Inflation And
Communism
[Menace East
by Ruth Lenkoski
The export and import traffic in
the U. S. has been crippled by a
strike of all longshoremen who are
! members of the International Long
shoremen’s Association, of the AFL.
In the East the strike began in New
York, where shippers had to direct
all traffic to other ports. In turn
the union directed the locals in most
of the ports on the East coast. This
crisis, coupled with the eleven week
old strike of longshoremen on the
West coast, has brought almost all
of the United States shipping and
passenger service to a halt.
The union members expect to be
out on strike for a considerable len
gth of time, since they did not ac
cept the compromise which the em
ployers made. Last week the injunc-
^ tion period was terminated on the
injunction which the government
. obtained under the Taft-Hartley
Law last July. Since that time the
union and employers have been ne
gotiating and reached an agreement
—on a ten-cent-per-hour wage in
crease and other benefits. The union
members did not agree to this how
ever, because they asked for a fifty-
cent-per-hour wage increase. The
employers say that they will make
no concessions, but it seems most
likely that they will have to.
While the ‘ ‘ cold war ’ ’ still rages
in Europe, the attention of the
world, for the present, has turned
to China. The Communists now
have possession of all of Manchuria
and a good part of Northern China.
The Nationalists are growing weak
er and weaker militaristieally and
economically. The morale of the
Nationalist soldiers is low. The
morale of the people is low. In
flation exists in its most extreme
form. There seems to be no way
out for Chiang, unless the U. 8.
provides aid immediately. Confer
ences are being held in Washington,
■but the men there think that stop
ping the Communist movement in
Europe comes first. Whether the
needed material and moral aid to
: the starving and vulnerable ^by com-
^ munism) people will he given re
mains to be seen.

ClevuellPingPongChampion
Plays Flute And Knits
by Sis Pooser
During noisy hour you can usually
find her at the piano in Davy Jones
doing Alee'Templeton variations or
just plain boogey, depending on
what you’d like to hear. Or maybe
this current ping pong champ of
Clewell is in the ping pong room
setting those mean shots exactly on
the edge of the table. Anyhow, you
s^ll know Cammy Lovelace. She
hails from Henrietta, N. 0. (she’ll
t.t’t have to explain just exactly where
that is) and is a piano major who
also plays the flute and is partial to
■gtan Kenton’s orchestra.
At present, Cammy is knitting
some unique looking white socks.
For whom? Well, she isn’t quite
sure yet. Most probably they’re for
Max who leads the list of Cammy’s
special likes. That’s easy to under
stand once you get a glimpse of the
lad. That same list by the way, is
lengthy and includes math and
hockey. Her dislikes are few, but
the chief is breakfast; although she
and her roommate Squeaky are de
lightful hostesses at soirees in their
Clewell penthouse. The menu con
sists of peaches and homemade cake
which are two of Cammy’s favorite
foods.
We leave our subject somewhat
entangled in the wool of the white
socks (less white at the cuff) but
with the same sparkle in her eyes.
It’s there all the time—just look
I heard Miss Stout comment after
the Sophomore-Freshman game,
The best game I’ve seen this
year.” and it really was. The Fresh
man kept the Sophomores on their
toes the whole game. While the
Sophomores won 1-0, we give due
credit to the Freshman. The Fresh
man kept the ball in the Sophs’
territory for at least half the game
but when the Sophs got the ball
they dribbled down the field for
about fifty yards and Shirley Baker
made a beautiful drive into the goal
cage. Almost as soon as the hall
went into the goal cage the whistle
blew and the game was over. Out
standing for the Freshman were
Beverly Bryant, Emily Warden,
Myrt Weily, Susan Sherman and
Jane Watson. Outstanding for the
Sophomores were Shirley Baker,
Betty Biles, Jo Dunn and Squeliky
Carson.
Be sure' to attend Chapel Decem
ber 7, in order to know your A. A.
better. There will he an important
program and also the awarding of
letters.

,by Dale Smith
“I don’t want to be inter
viewed”, Janet Zimmer screamed
dropping five stiches in her argyle
socks. “I’m not being modest, I
just don’t want to be interviewed.”
For fifteen minutes she gestured
wildly and mum^bled incoherently.
Her only audible remark was “such
a situation!”
Fortunately I knew a few things
about her already—that she was
from Port Washington, New York—
that she was a sophomore and an
English major. Her roommate, Anne
Spencer, supplied the rest. She told
me that Janet had a nursery school
last summer. Every morning she
tended screaming four-year-olds,
teaching them to paint and filling
them with graham crackers and milk
at mid morning. Her most nerve
wracking experience was trying to
get the poorly coordinated children
to do calesthentics.
Janet spends most of her working
hours in the Salemite office and her
sleeping hours on second floor Cle-
well or on a couch in Davy Jones.
Occasionally she plays a hand of
bridge hut she devotes a large part
of her time to Hygiene and English
Literature. The most interesting
work she has done this year was a
report on the care of the teeth and
gums.
Janet is uncertain ..as to what she
will do when she graduates but she
has been receiving literature from
the H. S. School of Music. This she
hopes will be enough training to se
cure her a position singing A. B. C.
commercials.
