FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
The N. C, C. 1’, j-ws on record
as favoring freedom from faculty
eens)rshi|) of all T’ollege pulilic.i-
tions, and in this ri solution the asso
ciation asks the support of college
newspapers. l''or the first time in
the existence of this organization
this measure, which it has alwa
favored, is being actcd ujion in
ilefinitc way, which may acconi|)lish
much good. With the conviction th.it
freedom of the ))ress is wise
just, college editors are working for
this principle.
college gives hirth to a puhli
tion for two reasons; that it ii
serve as an outlet for literjiry talent
and that it may he a medium of
pressing student o|)inion. It is
the place for faculty criticism, which
is a hindrance to the free expre>
of student ideas. Censorship is al
ways restricting. When every article
for a newsi)apcr. or annual, or a
magazine must pass beneath the
scrutiny of a fjiculty advisor, the
publication ceases to Ixdong to the
students, and it loses some of the
youthful flavor which makes it indi
vidual. college senior who is
thought by the student body worthy
of being elected editor must surelv
have the judgment to tell what
should or should not go to the press
Th- Salrmile is one of the few
publications in girls’ colleges which
has no faculty advisor. For that
reason this paper champions the
cause of other publications which do
not enjoy this freedom.
SUFFRAGETTES

ideas of cjcetioiis, |)resick‘ntial

his condemnation was jnstiv de

Only a few years ago our rnoth-

siifi'rage is an established fact, are
we going to disregard their strug
gle by abusing the franchise Xot
all of us have as yet reached the
so-called age of discretion. But
when We are twenty-one. ai'e we
going to vote? We will have to
abide by the results of the elec
tion; is it not the height of dis
loyalty and does it not show’ an
utter laek of patriotism not to con
tribute that one service of voting?
Insignificant though it may ap-

STUDY ON SUNDAY?
Why not study on .Sunday? W(
■ither have to do this, or sit up in oui
•ooms and stare at four walls while
lots of valuable time is wasted A
preacher I once knew took all of the
kids in his neighborhood swimming
or riding each .Sunday afternoon, and
on being asked how he could violate
the Lord’s day in such a manner, rc-
j)lied, “I had rather have the chil
dren under my eyes so I can sec
that they have wholesome pleasure
than to have them getting in groups
and planning mischief as they are
apt to do when there is no other
amusement to divert their minds.
The lady gave no reply to this dec
laration. hut the following wcc-k .she
was seen with her car laden with
children on the way to the swimming
Of course college girls should Ik‘
old enough not to get into childish
mischief, but still there are times
when one aches for some thing to
do. We have got to have some thing
to keep our minds diverted from
home and all the friends we’d like
to see. and as a result we study. Can
the teachers complain? Are we in
juring ourselves? It’s all a matter
of our own conscience and eoncei)tion
of the .Sabbath.
SUNDAY STUDY
If the i)ower lay in my hands, I
would have a law enforced without
further delay, as to studying lessons
on Sunday. Studying on this, the
Lord’s day, is exactly as much of a
violation of the Sabhoth as if a per
son opened a shooting gallerv in the
pulpit o f C-ntenary .Methodist
Ch\ireb 1 If studying isn’t work,
what is it? If the I.ord had wanted
us to work, would he have said in
the second chapter of Gene.sis, the

LEAF BURNING
I swept the f.jllen leaves up yes-
.And touched them with slow fire;
.\nd as 1 saw smoke rise and drift
I knew a keen desire.
To sweep my mind of old things ly-
Dreams long siriee dead ....
Hopes that have clung like leaves on
boughs now bare,
.\nd tears that I have shed ....
I longed to gather every little grief
I.eft scattered round.
Small doubts and fears and lay them
Of fire, smoke crowned;
Then stir the endiers so a laughing
wind
■Might lift the ashes of old praise (
blame.
.\nd bear them far away, leaving n
Clean as if swei>t by flame.

ABOUT SALARIES—?
To think that anyone would eve
insider the thoughts of a salary i
connection with the work given to the
Salemite is absurd! It i.s indeed
honor and a pleasure to .serve on
staff of the Salemite, and the whole
staff is glad to give any .help they
without being paid for it. If we
love our school and want it to have
the best things w-e can give it, th
way by which we are capable of
showing our interest and love. A
person who is bribed to do everv-
thing in the world never gets any-
■e, and w'hat is this other than
bribery ? Dismiss at onee the que
of salaries and rely on the pres-
Salemite staff to give the liest
that’s in them gladly and freely!

