side by Lake Iseo, fifteen miles
from Gleno. The former checked
the violent flood, or it would have
swept on even further. There is
fear of other dams breaking, and if
they do, this will be one of the
worst floods of recent occurrence.
WHAT BOOKS WOULD YOU
SELECT?
At a recent lecture to the class in
agricultural journalism, composed
mostly of seniors, the forty-six mem
bers were asked to hand in at the
next meeting the titles of the three-
books they would select if exiled
from the society of their fellowmen
for one year and limited to this as
reading matter for that length of
time. In order to make the field of
choice as wide as possible, the Bible
®nd Shakespeare were to be ex-
^uded from the lists submitted.
Ihese three books received the
highest number of “votes” in order
given here:
Pilgrims Progress”—Bunyan ....16
Miserables”—Hugo 12
Gutline of History”—Wells 8
Ben Hur” and “Paradise Lost”
were given a place by six of the
^udents and four named “David
opperfield” as one of the three
ooks they would like to have. Three
members of the class showed that
^ had not forgotten their child-
ood days by choosing “Robinson
rusoe.” Books of travel, standard
iiovels, well-known histories, and
poems of Longfellow and
Aennyson were represented on the
ists handed in. Harold Bell Wright
a fairly popular author with the
class but no particular book of his
deceived more than three votes.
The biggest day in all the year—gifts, good-will and hearty cheer.
A Merry Christmas to all.
