'alemites, here’s your schedule.
Several of these items apply to
I'per classmen as well as freshmen.

I course, therefore, one star).

Whoever heard of a dinner that
Wasn’t worthy of four stars? Lib

rather eat than go to picture shows.

TODAY’S QUESTIONS
Did you ever write for your
high school weekly?
Did you ever want to contrib
ute to your local newspaper!
Did you ever slyly send in a
poem or a short something to any
L magazine and then either laugh
or cry if it was or waa not pub
lished?
I If you can answer these ques-
I tions with yea, then it’s you that
the Salemite Staff is on a head
; hunting party for. Only its your
hand we’re wanting, and not in
I marriage, either.
-1 If its writing you like, we’re
jthe people who can help you have
A fun while you’re doing it.
U Just notify any member of the
staff of your burning ambition
and she will let you in on the
secret of how to get on the Staff.
All this sounds very nonchalant;
: but in truth we’re quite anxious
1 for new writers, who still have
] their youthful illusions and ro
mantic fantacies. We old heads
are a trifle worn around the edges
of our horn-rijnmed glasses and
need rejuvenation.
BON FIRE ON LOWER
CAMPUS TONIGHT
Freshmen Invited — Presi
dent Student Govern"
ment to Talk
There is nothing so dampening to
Freshmen spirits as feeling out in
the cold. It’s even worse to have a
hungry feeling along with the cold
one . .
So far this has been a general dis
cussion. It becomes an individual
matter tonight when the Student
Self Government Association lights
its annual bonfire on lower campus
for the purpose of dispelling that
chilly feeling from the hearts of its
newest members. As the fire burns,
the Freshmen, although usually
strangers to each other, begin to
warm up; their cold shtjulders, be
ginning to thaw out a little, feel
more capable of leaning to the
wheel, and their cold noses when
once near the friendly blaze, even
begin to look forward a bit to at
taching themselves to the Salem
grindstone.
These miraelea, for miracles they
truly are if they are wrought in
one short meeting, are not entirely
due to the fire. A talk by Bushy
McLean, president of Student Gov
ernment, will have a great deal to do
with the general thawing out of the
crowd. This first glimpse into Salem
life and laws and loves is one of the
things a girl remembers all through
her four years. It seems to set the
pace, to put the class of beginners
on a par with the upperclassmen at
the very beginning. After this first
talk, they should understand better
how to solve their many problems,
who to go to for help, and how very
willing everyone will be to help
them.
After everyone has been sufficient
ly warmed and talked to they will be
fed, this to eliminate any last feeling
of self pity or homesickness. There’s
no room for such feelings either in
the feet (for they are warm), or in
the stomach (for it is stickily full of
sweetness), or least of all, in the
head (for it is crammed with new
names and knowledge).
An appropriate and commendable
custom, the opening bon fire.

NEW TYPE BLUE
BOOK INTRODUCED
Advice to Freshmen Also
Applies to Upper
Classmen
The new “blue books” which have
been circulating around the campus
have nothing to do with Exams. They
are the by-products of this year’s
Student Council’b efforts at Fresh
man orientation. These efforts, judg
ing by the by-products, should be
quite effective.
The best thing about the blue books
is that they remind us how far, far
away are our exams. Aside from
this fact, there is a delightful humor,
a charming lightness of style, dis
played in the advice and rules and
schedules given in these pamphlets,
which is most entertaining. Fresh
men, if they catch this note of
friendly informality, will have

IN ANSWER TO AN
INVITATION
Home Church Cordial to
Salem Students
Dear Mr. Spaugh,
Last week every Salem girl re
ceived your cordial letter of welcome,
and we wish to thank you for your
interest in us and our college. Yon
have made us realize that the home
church really wants us to feel at
home there as much as we do in our
own home churches scattered over
the coimtry. We appreciate the
friendly and beautiful invitation
which your church holds out always
to Salem girls, ard we feel that if we
accept it in the spirit in which it was
sent that invitation will be changed
to inspiration.
We are looking forward to seeing
you many times on our campus this
winter. We want you to know that
our student body is much interested
in and very enthusiastic about the
Moravian church. This youthful in
terest and enthusiasm is inspired to
a great extent by your own youthful
enthusiasm, and your interest in the
young people of your congregation
and community.
