We laugh at the girl who says “I am not going to let my
studies interfere with my college career.” And yet that is the
real attitude that most of us take unconsciously. Someone has
a birthday and someone’s mother has sent her a box of food
with which to celebrate the occasion. All invitations to come
and help her take care of the contents of the box are joyfully
received and accepted. Who could sit in a lonesome room
vainly concentrating on mathematics while shouts of laughter
from the other room through the key-hole. Of course, you
have the best of intentibiis-'towards the mathematics but some
how, without realizing it, you are in a crowd of gay pajamad
girls eating huge slices of birthday cake and all the other things
that come in the boxes from home. Then comes the bell. The
hall is quiet as you try again to complete your assignment,
which was left so abruptly. Your head is heavy and your eyes
half-closed with sleep. With a weary sigh you close the book
and stagger to bed. The next thing you knoAv it is morning
and still you have no paper for class. The memory of the gay
time of the evening before is tinged wth regret. How much
better it would have been to have finished the work and then
have enjoyed the fun.

HIDDEN
PERSONALITIES
‘■‘There is moi-e to her than meets the eye.” I am think
ing of the girl in every college who lacks skill in the art of
displaying her personality most advantageously; and, as a
result of her weakness is left out of the better part of campus
life.
Kot from lack of interest or worthiness is this girl held
back, but by an inner reserve which she cannot master. In a
group of less timid students she assumes a quiet mask which
causes her classmates to pass her by as lacking in personality.
It is hard for other students to understand her situation.
This girl, however, with the hidden personality may have as
much to offer her school as any other student. She should be
drawn into the light tactfully and kindly so that she can prove
the fullness of her personality. When you see her on the cam
pus, for you will, talk to her. Help her. She needs your sympa
thy and friendship. In the end she will, without doubt, return
to you as much good as you have given her.
—Helen McArthur.
UNITED
FRONT
(Prom University of North Carolina, Daily Tar Heel)
(N. S. F. A.)
As actual hostilities begin on the Ethiopian border it is
perhaps time to view with a certain degree of consideration
the efforts of the various pacifist groups among student bodies
of the nation.
The economic entanglements which drew us into the last
\var are an indication of the danger of the situation to the peace
of the United States. The present crisis was forecast by the
hlirried organization of radical pacifist leagues a short while
back.
The activities of these organizations culminated last year
in the student anti-war strike held 011 this campus under the
auspices of the anti-war committee.
It is interesting to note that on a number of campuses
violently “American” students did their best to stem the out
burst, not considering the purpose, but fearing only the friction
of “radicalism.”
Political preferences or dislikes must ^lot be considered in
the present situation. We need a universal stu)dent stand
against the institution of war to punch a hole in the balloon
being blown up by the jingoist press.
POWER OF
YOUTH
THE GOLDEN
RULE
In all ages men have sought and found the Pearl of Great
Price, the truth by which men live, and the Supreme Teach
ers have proclamed it in simple words.
^lirza Ahmad Schrab, a Persian teiacher, has prepared a
summary of the Golden Rule as expressed in the world religions:
Christ: “"WTiatsoever ye would that man should do to you,
do ye even so to them.” •
Hindu: “That true rule is to do by the thing's of others
as you do by your own.”
Buddha: “One should seek for others the happiness one
desires for one’s self.”
Parsee:^ “Do as you wQuld be done by.”
Confucius: “AYhat you would not wish done to your self
do not to others.”
Mahomet: “Let none of you trea)t a brother in a way he
himself would dislike to be treated.”
Jewish: “Whatever you do not wish your neighbor to do
to .you do not unto him.”

PICTURE
ME!
Are you camera coascious ? Are you in a movie mood ? Have
you practiced your prettiest picture pose? This has been a
photographing” week, and it’s gone over with a click, snap, and
bang. Even the birdies have been present, except we haven’t
found them yet.
Hold it please. LTh, oh, vi'hat did you do — shake your
head, bite your lips, froAvn, or swallow? You naughty girl, you
must freeze that smile, lift your head with Sale'm poise, and be
the girl you w'ant to see in this year’s annual.
And, sh, sh, listen! Beware of the willow tree because the
camei-a man will get you if you don’t watch out!
—Florence JojTier.

