Musical Program In
Y. W. C. A. Vespers
y/usic Facult;! Gives Most Delight-
ful Program
The Junior class in charge of Y.
\V. Vespers last Sunday evening,
gave one of the most interesting
programs of the year. It consisted
of special musical numbers by mem
bers of tlie music faculty. After a
sliort devotional Mr. Schofield sang:
“.Vow the Day is Over,” with music
by Oley Speaks. Mary Brewer then
read a selection from Shakespeare,
followed by a harp solo, “Largo,”
from “Xerxes,” played by Miss
Sehaffner and Gounod’s “Ave Ma
ria,” played by Miss Reed.
Sigma Omicron Alpha
Debates At Meeting
The Sigma Omicron Alpha held
its monthly meeting January 15,
1929, at 7:00 in the campus living
room. Mary Brewer gave a report
from the committee for interclass
debates, stating that the President
of the college, and the Presidents of
the classes favored this plan,
was decided that the. same commit
tee handle the details of the plan.
A humorous imprmptu debate was
called for, the opponents being Beu
lah M. Zachary, negative, and Doris
Kimel, affirmative. The question for
debate was: Resolved that a centi
pede with corns is worse off than a
giraffe with sore throat. The judges’
decision proved the affirmative side.
The President of the club then
stated the subject for the monthly
debate: Resolved that this audience
■grebes that students, making a suf-
.■ient high grade in a course,
hoiild not be required to take an
examination in that course. The
affirmative was upheld by Mii
Orace Martin and Margaret Bren-
necker, while the negative v/as plead
by Misses Edna I.indsey and Cath
erine MeCallie.
The points for the affirmative were
numerous. Some are as follows
The promise of exemption from ex
aminations will be an incentive foi
more concentrated study. This will
come because of a promise of ex
emption from the drudgery of exam
study and this exemption will cause
more sincere and better prepared
daily work.
The student threatened with ex-
iiinations thinks it is foolish to
study all along, when a few hours
of concentrated study, (commonly
known as cramming) will pass him
an the course. If there is a goal,
it has been proved, the student will
do better work. So, no-exams is a
good goal.
Cramming may pull a student
through an examination, but when
tlie nervous tension is over he will
forget much that he has learned
during this time of'Strain.
The purpose of exams is to prove
the knowledge and capacity of a
student. Then if a student has
good grades, that student lias proved
that he knows his work well enough.
examinations, for him, are
quite unnecessary and are without
Then the negative side was ac
claimed with these points: Examina
tions measure progress, for they
give tlie student a good sounding as
his weak points for they lielp him

Count Luckner Will
Lecture Tuesday Night
mg I
Luckner will lecture on
Tuesday night, January 22nd, in
Memorial Hall, and will tell his own
story of the sea raids during the
World War, which he conducted
upon allied mercliantmen without
the loss of a single life.
This is not a story of submarine
torpedoing, but the extraordinary
narrative of a twentieth century
type of World War Pirate, who
transformed a small and almost de
fenseless sailing vessel into a sea
raider of mercliant marine only, not
of passenger bearing ships, and
scoured the Atlantic over thousands
of miles successfully “liolding up”
allied merchantmen.
This story lias been received with
the utmost enthusiasm by enormous
audiences all over the United States.
Count I.uekner has been honored in
a signal manner by the American
Legion as a brave and fearless, but
thoroughly humane Commander, la
boring with remarkable results un
der unparalleled handicaps and
performing deeds appropriate to two
centuries ago upon the high seas.
Count Luckner, though of German
ancestry, has lived all over the
world, and has spent much time in
his early life in America, so that
his command of English speech is
such as to make his lecture thorough
ly enjoyable to an English speak
ing audience.
This lecture is being given com
plimentary to the students of Salem
College and Salem Academy, and
to the citizens of Winston-Salem
who may have been unable to attend
the lecture, which is to he given that
morning in tlu' Reynolds .Memorial
Auditorium.

Miss Dozier chose as her subject,

she carried in her hand and by the
aid of it, step by step, forced her
way up the ladder of success, until
finally she arrived at the top of it,
at the goal which every one seeks.

months, but to her surprise,

Floating University
Is Now In Japai
According to radio dispatches re
ceived in New York, a musical
comedy, “Floating Around,” has
just been successfully presented by
students of the Floating University
before an audience of students of
Doshisha University in Kyoto, Jap
an, who enjoyed it hugely. It is a
burlesque on student life aboard the
Floating University. The music and
lyrics were written by two under
graduates, George Buzza, Jr., and
Ayres Compton, who also directed
its production. It has a cast of
tliirty, including an attractive chorus
of singing and dancing girls. It is
to be presented before various other
student groups in Asia and in Eu-
A debating team has just been

anese theatres, and scouring around
for costumes and accessories in fas
cinating little Kyoto and Tokyo
shops.

Pierrette Players
To Enter Contest
On Thursday, January 18, at a
meeting of the Pierrette Players,
the club was entertained by Miss
Grace Martin who read Romance, a
three-act play by Edward Shelton.
The story, most dramatic and ap
pealing, tells of the love of a Bishop
for a notorious opera singer. Be
cause of Miss Martin’s excellent
portrayal of the characters, she
brought to life each person in the
play.
The most important business dis
cussed at the meeting was the en
trance of a play by the club mem
bers in the intercollegiate play con
test to be held this spring at the
University of North Carolina. The
club authorized the program com
mittee to select a suitable play and
to register it in the contest.
