Friday, November 29, 1935. THE SALEMITE Page Three. ON THE CAMPUS AND OFF AGAIN Every))ody is going away this week-end, which explains why there were only a few away last week-end. Nancy McNeely spent the week end with Grace Carpenter, an alum na, at her home in Statesville. Lois Berkey was Oarolj'n Eack- cliffo’s guest at Carolyn’s home in Raleigh. Mary Frances Hayworth spent the week-end at her home in High Point. Margaret Sears spent the week end at her home in High Point. THE STAY-AT-SALEM’S HAD FUN, TOO. Wednesday afternoon — every body leaving except a handful of rather sad-looking folks trying to tell everybody goodbye with a cheer ful face. But they secretly felt rather sorry for themselves. Well, after everybody had gone, spirits began to rise, and homesick ness was forgotten. Unheard of privileges were granted to the little Stay-at-Salem’s — not to mention sleeping late and not going to class es 1 Thanksgiving dinner at the Acad emy was fun — even the swimming over there. The college girls and faculty were met in the reception hall by the Academy girls and facul ty. Soon they were taken in to din ner, where prim little Pilgrims adorned the tables, and turkey and cranberries and everything “Thanks giving was served. Coffee was served afterward in the dining-hall. Silence reigned in the dormitory at night v?hen all the Stay-at-Sal em’s went to the movies. In the opinion of the serious-mind ed class of 1910 at Princeton, things to be desired at that university are music with dinner and dinner with out scrambled eggs, larger cream pitchers at all times, the addition of co-eds and abolition of classes. Otherwise, say the frosh, the place is all right. PRESBYTERIAN GIRLS GIVEN LOVELY DINNER Many girls wished they, too, were Presbyterians just for Thursday night, as the Presbyterian Church en tertained the Salem girls of this de nomination with a lovely banquet. Football was the appropriate theme of the dinner. The dining room was decorated with autumn leaves, footballs, peanuts and football place cards. Before the turkey was brought on, the Salem girls rose to sing “Stand I'p and Cheer.” This was followed by fifteen rahs for Salem, given by the escorts. After singing “TTark, the Sound of Tar Heel Voices” and “On, Davidson,” short speeches o([ welcome were given by Frances Alexander, Charles Wood, and Mrs. Coy Joyce. The food was lovely. On the menu was turkey, cranberry sauce, dress ing, mashed potatoes, carrots and peas, hot rolls, butter, pecan ice cream, and cake. When dinner was finished each table participated in a limerick con^ test. To qualifjf the limerick must have contained the words; “touch down,” “yard,” “pep,” “half back, ” “ crack, ’ ’ and ‘ ‘ Rose Bowl. ’ ’ As there was a tie the prize, a box of candy, was divided between the two winning tables. Charles Wood was master of cere monies, There were approximately 10,") present at the dinner. Like an Eskimo Belle Schiaparelli gives a Paris girl the look of an Eskimo belle.

LAUGHTOM IbVEAR IN THE ROLE cf CAPTAIN BLI6H- IN "MUTINVon theBOUNT>-| With Thanksgiving just over and the Christmas parties looming large ahead, it is time to think of evening clothes. Here are a few hints and suggestions that might prove valu able on that hurried pre-holiday shopping trip: Braping is probably the most im portant thing about new evening dresses. Shirring, gathering and folding beautiful fabrics seems to be the favorite pastime of all the famous designers. Fullness may be in front or in the back but it is al ways there. Skirts, with some exceptions, are neither wide nor scant, but comfort ably full. Many of them curve up in folds of .shirring at front to give a gently molded hip line and a for ward flare. Lengths remain about the same. If the hem escapes the ground at front and trails the least bit at back you may be sure of a graceful line. Tiny .shoulder straps hold up the low fronts and low^er backs of necklines that are again really de collete, cut dow'n to deep points at points at front and wide back U or V shapes. Higher necks are still worn, however, and plenty of dresses swirl up to the throat at front, dip ping almost to the waist at back. Separate jackets are important. Some look like blouses to transform your evening gown into a two-piece dinner dress. There are long tunics with wide sleeves and slit backs and there are short fitted jacket? with becoming revers. The perfect evening wrap is a cape that sweeps majestically from shoulder to floor. If it has a hood, so much the smarter and decidedly the more comfortable on cold gusty nights. A black velvet cape goes with anything, but a deep jewel- toned velvet has more glamour. U0i^ IT'^ TRUE!

