Saturday, December 14, 1933. THE SALEMITE Page Three. NATIONAL STUDENT GROUP MEETS IN NEW ORLEANS to the Medical Building of Tulane University where Sally Reed, of So phie Newcombe lead a discussion of Student Government in Women’s Colleges. They decided that pun ishments should be made construc tive rather than destructive. Those students who behave vitally in dis cord with college rules were inadap- table to the environment and should be treated psjchologically. Judg ing from standards set by other col leges, Salem seems to be among the most progressive. Following this meeting Mrs. John Pratt, National Junior League President, lectured on the position occupied by women in the future. Following these meet ings a sightseeing tour of New Or leans was conducted for the stud ents. The after-dinner speaker was Rabbi Benstack of New Orleans, who compared the Russian and American student. He said that the Rah-Rah type of student was rap idly becoming obsolete and that students as a whole were gradually becoming more like the European students—more serious, informed, and interested in the great economic issues of the era. The world, he said, needed maturity and mature thinking, but it could not do with, out the physical strength and cour age of youth. His address was fol lowed by a short word of greeting by a student from Mexico City, a delegate from the Hispanic Feder ation of Students. At the publication meeting held at Sophie Newcombe College the fol lowing morning, it was resolved that student publications should sponsor an open forum column and a column featuring student activities in other colleges. After the meeting the dele gates visited the Tulane medical mu seum and the early American Mu- That evening the representatives from the woman’s colleges met and discussed orientation, self-help prob lems, and social activities. Vassar is drawing up a plan for co-operative work. Wellesley and Mills already have co-operative houses. At Mt. Holyoke the students live under a community type of government rath er than a proctorial form. Saturday afternoon at the final session the delegates cleared up old business, elected the next place for the convention, Amrican University, in Washington, D. C., and elected the officers. They are: President, John Lang, Carolina; Vice-Presi- dent, Elizabeth Reed, Vassar; Sec retary and Treasurer, Gerrard Dav idson, Tulane. ' The convention came to a brilliant close with a formal banquet and a New Year’s dance. FACULTY EXPLORE LOWER REGIONS ON TOU they drift along slowly, dramatical ly, down the River Styx. Singing, yes, the “Noble” Pluto demands music round his River Styx and ren ders his own kingly theme song at every opportunity. But in the midst of all this gaiety and laughter (the latter caused by Pluto’s vocal attempts, due to the fact that he was never a correspon dence student at Salem, or any oth er music school) in the midst of it a horrible murder is committed! Horrible.? Even to the grotesque! Committed? Yes, catch on.? Stab bed and jabbed and foully murdered! Charon, the proverbial chauffeur of the houseboat—alas don’t you re member Charon with his pointed ears and crooked smile? Charon is the victim, killed with his boots on, probably from behind, and if the murderer will kindly accept this bribe and use a real pin instead of a rubber stiletto, we may be able to promise you one less examiner when Jan. 23rd rolls around. Now, are you satisfied that what this school needs is a good twenty- fiv'e-cent Murder on Styx? This marvelous production will even sur pass the one given by the faculty four years ago “Polly’s Archie,” which some of the old heads may re member with delight. No one can afford to miss this chance which is really one in a normal lifetime, or so we gather or rather wish we could gather from the main charac ters, who would not reveal any nf their identities. We, however, wish to put in a word as to the selection of the King Fish on this trip to Hades, if there will be such. With great anticipation we are looking- forward to seeing dear, sweet Dr. Rondthaler with cleft feet, pointed horns, pitchfork in hand impersonate the mighty Prexy Pluto of the un. derworld, and with deep satisfaction we will come tonight to see the fac ulty of Salem toasting their toes and reliving their wicked deeds per formed while here at school in an guish where, as they say in the mountains of Tennessee— ■ tlie debble pokes the wicked folks and even jokes his mother-in-law— Use Burmer Shave! Wrong again. Murder on Styx—Tonight! MURDER ON STYX TONIGHT! DR.

WHY THEY ARE VICTORIOUS (Continued from Page Two.) places till the sun completed its sec ond tour of the sky. And then they found an everlasting way to victory and to fame. The oldest of wise- men stood up and declared to the chieftains: “The bare feet of warriors pre vent their march forward, for sharp stones and prickly branches pierce their feet and make them go slower. The whole camp was set to work on the new shoes which received the name of gettas. A gettas was made out of a piece of wood with two planks fastened to the toe and to the heel, the whole shoe being at tached to the toe with a cord. Since then, they do not know de feat. The barefooted Eastern re. treats with horror before the wear ers of gettas, who march only for ward pursuing the sun, whose name they adapted for themselves. The Nipponese, people of the sun. 00000000^000000000000>000l j>: All Suede Shoes greatly I reduced I /!'■>' Brown | § up i I $3.95 I g MOST ALL SI/.KS AAy\ TO C'd I Simmons Shoe Store I 444 TEADK STREET i :o: »!
