Page Two. THE SALEMITE November 16, 1945. CIvbs Should Promote Speakers Miss Nell Battle Lewis appeared ih assembly Thursday under the auspices of the Salemite. The assembly committee asked the paper to sponsor her because the committee itself has no funds for such purposes. If other campus organizations would make an effort to sponsor speakers somewhat connected with their undertakings, it would en able the assembly committee to broaden its selection. In many cases speakers could be a real contribution to the work of an organization. A project that has been presented over and over by students might receive new impetus from an outside person. The Salemite regrets that, because of the Civic Music Concert, Miss Lewis did not appear before the Salemite staff. 9 Sit.... By Ilffie Ruth Maxwell The junior-senior hockey game was quite an event—even the most unathletic seniors got excited enough to run up and down the sidelines. The play-day at W. C. might prove to be the first in a series. They will be a great boost to inter-collegiate relationships if the bases are sportsmanship and fun rather than just rivalry. Maybe we could invite them to Salem for basketball. Frizes; To Mr. Evett for the rarest assignments. To Mr. Campbell for his grin on test days. To Miss Iledgeeock for her advanced nuts. To Dr. Willoughby for her forgetful students. To Dr. McEwen for future teachers. To Miss Covington for her numerous clippings. Plug: Salem does need more songs. Even I could probably sing for six pairs of nylons—I’m gonna try! Plug: The victory queen’s crowning doesn’t mean that the sale of war bonds and stamps is over. We’ve still got a long way to go to reach our goal. Plug: Please patronize the Salemite advertisers. They show their interest in college girls by putting ads in the college paper—let’s re ciprocate! Thanksgiving Thi^ year Americans will fall naturally into the holiday spirit, with reservations, though. The darkness behind us and the blankness ahead can not be entirely forgotten. However, Thanksgiving should be a day of pure thankfulness— thankfulness for being alive. If we steep ourselves in the joy of living, surely we’ll be better able to shape into the blankness our c’esigns for better living.

Something else not to miss is Spike Jones’ rendition of Dave Rose’s “Holiday for Strings” ... In all probability poor Mr. Rose is wondering what Spike has against him . . . the song is vi;tim of a conglomeration of cat calls, cackling.s, and general hilarity ... It’s almost as good as “Chloe,” and “Drip, Drip, Drip” on the reverse side is equally violent. . . Murder is the word for what Dr. Vardell and the Phrygian mode did to meek little “Annie Laurie” in chapel Tuesday . . . per haps he and Spike Jones should do a little collaborating (no offense, please, sir!) . . . and even if it has been almost a week ago, I STILL think you played well (private joke) Happj"^ Thanksgiving! Girls Visit Club Three Salem girls, representing the Pier rettes, attended this week a meeting of a Winston-Salem civic club for the purpose of advertising Cradle Song. The club is a na tional organization and its members do much to aid the community. The girls called be fore they went to ask permission and were invited to lunch. They were greeted with whistles and bright remarks when they entered the dining room— and then promptly ignored throughout the meal. In fact, they were so thoroughly ig nored that they were embarrassed at the pro ceedings. At the beginning of the business meeting, one of the girls told the men 'of the forth coming college production. She received po lite attention, and when she finished one man moved that the club give the Pierrettes all pos.sible support. As the girls left they heard a shout to the effect that no second had been given the motion—and general laughter from the men. We suggest that hereafter Salem girls re frain from visiting men’s clubs in Winston- Salem. •' Bill Lacks Clarity The Full Employment Bill, as passed in the Senate and as it now rests in the House Committee on Expenditures, seems on the sur face to be an effective solution to the prob lem of unemployment—a panacea to the evils of the business cycle. But a careful reading of the bill reveals vague terminology and promises which, if fulfilled might mean a change from the capi talist system to state-controlled industry. The bill promises useful, remunerative, and continuous jobs for all. To effect this, a program would be drafted to increase non- Federal investment and expenditure. The difference still remaining between manpower and jobs would then be taken up by Federal investments and expenditures. It seems doubtful that a government could provide full employment—useful, remunera tive, and continuous—without “the operation of plants, factories, or other productive facil ities by the Federal Government; and the use of -compulsory measures of any type what soever in determining the allocation or distri bution of manpower;” for which Section 9 says the bill definitely does not provide. Would not any large-scale program of Fed eral investments and expenditures be of an inflationary nature and therefore dangerous to private industry and enterprise? What is ac tually meant by a useful, remunerative, con tinuous job? The questions which the bill could arouse are many and complicated. It seems a wonder that its ambiguity ever got past the Senate by a vote of 71 to 10. Even the term ‘full employment’ is debat able. It is defined in the last section of the bill as meaning a condition in which the num ber of people without jobs is no greater than the number of available jobs and in which temporary unemployment is no greater than the minimum needed for flexibility in the economic system. Can ‘full employment’ al low for any unemployment? Insofar as the bill provides for the exami nation of the national economic status and a prediction of trends it could be useful as a background for economic or financial legis lation. However, it is a guarantee without adequate backing. The fact that Congress is increasingly aware of government responsibility for un employment is encouraging. But there are other means of meeting the problem—widen ing Social Security and Unemployment Com pensation, for example—which would be more in keeping with democracy and the capitalistic system.
