Paf^e Two. THE SALEMITE November 8, 1946. Makei. PUa The Y. W. C. A. ijii Salem campus has seveial activities every week that seem to slip by unnoticed by the niajority of the stu dent body. These are Vespers every Sunday evening at 6:45, Y-Watch every Thursday night at 10 ]). m. in each dorm, and the mornino chapel services every ^klondav, Wednesday, and Fri day at 8:15 in the Home Cluu’ch. These services are carefully planned every week for the benefit of students, and yet a very small n’Mnber of students take advantage of them. They are all short programs—15 minutes or less, and should be attended by all students. Attendance at Vespers is not compulsory as it is in many schools and often there are too few people there to merit the work of its program committee. Y-AVatch has been well attended this year except in Clew’ell and Bit^ ting. A few minutes in the morning for devo tions should help everyone start the day otf right. How a))out showing a little appreciation and cooperation with the “Y” as well as help ing your own self by taking advantage of these services whenever yov; are around? J. S. Om CampMl Amid the glow of Salem’s 175th birthday celel)ration, it is appropriate for us to remember that the responsibility is ours today to per petuate her progressive ideals for future Sa'eriiites, as the founders in 1772 did for us. As they kept pace with the thought trends of tlieir time, so we must do with those of today. To understand curi‘ent events, whether they be of international or campus importance, liberal minds that are open to the suggestions of others are needed. We can no longer afford t« restrict our thinking with conventional l>arriers set up by our nature sections. The 1946-47 term offei’s us an unprecedented opportunity to develop this liberalism. For one thing we have for the first time men stu dents, forty of whom have seen foreign service. Also among the students there are representa tives of 22 states and 14 different denominations of the Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish faiths. With such a variety of backgrounds and ex perience, surely we do not all think alike. Here is our chance for enlightening discourses on economic, political, and social problems. Like the International Relations Club and ilr. Leach’s informal Sunday night discussion groups, let us take advantage of it—not to prove the other side is wrong, but to dispel our own misconceptions and develop the art of judging with knowledge and propriety. If the representatives to the United Nations Conference were as cosmopolitan as we at Salem 'are, would the world have peace? November 5, 1946 Dear Students; Davy Jones Locker is the creation of this year’s Junior Class, but it is not their entire responsibility. Now it is* being used more than ever by everyone on campus. It is the personal responsibility of each girl who smokes or studies there to see that furniture is not torn up, and to clean up her share of the cigarette butts and books scatter ed on the floor. I'n'ess all students using the room realize the value of Davy Jones as a recreation room, it’s original purpose will be lost. Signed, ORDER OF THP: SCORPION 2aoie Me, Rut..

One of the most delightful pastimes yet is to wait outside of Miss Covington’s door on test days and catch the comments there on . . . golly. A college president at 34! Who? ... Dr. Martha Lucas the new president of Sweetbriar. Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler went up for the impressive Ceremonys.

Sunday morning break fast in Davy Jones is mighty . . . Don’t forget those dimes and quarters for the juke box' (Junior plug). We could go on and on, but here is as good a time as any to take a bit of Dr. Willoughby’s advice. The advice? “Why waste words?” Sl2 WgeKS T C5T5 BeFORe j y Vi DuR-ING- Qlofifi QUati Have you heard the groans and moans coming from Memorial Hall way?? Yep . . . you guessed it!

Wouldn’t you know it, with that Peterson man in charge! jHette^ 7a 74e £dUo^ To the PMitor: This year the Salemite had not printed any social column at all until the October 25 edition of the paper. The students were asking one another why I The obvious answer was that the Salemite disapproved of the so called “Gossip Column” because it lowered the paper’s standing. « A representative group of the Student Body agrees' with the Salemite that we should try to uphold the standards of the paper, but at the same time, we think that the student’s interest should be considered. This does not mean that we are not interested in the ac tivities on campus, but a poll of student opinion would show that a larger percentage of the students would have a greater interest in the Salemite if it contained personal items. Since many of the students live in different dormi tories, a column brings them in closer contact with what the individual in other dorms is do ing. We are not asking foi- “trival remarks and catty questions,” but we feel that there is a correct way of presenting social items in the paper. Our plea is not for a high school gossip column, but as this is a college paper, the Salemite staff should have some members capable and clever enough to write an article about the personal activities of the girls them selves.