CAROLINE MILLER HEARD IN LECTURE IN GREENSBORO Caroline A^iller spoke Monday night, November 25, in the Aycock Auditorium at Woman’s College in Greensboro on “Fiction Writing and Writers of the South.” Mrs. Miller, whose novel, “Lamb in Ilis Bosom,” was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Prix Femina, was born August 26, 1903 in Way- cross, Georgia. She has lived all her life in south Georgia, until five yeara ago when she married William D. Miller. W'riting has never come between her and her husband or chil dren, because she is a good wife and mother as well as a writer. Her greatest ambition is to .write anoth er book which will be as popular as her first, and she is now writing her second novel. Harry Hansen has said of Mrs. Miller’s novel, “Her people are a part of the natural scene, close to the soil. This gives her story a poetic richness rarely found in novels of southern farm life.” Several members of the faculties of Salem College and Academy had the opportunity to hear Ciirolyn !Mil- ler speak when she w'as in Greens boro.

THIS COLLEQIATE WORLD II (By .\ssociated Collegiate Press) A lot of earnest young American canipus debaters are having sad ex periences meeting the present Ox ford and Cambridge teams which are touring the country. English debate tactics never seein to change, but unfortunately tlieii* American opiwnents never get wise. It is a common assertion that the Oxford Union provides the best de bate training in the world, although it seems to consist of an ability to charm the audience, to maintain comi>lete nonchalance, to spin merry tales. American students, on the other hand, bone up for weeks, outline their case concretely and spew forth facts and figures at a terrific rate— all ef which the Englishmen wave airily aside as so much amusing rub bish. ■* * * We know of one case, however, where the Britishers did not ignore statistics. In fact, they made tre mendously effective use of them and won their debate hands down. One of their team arose to his feet and with a rather weary air said, “We knew our opponents would simply devastate all of us with their statistics. We have decided we can best answer them with statistics of our own, which we will now give to you. ’ ’ Whereupon lie unwound a long, long roll of paper until it touched the floor, then gathered it all up and tossed it over the footlights! * « » Now that the brave deeds and words of Will Rogers are being sys tematically unearthed for those who loved the man, we might quote the quip of Will’s which is the only one we remember: It came after ho had been granted an honorary degree at some college. Said the comedian: “I knew they gave college degrees for nearly every kind of ignorance, but I didn’t know they gave any for my kind.” Dean Ackerman of the Columbia school of journalism — in quiet ser ious vein— agrees with Will. 'rhe Dean made his report to the president of Columbia the other day and declared that a college degree is .1 useless criterion for determining the fitness of a newspaper man. He made a powerful attack on the whole American system of awarding credits to anyone who can simply fill certain quantitive requirements. « « * College prexies, it seems, are just as divided as college students over the question of pacifist activities on the campus. At the recent meeting of the Association of Urban Univer sity Presidents, a resolution condem ning such activities lost by a vote of 18 to 4. The (juestion is not dead, however. We predict something of a bomb shell in educational circles in the next few weeks when the president of the University of Minnesota lets go a speech he is carefully preparing. For months he has been gathering evidence of the “exploitation of college students by outside pressure groups.” He includes, apparently, both pacifist and military, agnostic and religious, reactionary and Com munist. * » « We admire the spirit of the stu dent in a big school who got .awfully tired of never finding a chair in the library Eventually he walked up to the clerk in the “reserve” room and uttered this serious plaint: “Ex cuse me, Mis.s, but could 1 possibly reserve a couple of seats for next Fridaj' night?” * * * Furthermore, heretical tho we may be, we admire the spirit of the boy at the University of Southern Cali fornia who nicely answered a query put by his instructor. The man had said, “W'hat do you suppose the Eskimos do to keep from starving in the long winter monthst” “They eat,” said the lad.
