If we are to judge by past history, we must admit that thej^ have reason for .such a belief, for the years which the na tions of the world have spent in long and horrible wars far outnumber the years spent in peace. But we do not agree with them that peace talk is “sentimental ballyhoo.” Such an expressive term would more appropriately apply to the propaganda of war time. In 1914 “the love of one’s country” manifested itself in stirring war cries, waving flags, and tramping feet. There was a sentimental idea that glory came out of war instead of chaos Pacifist movements do not grow out of sentiment. A clear presentation of the facts about the world has compelled thinking people to try to maintain peace. ‘ As thinking college students we are forced to look at the problem of war as a thing to be despised and avoided. We cannot intelligently do anything else. We cannot be called sentimental because we entertain pacifist views and do not want war. War arises from senti ment; pacifism, from enlightment. ARE YOU GETTING A COLLEGE EDUCATION? Why don’t more students attend talks and lectures that are sponsored by the various campus organizations? Is it because students do not have time or because they are not in terested in what is going on outside the'classroom ? Is educa tion simply a process of attending classes and trying to re member enough to pass the next quiz? Do you realize that year after you finish college you will rememl)er about six per cent of what you got out of books, and after two years you will remember only two per cent of what you once thought so vitally important? However, the contacts that you make, the poise and culture that you gain are yours forever. You certainly won’t acquire these by hurrying from one class to another never giving a thought to other things that are going on about you. You do not have to be taking music or art or psychology to enjoy a talk by some outstanding person in that field. Often times it is not so much what the speaker says, but just asso ciating with some one who knows a “little more about life” than you do that adds to your appreciation and understanding of things in general. For the first three years of college, students are so busy going to “college” that they forget to look for a little edu cation, and then as seniors they realize how much has gone by unnoticed. If college doesn’t make you want to read good books and hear good lectures and good music then you are missing the real purpose of going to college. You are working for an education — why not get a good one? One that will mean somethnig to you after you are through college. ‘THE TRYSTING PLACE” FADS AND FASHIONS This time we’re going in for little A Play Eeview things—insignificant, perhaps, but Besides being a pleasant variation important! from the general run of chapel pro- These, for instance, if you use grams, the presentation of “The show you have your finger on Trysting Place” in chapel last the pulse of the new fashion trends: Wknesday morning marked the be Pfinning of many interesting and ex citing adventures for those students taking play production and for those who are interested in play produc tion. “The Trysting Place,” an amusing and delightful play, was really an innovation, and it pre cedes, we hope, many more amusing and delightful plays.

(Only those who are comi>elled to by the looming nearness of a test study). What do you do between 7 and 10—come on, be honest. Here’s what I do, see if it checks with your typical study hour. Seven 0 ’clock usually finds me reading a short story which I prom ised myself when I started reading (at six-thirty) I would put up at seven o’clock. This story usually lasts until seven-thirty when I re luctantly put up the magazine.. That of course doesn’t leave very much time before Guy Lombardo comes on at eight. I do break down and read about six pages of my lit erature tho ’. (I can’t read any more for looking at the clock in fear that eight might pass, and with it Guy, before I know it.) Since I have a radio three girls on my hall always come in on Monday to listen to Guy. After his program is over we talk a few minutes about how somebody went to a dance two years ago when Guy Lombardo played, and from there to how it was after the iwiciiLiy auu euecwveiy (mucn to ® nom mere to now it was atter the le delight of the audience).

The Fair was certainly well worth the paltry sum the ^ ’ ’ charged fbr their project. LESS NOISE IN THE = LIBRARY, PLEASE We like the way the librarians have gone about trying to make us be quieter and more considerate of other people study- ng m the library. They haven’t offended a one of us azid Xt they have told us directly of our conduct through the clever posters at the entrance of the library and on the study taUs. he poster-s l emind us of things which perhaps every one of iis has done, either consciously or unconsciously. f • A * stopped on the library steps to talk with a friend who is coming out? WTio hasn’t run up or down the stairs a.s if a bear were chasing here ? Who hasn’t shoved chairs across the floor, or walked as if she were an overgrown ele phant? The cleverly illustrated posters tell ils, without hurting OT^ feelings, not to do these things again. One of them reads You may not be a ‘camel,’ but you can give your chair‘a lift instead of a shove. Aiiother one, illustrated by two girls gossiping, says: “If the librarians can hear what ‘he said’ last night _ youVe talking too loud.” And then there’s the one which says You wouldn t $tomp on a rare antique — well our floors are antique too!” "en, our SENIOR CHAPEL ' ATTENDANCE Whenever there are visitors in chapel they naturally no tice the senior class because of the prominent place it has in each cnapel service. Is our senior class represented well enough in chapel? Seldom, except on Wednesday, are more than half the seniors there, and the line is too short and not at all representative of our seniors And another thing — why do seniors rush to liapel a1> the last-minute with their collars tucked in wron» their gowns not completely fastened, and the tassels on their caps hanging the wrong way? . Let’s make our class better, seniors, by attending chaoel looking like seniors. ^ l ou ve read so often about the type of home in which Lincoln was reared that you probably have a clear picture of it Compare thi.s picture with Salem gymnasium. Aren’t the two almost identical? Is Salem that far behind times? Must we continue to live in the past? We’re all proud of Salem’s ase but we would like to have a new gym. You don’t make an old lady wear her baby clothes — neither should you make an old school go ragged. must go to the Wee Blue Inn and get a hot dog and a “dope.” By the time I finish that and settle down it is ten o ’clock^ and of course you can’t study between ten and ten-thirty. There is too much noise and besides study hour is over. Then comes the ten-thirty bell and with it quiet and since I have studying that must be done and nothing to keep me from doing it, I start studying. SALEM COLLEGE STUDENTS ATTEND SPORT CONFERENCE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) don, Randolph Macon, Hollins, Wil- liom and Mary, and Salem. When the Salem Representatives arrived at 3:30 o’clock, Friday aft ernoon, they immediately went down to the Hockey Fields where they watched and played hockey all aft ernoon. At six o’clock there was a tea given in honor of the guests. Everyone wore tunics, and Salem was highly f.ompliiriented on her white ones. Dinner was served at 7:45. Friday night there was a movie shown illustrating hockey rules, aft er which there was an executive meeting of which Miss Atkinson is a member. There were also other meetings and discussions relating to all kinds of sports. Later an inform al dance was given for the guests. Salem girls watched and played hockey from 8:45 Saturday morn ing until 12:45 o’clock. After lunch they were s-hown ploces of historical interest in Williamsburg. The girls reported a fine time go ing and coming back. On the wav there, they crossed a ferry. The captain was very nice to them and even let McArn steer the ferry.
