THE SALEMITE
February 11,1944.
Sports Rgmbling
“Ilmmmm, 4:45, we’ve been at
this for fifteen minutes! Here eomes
that tall veteran freshman again.
She’ll be the death of me yet. Oh
no, you’re not going to have that
ball. Well, take it if you insist
Yipe, she made a basket! Hav
your glory now, sisteT, it won’t
happen again!” These thoughts
are just an excerpt from a sopho
more’s afternoon in the gj'm, con
cerning primarily the fine art of
basketball.
All of this to lead up to telling
you that our basketball seaso:i is
well underway. Practices begin be
tween 4 and 4:30 every afternoon.
So far there has been quite a turn
out. The freshmen seem to con
template the idea of redeeming
themselves from the fate they su
fered in the hockey season by re
peating what the frosh of >ast year
did—walking off with the tourna
ment.
It will be no easy victory for
them because those last year’s green-
ies are this year’s sophs and are the
only class to have had a complete
team down in one afternoon thus
far. The juniors are making an at
tempt much to be commended, but
seniors are scarce as men around
the gym. There are usually substi
tutes down to boot, something that
used to be scarce.
What happened to the faculty?
Not a peep have we heard since the
students challenged them to that
‘ ‘ showdown on the hardwood.” Since
admission to the anticipated game
will be at least a ten-cent war stamp,
it looks as though they should be
patriotic! Surprisingly enough, the
faculty of Mary Baldwin College,
Va., challenged the students to a
game and posted the names of the
faculty players and subs!
Interest in the riding elub has
been gratifying. The membership
of the club now exceeds 30. Their
new programs and plans are very
attractive to equestrian-minded Sa-
lemites.
Well that’s all for now—see yon
at the gym!
P. S.—Don’t forget the A. A.’s
formal on Feb. 19. It’s one of the
big four of the year.
REPORTER MAKES NEWS
Martha Boatwright, reporter for
the Salemite, was assigned her story
as usual at the regular Salemite
Tiiettiug on Monday. Copy readers,
however, found her story missing
at the dead line Tuesday night, and
in place of an account of Thursday
assembly found this note:
‘ ‘ Mary Louise,
Martha Boatwright drank some
household ammonia last night, by
mistake, and is in the infirmary.
She couldn’t write her article and
said to express her deepest re
grets.”
So, instead of writing up news
this week, “Boatie” is in the news—
and painfully!

around the campus. There are fract-
ernities but no sororities.
There are four ^potions to the'
University of Berlin: Juristic,
rheological. iledical and Philoso-
•hical. Each elects a dean, and
iointly they elect the one main dir
ector. Many of the ancient Latin
customs and expressions have been
kept on the campus.
After World War I tlie Universitj"
if Berlin had many struggles with
which to contend. The .students,
many of whom were poverty strick
en, had to survive on poor food,
insufficient lighting, and poor heat-’
ing. It was a hopless German nation,
but the students kept on with their
struggle to attain knowledge.
Discussions about Hitler started
early. He was deemed as a hope for
the depressed German youth. But
since he has come into power there
have been many changes forced
upon the University of Berlin. The
Jews were mistreated, and even
tually expelled. Some were weak in
their resistance to Hitler and tlTe
tyranny that his regime has brought,
but Dr. Lachmann closed her talk
with these words: “God and history
will forgive those who bowed.”

Mr. Charles H. Higgins of thr

ed the ways of civilization. As ser
vants these people are poor. Some
are used to ride the ranges as cattle
herders. Since they have little to
live for, they are rapidly dying, and
the population is now about thirty
thousand. The tribe, not the family^
is the basis of their society. Until
the age of twelve, the boys live with
the women and after that they are
initiated into manhood. This initia
tion consists of severe physical hard
ships, thus following the custom of
most primitive tribes. Mr. Gillan
ders concluded by impressing us
with the fact that the bushmen aje
primitive but are not wild nor harm
ful.
An informal discussion followed
while refreshments were served.
In the business session of the
meeting, Elizabeth Bernhardt told
the members of the elub of a Inter
national Relations Club Conference
which will take place in Greensboro
on March 11 and 12. All girls in
terested in the conference can see
Elizabeth Bernhardt for details.
