A FUTURE SALEM ALUMNA SPEAKS WAR LORD’S PRAYER (A. C. P.) Thirty years ago Mark Twain, beloved giant of Aniei iean letters, wrote the “War Tjord’s Prayer,” with instructions that it be published only after his death. » “I have told the whole truth in that prayer,” he said, “and only dead men can tell the truth in this world. It can be published after I am dead.” Here’s his prayer: “0, Lord, our God, he!]) us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to covei- their smiling fields with the pale form of their patriotic dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the groans of the wound ed, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help ns to wing the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriend ed through wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sport of the sun flames of summqr and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it — for our sakes, who adore Thee, Lord blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their .steps, water their w^ay with their teal’s, stain the white snow witli the blood of their wounded feet! We ask of One who is the spirit of love and who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset, and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Orant our prayer, 0 Lord, and Thine shall be the praise and honor and glory, now and ever. Amen.” SHALL WE COMPETE (From p]astern Kentucky State Teachers College EASTERN PR'OGRESS) Beyond a dou'l)t Germany has violated the Olympic Code. She has disregarded the universal doctrine of good sportsman ship by depriving many individuals because of their racial or political affiliations, the right to represent Germany in the 1936 Olympiad. Certainly it is no affair of our what method Germany uses to select her Olympic team, but when those methods are flagrant violations of the Olympic Sports Code, it is our duty as upholders of clean sportsmanship to refuse to have anything to do with the Olympic Games in Berlin. Not only are German sports controlled by the govern ment, a fact which automatically bars Jews, but no Catholic or Pi’otestant athlete may compete for a position on the Ger man Olympic team unless he is a member of the Reich Asso ciation for Physical Culture. It is needless to add that no one may become a member of this a.ssociation if he holds any belief other than the Nazi viewpoint. The amateur code provides that no amateur can main tain his amateur standing who competes \\”ith one who has vio lated the sportsmanship code. This code states that no ama- Wheu I am a rich Salem Alumna, t’m going to see to it that Salem’s ship comes in, as far as possible! There are just loads and loads of things that I could give, such as radios for all the rooms and llavi- land China to use every day in the dining-room, but my tastes are a little different from those. Well, one of the first things I’d give would be a pad and pencil to hang up in the dining-room for Sun day mornings — when the poor Sen iors rack their brains trying to re member post office box numbers and combinations. You know, no one ever has anything to write it down with or on! I’d install several elevators ip Alice Clewell Building — and maybe in Louisa Bitting, although I think the Seniors really need that exer cise, as they no longer have to take physical Education. If I could, I’d give some andirons and some new logs to the “Y” Cabinet Room, not to mention a wtiole new suite of furniture — should it be done in blue leather? And — oh — “The Salcmite—I’d Efive it a private printing press so it could have the printers run down liore instead of having it running up town every so often—to carry those l)elated articles of such “Salemites” as Mi.-;sus Schlegel and Hart! If I couldn’t got the private printing press, 1 ’d have television installed between Salem and the printers, so the “Salemite” could be proof read from headquarters. And the plush carpet that I would put in the library—and the silent switches on the lights—why you’ll be surprised to come back and find all this true! One of my popular donations would be fur-lined .shin-guards and hockey mittens for these cold days. Be sides. I’d get a little hockey player car that could be filled up with play ers to ride up the hill to the dormi tory after the game. If I decided to give new hockey sticks, I’d certainly give at least twenty-two — all alike, and then there wouldn’t be as much squabbling over ’em. I’d love to donate a whole lot of pictures with no water in the scen«'y to Alice 'Clewell living-room. Maybe you ’ve never noticed, but the only one there that doesn’t have water in it has a lot of snow, and we’re expecting it to melt any time now. If any one has any suggestions as to some other things I might give— I’d appreciate ’em. .lust address all such suggestions to Future Salem Alumna, care of this office. STATE-WIDE YOUTH CONFERENCE OPENED TODAY The annual state-wide youth con ference opened today at the First Baptist Church in this city. The keynote address of the confer ence was made this afternoon by Dr. Jessie M. Brady of New York, Sec retary of evangelism, with the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. He is chairman of the national youth committee which s]>onsors these conferences, and will be dean of tlie conference hero. At 5:30 this afternoon a banquet was held under the direction of Miss Carrie Lee Weaver. Dr. G. Ray Jor dan, pastor of Centenary Methodist Church will .speak at a meeting at 8 o’clock tonight. Salem College girls are taking an active part in the Conference. De- votionals conducted by Centenary Chucrh were under the direction of Mary Matthews and the Y. W. C A. of Salem College i.s to lead devotion- als on the subject “A New Person.” The college is entertaining the Conference at tea, Saturday after noon at 4:00. THEATRE NEWS The Carolina Theatre offers for next week: ‘ ‘ Mary Burn.s, Fugitive, ’ ’ and “Top Hat.”