Page Thre^.
In spite of the dearth of spicyijt'
gdssip on the campus (possibly due
to the piling up of six weeks tests),
your faithful reporter has managed
to dig up a few choice bits which she
■will explicitely relate to our ever
interested (?) readers.
Homecoming activities at the
various colleges will be a magnet
for Salem girls during the next
few weeks. In addition to the al
ready mentioned group going to
H Davidson, Booty Crenshaw has been
getting a mail rush from “Prep”
her to come to Clemson.
A wee bit worried about the ac
tions of Warren, who happens to be
at home, Simmons has made the
momentous decision to take in the
home town to look the situation
over. ^
Home from California Butter Box
thrilled our Tiny Hennis by a, visit
here Monday night . . . Liz and
Luke dressed for blind dates that
failed to make an appearance. Al
so we want to say that we are
liappy for Liz that her brother is
coming home from England . . .
Of course, you couldn’t miss the

visits from Ab Thorpe.
Helen with her poisen ivy and

end at West Point. Maybe it’s a
Sood thing that you came on back
Monday, Betsey . . . and we must
add that Flirtation Walk treated you
n>ore kindly.
Ticka seemed to have enjoyed
Goon's visit last week-end . . .
Barbara Yelverton has given up all
her men to be true to Wimpy Sim-

McElrtiy * went to Charlotte last
Week-end with Edith Boggs for the

And now, from us snoopers to
you readers we must say “Adieu.”

Roth of these plans are subject to
^‘onsiderable criticism. Dr. Confer
Ti'aintained that there is, however,
^ moderate plan. This plan is the
Only simple one, and it avoids un-
^'ecessarv risks. This moderate post
war plan for Germany provides for
•disarmament of all German military
organizations, occupational troops
and German police to keep order,
establishment of a board of dis
armament investigation, trial of
Germans who have comriiitted atro
cities, withdrawal, of troops of oc-
■cupation after three to five years,
and the maintainance of the board
of disarmament inspection to help

Contrary to rumor, she has not
made a movie. She was to have made
a picture, but because she prefers
radio work to movies she decided
instead to accept a contract with
the Prudential Life Insurance Com
pany to appear on the Family Hour.
Two morsels of encouragement to
aspiring voice majors: (1) Patrice
Munsel does not have perfect pitch;
(2) she cannot play her own ac
companiments. She admitted that
she could play nothing unless it was
“Home Sweet Home” and “then
I have to have the music before
me”.
At this point we became conscious
that Mr. Eoss, the accompanist, had
been gently but firmly urging us to
ward the door for the last five min
utes.
We flung one parting question.
‘■‘What .will be your first role of the
season?” Her eyes crinkled impishly
at the corners, and her engaging
dimples appeared again. “It’s a
secret — but it’s wonderful!” And
we, marvelling at the enthusiasm
and charm of the young singer
found ourselves outside the door.
Vardell Describes
Trip To Capital^
Salem music students and faculty
heard an account. of Dr. Vardell’s
recent trip to Washington, D. C.,
Thursday November 9. He had been
invited to the annual Coolidge Foun
dation Festival in the Library of
Congress. This festival is unusual in
that it features the works of con
temporary composers, many of wlrom
are commissioned to write for the
festival.
The music performed varied from
pure classical works by Mozart,
Bach, and Beethoven to such special
ly commissioned works as a' com
position written for. organ, violin,
and viola illustrating certain pass
age of poetry by Carl Sanburg.
Other interesting features were a
quintet played on Stradiv’arius in
struments and a harpsichord and
piano combination. For the final per
formance of the festival Martha
Graham presented three especially
commissioned ballets. The scores for
these ballets were written by the
noted composers Darius Milhaud,
Paul Hindemith, and Aaron Copland.
Dr. Vardell concluded his talk
bj telling of the thrilling exper
ience while in the Library of Con
gress of seeing old manuscripts and
actually holding in his hands the
first music book ever printed.
GiMimg Tlie Lil^?
. ..Here’s your chance, merchandisers,
to take advantage of a new feminine
trend that may spread like wildfire
among the girls.
According to reports from the Uni
versity of Kansas, co-eds were sport
ing fancy or plain pipes—it didn’t
really matter so long as they had
pipes. Cigarette shortages were the
cause of this turn of events on the
campus, and a clerk in one drugstore
reported she had sold a whole card
of 25-cent corncob pipes to Univer
sity co-eds. Another clerk said that
three gals walked in the store, hiked
up their blue jeans,^and said, “Well,
if you’re out of fags, give us a
pipe.”
Well, well, can this be the birth
of a new freedom?

Newest Engisli Teacher
Is A Native Carolinian
Miss Mary I. Shamburger, Salem’s
new English teacher, is really ju.st
North Carolinian returned home.
She is from Star, N. C. in the sand
hill country. One of her hobbies is
running the small farm she owns
near Pinehurst, where she raises
small grain and pine trees for tim
ber.
Miss Shamburger likes not only
the country, but also the large cities.
She came to Salem from Pittsburgh,
which she says is one of her favor
ite cities. When most people think
of Pittsburgh, they think of smoke
and fog (which the people of
Pittsburgh call “smog”!). But Miss
Shamburger says that there is more
to Pittsburgh than that. For Pitts
burgh has its own symphony orch
estra; and each year has the only
international art exhibit in Amer
ica. Since Mis Shamburger is in
terested in both music and art, she
has come to love Pittsburgh.
Another favorite' city of Miss
Shamburger’s is London, where she
Studied for a year. She walked,
sight-seeing, throughout London,
and came to love the city. Inci
dentally Miss Shamburger likes to
travel.-
As far as literature is concerned,
her special interest is in “the letter
as a literary form.” In olden times
the letter was in wide use, but
when telephones and automobiles
came into use, there was no need for
a well-written letter. Now, however,
with boys scattered across the world,
people are writing more and better
composed letters. Miss Shamburger
has published an anthology, I«etters
to Gertrude. These letters were writ
ten by a woman who was one of the
founders of the Woman’s College of
the University of North Carolina.
They tell a great deal about the
customs of that day, and they have
ideas about the importance of edu
cation for women.
MISS SHAMBURGER
Speaking of education. Miss Sham
burger is very much in favor of
a liberal arts education. She is
quite interested in freshman Eng
lish, and she likes Salem’s math-
Latin requirement.
Miss Shamburger is now discover
ing Salem for the first time, although
she is from N. C., and she has
decided that Salem is her favorite
town! One thing that impressed
Miss Shamburger about Salem is the
way the past meets the present.
She says we have an awareness of
good things in the past—in our
architecture and traditions — \ and
yet we are quite aware of the pre
sent-day world. She is impressed
with the number of alumnae rej)-
resenting such a small college in the
armed services.
Mis Shamburger says she has
found here at Salem a feeling that
because the past was good there is
more reason for the present to be
better!
