Salem Represented At Interstate Tournament Meeting at Westhampton Draws Large Crowd of Girls Representing Salem at tVe Virginia Field Hockey A/Ssociaticn Tourna ment held in Richmond at Westhamp ton College, Noyembtr lO-ll, were ' Coke;y Preston, Meta liutchison, Lib by Jerome, Margarel \Iaxw,ell and Miss Atkinson. On their arrival at the college Fri day afternoon, the Salem girls found V that they were scheduled to play an Et Cetera C team almost immediately. Several schools, Sweetbriar, William and Mary, Harrisonburg, Westhamp ton, Farmville, and others were re presented by ,one or two full teams, while others, Salem among them, had only a few representatives and were placed on Et Cetera-A, B, or C teams. While the Et Cetera teams were fun to pliy on or watch, the hockey dem onstrated by the mixed groups was naturally not nearly so good as that played by the full varsities of various colleges. Those team were well coached and in good form, and some of the highlights of the entire tourna ment were viewed from the observer’s seat on the sidelines. One of the most interesting of the matches was a game between the coaches and Sweetbriar’s second team. Good hockey, in which the art of wrist work, fancy and plain passes and dadges, and good fol low-up work was demonstrated, was seen then as well as in other games. Six games in all were played Friday, and Friday night the Westhampton dramatic Club presented two one-act plays for the netertainment of their Saturday the Salem girls played in the opening game, Et Cetera C vs. Richmond Division William and Mary. At the ^ame'time Westhampton Var sity played William and Mary Var sity, and six (rther games fololwed in rapid succession ^fter this until lunch, wherl the girls were guests of West hampton in the college dining In the afternopn, three games played, the last one being an exhibi tion game of teams picked from the most outstanding players in the tournament, which rounded off the play. There were abzout fifteen schools represented at the meet with a total of about a hundred and eighty-five girls, who were entertained at the college. Othe^ than the chance to see some good hockey players in action and good hockey being played, the tournament was highly enjoyed in many other respects. The weather was cold, but clear, and the hockey fields were in excellent condition. There were many contacts with girls fram other colleges and chances to familiarize with names and faces of notable coaches and umpires cellent. And, of course, the friendly atmosphere and good sportsmanship which pervaded the entire meet made the meeting wel worth while. Y.M.C. A. Worker Speaks at Chapel Mr. Harmon Talks on Russia Mr. Harmon, noted Y. M. C. A. worker made an interesting talk in chapel Thursday on the conditions in Russia today. He says that,, on his recent trip to Europe, he was more impressed with Russia than ^ith any other coun-^ try; and that it seemed to him like so many lines: bread lines and .fuel lines; but the longest of all was the line which led to Lenin’s tomb. There in plain view in a glass casket, is the presrved body of that great Bolshe vik leader, who resolved to take Rus sia out of ttie struggle of war. Every day thousands of people file by the tomb of him, whom they honor almost ■ i the point of worship. The Russian children’s extent of knowledge is higher than that of the children of our country. While >‘tots” five years old, in-the United States, are listening to Fairy (Tales, and singing nursery rhymes, children of the same age in Russia are being taught of the economic conditions of Russia, and are singing a song about Russia’s completing the “Five Year Flan” in four years. Mr. Harmon mentioned the large tax that the common citizens must take from their small incomes to give to the country. The government exacts a certain amount of all pro duce. The peasants, after having gone down the line, and given all that is necessary out of their products, barely have enough left with which to purchase sufficient food. Nobel Prizes Are Awarded News Is of National Interest Stockholm, Sweden — The Nobel Prizes for physics and literature awarded for the year 1933, November 8th. The prize for physics was divided between Prof. E. Tchroediu- ger, of Berlin and P. A.' M. Diroh, Cambridge. Ivan Bunin, a Russian author, was ■ awarded the literature prize. Bunin is ranged by Russians along with Dostowslfy, Turgenieb and Chekov.' He was made an honorary member of the Academy of St. Petersburg before the revolution. He became famous in the American literary world in ^922, with the publication of a short story, “The Gentleman From San Francisco.” He was already well known then in Europe for his book “Mitya’s Love,” a psychological his tory of the first love of a 17-year-old youth; and for “The Village.” Bunin translated foreign classics as well, including Byron and Long fellow for Russian readers. His most recent book was “The Well of Days,” published this year in England. Bunin since the Revolution when he escaped from Russia has been living Vardell Concludes Music Lectures Concludes “Ring of the Nibelung” On Thursday afternoon Mr. Var dell concluded his series of lectures on The Nibelungen Ring with “^k)tter- dammerung” or The Dusk of the Gods. The opera begins with a prelude which the Norns, wlio control the fates of both men and gods, weave their thread of life, and it breaks. They know by this token that the destruction of all things is at hand. Siegfrie4 parts from Brunhilde in order to go upon new adventures, but meanwhile gives her the ring to wear while he is gone. . He takes with him the Tarnhelm, or invisible cap, and Helpneid, the sword, and Brun- hlide lends him her steed to ride. Mr. Vardell played the music which accompanied the dawn just before Siegfri^ jmd Brunhilde come out on the stage. First the melody is vague and indefinite. Then one hears the horn of Siegfried and the motive of Brunhilde characterized by a turn. Mr. Vardell also played Siegfried’s Rhine journey in which were the mo tives of the River Rhine, of the Key, of bondage, and the song of the Rhine daughters. Siegfried proceeds to the Court of Qunther, a powerful king, who wel- coiYies him cordially. Hagen, the ning son of Albericli, is one of the court, and knowing of Siegfried’ deeds, he brews the hero a drink which causes him to forget all his past. The memory of Brunhilde fades away, and he asks of Gunther the hand of his fair sister, Gutruve in marriage. The king consents dition that Brunhilde is secured for himself, and the forgetful Siegfried agrees to go with Gunther and compel her to yield. Mr. Vardell played Gu-; truve’s niotive and the motive of mag- deceit. While Brunhilde awaits the return of her warrior, Valtrante, another Valkyr maiden, comes to plead with her to restore the ring to the Rhine- maidens. Thus only can the gods be spared from destruction. But Brun hilde answers scornfully that the gods have'not been kind to her, and besides the ring is not her own. By means of the . Tarnhelm, Siegfried as.sur the shape of Gunther, and comes claim Brunhilde as his ‘ wife. She struggles, against him but is over powered, and he wrests the ring from her finger. She is compelled to fol low him back to Gunther’s Court. The Walhalla motive was heard in ^ 1 altered form—the minor which sig- ry modest circum- nified distress.

