THE KAMPUS KAT
The Easter bunny usually arrives
with flowers on Easter Sunday, but
when he continues saying it with
flowers all through the following
week, then somebody *s doing pretty
well. Marjorie Crisps pink roses, for
instance, coming from a person she
hasn’t seen but once in the last few
years. And did you see Bill Pul
ton’s talisman roses from F. L.f
Frances Klutz also sported Gar
denias Sunday night, a whole week
after Easter.
Salem will probably be well repre
sented at Chapel Hill this week-end.
May Frolic began Friday, and as far
as we know, Ethel Highsmith, Mere
dith Holderby, and Lou Freeman will
be with The Betas, Mary Thomas and
Betty Bahnson will drag S. A. E.’s
and Mary Lib Walston and Lizzie
Trotman will do their frolicing with
Kappa Sigs.

SPMNO
FEVER
We offer a few words of caution concerning the annual
epidemic which has again reached the Salem College Campus.
Show your resistance by throwing off the dread disease
Watch the following points. Don’t put off that assignment
until “later." Don’t forget to study for that test. Let's make
a better record these last few weeks than we have made at all
during the year. Don’t forget outside activities. The calen
dar is filled with events for the next several weeks. Organiza
tions and clubs will need your help.
Beware of that lazy, sleepy feeling. Let’s abolish ‘ ‘ Spring
fever."
Springfield, Mass.—(ACP)—Assail
ing educational views of the Univet-
sity of Chicago's President Hutchins
as “counsels of dispair,” Dr. Earn
est M. Best, new president of Spring
field Colege, ia his inaugural address
suggested a frank facing of prob
lems aa they exist.
“President Hutchins of the TJni-
vereity of Chicago would purify and
simplify education by ft retreat into
the narrow Intellectualism of scien-
tifio research and philosophical
speculation and leave the world to its
fate in ‘trades asaociations’,” said
the former McGill University psy
chology profeesor.
“These proposals are the counsels
of dispair. We have much to learn
from the past but in my opinion we
must advance by a frank recognition
of the centrality of vocational and
professional education in modern
life.
“The defects of vocational educa
tion can be remedied by making sure
that the schools build good men and
good citizens as well as good special
ists, ” concluded Dr. Best.
New Haven, Conn.—(ACP)—In
difference causes Yale University un
dergraduates to shun religious dis
cussion groups such as the University
Christian Association, known to stu
dents aa Dwight Hall,
So said President James Rowland
Angell at the services in honor of the
50th anniversary of organized under
graduate religious activities on the
campus.
Only a small group was violently
opposed to religion. Some students
stay away from Dwight Hall, he add
ed, because they feel that their re
ligious beliefs are already decided.
The greater number ‘ ‘ are wholly in
different to religious and preoccupied
like their parents with other mat
ters. ’ ’
Explaining the necessity for an
organization like Dwight Hall, Dr.
Angell said:
“On the strictly intellectual and
philosophical side of religious ex
perience there is and always will be
a real job for such an association. It
affords opportunity for direct, frank,
man-to-[man discussion of the funda
mental issues in Christianity, as well
as in other great world religions.
“No thoughtful man can ever be
quite sure of the foundations of his
faith — or, indeed, of his lack of
faith, if that represents his condition
— without exposure to the shrewd,
even if sometimes naive, criticism of
his comrades and to the merciless
give and take of men of his age.”
We never suspected her of it, but
Mary Turner is really just “a
dove ” By the way, Willis, what
have you got to do with the price of
eggs in Philadelphia.

FROM CO-OP TO
CO-OPERATIVE AT
NYU SCHOOL
N8FA. In an exclusive story
given the NSFA, Bill Gardiner, popu
lar head of student government at
New York University School of Com
merce, described former open- mar
ket transactions on textbooks follow
ing each term and the legal difficul
ties which arose therefrom.
In February and June the students
of the school have established by cus
tom a curb exchange, with under
classmen bidding heavily for the
books required in their courses of
the next year. Competition of sel-
lerh as well as buyers kept quota
tions reasonably low, though at
tempts to corner the market in texts
for High Finance IV and Calculus I
have been reported in the past. The
University Bookstore, however, saw
traces of interference with inter
class commerce in these deals, and
appealed to the Law, effectively in
voking a city ordinance against the
selling of books without license. Lo
cal constabulary promptly placed
several of the entrepreneurs under
temporary protective confinement.
