IRS feels that every Salem
student has the good judgment
to know whether she is appro
priately dressed for any occas-
ion. IRS is responsible for the
social standards of the Salem
campus community; however, the
organization does not wish to
dictate a student’s dress. IRS
does expect every Salem girl to
be well-groomed and appropri-
ately dressed at all times both
on campus and off campus.
We are not millionaires like
Reynolds or Babcock.
We don’t have lots of money to
invest in bonds or stocks
Of what we have we spend too
much and waste an awful lot
And now there comes the XXX
with need for what we’ve got.
With this as a theme song, the
committee on student contributions
to Salem’s current fund drive will
begin its campaign on April 30.
Sue Cook, chairman, and her co
workers, Frances Bailey and Diane
Shull, have planned activities
uhrough May 4 to develop enthus
iasm for the Twentieth Decade
Fund and to promote one-hundred
per cent participation among the
students.
During lunch on Monday, April
30, the committee will kick off the
campaign with a short original skit
and an introduction of the theme
song. At dinner that evening, one
member of the committee will sit
at each table to answer any ques
tions the students may have about
the fund and to give additional in
formation on contributions. Tues
day the committee will give another
skit in assembly. The campaign
will be climaxed on Wednesday
night with the personal contact of
every student by two persons ap
pointed on each hall. A final an
nouncement of total student parti
cipation and contributions will be
made in assembly on Thursday.
Publicity will help to keep cam
pus enthusiasm at a maximum dur
ing the four day drive. A salt

flowing from each window will be
on display in the refectory to re
mind students of the campaign. In

We are not millionariesses like

Of what we have we spend too
much and waste an awful lot
And now there comes the XXX
with need for what we’ve got.
We need a building for fine arts
to enlarge departments there
If we don’t get a new dorm soon
we’ll pitch tents in the square
And so you see it is a case of
needing money bad
And if we give to the XXX
we really will be glad.
We give up cokes and candy bars
and meals at the DB
Quit riding taxi cabs uptown and
walk because it’s free
Contributions add up but still
we’ll never be content
’Till everyone gives to the XXX
and we claim a hundred per
cent.
Speech Class Presents
Play "Under Milk Wood"
Wednesday, May 2, at 8:00 in
Old Chapel the oral interpretation
:lass, directed by Mr. Raymond
Carv'er, will present Under Milk
.Vood, a Play for Voices by Dylan
homas. There will be no admis-
ion for the performance.
The play was completed in 1953,
month before Thomas died. Fie
had been working intermittenly on
he play for almost two years.
In 1953, the publication of his
Collected Poems marked the end of
one period of Thomas’ literary de
velopment. At this point, he in
tended turning from the strictly
personal kind of poetry to a more
public form of expression. He was
also going to develop large-scale
dramatic works where not only his
genius for poetry would be utilized
but his gifts for humor and char
acterization as well. Under Milk
Wood is one of the few projected
works which has been preserved.
The one act play is a description
of a small Welsh town by the sea.
The action is limited to the town
itself with hardly a suggestion of a
world beyond the town. The langu-
ape used in the play is Anglo-
Welsh.

Chorus; Carolyn Ausbon, Judy Cos-
ton, Marguerite Harris; Myfanwy
