Page Six THE SALEM 1T E Presidential Campaigns Elicit Political Views From College Students By Betsy Liles The interest in the presidential campaigns at State College has sparked the spring campus elec tions, for they include a poll of presidential preferences. A “State College Eisenhower for President Club” has also been formed, A columnist who recently spoke on the State campus pointed out that Eisenhower was strongest in the South while Kefauver was weakest. A Carolina man sdems to reflect State’s political choice because he thinks that Carolina coeds are “lousy conversationalists” because they know little about national situations and “think Kefauver is cute.” Inscription Is Mystery The biggest topic of conversation on the Meredith campus is not the forthcoming elections but the mys tery of who painted their famous water tank with its latest inscrip tion—Marine Corps. The “angels” say this latest decoration “puts Wake Forest, Carolina, Duke, and State to shame.” At G. C. the college players are preparing for their production of “Uncle Remus.” Crews are work ing on a mill pond, a moon which rides across the sky, tar baby for Brer Fox, and a turtle shell for Brer Turpin. From a poll taken by the ACO National Poll of Student Opinion, it was found that two out of every three college students put in more than 10 hours of study time during a normal school week. Six per cent of the students interviewed didn’t know how much they studied and claimed to have “a very ir regular schedule.” One student says “I’ve never had a normal week.” Unusual Courses Offered If you are in the six per cent catagory maybe a more unusual course would awaken your aca demic interest. “Early Morning Bird Calls” is being offered at the University of Missouri, “Lariat Throwing” at Texas University, and “Dating” at Bowling Green. May 3 is the night of the State College Ring Dance, At Davidson, the Beta Bowery Ball, the Pi Kapp Rose Ball, the Pika Dream Girl Ball, the ATO White Rose Ball, and the Phi Gam Fiji Island Ball will be held on May 10th. David son’s annual ‘“D” club Follies are being presented tonight with a circus, including a tight rope artist, clowns, wrestlers, and a parade. With thoughts of summer vaca tion, the students of the University of Texas have raised the question of final exams.

Dial 4-3611 4th at Trade professors replied that they favored them while some wanted term papers to take their place, and a few felt that “A” students should be exempt. Some Salemites (Continyed from page four) being tutored in trig by her bro ther amidst numerous hunting and fishing trips. Lots of the girls found that they had “Time On Their Hands”. Jean Calhoun spent her time in a sand trap trying to get her golf ball on a green. Most of the seniors just rested up for all the activities that will soon be coming their way with “Pomp and Circumstance” . . . Girls from all classes, but mostly seniors, sang “Wedding Bells” and started planning that “Abba Dabba Honeymoon” that is approaching when “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over.” Returning with engagement rings were Cyndy May, who, incidentally, was sick in bed the day she re ceived it, and Nancy Arnott, who says that she has no story to com pete with Cyndy’s—she just got her ring—that’s all! Mary Scott Livingston has been glowing since she got her follow’s honorary fra ternity pin. Ann Hobbs entertained her “Bill” at her home, while Jo Ann White decided to get married in August—Sarah Hobson sang “I’m Just Wild About Harry” and came back looking forward to the spring dances at Lehigh with him . . . Julia Moore saw “Moonlight and V. P. I.” while Sue Harrison and Betsy Turner went to the Pika ball in Raleigh. Jeanne Harrison left school sing ing “Here Comes Peter Cotton tail.” He came alright, and with him a yellow and black Buick Riviera for her. Don’t know if the Easter bunny brought them or not, but most of the juniors same back with cars, causing the words “Come With Me in My Merry Macshine” to be heard. So it was that Salemites re turned to the campus. Whether they had acquired sunburns, term papers, cars or rings; whether they had seen their fellows or whether they had disposed of those circles that were under their eyes two weeks ago, they all agreed that spring vacation of 1952 should be labled as “Unforgettable.” Ann Lang, Salem Freshman, 0ives Permanents To Friends By Betsy Liles Ann screwed the top on a bottle of neutralizer and laughed, “It s easy. If you follow the directions on the box, they won’t ever fuzz but let me warn you, don’t ever date a boy the night after you have one.” These are the directions of Ann Lang, the “permanent” queen of Clewell, who has curled eighteen heads at Salem College with home permanents. If you’ve ever visited third floor Clewell, you’ve seen strange look ing girls come out of her room with lumpy plastic bags around their heads and heard mumbles like “Ouch, you’re pulling — roll it tighter—how much longer”. But if you live there, you’ll know that Ann is at work, and that the faded spots on her floor are merely where curling fluid has dripped. Ann, who is a freshman from Kinston, first began her career when she gave a permanent to her mother because a neighbor, who was supposed to have given the permanent, was sick. Ann re members, “Mother was' frantic. Her neck was red and splotched.; I spent the whole afternoon roll ing her hair up.” But now Ann can do up a head in a half hour “If I have some good gossip to listen to.” The only time she really suffered from her life as a beautician was when she was giving both Babs Lakey and herself permanents. The timing for both girls was com pleted at the same time, but Ann unwound Babs first. When she finally unrolled her own curls, she took one look, sighed, snatched the scissors and cut it all off. She wore a kerchief for two days. The two drawbacks to permajt- ents, explains Ann, are their odor (the window in her room stayed up all wfiiter) and the fact that all permanents don’t turn out like the hair-do’s in the shampoo ads. (“After I give a girl a permanent, I hide from her for days. I’m afraid to see her!”) When Ann isn’t brewing neu tralizer in her lavatory or bubbling about the “cute air cadets in Kins- ton”, she’s propped up on the bed surrounded by books and an un finished argyle. One night, as she sat bemoaning a low grade she had gotten that day, she philosophied, “I have one consoling thought; if I flunk out, I can plways^^go into the beauty shop business! R T. A. Elects Cuthbertson The Future Teachers of America had their last meeting of the year under the presidential rule of Mary Campbell Craig, Tuesday night. The officers for the coming year are: Loma Faye Cuthbertson, president; Anne Lowe, vice-president; Ann Moye, secretary; Doris McMillan, treasurer and Joan Elrick, recorder. A summary of the North Caro lina meeting of the FTA, held in Asheville, was presented by Nancy Ann Ramsey. Mary Campbell bid the FTA members good-bye and good luck, and Dr. Elizabeth Welch commented on the outstand ing work done by the members of the senior class in FTA. IRC Elects Allen The International Relations Club met Monday night in order to elect officers for the coming year. They are: Barbara Allen, presi dent; Connie Murray, vice-presi dent; Florence Swindell, secretary and Boots Hudson, treasurer. These officers will assume their new duties immediately. Education (Continued from page two) there will be no need. Men strain themselves to furnish educations for their daughters which they would be happier without, and not only happier but better women be Victor, Columbia and Decca Records Fourth at Spruce St. VALERIA HAT SHOP We’ re Glad to Have Your Patronage Nissen Building- cause they would be more tented women.” It has not occurred to me ti dica.es. tribute their unhappiness to t much education. I would r.tk think It was the lack of self-al " tion on the part of women t apply the principles thev t learned. ^ So let us continue to educate our women. If the present treuH continues, the women interested business and professions will b" accepted in increasing number and given a chance to succeed in fbe so-called man’s world. Those ' terested in homemaking—and I be' lieve they comprise the majority-I should no longer find the center of their activities a four-walled prison Instead it can be a place to nur ture the culture of tomorrow’s citizens,| headquarters for com munity service and a center for the development and growth of their own inchoate individualities.
