They should not only receive our thanks, but also our support. The next time you de ■cide to replenish your wardrobe, drink a soda, purchase a book, or otherwise enlighten your purse, why noit, visit the stores which support us by advertising in our paper? Let’s make them believe that it really “pays to advertise.” That’s fair enough. We support them, they co-operate with us, and everybody s happy. -Betty Wilson. SALEM’S “OTHER THANS” Other than what? Other than merely a commercial enter prise, and other than a place of buiiiness where money is given in exchange for book knowledge. Did you ever stop and summarize how many “other thans Salem really has? The breathtaking loveliness of lower campus, the danity flower l)^ds dotted here and there, and the Quaint architecture of the ])uildings, group themselVes to make an impression not to be forgotten. “Other thans” that cannot be overlooked are Miss Stock ton’s delightful picnic suppers, holiday banquets, and special meals, instead of the same sing songy menus day after day. Salem is filled with an impressive and sincere spirit of love, beauty, and kindness, other than, petty jealousy, ugliness, and unthoughtfulness, making it a life long remembrance “other than” a mere thought. —Louise Freeman. FRESHMAN INITIATION? Scuffles — screams — yells — laughter —, knocks — a breathless “Key, you Preshie, C’mon out here!” — Then a ‘ ‘ s-sh! s-sh ! Be quiet. ..My room-mate is sick ’ ’ — apologies — The soft thud of a closing door — no, not a mystery drama. Just another poor, ignorant Freshman trying to avoid a Sopho more hazer. Sick headaches and sprained ankles suddenly sprang into cxifstence when the rumors flew up and down the hall that “the Sophomores have it in for us tonight.” But oh, the relief, the hurried restoration to perfect health and the thankful prayers when it was announced that there would be no real freshman initdation this year. There are two definite answers to the question: Should Freshmen be Initiated? The first, from tlie Sophomore’s point of view runs like this: “We lived through it last year and now we should have a chance to avenge ourselves. We deem it nec essary merely as a matter of fairness it« us.” Of course, the poor timid freshman believes she will belong to Salem just as well uninitiated as after having undergone the terrible ordeal. Efverything is so new to these girls that this added worry piled on their burdened shoulders is quite enough to tinge their first days with misery. But what will their opinion be as Sophomore.s. Time alone will tell! —Alice Horsfield. "Her sweater has that uncombed look that old sweaters have, her skirt has certain brillance acquired from class room chairs, her brown- and-white shoes are a disgrace, but her broad-shouldered straight tweed jacket is of the newest, the boldest plaid, and she buttons only the mid dle button in the best Bond Street manner She definitely has a flair for clothes. "The contradiction i,li this c'ol lege girl’s costume makes perfectly good sense to her, for she knows that campus chic is marked by being uni form in the fundamentals and discov ering inspired incidentals. Every girl she knows wears sweaters and skirts that look as if their owners had been born in them; new or old, they are a familar background. But the plaid jacket is an example of her own individual taste, and if it is a good enough idea to become con tagious, her reputation is made as a loader in fashion — like the girl who buttoned her cardigan down the back for the first time. Tucked away in her trunk, she has another golden idea for a campus fad in the form of wide-ribbed Dubonnet wool en stockings. Woolen stockings have been tabu on the campus for years, and she may not be able to get away with these; in which case she may go without stockings alto gether. She knows that reputations can be made by subtractions from, as well as additions to a costume. ‘ ‘ She likes the basic uniformity of college clothes because the cloth es are comfortable, take practically no care, wear forever, cost little, and eliminate the indecision as to what to wear five days a week. She likes her skirts short and wide enough for comfortable walking; she likes her heels low, her hair loose and not too short, and she is glad that this year’s fashions fall in with her ideas. She likes to look narrow in the hips and broad in the shoul ders, and she wears a Lastex girdle and effects a bulky scarf around her shouldQrs to achieve this. She has plenty of vanity, but she goes to a girls’ college and is glad to forget about serious competition until Fri day night.” This is "Vogue’s” idea of a chic college girl. It may not be yours. (You might write‘to Miss Chase.) tn this, however, we all agree: sim plicity is the most important, the necessary, the fundamental thing in class room and week day clothes.