* “Mary Burns, Fugitive” with Sylvia Sidney and Meloyn Douglas plays Monday and Tuesday and the laet four days of the week “Top Hat” will be offered, The latter picture, with Rogers and Astaire and the Berlin song hits, promises to be very good. The plot is much the same as the “Gay Divorcee” but the picture should be made excellent by the dancing of Astaire and Rogers and the music. Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Berlin songs — what more could a picture offer? THE REV. MICKEY SPEAKS IN CHAPEL The Reverend E. T. Mickey spoke in chapel Tuesday morning. He stated that man works objec tively to control nature and subjec tively for God to control him. Col lege students often doubt God, but when we make a study of the sci ences we see that really there is no sufficient explanation for anything except that God is there. JANE RONDTHALER GIVES READING IN CHAPEL iMiss Evabelie Covington had charge of Saturday’s chapel pro gram. She stated that a course in Economics should help us understand our present depression. She introduced Miss Jane Rond- thaler who gave a humorous reading, written in the style of “Alice in Wonderland.” It was by Harold Cal- lendar and gave a comic but clear picture of our financial muddle. AROUND WASHINGTON Dr. Francis Waylrind Adams, Am herst ’(>2, is one of the oldest col lege alumni living. V\'orld-wide education is the great est factor for i>eace, .says Harvard’s Dean Roscoe Pound. Athletic ability of men entering college is increasing yearly, accord ing to experimenters at the ITni- versity of California at Los Angeles. 1 sr a ' ' .Toe I.ouis, heavyweight sensation, is said to enjoy a chicken dinner- providing there are five chickens, vegetables, and two quarts of milk. '*• rj ■ Business is on the upswing and veering more and more toward gov ernment control, says Dean Roswell C. McCrea of Columbia University School of Business. Twenty-six Greek manuscripts of the New Testament are owned by the TTniversity of Chicago. It is the second largest collection in the country. Don’t marry a girl who’s late for dates, says Dr. Alfred Adler, noted Viennese psychologist, and don’t marry a man to “save him.” Columbia University scientists have devised a test to measure the effect of propaganda on the individual. teur athlete be deprived of the right of competition because of race, color or creed. Germany has violated this code ^\ith- out reservation. The following is a memorandum compiled by Mr. Guy Hickock, Special Correspondent for the JlcClure NeAvspaper Syndicate, which appeared in the pre.ss of the country in Sep tember. This is self-explanatory as to the discrimination against the persecution of minorities in Germany: Werner Schlottman, 200 meter man, scratched, ilarta Jakob, javelin thrower, out. Harry Stein, flyweight boxer, out. Frau Freidle- bom, tennis champ, ruled off courts. Jakob Levy, dash-man, too good for Nazi sprinters. Benjamin Stadtlander, amateui' welterweight champ, stripped of title. Eric Seelig, middle weight champ, dethroned and exiled. Dr. Edwin Frankel President Southeast German Athletic Federation, ousted. Dr! Gustav Germann, organizer of women’s athletics, ousted. Dr. Prenn, twice on Davis Cup Team, ban-ed from competition. How can we, the upholders of clean sportmanship and de- Tioci'acy, enter into athletic competition with a nation Avhich las destroyed the decent pi’inciples of sport? By Arnold Serwer (.Associated Collegiate Press Correspondent) Washington, I). C.—Oddenda of T^e Week— Louis Carter, more » popularly knoivn as Jay Franklin, who is the Resettlement Administration’s press relations chief, has with his assist ant, Kenneth Clark, been very suc cessful in handling the newsmen that come to Resettlement’s executive offices in the Department of Agricul ture’s new South building. Report ers searching for some live item on the Resettlement program are taken into Carter’s office and there given semi-confidential information on some phase of the work, information that is interesting but not damaging, but which resembles inside stuff closely enough to boost the report ers’s status with his editor. Satis fied, the newsman goes off, feeling that what he has is more important than ahything he might have dug up through a series of questions on the program as a whole. * * * Ex-President Hoover, in his speech before the Ohio Society of New York, in speaking of Washington’s New Deal planners and administrators, referred to them as “starry-eyed youngsters.” The phrase implies an excess of idealism combined with naivete. The average age of the key men in this group* is probably close to 40. Moreover, these '.‘young sters, after three years spent under barrage of outside criticism are anything but “starry-eyed.” They are very much aware of the short comings of their own planning. Part of this awareness comes from the fact that they’re capable of re garding their own work with a crit ical attitude. And part of this aware ness is the result of internal criti cism their plans have received from within their own administrations. It seems that their assistants, even younger then they, are always point ing out weaknesses in administrative structure, the critical attitude ap parently being the strongest among those with the fewest years. The eye turned upon each now develop ment of their chief’s program by each of these j'oung assistants in the different emergency agencies is more likely to be a jaundiced eye than a “starry” eye. ' ♦ » * In 1930 The Dailj- Cardinal, stu dent daily of the University of Wis consin, had for its editorial chairman a very outspoken young man named Forrest Allen A very able writer, capable of first rate editorial satire. Forrest Allen. A very able writer, about as popular mth the faculty a.s a pay cut before Christmas. Any thing done by the conservatives on the faculty that Mr. Allen, didn’t approve of was promptly followed by a stinging editorial in The Daily Cardinal. And there wasn’t very much they did that Mr. Allen ap proved of. Today Forrest Allen is rumored to be drawing down a .salary of $8,000 a year, as an Assistant Co-ordinator of the TVA.
