Friday. May 15, 1936. THE SALEMITE Page Three. “UFE BEGINS” Those of you who missed “Life Begins,” not only missed a good ehanee to store up future knowledge of how Junior should behave, but an excellent opportunity to see a normal body’s development depicted. “Life Begins” is a plan on child development produjced by a Yale University Clinic after a research of 25 years. The research was conduc ted by Dr. Arnold Gesell, interna tionally known child psychologist and director of Yale University Clinic of Child Development. He be came convinced that typical normal baby action, if correctly understood and interpreted, were of utmost im portance to science as well as to all interested in the care of children. For the past nine years the eye of the motion picture camera has been focused upon a unique nursery labo ratory at the famous clinic. The vast amount of data compiled, and tho many feet of film exposed have gone into the making of “Life Be gins.” This seven-reel talking picture de picts the normal baby’s development from week to week for the first year of existence. It is a remarkable and authoritative motion picture on child development. ‘SIGHTS AND INSIGHTS’ STAFF ANNOUNCED (Continued From Page One) A.ssociate Business Managers — Ruth Norman and Mary Loui.se McClung.

On the way to Orleans to Nemoui’s flying fleet, a swallow in the heart of day sang above the wheat. On the way to Flanders, in twilight’s gold and grey, far from Nemours the magpie its treasure hid away. Eastward on to Germany and Russia with harsh cry, far away from this land the crows of evening fly. But in my lonely garden, in Nemours’ sheltered vale, all through the starry hour of night chanted the nightin- ^ —Paul Port, (Prench, 1872). “God had not invented memory when he tereated Adam: it was kept for the woman.” —James Branch Cabell. Walter Duranty, author of “I Write As I Please,” which has already sold 40,000 copies has completed a new novel “One Life, One Kopek.” My road calls me, lures me West, east, south and north; Most roads lead men homewards, My road leads me forth. To add more miles to the tally Of grey miles left behind, In quest of that one beauty God put me here to find. —John Masefield. (By Associated Collegiate Press) Now entering his thirty-third year of service is James A Ten. Eyck, famous Syracuse University crew coach. Twenty-five deans out of 81 x>olled at a recent convention said re-enact ment of prohibition would improve conditions on their campuses. Because he leaned too far over a balcony to pour water on a class mate below, a LaFayette College stu dent went to the hospital with a fractured skull. Study of Spanish is rising rapidly in importance and populaity in most U. S. collegs. Prof. Ernest O. Lawrence, Univer sity of California scientist, has sue- eeded in turning platinum into gold. Colgate University is sponsoring a contest to find the best student after dinner speaker. Five hundred undergradutes will take part in the Emergency Peace Campaign this summer. M. I. T. students will build and sell a ‘ ‘ model home ’ ’ every year under a plan just gut into motion. Lake Erie College was the first girls’ school to adopt aviation as part of the regular physical educa tion department program. A Rice Institute student was ex pelled last week because he’d worn shorts to classes since March 1. May 2, not May 10, is Mother’s Day at Georgetown College. Fourteen University of Minnesota students have been assessed fifteen extra credits for graduation for par ticipation in a pajama parade.” A Greek v^e 2800 years old will be used in a Grinnell College dance drama. Chances of employment this June are four times better than they were a year ago, Columbia authorities re pot. An NYU professor sued an A. & P. store for $50,000 for false arrest last week. He got $300. Nine Eastern college hammer throwers have topped 170 feet. World’s record is 189. Mrs. James H. R. Cromwell, the former Doris Duke, ‘ ‘ richest girl, ’ ’ spent two days on the Duke Univer sity campus recently — and wasn’t recognized. CARLTON PALMER GIVES LECTURE AT WEDNESDAY CHAPEL (Continued From Page One) he is finally satified with the re- ault.s. To learn to appreciate art, he sug gests that the student try and catch the spirit and the mood of the artist. An appreciation of all the fine arts depends largely upon our capacity for emotional experience and our ability to enter into the conscious ness of the artist. In the \forld of art, you must learn to cherish your own opinions and value them and not be too much influenced by those of other people. The only way to really know pictures is to notice them constantly, read about them and com pare them. Artists arc given a certain amount of license, and do not necessarily have to paint scenes exactly as they look. A woman once said to George Innis, “I have never seen such col ors in water as are in your pictures and Mr. Innis replied, “No, but don’t you wish you hadT” If, when we are young, we inter est ourselves in the arts and culture in general, we will have laid up a rich store upon which to draw to save us from boredom in old age.

