POLITICAL
ENTHUSIASM
Were you one of the people that became infected with
enthusiasm during the prsidntial campaign? This was as much
a hot bed of politics as the Democratic or Republican Head
quarters themselves. Everyone was either strongly for Roose
velt or Landon, and it was not an unusual thing to see girls
gathered in a room, hotly discussing the candidates, their good
and bad points. And hot discussions they were too, for such
things as, “He’s just wrecking the country, that’s all!” and
“He’s absolutely right on that point!” could be heard. Why,
anyone listening in would think we were seasoned politicians
that knew everything that was happening.
Some of us almost came to a parting of the ways if any
one disagreed about our favorite man. Many Roosevelt but
tons and Landon sunflowers were in eviden;e. Some of the
girls even went so far as to decorate their letters with phrases
such as “Vote for Roosevelt,” and “We want the New Deal
Again.” Many of us were heard saying “I think Landon is
wonderful,” and “Isn’t Roosevelt the sweetest man you’ve ever
seen!” ‘
And as for the night of the election, the whole school
gave up everything else to listen to returns. And whenever
there was a big majority for Roosevelt, loud were the lamenta
tions, or the cheers.
THE COLLEGIATE
REVIEW
(By Associated Collegiate Press)
The conduct course now being of
fered at the University of West Vir

ing, making a budget, and spending
leisure time.

dent at Ohio State University, ex
pects to live in a sixteen-foot trailer
with liis wife and dog for the next
three years.

the cleanest milk in that state, says
Doctor Clarence E. May, of the chem
istry department, who tests milk from
each of the 31 Bloomington dairies

San Jose State College is now send
ing out life-time athletic passes to
graduates who while students, proved
their high quality in the field of
sports.
Henry Ford the second, grandson
of the automobile manufacturer, is
now a freshman at Yale.
The registrar at the University of
Oklahoma proved statistically that
students with the thinnest wallets
get the most “A’s” when two state
legislators complained that the $3
“flunking fee’ is a hardship on poor
students.
Activities of Associated Students
of the University of California last
year showed a net profit of $159,-
872.02.

STUDENT PERSONALITIES
MARY LOUISE «
^ HAYWOOD
The first weeks of school we miss
ed the fair-haired, blue-eyed girl
with the sweet ready smile. Since
Mary Louise is one of our most pop
ular and influential Day Students,
all of Salem were glad to see her
roaming the campus once more. Since
it would be impossible to enumerate
all the honors this charming Miss
has received, you shall be reminded
of those received in the last two
years. Her junior year she was elect
ed Treasurer of the Student Body,
stung by the Scorpions and belonged
to the Salemite Staff. This year, her
Senior year, she is Vice-President of
the Student Body and an associate
editor on the Salemite Staff. Being
an all-round friendly girl withan at
tractive pc’^rsonality, intelligence and
wit, her friends will tell you, “Mary
Louise is grand” which is indeed a
compliment.
KAMPUS KAT
The Carolina-State game certainly
was the drawing card for you Sale-
mites last week-end. Mouse Page,
Ruth Doershuck, and Meredith ar
rived a little late, but it seems that
they made up for lost time at the
dance that nite.
Cordelia Lowrey was there, com
plete with lorgnettes. Maybe they
helped her keep a keener eye on her
date.
Julia Preston, Betty Bahnson,
Mary Turner Willis, and Mary Thom
as were also among those present
and returned with a life-sized jeep,
as a reminder of the trip. Are you
feeding him orchids, girls, to make
him say that Carolina will beat
Duke?
Betsy Montcaatlo took room-mate
Sanford home with her for the week
end. Did you get any more pro
posals in German, Betty?
A certain local Jenkins is really
quite attentive t oCarolyn Radcliffe
this vear.
Betsy Fearing, Tootie Powell, and
Lou Freeman drove over to see the
dress parade, \\^as there a cousin in
the crowd?
The cadets also attracted Helen
McArthur, or did you go in a Jersey
car just for the ride?
Too bad j^ou couldn’t get to the
parade, 1'unnage„ but you should
worry! You saw him Saturday nite.
Sara Harrison went home for the
week-end. Did Scotty receive you
with open arms?
Cecilia McKeithan and Sara Pink
ston kicked up their heels with the
Kiwanians at a dance in Greensboro
Who was your special from Sat
urday nite, Peggy Lowen? Not
Charlie again!
Desperate Dupey spent the week
end with Cramer Percival in Fay
etteville. W'as “boy” there?
Be careful about your business.
Be careful in all you do.
You can’t run away, you can’t hide
away.
The Kampus Kat is watching you-
—vIjos Angeles Junior Collegian.
Question: What would you suggest
as an invention for the betterment of
civilization?
Answers—
1. An invention with a half bell
on it, so it only wakes up one person
at a time.
2. Lubricated peanut butter so
that it doesn’t stick to the roof of
your mouth.
3. A revolving fish bowl for tired
fish.
4. Text books without print for
those who can’t read
—Daily Bruin.
AT CANCOM
Give me my Romeo; and when he
shall die.
Take him and cut him out in
little stars,
And he will make the face of
heaven so fine
That all the world will be
in love with night.
Romeo and Juliet.
A thing of beauty is a joy
forever:
Its loveliness increases, it
will never
Pass into nothingness; but
still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and
a aLeep
Full of dreams and health
and quiet breathing.
Prom Keats “Endymion.
MAPLES AFTER FROST
This morning each tall maple is
A Scottish Highland lad
All the green leaves turned by frost
To vivid tartan plaid.
Scarf and cap and pleated kilts;
Boitghs, bare at the knees —
Never was a clan so proud
As this, ■called Maple trees.
See the marching down the street,
Brief, bright skirts aswirl!
Listen! What a sweet, wild tune
Their windy bagpipes skirl!

HOME ECONOMICS
CLUB PARTY
Grinning, leering pumpkin faces
glowed in the darkness surrounding
the practice house, and smiled a
greeting to the guests of the Home
Economics Club. Inside the house,
gay autumn leaves, black cats, pump
kins and a charming gho^t provided
a realistic atmosphere of Halloween.
Lessons were forgotten as games
that everyone entered into and en
joyed were played with high spirits.
Mrs. Mienung told a fascinating
ghost story in an unusual manner;
the listeners represented a character
in the story and as their character
was named in the story, they made a
representative sound of that charac
ter. Much fun was had by everyone
when they gathered around the erack-
linfT open fire and popped pop corn.
A report of the interesting pro-
frranis of the future was given by
Key Counc'.l, Chairman of the Pro
gram Committee. At the November
meeting of the club. Miss Rights,
head of the Fine Arts Department at
Duke University wil Ispeak of the
Art Museums of the United States.
This is an illustrated lecture. At the
January meeting of the Club, Mrs.
Mildred Ball will speak using the
subject, “Crafts.” Then in Feb
ruary, the subject will be “Eti
quette,” the speaker to be chosen
later. In March there will be a
demonstration of “Fancy Catering.”
The April meeting will be turned
over to a Social Evening. The last
meeting of the club will be in May
with a speaker from Columbia Uni
versity.
Pumpkin tarts with raisin faces,
peanuts, and apple cider, were served
later in the evening. Brightly color
ed autumn leaves were used to deco
rate the plates of delicious refresh
ments.
The new students majoring in
Home Economics were invited to
join the club.
Donald' Duck, a graduate of the
University of Arizona, has enrolled
in Indiana University School of Law.
Among other famous names in the en
rollment list are two Robert Taylors,
Joe E. Brown, and Ben Eastman.

broken my heart and wrecked my
life, but he’s ruined my entire eve
