TWO S A L E M I T E The Salemite Member Southern Published Weekly by ( Body of Siilem Co EDITORIAL STAFF Miriam Brietz, ’2G Editor-jn-Chief Dorothy Siewers, ’27__..Man’ Ruth Efird, ’26 Reporter Minnie Price, ’27. Frances Jarratt, Lucile Hart, ’27_. ’27—. Leonora Taylor, ’! BUSINESS STAFF May Hairston, '2G, Business Manager Elizabeth Hastings, ’27, Asst. Bus. Mgr. Isabel Miller, ’28, Circulation Manager This first issue of the Salemite is principally one of introduction and of welcome—to introduce the Salemite to new students, to introduce them to organiza tions and customs and to give to everyone a hearty welcome to Salem. To new students “How do you do! we’re glad you’ve come to Salem and hope you’ll stay a while.” To old ones, “Welcome home! It’s good to see you again.” we realize the futility of saying to anyone, “Be adaptable,” yet the lact remains that if a person makes up his mind to be miser able in a certain place, he will,! in all likelihood, be miserable; but he will be unhappy not be cause of any fault in his en vironment, but because of his mental attitude. Our gener alities have practical application ■egai’d to student life. There some girls who seem capable of fitting in with the customs and rules of a school, STHSI Our second welcome is a wel come to the columns of the Salemite. We have an Open Forum column which is quite literally open to everyone, both students and faculty, and we want to ask you to take advan tage of this invitation. We can not have an Open Forum with out your help. If you have any thing to say publicly, you say it effectively in the Salemite, with no danger of stage fright. A college newspaper attempts to represent student opinion, but it cannot do so if the students have no opinion or if they fail to express them. We are ready to print articles of both criticism and praise. A Freshman’s ideas are as valuable to us as are a Seniors. Don’t be a nonentity. Make your ideas count. Write your article now and send it in. All contributions must be signed. Vision—what does the word mean to the college student vision is a goal, an ideal toward which one may strive, one may work. One may persevere. A vision in its broader meaning is more than an ideal, a goal, it is the continual sight of the ideal, the persistent knowledge or image of the goal. college student without vision fails. She becomes un interesting, lifeless, listless; her ideal droops, her ambition fails, and her energy wavers. It is the goal, the vision, which, if ever kept in mind, spurs the student on and on to higher ■esponsibilities, to greater suc- The goal, constructed at the beginning of school, and with the aid of vision, will become centive which will prove indis pensable throughout the college Purpose of Association; List of Departments There has been no request for an editorial on the following subject, but in behalf of the various organizations in school, we wish to make this request of the new student: Do not draw into an impenetrable shell of exclusiveness. Participate ii student activities; join student organizations; be a part of the student body. Forget the vast importance of yourself as an in dividual and realize the impor tance of yourself as part of an organization. As soon as a girl enters school, she automatically becomes a member of the Stu dent Self Government Associa tion, of classes, perhaps of de partmental clubs. Do not ignore these responsibilities. Respond to contacts. Become an active member, not only of these or ganizations which you join in voluntarily, but of others which you join of your o^vn will. Be a necessai-y part of the student body! Freshmen, we are glad to welcome you as Salem students. We have been looking forward all summer to seeing you, and we ire sure that the realization of .'our class spirit and your idea cf co-operation will exceed f'liticipation. You will not find it hard to see the renowned Salem Spirit displayed by the upper classmen, and we are cer tain that soon you will be bued with it. We are counting on great things from the class of ’29, and with the enthusiasm you have shown from the first, we are sure that there will be no disappointment. Welcome, of ’29.

H INTF.RESTKD Along with the subject of par ticipation comes its companion topic of adaptability. Too many people, when transplanted sud denly from one environment to another, fail to respond satis factorily to the new conditions and make themselves unhappy by vainly longing for their for mer surroundings. Of course Important Announcement From Registrars Office Monday, September the foui-- teenth, is the date on which all deficiency examinations will be held. A list of students entitled to re-examination will be posted on the bulletin board in Main Hall. Students failing to report at this time will forfeit the right to a re-examination, and will cur a failure in the course. A day’s work in a minute Mesabi Range, renowned iron ore deposit, is yield ing its mineral wealth at the rate of 16 tons for every bite of an electric scoop. A man with a shovel would work a whole day to mine and load eight cubic yards of iron ore which this 300-ton electric giant moves in one minute. Of course, all mining is not done on the surface. But there are many mines in which electricity has changed our conception of mining operations. Wires, pene- toating even to the deepest shafts and galleries, have brought light, power, ventilation and added safety to those who must work in the very bowels of the earth. Electricity’s contribution to mining may be of partic ular interest to the student of mining engineering, but it is of general interest to all college men as still another example of how electricity is simplifying the world’s work.
