SALEM COLLEGE STU DENTS ATTEND SPORT CONFERENCE DEAN VARDELL TALKS AT MUSIC HOUR “The Loves of Beethoven’ Subject ;of Interesting Lecture Pean Vardell gave a most interest ing and instructive lecture at Music hour, on Thursday, November 14, in Memorial Hall showing the connec tion of Beethoven’s romance to his music. In the beginning Dean Vardell told of the dramatic ending of Bee thoven’s life. His last words were: ‘ ‘ Applaud my friends, the comedy is ended,” and thus ended the life of the greatest figure in music. Bejethoven’s family knew that he had some shares of stock so they looked for them continuously until a friend of the family found them ac cidently, by pushing a secret spring in a drawer. On top of one of the stocks was a love letter supposed to have been written to Beethoven's beloved and also a picture of Theresa Brunswick, one of his former pupils. Dean Vardell read this letter in full and pointed out important elements which were brought out in his lec ture later on. We find from the let ter that Beethoven was very much in love and that he was at a summer (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) LE CERCLE FRANCAIS MEETS AT HAYWOOD FARM NOVEMBER 12 MUe.

JUDGE HASTINGS DISCUSSES “CRIME” IN CHAPEL TALK Alarming Statistics Reveal ed By SpesJter Judge Gideon Hastings of Winston- Salem spoke to the student body at chapel, Saturday morning, November 9, on the subject, “Crime and the E'erpetuity of our Government. ’ ’ In his talk he presented many facts and statistics. Judge Hastings stated that “the United States is the most lawless nation in the world.” “More boys enter jails than col leges each year. ’ ’ According to him, crime cost sixteen billion dollars per year in the United States, and there is a criminal army of 350,000 men, a larger number than fought on both sides at Waterloo or Gettysburg. There are only 100,000 policemen and 117,000 preachers to combat them. We have 1,900,000 laws, pass ed at the rate of 25,000 per year, for the purpose of regulating crime, and yet there were 1,300,000 atro cious crimes, 12,000 murders, and 900,000 assaults in our country last year. In Winston-Salem alone 20 or 30 murders were committed last year, and one person out of every ten broke some law. “The crime situation must be met with intelligence.” This prob lem rests upon the homes, schools, and colleges of our land. ’ ’ Our gov ernment has taken a SJtep toward its solution by organizing an army of G Men, but the only permanent so lutions are the in.stillation of rever ence and esteem for law' and the creation of wholesome communities. Judge Hastings concluded by say ing that “Upon the shoulders of the youths of today rests the responsi bility for the outcome of tomorrow.” WILSON ANGEL HEARD BY LARGE AUDIENCE Local Baritone Gives Bril liant Concert MAC RICHEY OF DUKE SPEAKS AT Y.

M. Jordon, professor of educational psychology at the Uni versity of North Oarolina, was the guest speaker of the Salem College 1‘sychology Club, Tuesday, in the Recreation Room of the Louisa Wil son Bitting Building. His subject was “Problems of Motivation in School Situations.” Dr. Jordon said that the best and most interesting way of studying human behavior was l>y studying the motives that were back of the be havior. He cited several experi ments that are being conducted in various places to help to understand motivation more exactly. Motives and interests are closely related and the two fundamentals divisions of interest are intrinsic and extrinsic, the former fulfilling ones inward motives and interests, and the lat ter setting up external motives with rewards for progress. By presenting interesting illustrations, Dr. .lordon showed that approbation rather than reprobation is preferable in the classroom. Garnelle Raney, president of the club, presided and announced that the next speaker would be Dr. Frazier Hood of Davidson College. TOWARD PEACE Speaker Quotes “The Un known Soldier Speaks” As a part of the Peace Drive which is ■ being undertaken by the World Fellowship Committee of the Y. W. C. A., Mac Richey, a Senior at Duke University and Chairman of the World Fellowship group there, gave a talk in Expanded Chapel on Wednesday, November 13th. Eighteen years ago, before the United States entered the war, the conditions existing resembled very nmch the atmosphere which is per vading the world today. Countries wore working for peace: treaties were signed, pacts and agreements were made, loans were given, until the very structure of the peace work became a cause for war. Picture a battlefield — strewn with the scar red and torn bodies of men who were left to die as sacrifices to the god War — young people, who had dreamed, loved and lived; and then died at the hands of other men of their own sort. But more than this is to be seen — the hopes, morals and ethics of the world were torn as badly as the bodies of those men. The battlefield has been called the field of honor for those men who gave what they had, and rightly so; but it is also a field of dishonor for the j)(‘oplo who put them there. The following is a quotation from .Tohn Haynes Holme’s article “The Unknown Soldier Speaks,” printed in the Christian Century, November 1935. “ ‘Peace,’ lie cried, ‘where is itt You made me die — and die in vain. You slew me like a beast upon an altar, then rubbed my wounds with salt, and stuffed my mouth with ashes. Do you know w'hat I thought when I went across to France, after (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) THE REVEREND ROBERTS SPEAKER AT Y. W.C.

Arnico Topy presided, Peggy Rog ers read the Scripture, and Jane Rondthaler sang a lovely solo, ‘ ‘ Come Vo Bless‘d,” accompanied by Vir ginia Thompson ^it the piano. The choir sang the opening and closing sentences. The Reverend Roberts brought a message of world fellowship. All over the world there have been pro phets of world fellowship; we find messages from many lands concern ing this. First of all is the Golden Rule—in Jesus’ own words: “All things w’hatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them”—and this rule is world wide, coming to us from Galilee. We have messages from Japan and from China; from Greece: “if you would learn to speak well, speak well of others”; from Russia, “whore love is, there God is also”; and then we have messages from an cient Palestine, too. The old prophets spoke always of I (CONTINUED ON PAGE POUR)
