New club presidents are taking office and need your ideas. This week they have been meeting with their councils to draw up plans for the coming year. Perhaps you have been in on these meetings some of them. Perhaps for those that you have not attended, you have some workable ideas. The President’s Workshop has been set for next Tuesday. There the presidents will dis cuss their organization’s plans for next year. They will discuss the plans and ideas you might suggest. What ideas have you been nourishing? Salemite T H E S A L EMJTE Spring Fever By Elizabeth Krauss You asked me to tell you about my impressions of spring at Salem? Well, the first springy feeling I said Dr. Welch, “you will all turn in your term paper the Monday got was in my nose.; I found that while I did not contract flu during winter, by the first sunny day that I left off my | coat I had a cold so bad that for days I was feeling too bad to look^^ out of my eyes. By the timC that I could look straight again something had changed on the front campus. The tree in front of South Hall was all dressed up in white. That morning when I went to the poilt office I had a feeling as if someone was offering me a bridal bouquet, and I went on hearing the tones of the Bridal March from Lohengrin. Yes, in my box was a letter from ,H'IM ; I knew it. No, he wrote me that he could not come down here for Easter. That was the next impression of spring. Then I thought of the wonderful Easter holidays that were to come, days during which I would lie in the sun all the time and do no thing, I saw myself getting a won derful even brown tan all over; I dreamed of my hair blonded to a , light platinum. Now, now it is really spring, I thought; now it will start, “Yes,” after Easter,” Gone were my dreams' of lazying in the sun. But still I;, was undaunted. If there would be no water, in the swimming pool I would put my feet in the lily pool. And so 1 did I still have shivers upon my spine when I think about how many degrees below zero the water By Bryan Bowman OFFICES Lower floor Main Hall OoWAtown Office^—“304'306 South Main Str^^ Printed by the Sun Printing Company Subscription Price $3.00 a year Published every Friday of lire College year by the Student Body of Salem College Editor in Chief Selma J-ean Calhoun Associate Editors Ali-son Britt.

I liked the Easter service, and I enjoyed Reynolda estate as I was there when the trees were in bloom. And after my sunburn had gone away I really could adm.re the several hundreds of freckles which I got in just a few hours in the sun. And I was sorely tempted this morning at the auction to let some one dye my hair in an even blond. It has gotten rather streaky out in the sun, you know. But you know what made the deepest impression on me? The other day when I came home at about 11:30 p.m. I saw on the bench outside of Clewell dorm three couples equally sharing the moonlight and the spring fever. That was my most shocking spring impression at Salem College. World News By Eleanor Johnson The Milky Way has shrunk; Communists are believed to have infilterated Latin America; Moscow continues the “Peace Offensive”. These and other events take the headlines in today’s newspapers. A revolution in astronomical cal culations concerning the universe has led astronomers to believe that the universe is 4,000,(X)0,000,000 years old instead of 2,000,000,000, 000 years. These scientists have also found that they can now ob serve eight times as much of the universe as before and that the Milky Way is not, as they be lieved, twice as large as other galaxies. But the attention of the world has been centred on a much finer point than the universe. At Pan- munjom, Korea, Allied negotiators are determined not to be “taken in” by the Communists’ peace manuvers. The Reds have agreed to return only 600 ill or wounded out of the approximately 12,000 UN and South Korean prisoners believed to be held. U. S. negotiators agreed to return 5,800 sick and wounded out of the 82,000 who wish to return ■ home. : In this, the fifth week of the “Peace Offensive”, a new change I is noticed in diplomatic relations in Moscow: Russian diplomats for ^ the first time in years turned up at a party given by the U. S. in Moscow. Prime Minister Nehru has an- I nounced that India’s 28th state will I be proclaimed on October 1. The new state, conceived and brought : to political consumation on a lin guistic basis, will be called Andhra. It will include 20,000,000 people who speak Telegu. India’s langu age problem is a serious one and has aroused criticism to the forma tion of the new state on the grounds that it will preserve com munity differences. m By Bessie Smith ^ been reached, but this act helps to George Washington was truly a phenomenal child.
