Mgi Isabel Miller, ’28, Circulation Manager Salem College had the honor of entertaining the Deans of Women of North Carolina Col leges at its annual meeting the first of this week. During the conference many subjects of vital interest in college life were discussed, and everyone who at tended the conference felt her self at least a, bit nearer the so lution of some of her problems than she was before. Prob ably every college represented will profit from the results, and certainly Salem should get great deal of benefit from it. She felt very proud to entertain conference composed of women so distinguished in the edu cational life of the state, and was delighted to welcome them to her campus. get a good running start, and keep enthusiasm and interest volving until after final ex aminations. There has been a great deal of agitation in various colleges recently about the question, “Is student government a success And in many cases the answer seems to be “No”. There i reason , however, why student government at Salem should not be a success, but the only way in which it may be is through the honor of the individual, her recognition of her responsibility as a member of the association, and her complete co-operation with the council which was elected by the student body. It is a very peculiar pheno menon that some halls are quiet during study hour while in others are noise and confusion. It seems to us that a uniform behavior should be maintained throughout all the buildings and that it should not be necessary to have a “strict proctor” in order to have quiet on the halls. Quiet during study hour and after light bell is one of the rules adopted by the student body, and we are certain that no one would wish it abolished. Why, then, do a few girls con sider themselves unaffected by this rule, although everyone else is subject to it? It seems to that this problem also is c which depends on the honor of the individual, and on her atti tude toward her place in the stu dent government system. The recent cold weather had decided tendency toward stimu lating interest in work. For a while, several victims of spring fever were seen lagging around the halls, and no doubt their work showed marked results of the progress of the affliction. However, “it is an ill wind that blows no one good,” and all we needed was a little stimulation to show that the weather man was still on his job, and that in this windy March weather, is to We are wondering what the “Open Forum” column of “The Salemite” is for. It has been seldom used, that one would think its very existence matter of doubt. And yet, that part of a college paper should be the most predominant, the most outstanding, the most demo cratic. Sixteen column, on average, of a college paper supplied by the staff; one is 1 for the use of any member of the student body. It is an open which anyone might dis cuss any question, without fear of rebuke, or scandal, c hatred; or without being termed a radical. If you do not like the way something is going; or if a certain event or certain situation pleases you, write about it, and let others know of your opinions. No matter how trival those opinions might be to you, they may be worth great deal to some struggling i porter, or staff member; to the Cabinet or the Student Council, to anyone or any organization. ) one has any right to criticize your thinking—it is your Write it down, and send it Academy Seniors Win Final Basket Bail Game Tenth and Eleventh Grades Play Championi-Jhip Game; Score is Five and Pour. OfliTBJEl yacH On W ednesday after March 17, at three o’clock, the last inter-class basket ball game of the season was played be tween the academy senior and junior class teams. The players were attractively dressed white knickers and jerseys of their respective class colors, purple for the seniors, and yel low for the juniors. The game was intensely inter esting for the teams were evenly matched and each side had dif ficulty in scoring against the other. There was fine playing both sides, and some good operative team-work. Captain Virginia Shaffner of the senior team was chief scorer for her squad, while on the opposing team, the honors were almost evenly divided between the two foi-wards, who did some excel lent passing in the course of the game. The centers were kept busy, passing the ball from one end of the court to the other. The two side-centers were re markably quick and accurate in their passing. The game was exciting throughout, but particularly during the last quarter, when the two teams were at their best. The issue of the game was un certain until the final whistle blew giving the victory to the seniors by the close score of 5 to 4. The line-up was as follows: Seniors Forward Shaffner Forwai’d Marx J.

Wednesday evening proved to be a success, and everyone had good time. The recreation roo was decorated with green crepe paper, and along the wall hung three cards bearing drawings of three red-headed Irishmen with dissheveled hair and somewhat lacking in expression and intelli gence. These gentlemen furnish ed the competition for the even-, and prizes were given to those who pinned the small derby nearest the right place on the red heads. Another contest gave others 1 opportunity to show they could do by trying to tell the best Irish joke. There music for dancing; and a great addition was delicious refresh ments of punch, sandwiches, and green mints. . Not only girls came dressed in green, but there were members of the faculty who lost their dignity long enough to become “green” for few minutes. On the whole, the party was a success, and it made those who attended that such things could more often. Next Friday evening, March 26, Mrs. Morris from the Salva tion Army will speak at the regular Y. W. service. J Morris has many and varied periences in connection with her work, and what she brings to the service will be a great store of interesting events and ai tractive personality by which to make others feel a keen interest her work and that of the Salvation Army as a whole. The Y. W. C. A. urges that no miss this opportunity to hear Mrs. Morris on next 'Friday evening. The nominations for next year’s officers of the Y. W. C.

Reports by sections of student government policy were received, and there were also reports, by sections, of personal records. Following the presentation of these re ports, there was a general dis cussion, and the session closed in time for the convention mem bers to attend a program given m their honor, in Memorial Hall. The fact that “college rules and human emotions a posite as the poles” is the op portunity for deans to render tremendous service to their institutions, declared Dr. Rond- thaler in an address at the open ing session Monday evening. The message was a presentation of the mission of the and in developing the theme, he told of an incident hich he witnessed recently. Deel worker, astride a swinging beam 14 stories above ground, was endeavormg to i’mg this beam into place. The motion of his body was the only propelling force, and although the task, to those on the ground, appeared impossible, he achiev ed his object. He was unmind ful, apparently, of the great f.anger in which he worked—his sole interest was in getting the heavy beam into place. The task of the deans is to bring the human emotions together with college rules, he said, and their undertaking is equally as great as that of the steel worker. Courage and patience needed at all times by a dean, to meet each individual girl’s problems with sympathy and understanding, and at the same time with justice and intelli gence, said Dr. Rondthaler. ‘You do not even have Sundays for rest, as others have,” he re minded. “But the work is a joy forever, and the rewards, I be- " !ve, eternal.” The problem of the deans was termed by the speaker as “the insolvable problem,” but he ad- ‘I don’t know how it being done, but we are solving it, just as the steel swung his beam into its right place.” A plea for general physical education for all students, rather than a specializing of attention upon a few who may compose a team, was the theme of Miss Coleman’s address.

The old-time idea of pulleys and other equipment has been superseded by the new- day plan, which is far more valuable and desirable. Championship teams make very good advertising, said Miss Coleman, but the exercise taken by the six, ten or twelve mem- of the team are of little benefit to the hundreds of other students, the majority of whom get their exercise by sitting on benches watching the cham- Physical education teachers should be required to show re sults, just as teachers in any other department, declared the speaker. If a girl comes to school underweight, or her lung ca pacity is •• small, the teacher should be required to show actual result^ of what has been accomplished after a given period. Iiliss Coleman’s definition of physical education was the de velopment of people inwardly, and not the development of big muscles. She declared the im portant thing is to give each North Carolina girl a balanced physical educational program, so that she will be straight-think ing and properly equipped for life.
