Something to Think
About
In the service of mankind to
be
A guardian god below; still to
employ
The mind’s brave ardor in he-
Such as may raise us o’er the
grovelling herd
And make us shine forever-v-
tliat is life.
—Thomson.
onsider the wider
field of world-interest as compared
with college interest, that we re
how our tliinkin^ may be narrowed
down and concentrated upon affair:
of immediate importance to the ex
elusion of affairs which touch u:
more remotely now but with which
we will some day come in contact.
There seems to be more of this
narrowed viewpoint in women’s col
leges than in men’s colleges. Some
of the larger colleges reveal through
their publications that their stud
ents actually discuss such matters
national and international politi
economic^ sociologic and current :
ligious questions. To take a c(
Crete example: many students t
showing a keen interest in the me
ings of national conventions, by ca
ing a straw vote to determine to their
satisfaction who will receive
presidential nomination from
party. In many cases, the result
of the straw vote is the same as that
of the real vote.
We need to gain some enthusi
for activities outside of the college
campus. We need, not only to
think of these things, but to discuss
them and to form some sort of i
elusions about them. They may
be of vital importance to us r
but they will be at some future time,
and a serious interest now will pre
pare us somewhat for an active in
terest later.

“It Never Can Happen

PARAGRAPHICS
We have all helped to clean up the
campus. Now let us keep it clean!

The Student Friendship drive
closes on, Saturday, March 10. Can
any one afford to miss the oppor
tunity of being identified with this
movement? It is world-wide and
wOrth-while. Let us all do our part.

has fun, pep and exercise? Come

and Wednesday of next week, and

THE WIDE AND NARROW
VISION
■'There are tho.se who wonder, and
perhaps rightly, whether the colle
giate youth of today is bothering it
self about questions of national or
international importance; whether
its vision is restricted to the limited
horizon of college life, or whether
that vision goes beyond and compre
hends that there are greater prob
lems than those which students have
Without a doubt, there is no lack
of interest in affairs on the campus,
and interest of this sort is always
increasing and improving in its
practical results. Of course, there
are times when students have to be
particularly urged to take part in
this activity or that; but we who
have been at Salem for four years,
realize that in affairs which affect
the entire student body, the increase
of active interest has been quite evi
dent, and a corresponding improve
ment in group-effort has been notice
able.
With these things before our
eyes every day, we cannot help being
identified with them in some way.
During the past month or n
Salem College has not been putting
its best foot forward, as far as ap
pearance is concerned. It has not
taken very keen faculties of obser
vation for most people, students,
faculty, and otherwise, to realize
that tliere arc those who for some
reason or other have been unable to
find the garbage cans which are
quite liberally and conspicuouslj’
scattered about the campus. These
afflicted ones—who must be akin
bats—have found no place to de
posit such decorative articles
sandwich and candy wrappers, paper
cups, boxes and spoiled fruit except
the campus. If it were desired to
stage an exhibition of every
ceivable kind of rubbish, no i
effective plan could have been adopt
ed. However, a few fastidious
dividuals—perhaps they have
usual sensibilities—objected to this
wholesale advertisement of the num
ber of drinks, hershey bars, sticks
of chewing gum and other necessi
ties which are daily and hourly con
sumed by Salem girls.
Having decided that grass is more
attractive without paper trimming,
several students conceived of an
idea by which the chief offenders
might be made to clean up at least
a part of their ornamental offerings.
True, the more conscientious were
also invited to help, but since most
of them had been doing that of their
own accord, no protest was antici
pated. There was none.
At a bright and early hour on the
eventful morning of Tuesday, March
6, a strange phenomenon was ob-
ed. At 8:13, the campus wore
—now almost customary—air
of aggrieved disorderliness. At 9:00
o’clock all trash had disappeared.
By magic? No. There was no
magic about it. It merely happened
thus. Two hundred girls—not to
ipeak of Dr. Kondthaler, who renr
dered valuable assistance—went out,
■h having been assigned with her
class to one special section of the
campus. When her section was in
order, her work was done. And
presto! In a trice ! As if by magic,
not by magic, Salem campus
again wore her proud, dignified and
rightful air of conscious order and
beauty.
Notice to N. C.
Teachers
The North Carolina Educational
Association meets in Raleigh on
March 22, 23, 2i. The French sec
tion, of which Dr. Juanita H. Floyd
chairman, will meet on Friday
morning, March 23. A very inter
esting program, which includes some
of the most outstanding French in
structors in the State of North
Carolina, has been arranged. Dr.
Floyd extends a cordial invitation to
all teachers and former teachers of
French in the State.
OPEN FORUM
Praise be! At last some student
has waked up enough to ask a ques
tion about her own college sports
program !
All those who have been interested
in athletics and following sports
all, very probably know that swi
ming is being tried as a major sport
for this year. Also, every student
nmst realize that a university has
only three major sports, and in
of tills fact, how could a college of
300 girls support more than three
major sports? Swimming as a
jor sport is temporarily taking the
place of hockey for this year. The
question of what will be the third
major sport for next year is yet to
be decided.
For the benefit of those who have
not been out for soccer, we should
like to explain that soccer has the
same object of the game, the same
number of players and the same
positions as hockey. The chief dif
ference is that the former is played
wit!> a large ball while the latter is
pl.'iyed with sticks and a small ball.
cr can be coached as a “team-
game,” while hockey requires indi-
•idual coaching and instruction.
In the past three years it has been
observed by more than one person
that the students are certainly lax in
their enthusiasm for sports. For
instance: the only time when four
full teams were out on the field
the day of the final games; and s
of these girls had not been out
single practice. This is exactly the
state of affairs in our athletics here
at Salem. What are we going to do
about it? Poor athletics are nol
•holly due to an uninteresting ath
letic program. Some of the blame
should justly be placed on the lack
of interest, lack of pep and utter
assiveness of the students.
If we want Salem to take her
ightful place in athletics, we si
be compelled to support our athh
program heartily and willingly. A
few girls who are prejudiced against
iport can make that sport a total
lure. Why not really learn how
to play a game before we condemn
merits or make up our minds tli
will not “enjoy” it?

Athletic Association.

of Hockey Association, Pres
ent Head of Soccer.
