I’m NOT going to neglect until May 20th such vital issues as (1) reading assignments in text-books, (2) writing lengthy term papers, (3) drawing countless dia grams, and (4) reading numerous novels.” That, in short, is the typically universal resolution adopted by college students after the wear and tear of mid-term exams is past. But do we ever live up to this highly worthy resolution? Seldom. If we would intelligently schedule our work (and follow the .schedule, of course), we would not be rushed, worried, and hectically harrassed during the last week of school. So why not tear out a clean, white sheet of paper from your little notebook and set down a sort of a skeleton schedule to follow. With grim determination tack said schedule on a prominent spot on the wall of your room (persons with artistic eye 'could neatly frame it), and consult it whenever you feel exuberantly ambitious. Make it a point to feel definitely ambitious at least four times a week, and by the middle of May, you will be serenely sailing toward exams, without any distractingly urgent work depress ing your mind. WHAT CAN THE STUDENTS DO? Do you remember the condition of the Hut last year? It was deplorable. Do you recall the niunber of times basketball games had to be postponed because the Hut leaked? It was an noying to have to stand in two inches of water while hoarsely attempting to spur the class team on to greater achievement. This year, sad to say, the Hut not only leaks but the ceiling in many places is beginning to lean toward the floor. This con dition adds very little to the attractiveness of the Hut. It doesn’t make Salem girls want to take visitors to see it. Another sad fact is that the heating conditions are ex tremely poor. There have been a number of colds at Salem this year and each cold has been one too many. The fact that stu dents have been able to wear sweat pants has been a great help toward keeping warm and preventing colds, but even so, if the gym were kept w'arm for the girls at Salem, I believe there would be less illness. What can the students do about it? EDUCATION DEPART- MENT AND STUDENT TEACHERS ENTER TAIN AT TEA (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) Margaret Lumpkin at Reynolds; Martha Schlegel, Home Economics II with Miss Ardena Morgan at Bey- nolds; Gertrude Schwalbe, Algebra II with Mr. M. S. Eose at Reynolds; Janet Stimpson, General Science with Miss Ruth Meiuung at South School; Sarah Thompson, Social Science III with Miss Flavella Stockton at North School; Lois Torrence, Eng lish 9B with Miss Mozelle Stephen son at South School; and Etta Burt Warren, Dramatics with Miss Clara Tiller at South School. Which is the most worthwhile — a heart full of love or a heart full of candy? Salem girls find both very nice to have, and of course, as you might expect, Salem girls have both! Especially during the past week have there been numerous hearts full of candy seen around in these parts, for after all, today is Valentine’s. St. Valentine must have been a wise old fellow and a very though- ful person. We don’t doubt that he' considered Salemites in this matter. He is symbolized especially by red hearts—and they are cheery symbols. When you were ’way back in the grades, remember the valentine box es — with the homemade valentines in them? “Ross are red, Violets are blue, Sugar i.s sweet. And so are you! It was the most exciting moment when you got yours. And it’s juat as wonderful to you now when you get a big red heart from Carolina, Duke, State or anywhere. Half the fun in Valentine’s Day is sending Valentines to mother and dad. It’s nice to be able to tell them how much you love them, in that way. W« hope you got your share today!

