N. Y. CKICAaO - BOITON > LOI ANOCLC* - SAN FRANCISCO LANDSCAPE PAINTING HUNG IN THE UBRARY Further charm has been added to the Reading Room by the landscape painting of the Smoky Mountains, the work of Frederick Ballard Wil liams. Mr. Williams is one of the best and most famous landscape painters in the United States. His pictures have been exhibited not only in the galleries of this country but also those of London, Paris, Venice, and Rome. He has received many awards and medals for his work. Mr. Williams painted the picture from sketches he made of North Carolina Mountains when he was visiting here last summer. This makes it very fitting for Sal em’s Reading Room. Hung in the panel over the fire place the picture tends to focus at tention to that point bringing out the beautiful, harmonious colors, sur rounding it, the graceful lines of the fireplace, and the spaciousness of the room. It completes the beauty of the Reading Boom. It is also wonderful in itself, por traying gorgeous, zestful life with a background of the peace and serenity of the age-old mountains. Mr. Bahnson’s thought and care in choosing the equipment and dec orations of the Beading room are appreciated by the students. They agree with Dr. Eondthaler that it is the most beautiful they have seen.

MY FRIEND strange, isn’t it, how God makes so many men? Building them mostly all the same. Each with little feeble intellect and brain — Going on in the way some other has been, Coming not to raise aloft his owa as Maker's name; Existing only, on his lowly plane. But once in a while he suddenly seems To smile more benignly on us below. And he puts a great heart and a wonderful soul Into a man, and fills him with dreams; Showing him things other mortals may never know. And he carries his name from pole to pole. Then sometimes instead of a Caesar, a Lincoln, or a Milton — Rather than a Wagner, or da Vinci or a gifted Shakespeare — He sees the need of a man to be a real friend. And not with pen so noble, nor roaring gun — But with an eye for a tear and a heart without fear. He makes a friend to share our hopes to the journey’s end — And this was His thought when Ha first made you. And gave you to me to be my friend. ’ ’ —Jay Anderson. EDWARD HOLDER DISCUSSES PACT FOR A.A.U.W. Edward Holder of the history de partment of Salem College led a round-table discussion on world events at the meeting of the Ameri can Association of University Wom en Tuesday evening. The meeting was held at the home of Mr». W. L. Wharton. The recent pact between Italy and England was analyzed. Mr. Holder took each section of the pact and gave his interpretation. He then dis cussed the effect each would have on world problems. Mr. Holder discussed the effect the pact would have on Germany's invag- ion of Austria and its effect on Rus sia. “Who is that fellow with the long hairT” “Just a fellow from Yale.” “I’ve often heard of those Yale locks. ” A typical American is one who will fire you for incompetency and then give you a letter of recommen dation. Thrifty “My Scotch boyfriend sent me his picture.” “How does it lookt” “I don’t know. I haven't had it developed yet.”—CoUegio.

FROM OLD TO NEW “The old order changes giving place to the new.” We, the back numbers with our stale ideas and dry pens are going on the shelf to give you new editions, full of pep, fresh thoughts, and original schemes its day. To the new Editor: May you be a crack article getter upper and upside down backwards reader. To the Business Manager and Staff: We hope the mer chants will ask you, phone you, and beg you for ads. To the Feature Staff: May your brain storms come weekly and before assignments are due. To all other reporters: Use your wit; learn to ask ques tions tactfully; don’t meddle. We hope you don’t get kicked out on your ear. Good luck! —F. J. AN UNEXPLORED COTJNTRY Here are directions for finding an unexplored country. Gro into the library and take fifteen steps forward; turn to the right and pass through an open doorway into the Beading Room. Take ten more steps forward and stop. At your left you will find a mysterious door. Open it quietly and step forward. Ther© below you is an undiscovered country. When it was first created it was called the Terrace and that name still serves. As yet few know of its existence, and still fewer have discovered the rich ness of its natural resources. But it is a free country, and open to any who will take possession of it. You can make it your own, or\ you can leave it a No-Man’s-Land. This country, strangely enough is accessible only when the sun is shining and skies are clear. In rainy weather it is formidable and uninviting. The ground itself is smooth and flat and well settled with green shelters for weary voyagers. It is a land of sunshine and spring. It is a refuge for dreamers, poets, weary scholars, idle travelers. And it is yours' for the taking. —H. M. It has long been the custom of those in authority at Salem to listen to any suggestions for changes which the students might like to make. As a result of the expression of the desires on the part of a large group of students for several changes to be made in the Green Room, when we returned from Easter holidays we saw new evidenc of this thoughtful consideration —Mrs. Rondthaler has busied hereself during the holidays in planning and having the Greenroom redecorated. She chose the color scheme of red and black which adds a bright gaity and cheerfulness to the room. The new attractiveness of the room was joyfully commented upon by all the returning students and is appreciated anew every day. We are truly glad to belong to an institution which con siders the suggestions of the student body vitally important and which follows these suggestions whenever possible. —H. A.
