Never mention another man in con versation with a date. Learn to walk. Don’t dye hair or paint nails brightly. Don’t get sentimental. Learn to cook. George Washington, thinks Prof, J. B. Hedges of Brown University, apparently was not much interested in ideas. In explaining how the whole ti’a ditional picture of Washington has been revamped as a result of recent research, the professor said that Washington was a ‘ ‘ man with a mas terful grasp on material things. ’ ’ He was probably a dull conversational- i.st, added the professor. ‘ ‘ What, ’ ’ asks Columnist Bill Kennedy of the University of Min nesota Daily, ‘ ‘ is so wonderful about Walter Johnson throwing a dollar across tlie Rappahanock — with the dollar infljited the way it is!” The newest organization ariiong colege men is the VFW, a military organization. It means: Veterans of Future Wars, and the organizers maintain they ought to have their bonus through Congress by July at least. It all started with students at the Virginia Military Institute and al ready has a chapter in Alaska, so they say. Salem College and the entire surrounding comnmnity is grateful to Mr. Louis Owen for the gift of the native and Oregon holly tree.s which have been planted on Salem Square by Mr. Robert C. Conrad of Reynolda. A VOTE OF OF THANKS There is a man on Salem Campus who does more than any of us ever realize to make our school days pleasant — I mean Mr. Snavely, that benevolent spirit who presides over the book-store. Not only does he see to it that our favorite candies and crackers are olfered for sale there, but he even has a choice stock of everything from face powder to early Ameri can salt and pepper shakers. Most, important of all, through Mr. Snaveley’s efforts the books offered at the bookstore have become so varied, so interesting and so rasonable that that place has become a sort of campus rendezvous. An excellent selection of new books, as well as new editions of old books, is offered there. Some of his books are particularly lovely, not only as to their illustrations, but also in their make-up. Anyone who has some time to spend to good advantage would (k) well to pay Mr. Snavely a visit and inspect the books — everything from Zweig’s “Marie Antoinette” to du Maurier’s “Peter Ibbetson” — which Mrs. Snavely has kindly secured for the bookstore. There are really some beautiful books there — beautiful as well as excellent in their texts. Thank you, M r. Snavely. THIS COLLEGIATE WORLD (By Associated Collegiate Press) Vou’re ignorant of the realities of life if you’re of college Age, thinks Dr. William Carpenter McCarty of the graduate school of the University of Minnesota. The doctor parcels out your life like this; 1. Pre-birth age of ancestral de fects. 2. Birth to 16 years — age of su preme ignorance, affection and confidence. .■?. Sixteen to 25 — age of energy, optimism, imagination, adven-- ture, discovery, invention and ig norance of the realities of life. A. Twenty-five to 55 — age of ego tism, self-confidence, selfishness, over expansion and frequent mis takes. Fifty-five to death — age of ex perience. wisdom, tolerance, con servatism and simplicity. In addition to being ignorant of the realities of life, you (if you’re a co-ed), are probably also badly spoiled. Or at least so thinks another doc tor, Prof. Charles Reed of North western University University, who thinks the human race is degenera ting, that all us young ’uns are get ting soft. “The daughters,” he says, “are pampered and petted. They don’t get enough sunshine or exercise. They can’t take it the way their grand mothers did.” For Washington’s birthday, the University fo Wisconsin Historical museum displayed autographs, por traits and mementoes of the great General. Of chief interest however, was a white shirt Washington used to wear. On it, written in indelible ink was this, “Geo. Washington No. 8.” Apparently laundries have not changed. The still popular expression, “Oh Yeah?” is not as inconsequential as one might think, according to a speaker at Hunter College. “It is tragic in its implications,” he said, “It is as eloquent of world weariness as the bitterest cry of the disillusioned from Ecclesiastes down to Dreiser and Lewis. It