Big Miscast

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.

DR. AND MRS.
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

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!

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. Induk Pak, a Korean of ex
ceptional ability and field secretary
of tho Co-operative Committee on
Work Among Rural W^omen; Basil
Mathews, author, publicist, and lec
turer, are overseas speakers who will
be joined by nationals and returned
missionaries of Canada and the
United States. 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
