COMMITTEE CONDUCTS
SERIES OF PROGRAMS
Agnes Brown, Arnice Topp,
Erika Marx Speakers
Tuesday
Chapel Tuesday began a series of
World Fellowship Week progra,ms.
Agnes Brown told us of the origin
and purpose of the peace movement.
It originated at the Blue Bidge Con
ference last summer in the Y. M.
and Y. W. C. A. groups. The young
people present, at the conference de
cided they wanted to take a stand
for peace. This movement has de
veloped in seven southern states, and
the N. S. F. A. has adopted it as
one of its main features.
Then Arnice Topp told a little
about the peace drive on our camp
us. The World Fellowship Commit
tee wants to make Salem College
students conscious of this movement,
as many colleges in the South are
doing. Each month there are con
ferences and discussion groups held.
On our own campus there are meet
ings held each week.
Erika Marx then spoke briefly
about the movement. It is up to us
to read and think about national af
fairs, and to support peace with
reason and intelligence.

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

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.”

“Problems of Motivation”
Discussed At Meeting
Dr. A. 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

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
