I Page Four THE SALEMITE October 14. |qi;i; Frosf^ Outing Planned By’Y’ For Oct. 29 By Sue Gregory Have you plans for October 29? Are you tired? Worn out? Sick of studying? Want to spend a free overnight away from Salem and really let your hair down ? Well, Freshmen, this is your chance! Last year’s Freshman Y Cabinet, with the help of this year’s newly- appointed Freshman Y, is planning a way for Freshmen to have just this—an overnight of fun and re laxation. Seriously, Freshmen, big plans are in store. A bus leaves the cam pus at 3 ;00 Saturday, October 29, to take all of you who are in terested out to Camp Betty Hast ings for a night of fun. No quiet hour! Plans have been made for various types of recreation Saturday after noon, i. e. softball, ping pong, and bridge. In the evening we’ll offer a cook- out supper, singing, an informal campfire discussion on our prob lems (boys, for instance) led by Dr. Welch. Sunday morning a big breakfast will be cooked by the Y Cabinet. The climax of the outing will be a communion service conducted by Reverend Sawyer. A bus will get us back in time for that chicken dinner. Goldovsky (Continued from one) chamber orchestra.” A concert by the Houston Sym phony Orchestra is scheduled for March 7. Milton Cross will be con ducting. Byron Janis, American pianist, gives the final concert of the Asso ciation series April 9. All concerts will be at 8:30 p.m. at Reynolds Auditorium. Doors will open at 8:15 p.m. Test Report (Continued from Pa^e One) sidered “upholding the ideals of Salem” a responsibility, but only a minority remembered our specific privileges, and responsibilities. The following is an answer by a freshman that combines the general and the specific: “We are respon sible to uphold the honor system and to abide by the rules and regu lations. We have the privilege of governing ourselves and electing our own officers; there is no fac ulty domination. We have the right to petition for changes in the rules or regulations if we think they need changing. We are re sponsible to attend S. G. meetings and to support the S. G. A.” And then there were differences of opinions. “Your conscience is your guide, and you should feel that you should follow the rules and report yourself and others.” “If another student does wrongly and fails to report herself we may or may not report her, but in a sense it is our duty.” “To me, it (the honor system) means that whenever a girl breaks one of these rules, it is strictly be tween her and her conscience. The honor system is no good if it means reporting other people.”, And now this discussion must turn to that last question—“State any regulations that you feel are unnecessary and give reasons why you feel as you do about it.” The regulation cited most as being un necessary concerned overnights. A junior summed up the general feel ing in the following answer: “A student should be allowed to de velop self-discipline and discretion by having her choice of whether she will stay here on the week ends. Otherwise she is not being prepared for an independent life after college.” Along this same line, some Salemites feel that a girl should not be limited to two overnights per six weeks if she has failed or con ditioned her work—particularly if she has made up her deficiency by taking a re-exam. Others objected to some of the I. R. S. rules and suggested that students be allowed to wear Ber mudas to the library, to the soda shop, to the book store, and to classes. Some of the reasons for their suggestions were: more com fort makes for better study, Ber muda shorts outfits (shorts, knee socks, blazers, and shirts) are just as “full dress” as a skirt and sweater, and more girls would use the library. There was one objection to re quiring three girls for such things as attending church on Sunday night. Several girls felt we should be allowed to sign out for out-of- town day trips at any time. One or two freshmen felt that members of their class should not have to have permission for such trips. One girl questioned the necessity of filling out medical blanks each year. Four Juniors objected to the 11:00 curfew on Sunday nights be cause it does not allow enough time to attend a movie. Several Salemites wish our cut allotment depended less on grades, on the grounds that “we should know, according to maturity, if we should cut.” An equal number questioned the reasoning behind re quiring upperclassmen to take the handbook test each year. And then there were suggestions that a better system be devised for signing out for church in Clewell— that some means be provided for transporting girls to Tanglewood— that quiet hour be enforced. And more suggestions — “I think the honor rules should be stated more clearly. Obviously the honor sys tem takes in such things as cheat ing or lying and signing out and in, but what else ?” “I think that musical, literary, and other cultural societies could be fostered by the Student Council.” How can these things be reme died if they should be? Where can a girl discuss these things if she should like to ? The student body has the right of petition. The Stu dent Council will discuss sugges tions, and invites any Salemite to attend the “smoke-filled” Stee Gee office in Sisters’ any Monday at five o’clock. The Student Government Asso ciation will have a meeting m chapel on November 1. The Salem ite very often publishes Letters t the Editor. I will be in the St'* Gee office every Monday aftertio'j from three until five.
