THE SALEMIT E
Bobbie Kuss
Bobbie Kuss, Girl-Of-Month,
Swims, Plays Hockey, Paints
By Jo Bell
“I’m so surprised — I never
thought of myself as being an ath
lete !” Bobbie sat down and ner
vously fingered the silver hockey
medal she won this year.
Bobbie is the daughter of Mr,
and Mrs. R. W. Kuss of Allen
town, Pa. She has been an active
member of the A. A. Council and
played on the freshman hockey
team. She was later elected a
member of the varsity team.
Near the end of school you’ll
probably find Bobbie splashing
around in the swimming pool. “I
was practically brought up in a
swimming pool—so were my two
little sisters.” All three of the
Kuss girls pick swimming as their
favorite sport. Last summer Bob
bie was swimming counselor at
Camp Moseywood in the Pocono
Mountains of Pennsylvania.
Dances With Leg In Cast
There is one experience Bobbie
had which she’ll never forget. Five
weeks before the Junior Prom she
was trying to high jump and broke
her leg. She made it to the dance
though, in a new evening dress—
and a white cast on her leg! She
later slipped on the ice and broke
her arm. In spite of these “minor”
injuries she’s still going strong in
the field of sports.
Bobbie’s interests are by no
means limited to athletics. She
had planned to major in art, but
thinks now that she might change
to a foreign language major. Her
roommate, Rooney Barnes, says
Bobbie never studies, but somehow
or other she manages to make
Dean’s List. She was elected Sec
retary of the Freshman Class and
is always willing to make another
poster for the Pierrettes or write
an article for the Salemite.
The funniest thing that has hap
pened to Bobbie since she has been
at Salem happened last semester.
She had an 8:30 a.m. religion
class, but failed to wake up until
8:45. She dashed to class, rain
coat over pajames and calomine
lotion on her face. To her dismay
she found there was no empty desk
in the class room, and she had to
sit at Mr. Sawyer’s desk-—in front
of everyone! She now has a hor
ror of being late to class.
Nice To Live With
Speaking from a roommate’s
point of view, Rooney says that
Bobbie is easy to get along with,
even though she does often decide
—at 1:30 a.m.—that the room needs
cleaning. Room .124 is the center
of interest in Clewell when Bobbie
gets those big cans of Allentown
pretzels and invites everyone in.
Any spare time Bobbie has is
spent playing bridge, knitting ar-
gyles, eating seafood, or just think
ing about a certain ATO “points
north”. She loves the way “you
kids” shag down here, but she can’t
seem to learn how we do it.
She tried to think of her dis
likes, but after- five minutes, she
gave up; she was sure there was
something, but she couldn’t think
of a thing. She is sure of one
thing though—she’s crazy about
Salem, and that’s what counts!

Lion Disappears From Davidson Campus
By Eleanor McGregor
The SAE’s at Davidson are try
ing to discover what happened to
the big iron lion which wa’s in
front of their fraternity house.
Leo’s origin is rurnored to have
been the campus of Washington
and Lee.
Apparently, two Davidsonians
transferred the lion to their local
chapter house, and the fraternity
had planned to mount it on a per
manent slab of cement. Leo is
supposed to have had the ability to
detect unblemished females and
identify them with a growl and
three shakes of his tail.
At Wake Forest students held a
mass meeting to discuss improve
ments needed for the college. The
Student Council compiled a report
of this discussion and submitted it
to President Harold W. Tribble.
The report contains such ques
tions as; Why do Wake Forest
students not receive better seats at
their football games? Does chapel
have any definite purpose? Why
is there such a limited choice of
courses offered?
Students also questioned the poor
quality of instruction by some
faculty members and the ability of
student teachers to teach classes.
They asked for improvement of the
college grounds, more information
about what is being done to their
future campus at Winston-Salem
and a reading day to allow more
time for preparation for exams.
Hampden-Sydney Chosen
Hampden - Sydney has been
chosen as the first college to take
part on a new series of nation
wide radio programs sponsored by
the National Council of Churches.
The program, “Banners of Free
dom,” will feature 11 church-affi
liated colleges. Hampden - Sydney
was chosen first in the series be
cause of its historical background.
It was founded the same year as
the founding of the United States.
The Davidsonian reports that stu
dents at Davidson are following
the national trend in their pre
ference for B. S. over B. A. de
grees. Of the 123 seniors, 110 are
working for B. S., and only ,13
plan to receive a B. A.
This proportion also holds true
for the undergraduates, of whom
78 have applied Jor B. A. and 600
for B. S. A possible reason for
this increase in applicants for the
B. S. degree is the stress being
placed on the specialized and the
practical in public school systems.
This stress, according to David
son registrar, F.'W. Hengeveld, is
forcing colleges to educate men in
narrower fields. As a result, most
professional schools no longer re
quire a heavy load of the classics.
Another reason for this increase is
a broader interest in the sciences.
They crossed swords with the wrong man
when they engaged this swashbuckling senior
in combat! At first, he was foiled by the tricky,
“one-puff” . . . “one-sniff” cigarette mildness tests.
But he parried their thrusts with this gleaming
sword of logic; The only way you can judge
mildness is by steady smoking. That’s the true
test of cigarette mildness!
Ifs the sensible test . . . the 30-Day Camel
Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels
as your steady smoke, on a day-after-day,
pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments! Once
you’ve tried Camels for 30 days in your “T-Zone”
(T for Throat, T for Taste), you’ll see why ...
After all the Mildness Tests
