Sigma Omkron Alpha
Gives Interesting Debate
Alpha Phi Kappa
Honors New Members
Sigma Omicron Alpha made
first public appearance on the cai
i on Monday evening, Nov. 5,
7 o’clock in the Alice Clewell Cai
pus living room. This club is t
,-oungest of the msny departmental
clubs at Salem and its growth is a
source of interest to a great many
students. At this meeting the fol
lowing question was debated; Re
solved that the past experience of
Alfred E. Smith makes him better
fitted for the presidency than Her
bert Hoover. Those upholding the
affirmative side were Betsy Ross and
Atbena Campourakis. Those
negative were Katherine Schlegel
and Elizabeth Marx.
Betsy Ross, the first speaker, dis
cussed the characteristics of Smith’s
first term as governor of New York
State. The bills and laws introduced
through his wise legislation, she stat
ed, show him to be a capable, well-
balanced, sane executive and one in
every way fitted to be president.
The first speaker for the negative
Katherine Schlegel, stated that
Hoover’s past experience was better
since it was gained through a broad
education and efficient training.
Hoover’s experience gained through
his business career, the speaker
stated, shows his ability as an organ
izer md as a tinaneier, both of
which are essential in a president.
,'Vthena Campourakis was the sec
ond speaker for the affirmative. She
said that the United States needs as
president a man wlio has leadership,
experience and honesty, and that
Smith as Governor of New ork
showed thejse characteristics. She
gave a iiirther account of his accom
plishments during his second and
third terms as governor. His past
experience, she stated, would be a
means of his solving future prob-
he last speaker was Elizabeth
Marx. She began by giving Hoov

N.C.C.P.A. Holds Fall
Meeting at Davidson
Discussions and Social Life Feature
Of Convention
On November the first, second,
and third, the North Carolina Col
legiate Press Association held its
sixteenth semi-annual meeting, at
Davidson College.
The character of the meeting was,
admittedly, more social than ex
tremely business-like; however, there
were reports on the various publica
tions, and recommendations for the
improvement of the organization.
Most of the representatives, when
called upon, announced that their pa
per or annual was “better this year
than ever before.” It seems that
two annual editors had already
ceeded in having all the necessary
pictures taken; wonderful to relate!
A delegate from Carolina cheerfully
declared that the Buccaneer is the
most prosperous publication in
Chapel Hill since through a tactful
edition of “bad, worse, and worst
jokes” that magazine has achieved
such an enviably wide circulation
that it is able to support a couple of
Athletic Association
Takes Charge of Y.P.M.
Juniors^ Win Song Contest
The Wednesday morning chapel
hour was one of entertainment and
great value. The entire program
was in charge of the Athletic Coun
cil. The outstanding feature of this
hour was a song contest between the
four classes. These songs proved
that pep and enthusiasm were by no
means “hidden charms” of Salem
students, for the very walls of Me
morial Hall trembled with the noise.
The judges. Miss Blair, Miss Read,
and Mr. Schofield, after some
cussion, rendered the decision ir
vor of the deserving Junior class,
with the Seniors as "runners up. ‘
Anne Hairston followed this with
an able explanation of the point £
tem in athletics. Miss Atkinson ;
Dot Thompson then appealed to
ery Salem girl to give her utmost
co-operation in the coming basket
ball tournament, even though she
does not expect to wear her class uni-

Pierrettes Present
Delightful Play
“Overtones;’ Directed By Adelaide
Winston
Overtones, by Alice Gerstenberg,
under the direction of Miss Adelaide
Winston, was the play presented
Thursday, November 8, at the meet
ing of the Pierrette Players.
The plot is centered around two
cultured women and their inner,
primitive selves. The characters,
Harriet, a social leader of great
wealth and Margaret, the wife of
an artist, talk in conventional man
ner while all their actions are super
ficial. In contrast to these two there
are Hetty and Maggie, their coun
terparts, who say and do what the
real women are thinking and wish
to do. ...
The effect of cultural and primi
tive selves merging into one woman
was successfully attained by the cos
tuming. The inner selves wore dark,
jealous shades which when covered
by sheer veils gave the same tones
as those used in the dresses of the
two real women.
Much credit is due to Miss Win
ston who splendidly directed
production.
The cast is as follows:
Harriet, a cultured woman—
Mary Elizabeth Weeks
Hetty, her primitive self—
Mary Virginia Pendergraph
Margaret, a cultured woman—
Maggie, her primitive self—

Impressive Y. W.
C. A. Service Held
• Members Are Recognized By
Beautiful Ceremonies
The new members of the Y. W.
C. A. were recognized at a Candle-
Lighting Vesper Service in the li
brary Sunday evening. Numerous
;andles were the only lights in the
great hall.
The program opened with a solo,
I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say,”
by Wilhelmina Wohlford. After the
Scripture had been read, Elizabeth
Roper with Lucy Currie from the
old members of the organization, and
Sara Graves as a member of the ne
pledged themselves to co-operate
every possible way to help carry out
the purpose of the Y. W. C. A.
the campus.
While Lillyan Newell, Elizabeth
Andrews, Margaret Henderson and
Wilhelmina Wohlford sang “Father
of Lights,” Lucy Currie and Sara
Graves lighted the candles that had
been given to the audience. As each
member of the association received
the light, she rose and passed it
to her neighbor.
With the Cabinet leading, the
whole association sang “Follow the
Gleam,” while marching to upper
campus carrying the lighted candles.
There the members of the Y. Cabi
net, dressed in white, made the for
mation of the letter “Y” and around
them the members of the association
formed a triangle. In this way the
service ended.
extra papers and magazines. Per
haps that was all in jest; even so,
the statement was received with ap
preciative guffaws.
There were other struggling liter
ati whose efforts were being thwart
ed by scheming merchants, and
whose publications consequently
could not boast untold wealth. For
their benefit one of the committee
thought of four ways by which the
evils of the increasingly prevalent
Merchants’ Association might be
combatted. Of course it is distress-
for all of the business houses in
ity to co-operate in refusing ads
I paper. In due course of time,
by experimentation, it will have been
discovered which of these proposed
methods is most successful; and then
all long-suffering college newspa
permen (and women!) can derive re
lief therefrom.
Another interesting recommenda
tion was the suggestion that, in the
near future, the N. C. C. P. A. ar
range to meet with the Collegiate
Press Association of Virginia.
Now to regard the social aspect
of the Conference: In truth, every
body had a good time—especially
those who like to feast. It would be
impossible, and also perhaps cruel,
to recount the delicacies consumed—
to the accompaniment of humorous
speeches, sentimental songs, negro
harmonizings, and the numerous —
dial greetings and farewells.
The Davidsonians—and their
Charlotte assistants—were unani
mously proclaimed very gracious and
entertaining hosts. The G. C. girls
will have to look to their laurels
February when it is their turn to
hostesses to the Association.