Is Presented In New Relationships Yesterday morning in Y. P. M. Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse deliver ed another interesting address to Sal em students and faculty. Mrs. Wood- house is the vocational and personel director of the Woman’s College' of the University of North Oarolina. She is also" head of the Institute of Women’s Professional Relations In stitute. Mrs. Woodhou.se is well known to Salem. She was introduc ed by Dean Vardell. Speaking on “The NRA as it Re lates to Socialism, Communism, Fac- ism, and Capitalism”, Mrs. Wood house stressed the following points: The NRA is a composite thing. There are over 14 different aits, anc’ many governing bodies. NRA wa! not necessary because we do not hav( food and supplies, but because wt -Jiave no way of getting these thirtgs I the hands of those who need them. Money is not the purchasing' power; it only counts the purchasing power, ^thing e^ch one must earn for him- SOPHOMORE ENTERTAINMENT Tonight the ' Seniors, are to be the guests of the Sophomores at dinner and 'the show. The follow ing invitation, which was very at tractively written on a street car topped by a banner “The Torch Singer,” is acknowledged by the Seniors: “On Thursday eve at six o’clock The little dining-room unlock And there a dinner waits for you; And then a trolley—maybe two. We’ll ride in state to see the show So come on time prepared to go.” self. NRA is a plan for cooperation. All us have to get on if any of us to get on. It is teaching us that have to live and work together just -small family. Lack of co operation in business today is traced to the vast change in forms of busi- One hundred and fifty years business houses were individually owned. Today business houses are corporations and are owned by hun dreds of people. The terms ‘communism’ and ialism’ are often misused and fused. After all,-the terms represent merely different temperaments. Can we not use the words ‘radicals’ and ‘liberals’ and convey the ing? The socialists or radicals be lieve that one group must be superior. NRA advocates equality. The Fas cists ' believe in the most rigid capi talism—that property owners should have all control. Plato once said, “Civilization is the victory of per- suation over force”. In communism ;nd socialism emphasis is On force; in NRA on persuation. e from this that NRA is based on cooperation and planning, and that it is a matter which is close home to us. We can develop coopera- small college groups which will lead to cooperation in Jargei things. .. Dr. Johnson Speaks To Psychology Club “Endocrine Glands” is Subject Thursday night, November 9, at ' the initial meeting of the Psychology Club, Dr. Wingate Johnson gave a lecture on endocrine glands. Dr. Johnson said there are 8 endocrine, or internal glands which secrete a sub stance called hormones directly into the blood stream. These are the pineal gland which is situated at the back of the head, the pituitary situated in a socket underneath the brain at about a level with the bridge of the nose, the thyroid and parathyroid glands near the “adams apple,” the thymus gland near the lung, the pancreas be hind the stomach, the adrenals above the kidneys, and the gonads. The pineal gland functions mainly as a check on maturity. If this gland, becomes infected or injured in any way there are likely to be precocious signs of puberty. The pituitary gland is one of the most important glands in the body. Ii; is protected by a socket. If the gland enlarges and presses against the socket, there are liable to be vio lent headaches. The pituitary gland reinforces adolescensc^. The thyroids are an' interesting pair of glands. If the person does not have a sufficient amount of thy roxin, he becomes a cretin. This sta,te of idiocy may be everted if the subject takes thyroxin. If the thy roid becomes enlarged because of Wok of iodine in the system the person is said to have a goiter and a part of the thyroid must be removed. The parathyroids act as a check on tBe I thyroids. The thymus gland inhibits the functioning of the gojiai^s and ceases to secrete its hormone after puberty. The pancrease secretes a substance called insulin which ^accelerates the using up of blood sugar. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB MEETS The Home Economics Club had its monthly meeting Thursday eve ning. Betty Stough, presiding, ap pointed a social committee of which Ruth McLeod is chairman, and turned the meeting over to Frances Adams, chairman of the Program Committee.
