Big Miscast of 1936 VOL. XVI. SALEM STUDENTS AHEND PEACE CONFERENCE Dr. R. J. Artman Leads Discussions The second student Conference on Peace was held Sunday, November 24, at Greensboro Women’s College. Reports of the progress of the Peace Movement in the colleges of North Carolina there represented were given, and the general trend showed an increase in student interest in the movement and its activities. The program committee was for tunate in securing as speaker and leader of the conference Dr. J I?- Artman, formerly a professor at the University of Chicago, and now en gaged in touring the country, giving lectures, and making studies of the prevalent economic conditions. In the morning session, Dr. Art man used as the basis of his dis cussion the fact that the world now is actually and fundamentally war- minded — and that through a long time program, not taking only a year, but covering years, we must change the public mind to one of pgace — and the plans for this pro gram must be laid so that the on coming generations of students will be able to take hold where the pres ent generation leaves off. There are three big problems to day in America which must be solved. First is to return politics to the peo ple, instead of leaving it in the hands of political racketeers; 2nd is to change the war mind of the public to that of peace; and third is to bring the economic problems back to a moral basis. To make the public actively conscious of these problems, people representative of all classes will have to be contacted: superintendants of schools, teachers, lawyers, farmers, doctors, and labor leaders. Statistics show that the support of the army and navy alone in the United States costs more than the national income, and all the rest of the public money that is used on edu cation, and other public institutions is borrowed money. Only one per cent of money si>ent by the govern ment is spent on ^education. Think what a revolution and advance civ ilization would make if as much money was spent for peace as is spent for war. War fervor and war-mindedness is to a great extent spread through the influence of the emotions. The play ing of bands, the display of colors, the excitement of parades of men in uniform are all played np to arouse the war spirit in the public. Instead of this war emotion, can’t we arouse a just as fervent feeling for peace in the public breast? In building a platform for peace, there are four planks which will give it firm support: 1. That all business should stand its own risks, 2. That all travellers in times of war take their own risks, 3. That all munitions be manufactured by the government, 4. A position of neutrality be taken. One of the best ways of getting to the public mind is through the Press, by editorials, and by giving the real facts of the expenditures and losses of war, as well as the cost of war in times of peace. Only when we have turned the public mind from war can we hope for Peace. In the afternoon an informal Open Forum discussion was held by Dr. Artman. The main thought left with the students was that more moral values should be placed in our eco nomic, social and political life. Later tea was served to the dele gates by the Y. W. C. A. of the Greensboro Women’s College, with Miss Bessie Breedlove, the presi dent as hostess. The Salem delegates attending the Conference were Eleanor Watkins, A mice Topp, Erika Marx, Margaret Briggs, and Martha Schlegel.

TO RETl There’s going to be a lot of excite ment on Salem College campus Sat urday—especially among the old girls. Wliat everybody’s been look- ing forward to since September 18 is the return of the Rondthalers to Salem, and Saturday is the day! We wouldn't be very much surprised if both Dr. and Mrs. Eondthaler won’t be almost as happy to get back as we will be to have them. Jane reports that they will arrive sometime Saturday night, and as soon as the exact time is discovered, we think it would be a good idea to iiavo it posted on all of tlie bulletin boards, so everybody won’t ask everybody else “Have they come yet ? ” “ When docs the train get in?” etc. Dr. Roudthaler plans to teach his Bible Class on Sunday morning •— and he also expects to be in his of fice Monday morning, so you see , N.

MELROSE HENDRIX SPEAKS ON “THANKS GIVING” AT VESPERS Kenneth Bryan Sings Melrose Hendrix was the speaker at a most impressive Thanksgiving Vesper Service, Sunday evening. In her talk she stressed the importance of Thanksgiving in the life of a Christian and the necessity of giving thanks all during the year and not merely on one day. In the Psalms and in the story of Christ’s life, thankfulness is the main thought. All Christians should bo thankful and give thanks, be cause there is no true Christian who does not liave this spirit. In His life Christ never failed to give thanks before He did deeds of kindness to other people. Thankfullness is a mental need and tliere is no worth- wliile person without it. Truly suc cessful people thank God for their success. We should have this spirit every day" in the year and not only on Thanksgiving day. This holiday of thanks lias lasted longer than any other one, and will continue^ because man feel’s the need in his heart and mind. The man who understands his fellowmen’s needs and wants is truly a person to give thanks. At the conclusion of the talk Ken neth Bryan sang a lovely solo on Thanksgiving. SATURDAY why they didn’t let him come straight home in the first place! He will conduct chapel Tuesday morn ing, too. If, on Monday morning, you see someone hurrying around—stopping with a cheery word for everyone she meets—going down to the infirmary —being a real mother to every Salem girl—even if you can’t see her face, you’ll know it’s Mrs. Hondthaler. It wouldn’t surprise any of us very much if Mrs. Eondthaler doesn’t al ready know the name of every new girl at Salem, and by next week she’ll liave the names and faces tied up together! That’s Mrs. Rond- thaler. Even if they have missed a lot of them back in time for the Christ- our school year, we’re glad to have mas party, the Academy Pageant, and Senior Vespers, and we say to them from the bottom of our hearts —WELCOME HOME! 29, 1935.

STUDENTS TO HOLD CON VENTION INDIANAPOLIS Marx and Schlegel To Represent Salem More arresting is the announce ment that the Twelfth Quadrennial Convention of the Student Volunteer ^Nfovement will meet in Indianajwlis tho last of December than is the news of ])owerful forces attacking governmental polices and menacing international statutes. Twenth-five hundred delegates gathering during their Christmas holiday from several liundred colleges and universities of Canada and the United States, unitedly facing world conflicts and social changes in tlie light of Christian precepts, is a force to be recognized and valued. Kagawa, Japan's great apostle, aflame with the - message of love, justice, and economic freedom; tlie Archbishop of York, William Tem- jile, Great Britian’s Christian states- ten called “the Chinese missionary man of world repute; T. Z. Koo, of- to the Christians of the Occident;” ifrs.

Gonzalo Baez Cam- argo. Secretary of the National Christian Council of Jlexico and John A Jlackay, formerly of Peru, evangelist and author will interpret the tides and problems of the Latin .\merican countries. While Richard Roberts, Moderator of the United Church of Canada, Daniel J. Fleming, Kenneth Scott Latourette, E. Fay Campbell, and Henry P. Van Dusen are among those who may be termed interpreters of the home base. It is gratifying that attending this Convention, which may well be called tho Golden anniversary of the Stu dent Volunteer Mojrement, will be John R. Mott and Robert E. Speer, co-founders with Robert P. Wilder of this great Movement that has fired students with missionary zeal and has been a great factor in hav ing over 13,000 of its members sail for service in 110 mission fields.
