SALEM REPRESENTATIVES
ATTEND STUDENT
CONFERENCE
■ (Continued From Page One;
Iiai Baptist College, China, discussed
the inadequacies of non-Christian re
ligions. In defining his subject, Dr.
Poteat said that religion to be ade
quate today must have some dynamic
force in a world which is no longer
to; be divided and in which the values
and dangers of any social order can
not be confined in any given geo
graphical areas, it must enable men
to.' discover the highest values not in
wealth, but in human personality,
and it must rediscover man’s touch
with God and enable men to get hold
of: the supreme reality. In the light
of' these demands of the present
world problems, it is difficult for the
Hindu to be passive, for the Budd
hist to be ascetic, for the Confucion-
ist to be urbane, and for the Duanist
to be natural; the only way out of
chaos is through Jesus who looks
into the hearts of men. “Our gospel
must be one fired with a new world-
vision in which all men shall live in
the vast fraternity of the kingdom
of Heaven.”
Dr. Paul Harrison of Arabia pre
sented “Disease in the World as a
Challenge to Christian Students” in
describing the lives of people in
Arabia where the only medical help
is :offered through the missionary and
the mission hospital. He told in a
fascinating way the many interesting
phases of his life among the Arabian
people, and appealed to the young
people to invest their lives not in
places which might be most profit
able from a financial point of view,
but in those places where there is
the greatest opportunity for service
and where they would be needed
most.
The spirit of the conference
throughout Was one of Christian
brotherliness and sympathetic under
standing. All the leaders contributed
to the inspiration and guidance. A
wide range of experience and fields
of activity was represented in the
personnel of the conference, such
as Mr. K. K. Thomas, from India,
Lee Phillip, negro student and poet
from Howard University, Alfredo
Lazareno from the Phillippines, and
Mrs. J. E. K. Aggrey, widow of the
leader of Africa. The challenge of
the addresses was one which could
not be easily forgotten by serious-
minded students, and the clear-sight-
ed and earnest way in which they
wfcre presented gave a new apprecia
tion and understanding of the many
conflicting and iconoclastic trends of
contemporary life.

But these conclusions are becoming
too psychological for my unscientific
mind and, besides, there is a better
reason than all these; Foolish Mo

there must follow, either misery or

CONFESSIONS OF A
REDUCER
In church, or in the theater, in
the gymnasium or in the class' room,
in the wide open air or in the sanc
tity of my own private abode, on
every occasion and as any occurs I
hear the universal phrase, a house
hold phrase, “I’m reducing.” There
is the very conservative person (the
hypocrite) who throws up her hands
in mock disgust and says saccharine-
ly, “Reduce? You’re too thin now.
You shouldn’t reduce.” To herself
she adds, “It’s about time you real
ize how fat you’re getting.” It’s
not impossible that she herself se-
cretely takes reducing exercises.
Why shouldn’t one reduce ? In
the first place, reducing is stylish—
not only the willowy lithe figure, the
finished product, but the actual pro
cess of reducing. Besides, hasn’t
fashion always ruled with an iron
hand her willing victims. To eat
anything besides pickles and potato
chips is quite taboo, and failure to
give up one’s ice cream on Sunday
and Wednesday marks one a social
outcast. When one’s diet is restricted,
one’s pocket-book grows (and what
a blessing that is in these “hard
times.”) Thus socially and financial
ly, reducing scores high honors, but
it’s greatest contribution is the sat
isfaction to one’s own self. Does it
matter whether I’m fat now.^ I’m
reducing. Does the food I refuse
myself cause much suffering? No,
.I’m reducing. Does the soreness
caused by nightly exercises really
count? Of course not; I’m reducing.
I am satisfied that soon my slender
figure will be one worthy of a glori
fication by even Florenz Zeigfield.
Soon I can eat-anything, even choco-
,late e’clairSi without any qualms;
soon I can jump into bed without the
regularly preliminary contortions.
After all, doesn’t all the joy in life
come from looking forward to an at-
'tainable goal? Hence, I’m reducing!
—Dorothy Heidenreich.
■SENIOR DINNER PROVES AN
ELABORATE OCCASION
(Continued From Page One)
from a palm-screened corner. In
the center of the room was a master
ly reproduction of Main Hall, with
the Senior procession descending the
steps, and a huge, beautifully deco
rated cake on the top.
At each place was a black diploma
; tied with a yellow ribbon, thus car
rying out tlie class colors. Upon be
ing unrolled it was found to contain
an itinerary for the evening, for each
guest changed partners and tables
for every course. With the course
came charming favors—paper hats,
tiny bells, firecrackers that exploded
confetti into the air. Throughout
the evening, music was furnished de
lightfully by Misses Elizabeth Mc-
Claugherty, Mary B'. Williams,
E'thelyn Barger, and Mary Ann
Mathewson.
Perhaps it is cruel to print the
menu, but printed it shall be, if for
no other reason than to encourage
the Freshmen to stick out the three
long years. The dinner was served
in seven courses: Strawberry cock
tail; scollops with tartar sauce;
creamed brains in patties, green peas,
pickles and hot biscuit; turkey,
dressing, cranberry sauce, creamed
carrots, creamed potatoes, sweet po
tatoes in shapes, and hot rolls; con
gealed fruit salad and cream cheese,
puffles and salted nuts; shaped ices
on spun sugar and ca)te; coffee,
cheese straws and mints. The huge
cake contained four emblems and
excitement ran high as to the identi
ty of the lucky winners. Ait last
Essie Hendrix proudly waved the
ring on high; Violet Hampton, not
to be outdone, triumphantly display
ed the dime; then Peg Siewers re
luctantly produced the thimble, and
after much detective work, the but
ton was discovered on Jack Shaffner.
Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler have
always held a high place in the heart*
of the Seniors, but the delightful
and elaborate entertainment of last
Thursday has placed them at the
very top.