There have been several changes in the Constitution of the Athletic Association, specifically in that part of the Constitution which treats of the point system. These changes will be published in the “Salemite” at a later date. SPINSTERS?? Rather! It was last Saturday night we took that interesting role. Gosh, it was interesting since we are not “spinisters” in the true sense of the word, yet. We little spinsters did some tall stepping \vith local and non-local young “bachelors.” (ap plied in the same sense as “spins ters” — second sentence.) Tall bachelors, short bachelors, bespec tacled bachelors, peroxide blond bachlors (another irresistible Trot- man, oh Mae?), or uniformed bach lors — it made no mind to us just so we didn’t get stuck with any of ’em. But if we did, that could al ways be arranged at the end of a dance by various methods, as: Excuse, please. I must go dance with my uncle (brother, cousin, or date); (use any one), the last of course making the deepest impression on said bachlor whom you have been attempting to shake for two para graphs. We all felt just so grand and in dependent till intermission — and then!! We who had no dates had to roam around like sleep-walkers, thoughts of the cool, cool swimming pool tormenting our sub-conscious minds. Some of us even requested “Lost” in keeping with our mood. But soon we “found” ourselves, dancing with a Siewers, a Woods (pie face), or a Mott, (lucky guys). What lines some of those men threw out, as: “You certainly arc silly.” (whis pered to Ivy); and, “I’m Salmons. You know, just a poor fish.” (whis pered, but we don’t know who to.) Girls, if we can tend to our knit ting like we do our bachelors—what spinsters we’ll make!!! GOLF TOURNAMENT HELD AT COUNTRY CLUB The Woman’s Golf Tournament of the Two Carolinas was held at the Twin City Country Club last week. There were over fifty women who en tered. The tournament was divided into four flights, each having sixteen entrants and a consolation for each flight. In the championship flight, Jane Cothran, Greenville, S. C. was outstanding and won medal honors. It was fitting that the final match should have bwn played between an entrant from each state — Estelle Lawson of Chapel Hill, and Cathryn Hemphill of Columbia, S. C. It was THIS COLLEGIATE WORLD (By Associated Collegiate Press) Automobile Club directors of the country are coming out these days with figues which show that the most alarming increase in traffic fatalities is occuring among high school and college drivers. And speaking of sudden death. Pro fessor L. A. dousing of Northwes tern University is making interest ing studies of carbon monoxide pois oning in automobiles. He stopped 200 cars at random on the highways and discovered one out of 20 had a dangerous concentration of the gas in the air breathed by the driver. He said the gas will cause drowsiness and sleepiness and will slow down reactions, although the driver will never be aware of his condition. Sleepiness and drowsiness, by the way, are being combatted by doctors at the University of Minnesota who have depeloped a little white “anti fatigue” pill. They fed them to two pTofessors who liked the results. “They speed up mental processes and are stimulating for several hours” said the professors. But of course they cannot be used indis criminately and continuously. “Body tissues cannot stand long peiods of sleeplessness” said Dr. Beiter of the pharmacology department. The professors further reported the pills acted like alcohol in that they caused excitement, talkative ness and hilarity. Frank Hausmann, editor of the Loyola News at Loyola Unniversity, did some checking up the other day and found that most college men hate punning, don’t care if their girl friend drinks, since that’s “her own business,” don’t want to spend more than four dollars on any one date and don’t believe in going steady. The rest of the answers we don’t believe: The boys said the perfect girl did not need to have physical attractive ness if she had character, intelli gence and personality! Warning note: Editors at Iowa State College have figured that it costs a student just one dollar every time he cuts a class. Another Iowa editor, over at the state university, deserves honorable mention this week. He rung the yearbook. His yearbook like many other, decided to have a beauty prize winner. The following were selected as judges: One iceman, one plumber and one travelling salesman. Princeton editors express amaze ment that the University of Texas has dropped the honor system of ex aminations. Said the Texas dean: “We realized that under the sys tem we were white-washed hypo crites. ’ ’ It works, it seems, at Prince ton. EPISCOPAL GIRU5 ENTERTAINED The women of St. Paul’s Episco pal Auxiliary will entertain both boarding and day students of Salem College who are members of the church, Saturday afternoon. The girls with their escorts will leave the college at 5:00 going to Forest Hills Farm where they will have a picnic supper. The girls invited are Maud Battle, Betty Gaither, Alice Horsfield, Eleanor Ann Ivey, Cordelia Lowry, Mary C. Nelme, Helen Totten, Peg gy Warren, Grace Whitsett, Eliza beth Piper, Helen Vines, Meta Hutchison, Josephine Hutchison, Laura Elizabeth Bland, and Alice Lee Googe. to have been a 36 hole match, 18 in the morning and 18 in the afternoon, but the morning match ended in a tie; in the afternoon play off. Miss Lawson tied Miss Hemphill again. Three extra holes had to be played before the tie was broken. It is of special interest to ns to know that Miss Lawson was a form er student at Salem.