(N. S. F. A.)
European youth has long been recognized as a vital force
m government affairs. “Every nation abroad tries to contact
her young people and draw them together. Their vast political
influence cannot be over-emphasized,” as Robert A. Klein,
president of the New York University day student organization'
said after a European tour during which he studied the youth
movement.
Theorists here have always been awake to the strength of
the student body. Political parties are also awakening to the
strength which the thirty million votes of students can give
them. Both Republicans and Democrats rfecently made bids
loi college student followings when they began the organiza-
tion of young Democrat and young Republican clubs.
_ These thirty million votes can exert a vast and beneficial
miluence. But the strength of the present student body lies
even more in its intelligence and leadership, yet to be proven.*
With politicians and theorists beckoning them, students
are being bombarded with propaganda from all sides. They
need to discuss what they hear, dissect ther information and
discover the truth.
Here as nowhere else, the student has the opportunity to
study current politico-socio-economic happening’s. He can chal
lenge, •criticize, and learn. His tM^o greatest assets are his
criti^l outlook and his open, far-sighted, and intelligent mind.
Youth can make today’s student opinion tomorrow’s gov
ernment policies.
DAY STUDENTS’
LUNCH ROOM

This week, if you have noticed, there has been a rush of
off-campus students, exactly at one, for the little dining-room.
The rush means that the lunch room has reopened. Last year
we were able to redecorate the two downstairs study rooms
in South Hall and the Little Dining Room with the proceeds
from the lunch room. The rooms look so well that the whole
college is proud to receive guests and to entertain in them
Uhat shall we de for Salem this year? Well, that is up to us’
the off-campus students. With eo-operation from every girl’
the lunch room will be a success. Eat in there when you are
here at lunch time and do your part, if you are asked to help.
Maybe, this year, we wi be alble to do something reallv bis for
Salem. ^ s
P. S.—The food there is really good.
—Katherine Sissell.
We saw such an interesting ar
ticle called “Mouthpieces” in a
recent “Vogue” that we couldn’t
resist passing it on to you:
“A lovely mouth used to be a gift
that only Nature could bestow; and
if Nature was a little absent-minded,
theie was nothing much a girl could
do, except bite her lips before every
party, and hope that the color would
last.
Today, you may perform a modern
miracle for your own mouth. The
first step is to pick your lipstick col
ors, not by the trial-and-error meth
od, but from the'selectors’ that are
found on all cosmetic counters, with
which you can try every shade before
you buy it. You’ll need at least
three shades: a natural color, with
yellow in it, for daytime; a rose
shade with some blue in it for eve
ning, to counteract the yellow raya
of artificial light; and a shade with
a purplish cast, for those night-life
occasions when amber lights will
blot out any other make-up'.
The first rule in application is to
be sure that you get your lipstick far
enougj^ inside your lips and in the
corners. Morgan Jones, a wonder
worker with make-up, who does peo
ple’s faces for stage, screen, and por
traits, has a formula for making a
beautiful mouth that will stay fixed
Buy yourself a Chinese paint-brush
(you can get them in Mott Street, in
New York’s Chinatown), dip it in
cold-cream, wipe off the cream, and
then, using your lipstick (or paste,
or salve), as a paint-pot, paint your
lips on with the brush.
If you want your mouth to stand
out vividly, use another brush, and
put Max Factor’s Satin Smooth
around the lipstick, blending it into
the skin. After you have modelled
your lips, try 'fixing’ them by pow
dering them. Then wring a dab of
absorbent cotton out in water, and
wipe off the powder. Lipstick treat
ed this way won’t come off even on
cigarettes. If you haven’t time for
this, press your lips firmly down
over a folded tissue, after lipstick
IS on.
If you want h(>althy-looking red
gums behind your red lips, dry the
gums carefully. Mix Louis Philippe
Angelus rouge with a little cold-
Meam and rub it over the gums, wip
ing off any that gets on the teeth.
Jhe color will stay fast all day.
Make-up is pretty important, but
ter all, it’s the trimming on the'
facade. What goes on behind is more
fundamental still Irreproachable
cleanliness is the thing — and not
so usual as it ought to be, in spite of
Its attractiveness. One way to get
It IS to gargle, every time you have
a chance; it can’t be too often —
Too many women, in business and
out, let their insides get nervous and
upset, and their breath reacts ac
cordingly _
now all the dire things that befall
them then!
Shining white teeth — if you ever
read an ad, you know what they can
do for you! How to get them? More
brushing, for one thing, and not such
casual brushing. It takes three full
minutes to get your teeth really clean
and three cleanings a day are none
too many. (But two good cleanings
are better .than three haphazard
ones.) And you need three brushes
smallish, with fairly stiff bristles
-renewer every two months at the
very east. Dental floss used every
night is the one sure way to keep the
teeth absolutely free of particles
that might work havoc at the vital
points where the teeth meet. (When
you use it, you hold the floss taut,
so that it won’t slip down and cut in
to the gums.) And remember that
gums, like everything else, need good
circulation. Mafesage them once a
day with flat finger-tips and tooth
paste. Ask your dentist how to mas
sage and to wield your brush. Con
sider your teeth in your diet, too.
Eat plenty of eggs, milk, green Vege
tables, citrus fruits, and crisp foods
that you have to bite on. And look
upon regular visits to your dentist
as among the most important en
gagements of the year.”