bri.stles with challenge. ’ ’ And those of us who have to lis ten to it — we bristle too. Professor Lyman Bryson of Teach ers’ College, Columbia University, would like to rewrite English a bit so that the eighth-grade mind could comprehend the involved questions of the day. Ho gathered a “simplification” staff of three persons — a pulp fic tion writer, a professional advertis ing man and a graduate student in English literature. The test he gave them to determine their ability was this: They had to re-write a recent column of W'alter’s Lipj)man’s in the words of Arthur Brisbane. The ‘ ‘ Dartmouth, ’ ’ commenting on the fact that West Point no longer will have girl dancing instructors for the cadets because the young ladies disturb the equilibrium of the boys, remarks that army people have an annoying habit of using techni cal terms for just about everything. MUSIC CHAPEL ON THURSDAY Y.W.QA. News On Sunday, March 15, a group of girls representing the Student Vol unteer group at Greensboro College, will come to Salem. During the aft ernoon they will meet with the Salem College Student Volunteer Group, and all members of this group who have been attending the Sunday morning meetings, are urged to come. The Greensboro College girls will be in charge of the Vesper pro gram Sunday evening. « » « The North Carolina Student Vol unteer Conference will be held in Greensboro on March 20, 21, and 22, and we hope Salem will be well rep resented there. Dr. John Mackay, internationally known leader in the Student Volunteer Movement, will bo the leading speaker at the con ference. Another speaker will be Dr. Charles Logan, at one time a missionary to Japan, and one of the two men. who converted Toyohiko Kagawa. This conference will be to many a real ‘ ‘ mountain-top ex perienco, ‘ ‘ and especially to those who are interested in foreign mission service. » # « Last Sunday afternoon Virginia Grumpier, head of the Community Service Committee of the Y. W. C. A., took a group of girls out to the Chil dren’s Home. The trip was interest ing as well as a delightful experience. Sometime in the near future, Vir ginia plans to take a group out to the Winston-Salem Teachers’ College. * « « “Y” Cabinet members are still selling Peace Bonds. By buying one, you can do your share in helping the Natonal Council for Prevention of War in its great peace program. « * « Mary Hart will represent the Col lege Y. W. C. A. tonight at a banquet given for some of the youth organ izations of the city at the city Y. W. C. A, Miss Carrie Leo Weaver will be in charge. IN FUN A professor who comes in ten min utes late is rare. In fact he’s in a class by himself — Man is but a worm, he comes, squirms about a bit, and then some hen gets him—Illini. 1st: A’f” ‘Where did you get the WHO’S WHO AT SALEM MARTHA AND ERIKA Often Seen Together Two girls with a bright smile and a Pennsylvania brogue — Erika Marx and Martha Schlegel. As room mates at school and neighbors in Nazareth, Pa., they see a great deal of each other. Both are home eco nomics majors, and both aspire to be missionary workers and, perhaps, good German “ Hausfrauen. ” Erika was five years old when she came to Nazareth, Pa., in 1919. Until then she had lived in Poo, Tibet, where her parents were stationed as missionaries. She spent happy days playing with Tibetan children in a land which is known as “the top of the world. ’ ’ In her German home only German and Tibetan were spok en. It was on board ship coming to America that she learned enough English to accomodate a five year old. Except for the few years during which Erika lived in Minnesota, she and Martha were together, pledging themselves to bo “bosom friends.” Like other Lttle girls they played dolls, went barefoot, and planned what they would do when they grew up. Erika was going back to Tibet, and Martha had decided that har ing a husband would be nice. (Both think now tiat they were a bit too hopeful, but what about Mac and the boy in Georgia t). High School days were filled with excitement. There were hockey games, ice-skating, the school paper, and the annual; both Martha and Erika figured conspiciously in thes* activities. Erika was editor of “The Blue and White Standard,” the high school