bulletin board outside of the Day
Students Center.
The Y Cabinet is beginning to
start plans for a Salem-Davidson
Day which will take place at Salem
some time before Easter. No defi
nite action has been taken because
the cabinet wants to question stu
dents regarding their opinion of
such a program.
Postive action is being taken to
improve worship services on the
Salem campus. The cabinet desires
a considerable increase in atten
dance at Y Watch, Morning Ves
pers and Sunday V'espers. During

the morning service.

six girls from the group. These

that receive the most votes from
the students will appear before a
