CONFERENCE
A great part of the student body was, perhaps, unaware
of the fact that there were about sixty visitors at Salem a week
ago. At any rate, that part didn’t have anything to do with
these visitors. A few days before our Spring holidays we learn
ed that the S. I. A. S. G. was to have its annual conference here
and that representatives were to be sent from most of the col
leges in the South. We know from its name that the organiza
tion is one made uP of student governments from Southern col
leges; we know from the very fact that it is a student govern
ment organization, that its representatives must discuss problems
common to all student governments. What we don’t know,
however, is how this particular conference was conducted and
w'hat was accomplished. We are awaiting with interest a re
port from our delegates.

WHCX)PS!
By Chubby Hayes
Last Wednesday night the Sen
iors lost a bit of their traditional
dignity and enjoyed a mad riotous
time with the Silly Sophomores whp
only had to act natural to have a
good time.
There was much discussion in Sen
ior building, Wednesday afternoon
as to whether or not pillows would
.be considered as part of the correct
attire of novices (Imagine being a
senior and not knowing how to
skate).
The Sophomores, as hostesses,
did not want to be outdone in skat
ing ability so several pairs of skates
were kept busy on Second Floor hall
that afternoon. Nothing could have
been funnier than Louise Early sail
ing down the hall screaming at the
top of her voice after a hearty push
by Lib Dobbins.
Or at the rink nothing could have
been funnier:
Than the loud bang with which
Frances Turnage hit the floor land
ing — well you must know where —
or the serious looks of concentration
on the faces of Agnes Brown and
Sarah Turlington, or the time Kath
erine King gracefully straddled a
pole and then slid dowTi it to the
floor, or the look of astonishment
on the face of Lyell Glenn — she
thought at least she was safe for the
minute — when she fell off of her
perch on the railing, or the high
‘ ‘ C” Frances Watlington hit when
the floor hit her.
Well, everybody had a grand time
and lots of laughs out of it. Let’s
do it again sometime.
MUSIC NOTES

JOHN MASON BROWN
TO BE LAST SALEM
LECTURER
(Continued From Page One)
head of the Dramatic Department
of the Summer School of the Uni
versity of Montana. So began his
career as lecturer.
Subsequently Mr. Brown has been
staff lecturer for the American Lab
oratory Theatre in New York City,
and is now staff lecturer for the
League for Political Education, New
York City, the Philadelphia Forum
and the Brooklyn Institute of Arts
and Sciences. In 1931-1932 he gave
a cour.se at Yale University on “The
History of Criticism from Aristotle
to the Present.” He has also taught
at the Bread Loaf Writers’ Con
ference, Columbia University and
given summer courses in playwriting
and the history of the modern thea
tre at Harvard. FVoni 1924 to 1928
he was Associate Editor and Drama
Critic of Theatre Arts Monthly.
Since 1929 he has been Dramatic
Critic of the New York Post.
This brilliant young authority on
the drama is also the author of six
notable books on the theatre.
William Lyon Phelps writes that
“John Mason Brown is one of the
best public lecturers in the United
States.” and that he is “the best
lecturer on the drama among drama
tic critics.” He is “young enough
to be enthusiastic and old enough to
be wise,” says Burns Mantle. His
combination of wide knowledge and
good taste with clear delivery and
gay humor might be described as a
perfect recipe for a successful lec
turer.
We look forward eagerly to his
visit thig year at Salem.

AT ICANCC/H
THE MAN HE KILLED
“Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn.
We should have sat us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!
“But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me.
And killed him in his place.
“I shot him dead because —
Because he was my foe.
Just SO: ily foe of course he was;
That’s clear enough; although
“He thought he’d ’list, perhaps,
^ Off-hand like — just as I —
Was out of work — had sold his traps —
No other reason why.
“Yes; quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down
You’d treat if met where any bar is,
Or help to half-a-crown. ’ ’
—Thomas Hardy.
