Best Wishes New Staff WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1929. Welcome Y. W, Y. M. Conference Delegates To say that the boys and girls of other schools are most heartily wel come to Salem would, strictly speak ing, l)e a trite way of greeting tlieni. Yet. could anyone suggest a better way of expressing the feelings of the student liody toward its guests? Be more specific, perhaps ? Ver_v well, eacli and every girl on this campus, be she an ardent “Y” worker or a member of the associa tion at large feels herself person ally responsible for the well-being and comfort of the conference dele gates. Salem doesn’t want her guests to feel that they are company and must at all time adhere to their company manners. She much pre fers that they enter into the daily routine, try to procure a little of the famous Salem spirit. In other words, she wants them to be home- folks. She is proud of the honor of having them visit her, is glad that her Y.W.C.A. organization was so successful as to secure their prom ise to come, and is glad to help in whatever small way she can, to make them feel at home. Salem campus is a small place compared to many others in the state, but it is filled with peculiar little corners and walks, w'hich are quite an addition to a stranger be coming lost. It happens, however, that most of the loveliest features and most delightful surprises lie obscure corners, so the guests mi not hesitate to explore when and where they see fit or have the desire. Should anyone, by chance, get lost, she or he will probably find a Salem student somewhere in the back ground whom it will be perfectly safe to follow. If all the students should be indoors attending class studying (as they usually are), the lost one may remember, that all roads lead to the dining room, he will only retrace his steps until he reaches the large hall, filled with tables (of course he will have no trouble finding it) he will feel per fectly at ease once more to go in search of other places of beauty. Welcome to Salem campus. Con ference delegates, may your stay here be one of pleasure ! Welcome !

Salemite Returns From Long Cruise The old boat Salemite is not what she used to be. She has been wrecked and tossed about to such a degree that her very survival, no matter what her condition, is truly remarkable. Wearily the weather beaten, flea-bitten old sea-dogs that have manned her hobble down the gang plank, now that Skipper “Dot” Ragan has once again dropped an chor in the old home port. After a strange cruise devoted to divers pur suits, such as pirateering, harpoon ing, exploring, fishing, pearl-diving, snake-shooting, and tjreasurerhunt- ing the crew have just about ex hausted their force. In fact, for the last two or three weeks knowing they were homeward bound they have harkened to the call of the Shad and have succumbed to the caress of the warm sou’- westers and lolling in the tropic sun, have idly east their nets into the sparkling waters, and drawn in many glistening, flapping blue and silver and green fish. Down in the close hot boiler room the involuntary stokers have heaved just enough fuel to keep the ship in gentle motion for the few remaining leagues. During the last week of the cruise the first mate napped at the helm, the quar termaster snoozed in a hammock, the deck-hands shot crap in the fo’eas- tle. And—her white sails full with the kindly zephyrs—the Salemite now drifts lazily into dock.

C., appeared as pianist in a program of marked in terest and variety. Miss Andrews is a pupil of Dean Charles G. Vardell, Jr., whose splendid training and influence reflected in the fine musicianship of this talented young pianist through out the evening. The opening num ber, Bach’s Prelude in B flat from the “Well Tempered Clavichord,” was played with an intelligent un derstanding of this particular style of composition. To the Mozart Fantasia in C minor, which followed. Miss Andrews gave a distinctly teresting interpretation, showing careful preparation to the finest de tails of phrasing and nuance. The Schubert Impromptu in G maji displaying a well controlled balance of tone, brought this group to a Miss Andrews’ second group op ened with the “Harmonies Du Soir,” by Lachulski, in which her playing was decidedly artistic and effective. The playful Karkanoff “Seherzino,” followed this delightful contrast. This group was brought to a close with the brilliant Rhapsody of Dohnanyi, which showed a charm ing abandon of style and a fluent yet forceful technic. The climax of the program reached in the Beethovien Concerto (Continued on Page Four.) Debating Contest In Expanded Chapel Hour interesting Questions Discussed Be- izc'ccn Sophomores and Freshmen The Expanded Chapel service on Wcdnt'sday morning, April 23, was the form of a debating contest be- een members of the Freshman and ;pliomore classes. Tlie question for scussion was: “Resolved, that this dicnce has agreed that higher edu- tion for women sliould be along e same line.'? as higher education Margaret Brennecke, the first speaker on the affirmative, began her ission by an explanation of the term “higher education,” which she mterpreted to mean a study of lib eral arts and not certain specific ;quirements. She then set to prove that the fundamental value and aims ducation for men and women the same. This question, she stated, has been one of utmost in terest to men and women all over the w'orld. The first aim of edu cation is to-ward making better citi- and communities. Educational organizations are aids in the devel- jpment of human beings in society, lot only so they can live better lives but that they can help others. Edu cation of both men and women leads to happiness, whereas ignorance or lack of education leads to fear. Since the ultimate aim of education, she stated, is to help people meet the difficulties of life it is not fair that woman, who lives in the same social and political world as man be kept outside his intellectual world. Elizabeth Marx was the first speaker for the negative side. Edu cation in the broader sense, she said, a preparation for living. Where 2 situation of both men and wom- will be similar educations should be identical. Their situations, how- , are not similar, since the ma jority of women do not enter the professional world. She maintained that an identical system was con trary to the aims of education. The accepted theory of education leads to different training for both sexes, since education is to prepare for living and the lives of women are essentially different from those of men. In spite of the new avenues open to women she will continue to exercise the most influence in the home. In conclusion, the speaker stated that it was doubtful that a woman educated in a man’s college according to man’s curriculum would be prepared to meet the problems of (Continued on Page Four) Salem Invited to Enter Winston Horse Show Winner of Special Salem Feature to Receive Silver Cup Salem College has been invited to enter the first annual spring Win ston-Salem Horse Show, May 17, and 18, to be given under the aus pices of the Woman’s Club.
