Salem-Davidson Day has been
scheduled for Saturday, April 26.
Beside “Y” members, a committee
has been chosen to help with the
details, as well as bring in new
suggestions from the student body.
This committee is made up of rep
resentatives from each dorm. They
are: Peggy Watkins—South; Mary
Patience McFall—Sisters, Lib Lee—
Lehman, Ijouise Bodson—Sociletyj,
Jean Sloan—Strong, Betty Hatley
and Ann Dungan—Clewell, and Mar
garet West—Bitting. Any girls who
have suggestions for the entertain
ment are asked to contact these
girls.
All girls who want to take part
in Salem-Davidson Day are asked
to sign a tentative roster, mark
ing w^hether they will have a date
or want a blind date. These sheets
have been placed in each dorm
and will be taken down before
Easter.
The entire day will cost each
girl only $1.^5. This will help de
fray the cost of the meal, a dance,
a movie in the Old Chapel, and re
freshments, as well as a favor for
each boy. The girls who know boj's
at Davidson are asked to invite
them, as it is up to the girls to
ask the boy and not for the boy
to ask for a date. There will be
plenty of blind dates for all the
girls that sign up. If g, Salem girl
has a date from some other place it
is perfectly all right for that couple
to come.
Other plans will be disclosed later.
In the meanwhile, the Y” is open
for student suggestions.

when expediency and familiarity
with the work are needed to prevent

The National College Sophomore
Testing Program will be given at
Salem April 15 and 17, Miss Hix
son, academic dean, announced to
day. The tests will bo given to all
classified sophomores beginning at
2 o’clock on the two days.
The program, which has been
given at Salem for the past four
or five years is especially designed
for sophomores, because at the end
of the sophomore year the student
is supposedly concluding his period
of general education and choosing
his field of specialization. The tost
provides colleges with a method
of measuring the achievements and
interest of their sophomores.
The two teats to be given are
the Cooperative General Culture
Test, a three-hour comprehensive
examination which provides a pro
file of the student’s knowledge of
current social problems, history and
social studies, literature, sciencje,
fine arts, and mathematics. The
test is chiefly a measure of the
cultural background of the indi
vidual regardless of past studies.
The Cooperative Contemporary
Affairs Test covers the fields of
political events, social and econo
mic events, science and medicine,
literature, fine arts, and amuse
ments. It requires 100 minutes of
working time.
Rabbi Rosenthal spoke to the I trading is done by the sponaors
student body in Memorial Hall on] «*? P>-ogram and the results are

dents are two paintings by Mr.
Evett—one of which is the prize-
winning The Carpenter. Included
also in the exhibit are two abstract
paintings by Sue Moore.

case, Isaac, the compelling young
musician who appeared in a con
cert in Reynolds Auditorium last
night under the sponsorship of the
Winston-Salem Civic Music Asso
ciation, replied to the questions ask
ed him by the reporter.
“Yes,” he explained, “the young
musicians are getting more chances
now, and the Civic Music Associa
tion has done a lot to make this
possible. Of course, the thing they
must always be up against in the
professional world is the fact that
old, established artists have more
box office appeal, therefore, the
New York offices cater to them.”
Mr. Stern was perturbed about
the weather. In commenting on it
he said that it was certainly in
line with what he had been used to
in Canada and Buffalo, where he
in March.
Grinning good-humoredly, Mr.
Stern explained that the long ebony
cigarette holder with which he
was smoking was not for looks
but for health.
Isaac Stern’s concert was artis
tically exe«u,ted throughout. The
“Sonata in G Minor” by Tartini
showed his ability to express the
dignity and nobleness of the com
position. Playing difficult passages
with ease and agility, Stfern cap
tured the mood of the lovely
“Symphonic Espagnole” by Lalo.
Following intermission. Stern
played “Sonata in D Minor” by
Prokofieff with a definite flair for
the abstract. The “Slavonic Dance”
by Dvorak, was played with a great
sensitivity by Mr. Stern. Next was
the strange fascinating “Tijuca”
by Milhaud, followed by “Hun
garian Dance” No. 17, which Stern
played wi^h gypsy-lj^e abandon.
“ Jota,” by Manuel de Falla ex
hibited the variety of techniques
which Stern has in command. Aaron
Copland’s “Hoedown”, from Rodeo
is of especial mention because of
the way in which Mr. Stern cap
tured th'?' typical American spirit
of the barn dance. “Carmen Fan
tasy” by Bizet was done with the
same dramatic, fiery touch that
fascinalted the audiences of “Hu
moresque”, for which Isaac Stern
recorded the musical score.
His encores were well chosen and
brilliantly executed. They were
“Waltz” by Tshaikowsky, “Hora
Staccato” by Dinicu, and “Schon
Rosomarin” by Kreisler.
Formerly in the Wanamaker
Collection, Mr. Stern’s violin has
been valued at $100,000. Compara
tively new to Stern, the graceful
instrument has a brilliance of tone
that could rarely be surpassed.
