Aft('r lunch is usually the noisiest time in
any smokehouse on campus, but last Wednes
day was the exception. Everyone was bent
over a book. The only sounds were the oc
casional, “Turn to page 36, quick,” or “Look
at that picture of Betsy in the Education
Club”.
Tfie annuals were out, and judging from
the comments, Sis Looser and her staff are to
be congratulated for one of the best annuals
Salem has produced.
Well- cM^044A^,
Surely it isn’t impossible to find two extra
hours a week, ^la^'be ^'ou ha\e to forego a
few hands of bridge or maybe you have to
stay up a little late that night, but it’s worth
it.
It’s worth it to go over to Memorial Hall
to heal’ the graduating recitals. If you don’t
want to h(‘ar really good music, vou can go
to see the recitalists’ new dresses. Or if
you’re still not interested, you can go to see
if there are any interesting looking town
boys there.
You can go for any of these reasons, but
1 believe you'll find yourself listening in spite
of \'ourself.
We note that Stunt Night gives school spirit
a boost. Congratulations to the Seniors and
Aeti . . .
We note that the grass is having an awful
time trying to grow between Strong and the
swimming pool. It isn’t much longer to walk
on the sidewalks . . .
We note that several people are still talk
ing about the art forum. It was a good
thing . . .
We note that there seems to be a new or
ganization on campus, “’ITie Friends of the
Ki-ee Press”, according to a note found in the
Salemite office . . .
We note that people are wearing red faces
and raincoats over sun suits to the dining
hall. Would 1. U. S. ai>prove of the raincoats'?

Dr. (Iramley dismissed chapel yesterday for
us to hear MacArthur’s speech to Congress
with the explanation that history was being
made today.
MacArthur told us what he thought. Tru
man has told us what he thinks. Taft has
voiced his oiiinion. The bus driver bringing
us from a week-end at Chapel Hill reveals his
ideas. Mr. Caldwell has spoken, as has your
roommate or your father. What do you think?
People who listen to ideas help make the
history too. Whether or not they are think
ing about what they hear might show up on
pages of history books as yet unwritten.

Dear Papa ...
By Anne Lowe
Dear Papa,
Just think, me being the daugh
ter of a mayor. Now that's just
the best thing I ever heard—you
being mayor I mean. Since you
are such a big man in politics, I
decided to take a course on cur
rent events so maybe you and me
can help out citizen Truman some.
He seems to be having a pretty
hard time these days.
I’m learning a lot but some
things are a little confusing like
Mr. Truman firing General Mac-
.Arthur. Now why do you think
he did a thing like that? Some
folks say it’s because MacAuthur
was trying to wiit the war and
citizen Truman told him not to
win OR lose it. Then too some
fofks say we aren’t in a war. If
that’s the truth I wonder why
Willy is over in Korea now—
There is something else that’s
been worrying me. Is Great Bri
tain on our side? They have been
selling materials to the Commun
ists in Hong Kong that are being
shipped to North Korea. Papa’,
these materials are being used to
fight the United Nations troops.
Why that’s just like having a boy
friend that goes with two girls at
the same time and kicks himself
for doing it. Sometimes I just
don’t understand people. Then
there’s that Chinese gentleman
named Chiang Kai Shek, the nat
ionalist leader who has been giv
ing our government such a .hard
time. That political party that th?
Yankees call Republican are want
ing to help Mr. Chiang fight. Then
they fuss about citizen Truman
starting World War III. Papa,
these Republicans, did they vote
when you were elected mayor?
There has been a mix-up about
Mr. O’Dwyer I understand. You
know, the man who married the
pretty lady named Sloan Simpson,
It seems that after he was found
guilty in the Kefauver committee
of helping that gangster that our
President sent him back to Mexico
to prove that WE still had con
fidence in him. Personally I don’t
have, and I don’t think George
Washington would either if he
were still president.
The baseball season is open now
and citizen Truman and the rest
of those government gentlemen
took time off to go see the first
game. I do suppose baseball is an
important sport. Papa, if our town
was on fire would you and the
fire department go to a Shriner’s
convention ?
It sure is nice that you’re in
politics now. I’ll write again next
w^eek when I have some more
questions.
Your ever lovdn’ daughter,
Anne
