Edith McLean ... Pauline Daniel Assistant Exchange Manager Bill Fulton Friday afternoon at five o'clock in the Erecreation Eoom of Louisa Wilson Bitting Building, Mrs. Ger mes will give a talk upon the every day life of a German girl. Mrs Germes is well-qualified to talk upon such a subject for she is a German girl herself and speaks from a back ground of experience. She is known to some extent around the campus already, since she is taking one of the Spanish courses here. A very interesting fact about Mrs. Germes is that she is the niece of the well- known writer, Wilhelm Hendrik Van Loon. This talk is being sponsored by the freshman Y. Cabinet.

New York. N.Y. CHICAGO - BOSTON - 8AN FRANCISCO Los ANoeues • Portland • Seattle AN ANSWER In response to the editorial which appeared here last week about Sunday afternoon walking privileges for Salemites may I make several remarks? ‘ ‘ The needless fate of Salemites ’ ’ is really a falsity. Sale mites are allowed to walk on Sunday afternoons with the simple requirement of signing out first. They are also permitted to walk until the 7 o’clock bell each evening after supper. Salem is not a jail housing prisoners; it is only solicitous of its stu dents ’ welfare. Have you ever ridden past a school which allows its girls to loaf and loll about on the front campus on Sunday after noons? Doesn’t that give an appearance of rather shoddy neglect of a nice atmosphere ? Who wants to see girl^ sitting or strolling about as though to attract attention? Salem has a beautiful lower campus in which to sit and stroll, and it allows its students to sign out for any walk with a destination on Sunday afternoons. Washington Park is a favorite beauty spot to which Salem girls walk on spring afternoons for a hike of about two miles, and there are other attractive places to which they fre quently go after arranging it in the office. This one requirement is to furnish some way in which a girl may be located if callers wish to see her. Can’t we sign up before going out if there is a chance of our getting callers? So come on, girls, let’s go to w,alk; w'e are allowed too! READ THE NEWSPAPERS What do you know about world or even national events today t How often do you read more than the headlines and comic strips of the paper t If you are an average Salem student, it is only when you haven’t anything else to do and your knowl edge of important events consists of a few sentences which you have heard over the radio when you could n’t find anything better to listen too. It is not long before we students will be out in the real world of af fairs on our own; we will be part of the controlling generation. But are we really preparing ourselves? We talk of the danger of war in Eur ope and possibly involving our own country; we speak in glowing words of peace movements. But how many of us know that this week the most expensive peace preservation instru ment ever devised has been set in motion by Europe to prevent the spread of war from Spain, or that if it collapses another World War may result. The same thing applies to our national and state affairs. We are all in reach of newspapers; Jane Leibfreid has, in case you haven’t heard, taken upon herself the providing of a home for twelve white rats in specially constructed cages down at the lab. They are to be used in experiments with an esthesia and Jane has already be come so attached to them that she saddens at the thought of their fu ture. Npw she only needs an even dozen for her experiment, and since one of them, Mrs. eiggett, had litter of 6 beautiful pink and white babies last Wednesday, Jane is look ing for a foster parent, and also a name, for them. * You readers take notice of the name part becai^^e a contest will be gin Saturday, April 24, and to the girl submitting the best set of names, will be given the grand prize — the ownership of one white mouse. We know that none of you could accomodate it in your room if you have a rodent-objecting room mate, or several other inhabitants, so we have decided to let it stay in its own cage with all of its little brothers and sisters. You can go play with him anytime you want to though, and what is even nicer, you can select either one of the ratlets you want; in that way, you can choose the one with the most character in his face, or one with the most versatile tail, or pinkest eyes. Don’t forget to put your names in the basket in the Salemite office be fore Wednesday night, as the con test will close then. All of you sub mit a list so that the judges, Jane and Mr. Higgins, will have some good ones to select from, and 90 that those poor little rats won’t have to go nameless any more, and don’t forget to sign your names. AT CANDCM LODaED The rain to the wind said “You push and I’ll pelt!” They so struck the garden bed That the flowers actually knelt And lay lodged — though not dead. I know how the flowers felt. —Robert Frost. # * * * NIGHT CLOUDS The white mares of the moon rush