COLLECTING BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS MISS MARKS WRITES BOOKLET (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) picture has a definite purpose. Miss Marks obtained her A. B. at Southwestern Teacher’s College, and her M A. at Columbia University. She did graduate work at Chicago University and the University of North Carolina. She taught in the public schools of Oklalioma, was prin cipal and supervisor in the schools of Arkansas, assistant superintend ent and curriculum consultant at La Crosse, Wis., taught at summer schools of University of Arkansas, University of North Carolina and Duke. She was one of the first two women to be faculty members at the University of North Carolina. She was also a member of the American Library Association Committee on revision of graded lists for children. Salem is proud to be able to claim the author of "Cotton”! By Mr. Campbell It is less expensive and much more interesting to collect and preserve Biological specimens than to pur chase them from a supply house. During the past summer, as in recent years, speciments have been collected and will be used in the laboratory hero at Salem. The types mention ed are all marine and are typical rep resentatives of animals found in the sea. At high tide one can collect little from the shore except Beach fleas (Orchestia agilis). Beach bugs (Hip- pa talpoida), and Fiddler crabs (Gelasimus minax). When the water recedes a wealth of sea life is ex posed. On rocks and sticks are thous ands of Periwinkles (Littorina lit- torea), and Barnacles (Balanus eburneus). In the sand and mud one may find about six inches be neath the surface soft clams (Mya arenaria), and Clam worms (Nereis virens). On the mud, perhaps in a few feet of water are Oysters (Os- trea virginica), Hard clams or Qua A Candle Light Service will be held in the Library this coming Sun day at ti:’0 p. in. This is a recog nition service for the new girls and a service of consecration for the old students. The Candle Light Service is one of the most impressive of the Vesper programs; we hope that many girls will be present. Freslimen are asked to wear white. LAMPS OF GOD His lamps are we To shine where he shall say; And lamps are not for sunny rooms. Nor for the light of day But for dark places of the earth. Where shame and wrong and crime have birth; Or for the murky twilight gray. Where wandering sheep have gone astray; Or where the light of faith grows dim. And souls are groping after Him; And as sometimes a flame we find, Clear shining through the night— So bright we do not see the lamp, But only see the light, So we may shine—His light the flame. That men may glorify His name. HOW MUCH DO YOU HEAR? Sometime, when you are up in the library, stop what you ’re doing for just a minute, and listen. If your ears are "observant,” you can catch as many as ten or fifteen different sounds in a minute or two. Listen sh-h—somebody’s already dropped her pencil! That clock seems to be ticking quite loudly. Here comes someone, the door creaks —heels tap-tap across the floor, the boards squeak, she jwlls out a chair —another scraping sound—she pulls it up to the table. Someone clicks off a liglit, and as she gets up to go, slams her book together. A news paper rattles in the periodical room. Wham! someone’s dropped a book this time, and a suppressed giggle comes from an observer. Quick whis pers as somebody leaves her room- ^ mate in the library. Here comes a pair of rubbersoled oxfords, padding across the floor. A pin goes scratch, scratch across the paper. Tho clock on t!ie tower is striking ten, and tliere is a general einigra- LR. S. ENTERTAINS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) a few seem to have grown pigtails and freckles while they took double hems in their skirts. During the time-out between "Ijioop-de-Loop” and "Parmer-in- the-dell” Cramer (Butch) Percival, assisted byLeila Williams gave a lesson in higher mathematics. But the climax of the evening came while playing "grab bag” when Annette Smith downed a green pepper, and Mildred Miuter stuffed nine chink- a-pins (worms ’n all) in her month.