FOUNDERS’ DAY PARTY GREAT SUCCESS “The Party” is over, the eagerly anticipated, much-talked of occasion has come and gone, and did it live up to our expectations? We’ll say! Even our most elaborate day dreams about the fun we were going to have underrated the fun that we did have I refer, of course, to the party held last Saturday night in Alice Clewell Recreation Room, for juniors and seniors, visiting alumnae and trus tees, and a group of young men. Music furnished by The Broad casters added much to the fun and multi-colored crejx; artistically ar ranged and soft lights showed to ad vantage the many lovely gowns and correct coiffures worn by the Sale mites. Refreshing punch was served throughout the ev'ening which passed all too quicklyly for us. Speaking for all the guests, I want to express my deep, appreciation to those who made this delightful and enjoyable evening possible and the such excell ent chaperones as Mr. McEwen and Mary Louise Mickey who saw to it that everyone had a grand time. I have heard that the boys consider it a great privilege to be asked to come to Salem, and if last Saturday night was a sample of Salem parties, we don’t wonder. “WHAT NOT TO BE LIKE” SUBJECT OF TALK The Rev. Mr. Gordon Spaugh spoke in (chapel, Tuesday morn^nng, on “What not to be like.” Rev. Spaugh gave four instances of people not to imitate. First, the basically sel fish person; sencond, the man who doesn’t grasp opportunities; third, the untruthful person; and, last, the man who cannot hold his temper. SCIENCE STUDENTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tilation and air movement. We must recognize the difference between ven tilation and air movement Ventila tion is the process of exchanging air out of doors with air in the room; air movement is simply motion of the air inside the room. Both factors play an important part in perfect air-conditioning. The relative humidity of most rooms on our campus is extremely low. We learned from Mr. Bahnson that air takes in twice as much moisture for ev'ery 20 degree rise in temperature. If we would supply more moisture to the air in our heat ed buildings we would not only lower the number of colds and make the room more comfortable, but we would also decrease the costs of fuel. Mr. Bahnson .showed tables of rela tive humidity and charts illustra ting the “comfort line” for tem perature and humidity. The percentage of humidity best for working various products such as cotton, rubber, silks, woolens, pa per, tobacco, etc., was discussed with an outline of diffiealties, costs, and advantage of air-conditioning. GERALDINE GYM-SUIT RESCUED In last week’s Salemite there was the exciting story of Geraldine Gym- Suit and the villian, Harry Hut. At the end of the story there was this question: “Wha will save Geraldine Gym-Suit from Harry Hut?” Well this my dears, answers the question. Listen carefully. On a cold day in the fall (of ’46), Hortense Hockey and Annabelle At were talking over the imminent danger that Geraldine was in from Harry Hut, and his partner in crime, Beowulf Basketball. Well, they knew they must continue to save Geraldine Gym-Suit from the green menaces, so they called in Gertrude Golf and Teresa Tennis to talk it over. They decided that they would pick a day when the weather fore cast said rain and more rain, and give a dance at the home of Harry Hut. So they did, and they invited all of the most influential people they knew to attend, and for once tho weather forecast was right. Did it rain? Whew — it simply poured in “torrence.” Why, they served punch, and it rained right into the punch-bowl so that it ran over. Beo wulf Basketball, who saw that it was all up with Harry Hut, made the most of the opportunity, and apolo gized to Geraldine Gym-Suit. In fact, he was so impressed with her beauty that he and she made a good many engagements for that winter. As for Harry Hut, he was com pletely demolished, and there was erected a monument in memory of his defteat. This monument was. named for Geraldine, and was called the Geraldine Gymnasium. Geraldine was very appreciative for all that had been done for her, for although she hadn’t ever shown it to anyone, Geraldine Gym-Snit possessed a great, admiration and loyalty to her friends, especially Annabelle At! STUDENT VOLUNTEER GROUP ASKS FOR CO-OPERATION Noble Activity of Group Elxplained How many of we fellow-students on Salem Campus are aware of our selves as missionaries; how many of us, in the close friendships and fel lowships which are possible only on a college campus, are helping others to find Christ by sharing our experi ence with, and knowledge of, Him? Aren’t all of us apt to let thoughts of clothes, parties, dates, studies, shows — things which seem so im portant at the moment — become up permost in our minds, while we neg lect furthering our experience of Christ, and our serving Him? The time we spend here on earth is but a moment compared with the Eternity after death; yet how many of us are giving all thought and en- to the attaining of worldly rank, pleasure, wealth and station, laying up treasures on earth “where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where theives break through and steal.” Every day offers new opportunities to serve Christ and to spread His Kingdom to those around us, but how often we let these opportunities slip by, and think that tomorrow there will be plenty of time to help someone who needs guidance and understanding; and that later when there is more time we will be able to sit down and read the Bible, or seek a closer fellowship with Christ. Fellow students, let’s make Christ our Cause now — let’s join togeth er in spreading His Kingdom to those around us. Every Sunday morning at 9:00 o’clock, the Stu dent Volunteer Group meets in the “Y” Room for mission study, pray er, and discussion. It’s only a small group, but with God’s help it can work wonders; and we are asking those of you who are interested in advancing Christ’s Kingdom, those of you who are seeking to find Christ and to serve Him, to come to these meetings, and support them with your prayers, your interest, your enthusiasm, and your faith.
