I IX) NOT CHOOSE TO RUN!
(Continued From Page Two)
just try them out you’ll soon see
their true colors. Let us take anoth
er graphic illustration of what I
mean. We will again choose from
Sophomore Week. I am laying par
ticular emphasis on Sophomore Week
because, in this time, every freshman
must prove whether she will resist
or succumb to upper authority. Now,
for the illustration—You are
breakfast and a sophomore says
you, “Freshman remain standing i
til everyone else is seated.” By all
means reply, “I shall do
choose.” Then immediately take your
seat when the others do, unless you
prefer taking it sooner. There
declared time for how long you will
remain seated before you rise agjiin
—but for the time being, you will
have upheld your freshmen dignity
admirably.
III Don’t Be Prompt In Class
Work and Class Attendance:
Never hurry through other duties
or pleasures to get to class on time.
If you do, you will only prove
to the instructor that you are
afraid of her or him. Never hasten
—especially to class. If you have
been late twice in one week and the
instructor says to you, “Young lady,
you have already one cut in this class
due to tardiness”. Do not explain
vour lack of promptness to her, and
by all means do not be apologetic;
instead, say, (Raised eyebrows and
narrowed eyes will aid the effective
ness of your statement.) “I am al
lotted a certain number of cuts, I
shall take them as I choose.” There
is no doubt that such freshmen
speeches will some day be placed '
history beside the “Declaration of
Independence.”
Having written work or oral work
prepared on time is another definite
sign to an instructor that you fear
her. Write your themes or papers
—not when the teacher moves
but when the spirit moves you. What
if they are a week late? That is
your own personal affair and if you
will stand your ground when repri
manded for late work, you will find
that no timid and “Freshmen-Fear-
ing” instructor can stand before
your out-pouring of freshman wrath.
IV Don’t Give Up Social Obliga
tions for Academic Duties.
The modern trend is to live as
one wishes. Every freshman should
live her life as she chooses. Don’t
become chained and fettered by
academic duties or regulations. If

30 regardless of what shape
your school work is in and you will
soon find out that it is in no shape
at all.
Attend week-end house parties and
dances when you choose. It’s much
better to be “The Belle of the Ball’
than a “Phi Bete”, especially when
there isn’t a Phi Beta Kappa Chap
ter at Salem. What’s the use.?

In conclusion let me leave
parting word of advice: “If to these
rules you do comply. Oh, Freshman.
Class! Your days at Salem will be
sad and few, Alas! Alas!”