A QUESTION TO DISTURB
A ROVING MIND
A question to disturb a roving mind:
\\'hat would I find
If I should climb upon a little chair,
Then somehow gain the roof
Of my small cottage,
■\nd from there
.Should hoist myself into a nearbv
If I should dare
'I'o ri.sk mv luck again
To find a'place
.Vtoj) a stec])le, towering in the sky.
From which one mighty, death de
fying leap
W'ould set me on a mountain,
Uj) so high
That nothing would be over me but
The question is rc])eated in my mind
What would I find?
Perhaps the goal of Fame’s steep
thoroughfare
Is but the filmy skv,
.\n endless pinacle, perhaps, of pale
Who knows; The top mav be a ret
ing place
h'rom which to downward stare
■At tiuy-people ]>laying on a heap
Of jumbled vegetables and rocks and
Howe’er that be.
The question still unanswered ir
What would I find?
iTHE FASHION PLATE!
(JAY ACCKSSORIKS
_ ’essories are on the up
M ind up probably to aid the
iy pocket-books this fall. Al
though everyone is
iiy new clothes, old frocks
may he changed by the ad
dition of stylish trifles that give
character to a costume.
Coming to the aid of the pocket-
book are shoes, gloves, and belts to
match. With brown costumes, shoes,
nd bags of aligator trimmed in shiny

ments in odd shapes or merely fash-
o buttons and clasps arc
used for bags and belts. Bright
metal decorations add a stylish noti
that is very effective with eithe
brown, black or wine. Black suedi
pull-on gloves, oxfords, and bag an
with street clothes. For eve
wear fans, bags, gloves ant
scarfs are of velvet. Velvet shoe,
ith toe decorations ii
metalized kid.
One of the smartest fads for sport
L‘ar is the use of corduroy. Both
bags and gloves arc made of the
wide-wale material. F'or rainy days,
the corduroy gloves are rain proofed
and the palm made of kid matching
'olor of the material,
ntlope bags are used for day
service. Suede, felt, tweed or
fancy wool fabrics, and calf or rep
tile skins are used for the new bags
Black felt stitched with white ti
form a ]>laid effect makes an attrac
tive bag. .Metals are made into queer
shapes for bag-motifs, and one enve-
lo])c |)urse has a dull metal band and
buckle to match the belts on the new
It is certainly a good thing that
there are no Greek houses on Broad
way. If there w'ere, there would be
many more accidents than there are
now. If you will remember, the
Greek houses were built right at
the edge of the street and the main
door .opened outward instead of in-
w’ard. This meant that any one go
ing out of the house had to knock on
the inside of the door, so that the
people in the street could get out of
the way to keep from being knocked
down, (iueer world we are living

Look around and find the most ur
bane person on the campus. She’s
obscure, but you’ll find her after a
bit of searching.
Some of us might do well to write
home in French, Spanish, Greek,
Latin, or whatever our burden might
be. tUcero’s son used this method to
))rove to his parents that he was be
ing i^lucated.
.Miss At is causing quite a sensa
tion on the campus with h»r sore
foot. The other day a visitor on the
campus approached a student and
asked, ‘‘Who in the world is that
decrepit individual?” The student
answered, “I’ll admit she’s individual
but I hope she’ll soon get over her
decrepitness.”

suits. Tortoise shell, since it blends
well with autumn greens and browns,
is used on some of the finest bags.
.Safety-pins of a new type have
stepped into .style. They are made
of cut steel, copper, black metal or
coin-silver into odd, striking shapes,
such as Greek keys, sailor knots, or
made with octagon shaped ends.
These are used to pin felt bets to
gether. One design uses a four-inch
nickel safety-pin to gather a velvet
turban smartly in place.
Another striking metal decoration
is used by a noted designer to lace
frocks with silk cords. The laces are
passed through cojiper disks and the
nds tipped with copper. Be stylish

metal ornaments to your costume.
