Four more weeks and four more days! And then glorious freedom! Everyone knows that, and no one knows it better than I. Last night as my roommate and I marked off another twenty-four hours, and discussed, as usual, the long stretch before vacation, the period of time suddenly appeared to me in another perspective. What a short time in which to accom plish all that I want to in academics! Some of my subjects are only one semester courses. My chance to become proficient in these comes almost to an end when I leave school on the eighteenth of December, Now when the few remaining weeks seem interminable, when the sight of home and old friends seems impossible, I think of all that I must accomplish in these weeks. Time really hui'ries then, and work improves. HELP TO THE TYRANT’S ENEMY Here at Salem the majority of us are apt to take our college education as a matter of jcourse; it is important to us, yes, for the friendships we make in these four years, for the connections made, for the intellectual gain that is to help u& to become mature young women in outlook and thought, but the real scholastic gain is of the least importance, for few of us plan to go on to higher fields of learning when we graduate, and so take iti as a matter of course now. Our college career is in reality but a means, of spanning time, marking time for what we look forward to as the real beginning of our careers when we have graduated. Very seldom do we stop and realize that during these four years we are receiving one of the greatest gifts to be offered, a gift we accept so casually, the chance to gain further knowledge. In a world growing dark under a cloud of hatefid op pression and war, in a world in which destruction is the main keynote, instead of building, this fact should) be even more im portant to us, here at Salem, a& at every college in America, we can still seek knowledge unhampered, and thus be builders instead of destroyers. Knowledge is still the brightest light to guide us out of this gloom, and while there are still those to learn and seek to learn there is always hope for salvation and final victory. Certainly with this belief in mind we can’t help wanting to back any means of furthering attempts to obtain knowledge. In offering aid to the Chinese student we are doing just that, even if indeed it seems but a small part, we are keeping in mind the final victory, when giving this aid, by enabling those students to keep the light burning in their part of the world. —M. R. LE COIN FRANCAIS La Farce de Maitre Pierre Pathelin Cette oeuvre cSlSbre ecrite entre 1416 et 1469 par un auteur inconnu, est la farce la plus renommfie du moyen-age. C’est 1‘ histoire de Maitre Path elin, avocat peu scrupuleux, sana clientele. II va faire une viaite au drapier et par la flatterie il prend six aunes de drap k credit. II invite le drapier & venir lui rendre visite pour boire et pour recevoir 1 ’ ar gent pour le drap. Quand le drapier arrive, Pathelin fait semblant d etre trSs malade et meme de delir- er. Le drapier fait de aon mieux pour avoir son argent mais tout 4 fait sans aucc6s. Degoute, il part. Un moment aprSs il revient, mais il 4 beau menacer et prier, on ne le paie pas. Un berger, dont le maitre est la drapier, vient chez Pathelin lui de- mander de plaider eontre son maitre qui accuse le berger d’avoir mange beaucoup d’ agneaux. Pathelin, heu- reux d’avoir un cliente, dit au ber- ber de ne rien dire que “Bee” quand on i ’interrogera. Puis ils vont tous au communal. Le drapier vient, voit Pathelin, et se met ^ bavarder du drap que Pathelin a pris. Le juge, confus et no comprenant rien, pardonne le berger a cause de sa stupidity ap- parente. Le drapier, frustr6, part. Puis Pathelin demande son argent due berger. Le berger ne repond rien que “Bee” et fichkppe sans rien prayer.

GENERALISSIMO CHIANG KAI SHEK To American Students Translation forwarded by Paul Mo ritz after an audience with the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese forces. The measure of sympathy and un derstanding embodied in your re lief plans is something Chinese youth will always cherish. It shows that young Americans are keenly alive to the significance of our re sistance against aggression and the part our students are playing and will play. This mutual understand ing and goodwill, in my opinion cannot fail to strengthen the friendly bonds of our two great nations. It is also my belief that the United States will use her power in the interests of righteousness and peace, and that she will judic iously and vigorously assert her po sitive desire to restore interna tional order based on justice. To ward the fulfillment of this belief, there is much that American stud ents can contribute. —CHIANa KAI SHEK. (From The Intercollegian) BARD’S BOX CONTRAST * * * * WE CANNOT ISOLATE a part of life; We all must learn together. There is no segment of the human race Can rise alone Or rise upon another; We must be, one, There is no way to halt the Nazi threat Save showing them life’s oneness. No act of ours Should widen gaps already made Between ourselves and fascists. We cannot fight Nor use refined varieties of war Like boycotts; We must not fret That we have ridden German ships And eat from Japan’s dishes; We cannot isolate a part of life, For all must learn together. —Prank Olmstead. The “Y’s” Work ivrrsBLP I have to live with myself and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able, as days go by Always to, look myself straight in the eye I don’t want to stand with the setting sun And hate myself for things I've done. I can never hide myself from me; I see what others may never see; I know what others may never know; I can never fool myself, and so Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free. (—Edgar A. Guest). MUSIC NOTES MUSIC HOUR Heard from a new, personality on the campus: “Please, eould you introduce me to at least one good dancer. I’ve al ready met the faculty members . Men are like corks — some will pop the question, others have to be drawn out. Student: “Dear Dad, I’m broke and I have no friends. What shall I dot” Dad: “Make friends at once.’’ The gum-chewing girl And the cud-chewing cow Are somewhat alike Yet different somehow. What is the difference? Oh, I see it now — It’s the thoughtful look On the face' of the cow. This old world in which we live Is pretty hard to beat; We get a thorn with every rose, I But ain’t the roses sweet 1 Thursday afternoon Dr. Vardell lectured on “The Chief Character istics of Cesar Prank's Style” and analyzed two of his works.

You are extravagant in your love, but are a little shy in its ex pression. You hate gossip and have a horror of being talked about. Because of your generosity in love, you should avoid inferior companions. Harden your heart against hurts, for you may some times think that your friends let you down.