along the sky Beating their golden hoofs upon the glass heavens; The white mares of the moon are all standing on their hind legs Pawing at the green porcelain doors of the remote heavens. Ply, mares! Strain your utmost. Scatter the milky dust of stars, Or the tiger sun will leap upon you and destroy you With one lick of his vermilion tongue. —^Amy Lowell. A BLACK BIRD SUDDENLY Heaven is in my hand, and I Touch a heart-beat of the sky, Hearing a blackbird’s cry. ■Strange, beautiful, unquiet thing, Lone flute of God, how can you sing Winter to spring? You have outdistanced every voice and word, And given my spirit wings until it stirred Like you - - . a bird! —Joseph Auslander. THIS UTTLE HNGER DID IT COLLEGIATE COLORS College is a colorful place, and just to prove this fact we found all these distinctive colors at Salem: Monday blue Universal pink (other name blush red) Freshman green Bunsen flame Curly blond latest color for His hair) Paper white Prom Orchid Oxford brown Blue-book blue Junior purple Uniform gray Salem yellow Birthday rose Frat pin gold Z red (can be worn anywhere except on test papers) Homesick black Dining room silver Campus green that is hardly an excuse. The Li brary subscribes to the Journal and Sentinel, Greensboro Daily News, and News and Observer, and The New York Times. Let’s make a point of equipping ourselves for citizens* lives by keeping up with things around us. Since the Salemite is purely student newspaper there is very little excuse for the faculty horning in unless invited to do so. With the coming of spring, however, we old ducks begin to feel young again and want to quack out loud some where. So let the feathers fly. First let me say that the Salemite is very near and dear to the heart of this particular old duck and consequently these out-of-order quackings are com ing straight from that same heart. When an article is written for the Salemite it is never in danger of being “held out’ by a narrow-mind- ed, scissor-loving faculty-cenaor. The staff is composed entirely of stu dents who do their own choosing and cutting and who are at liberty, thank heaven, to print what they please when they please. Free thinking and free writing are the very breath of the four page body of the college newspaper, and any student is to be congratulated who thinks and writes freely in it. There is a difference, however, be tween straight newspaper stories and critical newspaper articles. While the stories merely state facts, criti cal articles, and sometimes editorials express the personal feelings of the writers. The critical articles, there fore, and the editorials (if not written by the editor herself), al ways appear in a paper signed by the writer. There is a reason for this. Any one who offers written criticisms, either constructing or destructing, must naturally expect that some reader, with opposite views, may want to answer him, may even take offense. A hot argument may insue. Hallelujah, what of it? Hot argu ments often boileth, sethe and stew down to really good suggestions which sometimes result in changed rules aad improved conditions. A critical article, unsigned, is like an annonymous ringing of a door bell. The person coming to answer the ringing finds to his. surprise that the writer, or as it appears, the prankster, has run away. Any Open Forum letter in the Journal and Sentinel is always signed. If the writer is bold enough to slap at something he didn’t like, he was cer tainly bold enough to step out from behind the skirts of his article and say “This little finger did it.” With a nice, fat name underneath, a critical article, can weild a pow erful right arm. If there is nobody to claim it the poor thing shrinks back into a dark corner like a ragged Ititle boy whose parents refuse to recognize him in public. And thus, my little fuzzy-wuzzy reporters, endeth your Sunday school lesson for today. Your great aunt Ducky-Wucky will preach you an other sermon sometime if you don’t watch out. Horrors, I’ll have to sign this thing. Cortlandt Preston. Bruce Mondt, President of the As sociated Students at Colorado State College of Education, has announced an informal course for next year’s presidential possibilities, to acquaint them with the value and possibili ties of NSFA membership. He hopes thus to enable his sueeessor to utilize the advantage of NSFA membership right from the start of the year. Two hundred years ago William Penn wrote: “Method goes far to prevent trouble in business; for it makes the task easy, hinders con fusion, saves abundance of time and instructs those (concerned) on what to do and what to hope.” “A community of men presents some of the attributes of matter,” says Salvador De Madariaga. “A crowd flows, cian be diluted or con centrated, can undergo vibrating movements; a crowd is in fact some thing akin to a liquid.” It can be chilled. It can be changed into a turbulent torrent. It can be heated until it boils itself away in emotional froth.
