We are face to face with one of our well-known traditions, and there seems to be only one weapon with which we can defend ourselves. The weapon is books and needless to say the tradition is EXAMINA TIONS. We begin to wonder what became of those brilliant New Year’s Resolutions we made at the beginning of the se mester. The resolution concerning studying each day in order that we could sleep before the big exam has not worked out even though it was made enthusiastically. This week-end would be a perfect time to get a date with that mythology book and to acquire a few dates from those history notes. Some girls like to start from the front of the book, others in the back and still others like to begin in the middle. It is not important where you begin, but it is import ant to begin at once. There are several other factors which could make these next two weeks easier. Everybody will tell you that sleep be fore an exam will help you to think clearer, and those who have tried it are convinced that this is true. Most students worry so much about exams that they can not do their best work. Try thinking about other things than exams when you stop studying. Examinations could be worse you know. —S. H. IDEALS OF DEMOCRACY “The ideals of democracy, of self-government, of fair play, of personal liberty can be preserved only if we organize ourselves to give practical expression to the fundamental human urge to work and create. We educators can do remaricable things with the educa tional machinery we have built up if we can set before the community the ideal of creation and release it from the stultifying fear of surpluses. If democratic leader ship cannot say to youth under peacetime conditions as well as in wartime crises: “You are needed; prepare well: the way to the top is open,” democracy cannot in my judgment survive the challenge of modern dicta torship. Genuine loyalty to the democratic ideal can not ultimately be induced merely by indoctrinating youth with academic arguments in favor of the free society.”—A. C. P. LE COIN FRANCAIS Pierre Corneille etait le pere de la tragedie et de la comfidie classiques. II est ne a Eoven en 160(5. II a com mence sa carriere dramatique dans la comedie avec une succession de dramos Vigoreux “Melite” (1639), “Clitandi^e,” “La Veuve,” “La Suivante” en 1635 11 est entr6 dans la carriere de tragedie avec Medee; mals ce n'etait qu’& 1’ap parition de son oeuvre renommfie le “Cid, ” que Corneille a abtenu sa place entre les illustres pofetes tragiques. Le “Cid” est une imita tion q’un drame espagnol et bien qu'elle soit defectueuse dans les improbabilites de 1 ’intrigue elle s’est fait une reputation immense a cause de son sentiment et de son Elevation d’id^al, qui sont les characteristiques naturels de poesie des Corneille. D’ailleurs ses drames il a ecrit des Elegies, des sonnets, des fipetres et trois essaie en proee. Comme dramaturge son merite prin cipal est l’614vation de sentiment et de conception mais bien qu’il ait fait de grands efforts pour pro- duire un ideal hferoique il n’a pas ^e6 porte 4 employer un genie gon- fl6 Corneille est mort en 1684. Poet'QomfiicUtii CATULLUS, THE PACIFIST Catullus had a little villa White as linen on a pillow White as first leaves of the willow Beside the blueness of the sea. — Catullus lived in joy and gladness With pearls for tears and songs for sadness. And quarrels were for him pure madness In his villa by the sea. — And when the sea rolled in in billows When the wind blew in the willows The lights went out in other villas Except Catullus’ by the sea. —E.

State Retreat at Camp Hanes, North Carolina, over the week-end of May 9, Barbara Whit tier and Mary Lou Brown repre sented the Salem College “Y. ” The girls arrived at Camp Hanes around 5 o’clock, Friday afternoon, for registrattioji where they met the delegates from Davidson, Caro lina, Duke, E. C. T. C., Elon. W. C., Atlantic Christian, and State, and received name tags so that they could easily be identified. The Camp Hanes planning Com mittee consisting of Bess Johnson, W. C.-U. N. C., H. A, Scott, Duke University; Fred Broad, University of North Carolina; Dave E. Whit- ted, N. C. State chose as the theme for the conference, “The Challenge of Christianity.” The main speaker was Dr. Kenneth Foreman, profes sor of philosophy at Davidson Col lege. His address Friday night “The Challenge of a Crisis, ” was followed by a heated open forum discussion. Saturday morning he again spoke with the subject “The Challenge of ACADEMY COMMENCEMENT SCHEDULE May Wed. 14th Fri. Sat. Fri.

For Read ing Day — a day of study between classes and exams — has been granted to us by the faculty to overcome these evils. Let’s take the fullest advantage of Reading Day. ..Use it for study or for rest, and you will be surprised how much more pleasant the examination period will be. —li. J. Hunter College offers a play writ ing course in which the students write, direct and produce original plays.—ACP. Shirley Porter was graduated from the University of Iowa with a B. A. degree and honors, although handicapped by blindness.—ACP. A French Club Field day in which all activities were in French was held at Southern Illinois Normal U ni versity.—ACP. Five 14-year-old boys have been admitted to City College of New York as freshmen.—ACP. Conflict.” That night after supper the speaker made a direct appeal to the leaders from all over the state with “The Challenge to Leader ship.” Sunday’s address was built around ‘ ‘ The Challenge of Christ. ’ ’ Each night and morning a different college had charge of a devotional. Salem’s was on Sunday. Throughout the time smaller groups were con ducted to discuss the purpose of Christian associations on the mod ern campus and the essentials of the Christian association program. The Salem delegates came back full of enthusism for a better “Y" next year at this college. The title, “Grand Duke of Yuca tan” was conferred on Dr. E. K. Turner, professor of Latin at Emory University, 36 years ago by de scendant of Maximillian.—ACP. Margaret Whitcomb, a 1939 gra duate, is the first girl meteorology instructor to teach at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.—ACP. “We make conversation to get away from ourselves and the people we are talking to. Talk is a world in itself and there we "are perfectly safe even from the things we are talking about.” —Reader’s Digest, Edwin Mun. What, oh what then, do we girls have to fear? I found this one last week: A freshman at Creighton university defined the word “co-ed” as “a contraction of the word co-educa- tional applied to young ladies as piring to compete for an education with the higher type of human.” P. S. The ‘higher type of human’ must refer to some animal unknown in these parts. A censor is a guy who can find three meanings to a joke when there are only two.
