NEWSPAPER ■
idUAL STAFFS
GET OFFICES
Another face-lifting operation
was performed on Salem’s counten
ance last week when the Salemite
and the “Sights and Insights”
moved into their ijew offices in the
basement of Main Hall.
The roonus which were previously
used as the Smoke House have
quite a business-like air about them.
I’li'nty of light, shelves, and tables
certainly are a great advantage to
writers and editors.
No longer will we have to crowd
into a tiny two-by-four room to
get our pictures and annuals. The
“Sights and Insights” now has
two large rooms — plenty large?
enough to take care of the annual
and picture rush.
Tho fresh curtains and the shiny
linoleum floor give quite a checfr-
ful atmosphere to the three offices.
You are all most cordially invited
to come down and se? for yourself
the wonderful change that took
place in the most recent face-lifting
project.

NINE GIRLS
SELECTED BY
WHO’S WHO
To bo honored in tho eight an
nual ('dition of “Who’s Who
A m 0 n g Students in American
Univ.e;sities and Colleges’’are nine
Salem seniors: Marian Xorris, Leila
.Tohnaton, Dorothy Di.\on, Kugenia
Baynes, Carrie Donndl, Margaret
Vardell, Margery McMullen, Mary
Jane Copenhaven and Keece
Thomas. The announcement was
rtdoased by the faculty committee
on selection, Friday, October 24.
In order to ‘ ‘ make ’ ’ ‘ W’ho’s
WHio”, a student must bo Jutstand-
iug and an asset to his school. The
student’s record is considered be
fore* entering college, while in col
lege, and the general reputation he
enjoys among the students and
faculty. Leadership in extra cur
ricular activities such as athlcftics,
society, religion and student govern
ment is also considered. Due to
different grading systems in col
lege, a ci'rtain point or grade has
never been determined as a requi
site. It is necessary that one bt?
tin outstanding student, but the
fact that ho excolls in all other
phases may lie considered in drter-
riiining his qualifications. The
possibility of future usefulness to
business and society is a required
quality of a candidate for “Who’
Who.”
Tho idea of cnniting one nation
al basis of recognition for students,
devoid of politics, initation fees,
and dues was conceived over nine
years ago. “Who’s Who” is a
cross section of the most outstand
ing pi'rsonalities in America’s un
dergraduate college life today. The
purpose of “Who’s Who” is to
serve as an incentive for students
to get the most out of thcrtr college
careers, as a means of compensa
tion to students for what they have
already done, and as a standard for
students comparable to such
agencies as Phi Beta Kappa and th®
Rhodes Scholorship Award and as
a recommendation to the business
world.
