REPORTERS and offering consolation. The easiest thing to do i.s to allow ourselves to be engulfed in waves of self-pity, to submit tamely and indulge in the luxury of being miserable. That is indeed a luxury, for it is unneces sary to the healthy, busy human be ing, who refuses to set aside for himself the most important place in the universe. When those fits of “blues” and of unreasonable depression descend upon us, it is a great help to anal yze the situation and to try to see the funny side. Laughter clears the O'' and distracts the mind to other, ■e important things ^than our selves. After all, we are not the center of the universe, and our mis fortunes cannot mean a great deal to the rest of mankind. Then why spend the day moping, since we alone are wretched. It is much more sensible to laugh at our own foolish sulks, and to turn our thoughts to )me really profitable occupation. HOW FRIENDLY ARE YOU? THE SALE MIT E the guilty. Originality of mind, independence of spirit, individuality of personal ity are by no means to be sup pressed. They are qualities of which the world has an everlasting want, and are rather to be encourag ed. They are not, moreover, incom patible with conformity to successful group life. Individualism on the other hand, which tends to upset the rules governing the majority is the deadly enemy of co-operation and harmonious adjustment to commun life. OPEN FORUM Laila Wright, Athena Campoura Something to Think About In men U'hom men condemn as ill I find so much of goodness still. In men whom men pronounce I find so much of sin and blot I do not dare to draw a line Between the two. Where God has not. —Joaquin Miller. PARAGRAPHICS the happ;, said Emerson. Some “Manners doing things, ajiuciaun people certainly do have a mi able time going through college. Do the noises in which third floor indulges “after lights” still retain their equestrian character, or h they become more humane with spect to the sleepers on second and first floors } Picnics are in vogue for all the clubs, this season. The only one not participating seems to be' the MacDowell Club. Lindbergh’s extensive program while in Winston-Salem should cer tainly have provided for a personal introduction to every Salem girl. It is possible that he did not even realize what he was missing. Those who attended the Y. W. C. . Vesper services last Sunday heard a very interesting talk by Miss Ruby Clodfelter. In her talk Miss Clodfelter brought out the fact that the relations between in dustrial girls and college girls are much more amiable than in previ- years, even though both groups — distinct and entirely separate. She showed how, by becoming ac quainted with an industrial girl, a college student would discover tal- oTifo and good qualities that she r knew to have existed in this girl. This is also true of our life on the campus. We are all aware of the fact that there are several distinct groups on the campus, and each, to a certain degree, considers that it is a world unto itself. The girls in each crowd are perfectly contented with themselves. They never seem to realize that there are other girls in school who are just as good sports, just as brilliant, and just as “cute,” if that be one of the requirements, as their own select group. If you would try to make acquaintance with the girls you -—et on the campus and in the dormitories, you would find that many of them whom you have con sidered as unsociable, and uninter esting are quite friendly and soci able, and will meet you half way. Remember that you are not capable of judging a person unless you know that person well. Do not judge girls too quickly, do not make hasty remarks—and remember, the per- ■ 1 you are criticizing may be just fine and just as good as you : if ybui would only take the trouble to find out. ‘And ws who would serve the king And loyally him obev, In the consecrate silence know That the challenge still holds to day.” In recalling the words of the most inspiring of all songs, “Follow the Gleam,” let us consider the ''last ‘That the challenge still holds today.” Within that one line is our whole duty to our Y. W. C. A.; and ame challenge comes to each __ today, because, we, as a stud ent body, are members of the Young Women’s Christian Association. To day’s challenge which speaks in your heart and in mine, is “Am I supporting my Y. W- C. A..?” One of the best ways to show ou loyalty to the Y. w”. C. A. is t( attend the Vesper services on Sun day evenings. The programs an varied and interesting; and, in ad dition, they give us some thoughts, and ideas, which are worthwhile, and which may contribute with benefit to our daily life in its asso ciation and friendships. If we do “it attend, we are missing a part our college education. The Y. W. C. A. Vesper services e not held for the “Y” Cabinet, ir even for a selected few; they e held for the members of the association. That means YOU. Announcements | Our idea of an optimist is me freshman who calmly walks up town without a chaperone on Mon day afternoon in the hopes that she will not meet a member of the Student Council. A SAVING SENSE OF HUMOR Everybody enjoys being in the company of the man who is noted for his keen sense of humor. He sees humor in every situation and in every personality which enables him to laugh, even in life’s darkest moments, laughter which may at times be tinged with bitterness, but which nevertheless is a relief. It is not very difficult to laugh other people’s misfortunes, especial ly if they have elements of comedy, The most difficult thing for the man ■ who prides himself on his sense of humor, is to laugh at himself. Therein lies the test of the true hu- morist._ “To see oursel’s as ithers see us,’ and therefore to appreciate and share in their amusement at our own comic errors, without resent ment and without bitterness, is a gift which adds interest and zest to the art of living. A still great gift is to be able to laugh at ourselves whertre ^e cla'ss VwScT th"'’”” the world is pitying our misfo.H.J:!!. iMocent lisfortunes Individualism Versus Co-operation Originality is a virtue; excessive individualism is decidedly a fault. In tile college community of which we are each members, self-interest, personal desires and inclinations hav to be daily—we might say hour ly—sacrificed in order that the wel fare and happiness of the group may be advanced. We must develop the group consciousness and the ability to act in accordance with the stan dards, aims and rules of the group, in order to fit successfully into the scheme of things, and to live har moniously in our little college world. College has no place for the ego- —it, he who imagines himself the center of the universe for whom all things were made, and who express es his feeling of superiority in de fiance against needful restrictions and in independence of action. Con formity to rules which contribute to the common good is one of the first lessons to be mastered by one who desires to live peacably 'with his fellowman. All freedom is effected through conformity to fundamental laws based upon the recognition of the rights of others. The girl who ruthlessly disregards the wise and carefully planned restrictions guard ing her behavior in college, soon finds to her sorrow that she forfeits that measure of freedom which she formerly enjoyed, and brings dis tress upon herself and her associ ates. The thoughtless and rebel lious acts of a very few members of class place a stigma upon the The first college swimming meet of the year will be held on Saturday afternoon, October 15, at .3:45. There will be competition between classes, and each class is expected to have a team. Rose Frazier, head of swimming, has donated a silver loving cup which will be giv en to the winning team. There will be a song contest aft- the swimming meet on upper back campus. Each class will compete for a prize to be given for the best original class song. After the con- ‘^'^st, a picnic supper will be served. The first hike of the season will take place on Saturday afternoon, October 15. All those interested are asked to assemble on the back porch of Main Hall by 4 o’clock. On Monday morning, October 10:30, Edward Markham, duc ^Jet, is lecturing at the Reynolds Memorial Auditorium. College stud ents who can, and would like to at tend are asked to hand their names to Miss Blair. Transportation will be provided. On Wednesday, October 19, at the Expanded Chapel hour. Profes sor Greer, a former pupil of Alonzo Smith at State University, will en tertain the students with some of his collection of North Carolina folk songs and ballads. In the past few years Professor Greer has gathered 225 gems. Mrs. Greer is accom panying him on the “dulcima,” an old musical instrument of the moun tains. This will be a very realistic interpretation of music of the moun tain people.
