[Truman Plan
by Ruth Lenkoski
A battle of words continues to be
[waged in the U. N. Supposedly the
disagreement is between Western
Powers and Russia, but often the
most heated discussions occur be-
I tween the United States and Russia
'with the small powders acting “as
mediators”.
The continual play on words is
confusing to the layman because he
has no way of knowing how much
of what has been said is propoganda
and how much is straight facts. Now
Vishinsky' has violently accused this
country of urging the Nazis to at
tack the Soviet back in 1939. Of
course Austin, a U. S. delegate in
the U. N., denied such an accusation.
Vishinsky declared that he is pre
pared to prove our attempt at a
secret agreement with the Nazis, if
necessary.
Action on the Berlin Blockade
therefore is at a standstill. We de
finitely will not accept any compro-
: mises, Russia denies that there is a
blockade and that she herself is
un-eo-operative. Meanwhile in the
course of discussion, the U. 8. an
nounced that she intends to step up
her armament program until a safe
peace is agreed upon.
Many proposals are being made by
, all candidates—some similar, some
different. The following is Tru
man’s Eight Point Program in re
gard to national affairs:
1. Repeal of the Taft-Hartley
Labor Act.
2. An increase in the national
minimum wage from 40 to 75
cents.
3. Extension of social security in
surance to large groups of peo
ple not now protected.
4. Boosting of such benefits by ap
proximately 50 per cent.
5. Expansion of facilities for look
ing after the nation’s health.
6. Federal aid to states for edu
cation.
7. Federal aid for slum clearance
and low rent housing.
8. Action at once against high
prices.
(During the next few weeks I
shall try to give you the platforms
of the other candidates.)

annual State Convention of the or
ganization to be held this year at

Greensboro attorney, to speak on the

The Salem Chapter is glad to re
port some progress in its drive for
membership. The chapter is in the
process of establishing a monthly
meeting date. A different speaker
is planned for each month. These
meetings will be conducted on the
order of a seminar. Speakers will
be chosen for their merits in some
particular phase of World Govern

Hulme Writes New Book;
Prefers Southern Flirts
by Lola Dawson
“I’m sleepy” was the first in
teresting thought Dr. Hulme told me.
came into his head. With this stimu
lating comment began my interview
with the new head of the English
department.
Dr. Hulme is a native Tar Heel
from Asheville and has written a
book of mountain ballads about
Reems Creek which is soon to come
off the Rutger’s Press. Plus the
ballads he is spending his spare
time rewriting a novel which is
based on the effects of reconstruc
tion in the South.
When it comes to women he said,
“I think that the return of service
men definitely influhced the change
of styles and personally I think that
they are charming. I also think that
American girls are most attractive
and southern young ladies have a
most delightful way of flirting. Of
course, women are women, but there
is a definite difference in the south
ern girl’s technique. ’ ’ Sounds like
the voice of experience.
Dr. Hulme received his A. B. at
Carolina and taught at the Univer
sity of Minnesota for four years.
His subjects were poetry, creative

Norman Jarrard, George Melville,
Henry Highsmith and Robert Gray,
pictured above, are, the newly elec
ted officers of the Men’s Organi
zation on Salem Campus. They will
be the steering committee for all
the men’s campus activities during
the coming year. The organization
will function chiefly as a social
roup, sponsoring informal dances
and a sports program.
Norman Jarrard, secretary of the
organization, is a math or English
major (maybe both) and is in his
third year at Salem. When asked
why he liked Salem he said, “Gen
erally speaking, because of the good
faculty.” He is interested in philo
sophy, books and an avid stamp col
lector and sports fan. He likes all
sports—no favorites. Since he is a
married man, he says that the Salem-
ites don’t bother him one way or
the other (except for making classes
a little more pleasant.)
George Melville, another married
co-ed, is vice-president of the or
ganization. He is an economics
major and plans to transfer to the
University of Kentucky next year
as a junior. His wife and two child
ren are his chief interest, but he
finds time for the Elks, chess and
philosophy. He too approves of the
Salemites—the friendly ones.
The treasurer of the Men’s Organi
zation is Henry Highsmith. This is
his fourth year here, and he is a
chemistry major. Henry i.'J a mem
ber of the Lablings and is interested
in the World Federalists. He loves
music, especially piano and Bach.
Radio is his pet hobby and he claims
fame as a “ham operator”.
I Robert Gray, president of the or
ganization, is a junior and plans to
graduate (optimist, this boy) in
11950. He is chairman of the World
Federalists’ Committee on campus
and is an active worker in that
field. Railroads are his main in
terest—although he admits he is a
movie fan of the first water. One

Nicholson Tikes Salem;
Yet Dislikes Domesticity
m.
Like all people. Dr. Hulme has
hobbies, which are music and dogs.
He thinks that “boogie-woogie is
heavenly and the only thing lacking
around here is the presence of
friendly, beautiful dogs.”
As for as his personal philosophy.
Dr. Hulme told me he has a combi
nation of two mottoes, one by So
crates and one by Emerson. “Know
thyself. Trust thyself.”

full of a vigorous and active men’s ; where she dabbled in Stee Gee poli-
organization. | tics, was president of her class and
learned to do a Highland Fling!
She plays tennis but that is the
only sport in which she participates.
Otherwise she is an enthusiastic
spectator, verified by the fact that
she once was a cheerleader.
As for being the typical absent-
minded professor she told me about
the gruelling experience she had when
she lost her wallet in a taxi the
other night. In fact, she was ex
hausted and wished that I would
leave but I pressed on for a few
more details.
Under the category of likes and
special interests (she doesn’t like
the word “hobbies”) she confessed
that she likes to read, and especially
enjoys working with dramatic pro
ductions. She was sponsor for the
King College drama club and has
done work with the Carolina Play-
makers although she was not in that
department. As for teaching, she
likes it but' does not plan to get
her Ph. D. Later she plans to go
into guidance and personnel work on
the college level. Her dislikes are
strong and include historical novels
and anything domestic such as knit
ting, sewing or cooking.
When I asked her the usual big
question, “How do you like Salem?”
She answered in three simple words,
“I like it!”
