Page Four THE S AL EMITE Friday, November 14, 195 Why Not Be A Conformist? (Our) hallowed halls have long been ringing with the cries of non- con f o r tn i t y. Nonconformity of thought, nonconformity of mind— nonconformity of anything. Heitig a confirmed conformist this distresses me greatly. If this jKipidar myth gains momentum there is no telling what may hap- ])en. Already many of our larger colleges and universities are filled to the brim with seedy looking, heat generation type nonconform ists who dedicate their lives to writing ridiculous poems and philo sophy, rebelling against anything accepted, living with extravagant absurdity. Now f would like to turn my thoughts ... to the other 99 44/100 per cent of the world. The world of the conformist. He goes through life unhappy, lie is unhappy be cause he is part of a vast group of people who are also unhappy. They tire supposedly unhappy be cause they are not recognized. They are supposedly unhappy be cause they mouth the thoughts of others. The fact that they think basically what others think has nothing to do with it. Well, I think basically the same things other people think, I conform, and 1 am blissfully happy. Now let us turn our attention to that oft-desecrated American insti tution, Suburbia. The typical fel low marries the girl next door and moves to- Suburbia. The picture is complete—the ranch house, two-car garage, wife in shorts, and (the nonconformity advocate shudders to think of it) a barbecue pit. What is wrong with the ranch house, two-car garage, wife in shorts and sturdy, well-constructed brick barbecue pit? Yet the ad vocate of nonconformity believes this to be a bad influence—it con forms people. Well, if all people conformed in that manner it would be a hell of a happy world. Yet I suppose 1 must concede that nonconformity is necessary in this world for a certain degree of change. Yet I wonder if Hegel, Freud and Pasteur were going to our school whether or not they w'Otild have a belt in the back. —Pete Baptiste THE COLUMNS Westminster College Fulton, Missouri UNICEF Reports On Drive Results Home Economics Department Offers Majors A Wide Variety Of Courses BAR So.

Last week there was a drive to raise money for UNICEF—the UNITED NATIONS CHILDRENS FUND. Boxes were put in each dorm hoping that every girl would sacrifice a few pennies to help the children of the world. For their size Bitting, Babcock, and Lehman contributed well. Why didn’t other girls find time to drop in a few pennies, hear the announcements, care about the welfare of the world, or go by the sign out sheets ? Everyone should have contributed something. See how your dorm compared to others: Babcock $6.17 Bitting 2.93 Clewell 1.71 Lehman 1.08 South .94 Sisters .35 Strong .24 Total $13.42 A thanks from UNICEF to all those who contributed. Enter the Science Building, walk up three flights of stairs and you will find ydurself in the midst of sewing machines and ranges, re frigerators and formica-topped work areas . . . the Home Economics Department at Salem College. Headed by Mrs. Margaret Snow, the department offers a variety of courses with majors available in nutrition, home economics educa tion and general home economics. Contrary to general thought, these majors cover more than Water Boiling 101, Skirt Hemming 204 and Dish Washing 306. The Home Economics Depart ment has two instructors, Mrs. Snow and Mrs. L. E. Stewart.’ Areas of study include clothing selection and construction for both beginners and advanced students, costume design, tailoring and tex tiles. In the study of foods and nutri tion, the Home Economics Depart ment offers courses in cookery, j selection, preparation and preserva tion of foods. A chemical study of foods and the fundamental nutri tive requirements for human nutri tion, under various social and eco nomic conditions is offered in the nutrition course. Institutional marketing and management, quan tity cookery and diet therapy are also in the curriculum. No Home Economics major is complete just with foods and fab rics so the girls in the department also take child development and home nursing. ■ They study, the elements of art as applied to in terior decoration and find out how to plan and furnish a home. Finally, in the senior year, the majors take problems in home management and apply their over-all knowledge dur ing six weeks of home management house residence. Not all of the Home Economics majors work is just on campus how ever. Cars filled with lab groups may be seen any day taking trips to local dairies and meat companies. Home planning groups inspect local furniture stores and visit manu facturing centers such as Tomlin sons in High Point.

After seeing the lot of Hon Economics majors running back at forth from the Science Building h labs and lectures; signing in an out for field trips, the favorite can pus question is, “just where is a of that going to get you?” A major in dietetics prepares th student for appointment as studen dietitian in hospital schools ap proved by the American Dieted Association. After a period of in ternship, the student will be registered dietitian. Home Economics education pre pares the student to teach horn economics in secondary schools an a general home economics majo provides the basic training neces sary for careers as commercis demonstrators, costume designers interior decorators, home demon stration agents, home makers an research workers. •SHiiiiautiuuuuaimuiaiuaHiHHtiiiKitiHHmflianmHHwmiMHiHiiiniiiiiiHiiHniHiiuitNinflHHwiiintimiHiiiicmiHmiiuiiS Want To Go When Yon Want To Go CALL Phone PA 2-7121 For Nice Things To Wear and Relaxed Suburban Shopping Visit THRUWAY SHOPPING CENTER Home of LANZ Dreises and Smart Sportswear Coordinates Open ’Til 9:00 P.M.