paper, and Martha was pho tography editor of the annuap. Both girls’ sisters had graduated from Salem. Erika and Martha, vio lently excited and very idealistic, came to Salem, two girls with long curling hair and Northern brogues. At Salem Erika and Martha be came members of the Order of the Scorpions, efficient “Y” workers, and interested in sports. This year Erika is president of Y. W. C. A. and Martha is associate editor of the Salemite. They confess that their favorite pastime is attending con ventions; and they speak wistfully of Blue Ridge, Indianapolis, etc. Martha likes poetry, German, and goi"g to conventions. She also likes 2nd: “I played on the Navy foot-i P'-O'>o«'>ce Schlegel cor- ballteam.” ‘ Her eccentricity might be 1st: “Yeah, but Navy begins with Preference of writing letters i. an ‘N’.” 2nd: “I know it. I played on the second team.” —The Log. I bought a wooden whistle, but it wouldn’t whistle; I bought a steel whistle, and still it wouldn’t whistle; so I bought a tin whistle, and now t ’n whistle.—Rotunda. College Bred: A four year loaf with plenty of crust made out of Dad’s dough — add similes: As lousy as the love scene of a Saturday movie.—Davidsonian. Loving Mother: Son, do I smell tobacco on your breath t Son; Yes, mother L. M.: Well, you’ll have to stop going out with those girls.—The Technique. “A sound idea gone all wrong” says Prof. Karl Douglass about the American junior college. Mr. Doug lass, of the University pf Minnesota, maintains the two-year junior col leges are largely duplicating the work of the eleventh and twelfth grades in high school. Thursday morning chapel was the occasion for another enjoyable music program. Mr. Albert Blumenthal ac companied by Miss Dorothy Thomp son played a violin solo, Romance, the second movement of the Wieni- aw.sky Concerto. This selection was quite beautifully rendered. The students want to thank Mr. Schofield for planning these interest ing chapel programs. Adam: “Eve, you’ve just put my dress suit in the salad again.” —The Log. 1st student: Our history teacher talks to himself, does yours f 2nd ditto: Yes, but he thinks we are listening to him.—Dovidsonian. A male student at the University of Minnesota found his name a source of confusion to the faculty. His^ name was Marion. The limit was reached when he received a let ter from the dean of women. He re plied: “Dear Deanie: I am room ing over in the men’s dorm, and the boys are just darling!” —Davidsonian. Well Gals, I haven’t been out sleuthing in so long that I don’t know “nothin” ’cept: That Tempe Green thinks Black- well is such a “purty” name — Mildred Troxler is no longer fickle. Has she found her one and onlyt — and Virginia Lee is that way over Dick — The new spring fashion here certainly, it is an accom plishment. She says her vice i* talking to fast, and she giggles and says ‘ ‘ Ich bin schusslich, ’ ’ which, of course, she isn’t Her ambition ii. to do missionary work, but she plans to teach home economies next year. She loves to drive a car, and has am affection for ice cream. Erika, who busilj' practice teache* and heads the “Y. ”, is quite modest about her week-end visitor, but Martha says that there is a letter im the mail box everyday, thanks to Mac. Erika also wants to engage in missionary work. She writes poet ry and says she is still an idealist, in spite of her childhood dreams of perfection. Erika’s hope for every one is that they may have happiness. (She seems very happy herself!) Two lives run along so close togetk- er are often alike. Erika and Mar- that approach a certain likeness, and that likeness is not an unpleasant one. We like both of them very much. is “Laundry Bag P.J’s ask the girlt on second in Alice Clewell about ’em — Annette Smith is in love vrith a certain co-ed. Could Mary C. be getting competition t — Mary Grier wants to go to Magnolia Gardens Easter — y’know why! She met • Cute” boy' from Charlest05i, Of course — Jo Gibson you kind of keep the phone busy every night— which one talks the most, you or him — Marianna Redding better hold her man, he’s in danger of be ing nabbed by a certain Soph. — Wonder if Pauline D. will divide her attentions between two drug stores i* Mocksville nowf That’s all.
