Saturday, February 28, 1931.
Ruth Carter Entertains
Latin Sorority
Constitution of Alpha Iota
Pi Adopted
The February meeting of Alpha
Iota Pi, Salem’s newest club,
held at the home of its President,
Ruth Carter, the evening of Monday,
February 23. About ten members, of
the organization, together with Miss
es Minnie J. Smith and' Lessie
Brown Phillips, attended the meet
ing.
The constitution, which had been
drawn up by the constitutional
mittee, was presented, and adopted,
after a few slight changes had been
made. Then new members were voted
upon, and it was decided to extend
invitations to members of, the Greek
Class. It was decided that Sopho
mores should be taken in the club at
the last meeting of the y
that new officers should be elected
Elizabeth Marx, as chairman of
the program committee reported that
the March meeting of the club would
be an entertainment social hour for
the lower class Latin students; she
ailso reported that Dr. Rondthaler
would talk at the April meeting, and
a picnie including the new members
would take the place of the May
meeting. After the President ap
pointed several committees, the social
hour began.
Julia Mears gave an entertaining
report on Roman festivals during
February. Latin cross-word puzzles,
contests, and Latin anagrams con
stituted the social hour until the
hostess served delicious ambrosia,
angel-food cake and salted peanuts.
The red, white and blue favors car
ried out the idea of George Washing
ton’s birthday. The girls reluctantly
departed at about ten-thirty.
This new Latin Club is a
ganization for which there has long
been a need on Salem Campi

The following sentence from the
constitution shows that the organi
zation is extremely worth-while.
“The purpose of this organization
shall be to foster an interest
tin and Greek among the student
body of Salem College and to dra-\
the student of Latin and Greek to
gether in a deeper appreciation of
the classics.”

French Club Meeting
Of Great Interest
Unusual Dramatic Interprata-
tion of Love Scenes Fea
ture on Progiam
On Wednesday, February 25, the
members of the French Club were
treated to a decidedly educative pro
gram. It consisted in the portrayal
of love scenes from the French. Our
ideas of continental- techniqi
greatly uplifted owing to the finesse
of the actors. The scenes were from
Une Quejstion d’Argent and L’Ab'be
Constantin. Those who took part
the former were Miles. Ruth Maif
Eleanor Idol and Mary Norris. The
performers of the latter were Mile.
Mary Alice Beaman and Mile. Mary
Louise Mickey.
After a pause for excellent re
freshments, the meeting was contin
ued with a game called heart-dice,
“des de coeur” pour vous Francaises.
Mile. Ruth Maier carried off the
honors and was rewarded with
Imge candy stick. The meeting w
brought to a successful close by the
ringing of the dinner bell.
Richard Wagner had courage to
ask his audiences to come
nings in succession to hear “Der
Ring des Nibelunger,” to see “Back
to| Metruselah.”! George Bernard
Shaw at first asked his audiences to
come five evenings. Though Eugene
O’Neill does not go so far, he has
written a play which will require
evenings for complete performance.
Neither the subject nor the title
of tlie new play is known. The New
York Theatre Guild which will pro
duce it next season, is undecided
whether it will be presented on
successive nights or in cycles. O’Neill
has said that the project is by far
; difficult and ambitious he
undertaken and that
develop to the fullest the technique
he has used in other works,
the three evenings will probably be
three red letter evenings.
By the terms of the compromi
measure passed by Congress and
igned by the President on February
■i, $120,000,000 becomes available
for farm rehabilitation in the drought
areas of twenty states. A part of this
just how large a part is nol
clear, will be used for loans to farm-
s for the purchase of food.
Echoes of the Russian observance
“International Unemployment
Day” moving westward with the
the World Wednesday brought
scattered demonstrations and disor
ders to Europe and North America.
Three were killed in Leipsic and lists
of injured grew.
Trade Union leader Lozovsky
said; “It is estimated that more than
30,000,000 are without work
captalist states while in the U. S.
S. R. there is no unemployment.”
Agitators took up the cry. Speeches,
banners, songs and parades, resulted
in battles and rioting in a dozen
European countries and many di
turbanccs west of the Atlantic.
English and German instead of
French will be taught in the Turkish
public schools, if the proposals of
certain reformers go through. The
change is ascribed to the belief that
for a country wishing to enter Wes
tern civilization, Anglo-Saxon sys
tems of education are far preferable,
because they are characterized by
creative power.
The Turkish Government has made
the teaching of the two languages
ipulsory in all public schools and
reported to be about to engage
teachers in England and Germany.
Perhaps the cresent moon smiles in
doubt
being told that it is a fragment
awaiting perfection.
WORLD CHRISTIAN FED
ERATION OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE TO
STUDENTS
Do you know what tiie world’
Student Christian Federation is.? I
you do not, your knowledge of in
ternational relations between Chris
tian groups is not at all complete.
If you do know, you are a little
wiser than the average college stu
dent. Would you like to know mori
about this great student federation
The Federation was founded ii
1895. In that year there met ii
Vadstena, Sweden, the leaders of
national movements which have
grown up independent of each other
in six countries, the United States
eluded. By the grouping together
of movements the foundations of the
Federation lyere laid, and today,
afttv thirty six years the Federation
is composed of twenty-three nation
al movements. Its motto is “Ut
Omnes Unum Sint,” or in English,
“That All May Be One.” This is
taken from John 17:21 which reads,
“That they may all be one; even as
Thou, Father, art in me, and I in
Thee, that they also may be in us;
that the world may believe that Thou
didst send me.”
Perhaps the Federation would
concern students more than any
other class of people. In the coun
tries of Eastern Europe and other
parts of the world education is hav
ing a hard struggle for a beneficial
existence . Since the Student Chris
tian Federation is inter-denomina
tional, enteracial and international
has been able to help students in
Russia, Bulgaria, Roumania, India,
and Asia. The appalling
need of studerlts in Central and
Eastern Europe after the war, led
the F'ederatioii to organize a com
mittee called European Student Re
lief, which summoned students the
world over, to strenuous united effort
behalf of the homeless, sick and
starving students of Europe. There
speedy response from stu
dents of thirty-seven countries and
committee helped immediate
needs and started students along the
road of self-help.
How would you like to be a part
of this great internatioil[al mo)ve^
ment? You do not have to sign a
card or pledge yourself to the (
ganization, but you can become
part of it in spirit by maintaining
a tolerant attitude towards students
of all other nations.

Dance.”
Another hit of the current season