Seeking a more positive solution
to the problem of text-prices, the
student councils of NYU Washington
Square College and the School of
Commerce appointed a committee to
investigate the possibility for set
ting up a legalized used book counter
in the University Store, to be or
ganized on a co-operative basis. A
favorable report plus faculty sup
port in the new venture seems to as
sure future satisfaction for consum
ing undergraduates and those hoping
to rid themselves of their printed
helpmates of terms past at a reason
able profit.
AT CANDCM
THE
Noise of hammers once I heard
Many hammers, busy hammers,
Beating, shaping night and day,
Shaping, beating dust and clay
To a palace; saw it reared;
Saw the hammers laid away.
And I listened and I heard
Hammers beating, night and day,
In the palace newly reared,
Beating it to dust and clay:
Other hammfrs, muffled hammers.
Silent hammers of decay.
—Ralph Hodgson.
A RAINY DAY IN APRIL
When the clouds shake their hyssops and the rain
Like holy water falls upon the plain,
’Tis sweet to gaze upon the springing grain
And see your harvest born.
And sweet the little breeze of melody
The blackbird puffs upon the budding tree.
While the wild poppy lights upon the lea
And blazes ’mid the corn.
The skylark soars the freshening showers to hail
And the week daisy holds aloft her pail,
And Spring all radiant by the wayside pale
'Sets up her rock and reel.
See how she weaves her mantle fold on fold
Hemming the woods and carpeting the world
He warp is of the green, her warp the gold
The spinnning world her wheel.
—Frances Ledividge.
AROUND THE CAMPUS
Well everyone is bajjk from home.
New York, and Bermuda and has
settled down to work again (I hope.)
Lizzie Trotman went to New
York and saw every show that was
any good and some that weren’t so
good.
Sara Ingram toured up to South
Hill and had a marvelous time play
ing around with her old frienda
Last week-end Etta Burt Warren,
a graduate of last year was seen
around the campus. Incidentally
she and Frances Cole look very mHich
alike.
Martha Binder, another alumna
was here at Salem the other day.
She’s married but we don’t know her
new name.
Easter must do things to people.
We heard that Katherine Sisell wait
ed up until 11 p. m. to have a date
with a certain person on Easter Sat
urday night.
Everyone seems to be pleased with
the annual this year only we flatter
ed ourselves on being better looking
than some of the pictures that ap
peared in it.
The seniors are at it again — di
rected teaching, I mean. Virginia
Neely seems to be having some time
teaching little folks to sing do-re-mi.
Salem will be well represented at
Carolina for May Frolic this week
end, as usual. A detailed report will
be given next week. For minute
CAN YOU ACT?
Can you act f Or would you like to
see such outstanding amateurs as
Monsieurs Downs, Curlee, and Mc-
Ewen try? Do you like funny skits,
or witticisms written by Dorothy
Parker, or hilarious imitations of the
Faculty! Would you enjoy hearing
really good jazz, or the surprise of
discovering that your room-mate or
your next door neighbor was really
one of the best truckers or tap
dances you have ever seen? If the
answer to one or all of these ques
tions is “yes” come to Memorial
Hall, Tuesday, April 20, for one of
the most unique and entertaining
hours you have ever spent. The Scor
pions, by whom it is sponsored, say
they have one surprise which tops sill
the rest — and that is a pretty bold
statement I It seems that with each
admission ticket (15 cents), you will
also receive a chance to win a beau
tiful and original quilt which every
Salemite will want to own. Whyt
Because it has embroidered on it in
their own handwriting, the names of
your college mates. It will be dis
played in Main Hall next week so
that you may have a close look at it.
And, after you’ve seen it, if you de
cide that you’d like more than one
chance to win this student master
piece, The Scorpions will let you
have two tickets for 25 cents!
details just see Betty Bahnson,
though.
The Glee Club certainly did do it
self proud the other morning when
it sang for Madame Galli-Curci.
Katherine Sw^in’s solo part was love
ly- Salem certainly did give Galli-
Curci a warm welcome — one that
was fitting for so great an artist.
All the Juniors and Seniors are
geting their best evening clothes
ready for the annual prom. We know
it’s going to be a successful affair.
