Martha McNair—Secretary Marion Sosnik—Treasurer Helen Totten—Assistant Treasurer DR. ANSCOMBE SPEAKS IN CHAPEL “Advantages of College Education” In Tuesday morning chapel. Dr. Francis Anscombe gave a very il luminating talk on the advantages offered by a college education. A college graduate. Dr. Anscombe stated, has been found to have a chance of 800 to 1 of achieving dis tinction over the uneducated man or woman. Beginning with the quotation from Revelation 3, “Behold I have set be fore thee an open door and no man can shut it.” Dr. Anscombe said that all normal people have an open door of opportunity which no one can prevent us from entering. Our own indifference and laziness alone can keep us from taking advantage of our opportunities. If we have great desires, and prepare ourselves to fulfill these ambitions, a chance will come to fulfill them. “God sots before us the open door, but He doesn’t throw us through.” Our own part comes in being ready to take up opportunities. More college students are success ful than non college men and wom en, for the reason that college pre pares us. In college we have a chance to develop character, dependability, self-confidence and strength of soul, which are necessary to the fulfilment of our desires. If we are thus pre pared, and ready to enter our open door, we find that it leads to an ever widening path and an ever broader life. REPRESENTATIVES ATTEND STUDENT CONFERENCE Three-Day Meet Held In Greensboro JUDGE WINSTON SPEAKS IN CHAPEL WEDNESDAY Judge Robert Winston, prominent judge, lawyer, and senator, was Sal em’s speaker at the expanded chapel on Wednesday. Judge Winston heldi court here in Old Winston, named for his relative, 44 years ago. From his recent book he read accounts of his visit and of the appearance and people of Winston. He observes that artificial “niceness” was then and .still is a predominant characteristic and shortcomings of the South. At the ago of sixty-two Judge Winston returned to college at Chap el Hill “to find out a new and short way to Heaven,” hut really because of an interest in the sciences. He stated that in his first college years he learned nothing; that everything was a confused mass. The second time he went to college he learned that philosophers and scientists are little farther advanced fundamen tally than they were years ago. Judge Winston considers the great est thing that he learned during his second four years in college is the problem of the particular. Shall we be group-minded, or are we going to be ourselves t His advice is: Don’t be narrow-minded; be uni versal. Don’t let yourself be like an owl who can’t see when he is ex posed to the light. Keep your own persokialilty and let your natural qualities and talents grow in value and quantity. Add new thoughts to old ideas to form a whole picture of advance. Make a mental blue print of life so that everything will be in its proper proportion and re lation for a complete understanding. Despite its hard, rough road, ae^k truth always and above everything else; when things seem to be para doxes, remember that the whole world is a paradox. “Is the world unequal to itselff No; a thousand times. No!” Judge Winston’s philosophy of life and his friendly, unaffected manner won him a high place of affectionate respect in Salem minds. We look forward to his next visit to this campus. Dorothy Hutaff and Virginia Bruce Davis represented Salem College at a conference held in Greensboro on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of last week.

Impressive Service Thursday On Thursday morning an impres sive service was hold in which the new council of the Student Self Gov ernment Association was installed. Ethel Highsmith, of Fayetteville, retiring president, made a brief ad dress of farewell. She said “Train ing for citizenship has been for gen erations an accepted objective of our American educational system, and in recent years student government has become one of the most important in struments through which it hopes to obtain its objective. Therefore when the time rolls around again for citizens of the school to take their places as citizens of the community, and new leaders rise to assume re sponsibility there should be a time of rejoicing.” Nevertheless there is the sadness of farewells. She expressed the hopes that stu dents would find themselves growing along with the student government organization.
