ART SERVICE
IS ORGANIZED
(By An S. A. O. P. M. Member)
To whom it may concern! II Join
the “Salem Art Operations Pro
ductions Management,” and protect
yourself from that group of human
vultures who approach you with
overnight requests for posters, book
plates and other such Herculean
tasks. The S. A. O. P. M. absolutely
guarantees to secure you against
such impositions. Our union de
mands that all applications for art
work be presented one week in ad
vance; and that all the necessary
materials be provided for and de
livered with that same lee-way. We
require that the subscribers present
definite concrete information about
their desires. We accept requests
for posters, signs, programs, letter
heads, bookplates; and will cooper
ate with the various Departments
on minor problems. We also super
vise the care and arrangement of
Salem Bulletin Boards. We abso-,
lutely refuse to produce any dance
decorations, stage sets or costume
sketches. Each request must gain
the approval of the Committee on
Acceptance, and work will naturally
be acted upon in order of petition.
There are many advantages to be
derived from such ^ an organization.
We demand no dues. We are merely
endeavoring to protect your artistic
talent against the encroachments of
the laymen. This is no professional
organization; we welcome all who
resent the aforementioned injustices.
All students interested, in joining
the union, see Mr. Lawrence Kenyon.
In order that poster-makers may
not be imposed upon as in previous
days, in order that there may be
unity in such activity, the S. O. A.
P. M. was formed.

in 1940, and all have every reason
to believe it will be just as gainful
this year. The coming week, March
24th through 28th, has been dedi
cated to Religious emphasis this
spring, and Salem is very fortunate
to have the leadership of Dr.
Charles Meyersfl postor of the First
Presbyterian Church in Greensboro.

functions at Davidson every year,
and is well known for his work with
young people in many other col
leges throughout the South. He will
arrive on the campus Tuesday night
and will speak that evening at
seven o’clock in the Recreation
Room of Louise Bitting Building.
After having had dinner with the
students in the dining room. He
will conduct the expanded chapel
program at 11 a.m. on Wednesday,
and will speak at both Thursday
and Friday chapel and on both
Wednesday and Thursday nights, he
will lecture at 7:00 in the Recrea
tion Room. Because of the Civic
Music Concert, his Friday talk will
take place at 5:00.
Personal interviews with Dr.
Meyers will be granted to all who
wish them anytime Friday and pos
sibly Thursday. All students who
