ere is just another of life’s little
disappointments. Several fre.shmen
signed up for the “night ride” which
was announced in chapel a few days
ago. They then went to get permis
sion to go “car-riding” with Miss
Atkinson and T.eo Wilder, and found
out that the only ride offered them
that night would be on horseback,
nialf of these freshmen had never
even seen a horse . . .).
In cliapel the other morning, Mr.
Vardell gave a very touching ex
pression of his ever-present S3’mpa-
thy for the students by his most ap
propriate selection of a Prelude and
Postlude entitled “Consolation.”
THE PLAGUE
During the summer it liovered
threateningly over various widely
scattered summer resorts. A few
ictims succumbed. However, the
danger was not appalling since the
menace reappeared from time to
time, and then disappeared almost

A FORWARD STEP
We cannot overestimate the great
advantage of the change in our Stud-
en tGovernment Association activity
this year, which has united the Off-
Campus and On-Campu.s councils.
We of Salem College all bear the
same love for and interest in
Alma Mater and believe that wc
best work for our common benefit
laintaining tlie highest possible
degree of co-operation. The formei
m of two separate and distinct
[■ils worked effectively and well
under able leader.ship, but old stud-
can testify tliat the new admin
istration has brought Student Gov-
ent nearer the creation of a
initiating this latest change,
the Student Mody has knitted itself
more closely together, and
should accomplish more than ever
before. We believe in our Assoeia-
;ion and its ability to better the
■ollege life as a whole and each in
dividual member as well. A new
ar and a new form of government
e before us, and we now, wholly
lited, begin once more our strivings
for tlie highest standards, guided al-
by our watch word, HONOR,
PARAGRAPHICS

This week’s prize example of in
plicit credulity: On Tuesday night
at nine o’clock Miss Stipe’s offii
was crowded to overflowing wil
tremulous freshmen who had asser
bled under the protecting wing of
our Dean for shelter from the hur
ricane (?). Some serious-minded
upperclassman, with a strong mf
ternal instince perhaps, had spread
warning to the effect that there
would be a dreadful eyelom
section of the state promptl;
o’clock, and that everybody would
find refuge in the basement of Alice
Clewell Building—having first an
swered to roll-call in Miss Stipe’s
office ... It was with difficulty
that the Dean suppressed her mirth
and their fears, earnestly assuring,
the young quakers that the hurri
cane had been postponed on account
of .'I class meeting, or something.
We’ve heard that the members of
the Senior Class are erecting a ship
yard wliere they will build College
canoes w Inch they will rent to shop
pers and movie addicts during the
wet season.
Somebody told us that on Novem
ber 2, Dr. Anscombe will assume the
role of “An escaped convict” in the
play, “The Hidden Guest.” Maybe
he will be the liidden guest—who
knows? This ought to be worth
seeing.
Mystery seems to be extremely
popular—For who’s to be Queen of

! OPEN FORUM
h ycan’t we entertain young
callers in the campus living
? I have heard this questi(
asked over and over again since t
opening of school. After all, why
shouldn’t we, because it has r
been done before ? That is no
there is always room for
provement. Girls, think how much
pleasant it would be to
: minus a fashion review going
ery few minutes, or a sv
of pajama-clad femmes playing
peck-a-boo thru the half era
door. The door, instead o facting
as a dam, breaks open and lets
howls and laughter flood the li
room. Why be stingy with our pret
tiest parlor? When I was a tiny
they used to tell me always to give
company the best of everything. A‘
there’s a ])iano in the campus living
room it might be nice to have a little
music sometimes, so that when
have discussed the weather, mutual
acquaintances, the daily routine, and
have gotten down to more serious
business, it would not be overheard
and by the next morning be the fa
vorite topic for bull sessions. Don’t
you think more room is needed? The
front living room is too crowded for
either comfort or privacy. What’s
your opinion on the subject? Let
us hear from you.

had c
For a brief period little was
heard of the plague. There were
practically no .serious eases, with the
result that the youth of the south
returned to tlieir accustomed pur
suits. A spirit of peace and busy
contentment settled once more upon
land. Boys and girls returned
to their respective respectable col
leges, wiiere they resumed their
studies, and their devices for preven
tion or postponement of study. Ev
erything was as usual.
When suddenly without warning
tlie pestilence burst forth again in
all of it.s fury, entirely devastating
the Davidson Scliool for Boys, and
striking terror to the hearts of all
who heard the tragic news. The great
craze for Yo-Yos at Davidson is
one of the most alarming instances
of the ruin which Yo-Yo trails be
hind it. The Yo-Yo is a mild, un-
offen.sive-looking animal which has
a strange and uncanny fascination
for all who come in its path. It
ingeniouslv lures its victim and then
entangle liim hopelessly—hypnotiz-
to control his every
action and thought.
To give an idea of the deplorable
situation at Davidson, we will quote
passage from “The Davidsonian,”
September 2(5, 1929. “It’s mighty
hard to indulge in any form of seri
ous thought on this compus when
you’ve got to keep your eyes ojien for
strav, runaway Yo-Yos. A census
would reveal an average of no h
than three Yo-Yos per square foot
in the dormitories, so it won’t be
long before warnings will be posted
such as ‘Danger! Beware of the Yo-
Yo. Do not stick your head out of
the window.’ A Yo-Yo at rest
tame, servile, little pet, but once
into motion it becomes a beast of
lirey. The nights are made horri
ble‘by the screams of the unfortu
nate victims who have been clonked
on the conk by one (or more) of
these flying juggernauts. Conditions
are rapidly becoming so bad that
you can’t walk down the street with
out being stopped by an addict who
wants to show you a new trick.”
The Yo-Yo has crippled the Da
vidson football team almost irrepar
ably, according to latest reports.
And now the ])lagne has enveloped
Salem College, with one fell swoop.
Yo-Yo takes the place of books, ath
letics, dates, and mail. We pause

MEN
I like men.
They stride about.
They reach in their pockets
And pull things out;
They look important,
Tliey rock on their toes.
They lose all the buttons
Off of their clothes;
They throw away pipes,
They find them again.
Men are queer creatures;
I like men.
—Dorothy E. Reid.
