Salem hosted the Catawba Col
lege hockey team last Thursday,
only to come out on the short end
of a 4-0 score. Following the game,
the two teams had supper together
and had an opportunity to get ac
quainted with each other.
The Salem team, captained by
Elsken Rutgers, expresses the opin
ion that the Catawba team was
capable of beating any team they

In the room behind the Day Stu-
Ident Center is the Day Student
[Center. Not only is the name con
fusing, but there is often confusion
[about just what day students are.
'o the boarding students, they are
;he girls who thrive on home-cook
ing and are the underclassmen with
;ars. To the day students them-
[selves, they are the girls who burn
hubby’s dinner while working math
iroblems and are late to classes
)ecause of traffic jams. Otherwise,
lay students are just like any other
"students. Yes, they do have to go
to classes and assembly! The only
lifference is that they live at home
ind live by home rather than dorm
•ules. (No sign outs!)
The day students function as a
;roup on campus sponsored by Dr.
filmer Sanders. They are both a
"non-budget student government or
ganization and a social group. As
an organization, the day students
are represented on the Student
lovernment legislative and judicial
wards, the Y Cabinet, and the
IRS Council. As a member of
tegislative Board, the president of
the day students is the business
manager of the handbook, and the
(lay students are busy each year in
a pre-exam scurry to get the ads
sold before school is out.
J The most enjoyable “work” the
■ay students engage in is sponsor
ing social activities. Their favorite
I Is the annual Christmas Tea, to
I'hich they invite the faculty, ad-
linistration, and students for a
[ample of homemade cookies and
ihristmas cheer. They also spon
sor a tea each year at the begin
ning of orientation for the new
students and their parents.
But activities are never a true
picture of any group. The every

Student Center is much more im
portant to them as individuals and
as a group. This year the Day Stu
dent Center has been rather quiet,
compared to last year’s constant
bridge games and noise. The start
ing of Y Watch on Wednesday
afternoons after lunch has stimu
lated discussions on things that
really matter—and things that don’t
really matter. Almost anytime,
girls can be found in the Center
studying, comparing experiences
and ideas in practice teaching, dis
cussing religion, life goals, wedding
plans, the woman’s role in marriage
and in society, or last week’s
parties.
The boarding students are always
welcome to drop into the Day Stu
dent Center, to get acquainted, and
to chat.

have met this year. Coach Anne
Woodward added that the Catawba
team has greatly improved over the
past two years.
A return match is scheduled
Monday, November 25, between
Salem and Catawba.
Salem’s last game was played
against Wake Forest on their home
field yesterday at 4:30 p.m. For
the past three years Salem and
Wake Forest have hosted each
other on their home fields, with
Wake Forest girls holding the edge
in number of victories.
November 19, the Legislative
Board voted to support the Ameri
can University’s “TURTLE IN
TERNATIONAL,” a fund-raising
project for muscular dystrophy.
There will be an entrance fee of
$5 and a “turtle rental” fee of $1.
It is hoped that Salem will be able
to raise this fee by student do
nations. A box for such donations
will be set up, and this box will
also be for suggested names for
Salem’s turtle. Donations and sug
gestions must be made by Tuesday,
November 26.
The race in Washington will be
held December 6; prizes for win
ning names and fastest turtles will
be awarded, and the entire race will
be covered by national press, in
cluding Life magazine.
Legislative Board will have no
meeting on November 26 because of
the approaching Thanksgiving holi
days.

SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE
AND JAZZ LIKE THAT
I am now an elderly gentleman, full of years and aches, hut
my thoughts keep ever turning to my undergraduate days. This
is called “arrested development.”
But I cannot stop the healing tide of nostalgia that washes
over me as I recall those golden campus days, those ivy-covered
buildings (actually, at my college, there wa.s only ivy: no bricks),
those pulse-tingling lectures on .John Dryden and Cotton
Mather, the many friends I made, the many deans I bit.
I know some of you are already dreading the day when you
graduate and lose touch with all your merry chissmates. It is
my pleasant task today to assure you that it need not be so;
all you have to do is join the Alumni Association and every year
you will receive a bright, newsy, chatty bulletin, chock-full of
tidings about your old buddies.
Oh, what a red-letter day it is at my house, the day the
Alumni Bulletin arrives! I cancel all ray engagements, take the
phone off the hook, dismiss my resident osteopath, put the
cheetah outside, and settle down for an evening of jiurc pleasure
with the Bulletin and (need I add?) a good supply of Marlboro
Cigarettes.
Whenever I am having fun, a Marlboro makes the fun even
more fun. That filter, that flavor, that yielding soft pack, that
firm Flip Top box, never fails to heighten mj^ [)loasure whether
I am playing Double Canfield or watching the radio or knitting
an afghan or enjoying any other diverting pursuit you might
name—except, of course, spear fishing. But then, how much
spear fishing does one do in Clovis, New Mexico, where I live?
But I digress. Let us return to my Alumni Bulletin and the
fascinating news about my old friends and classmates. I quote
from the current issue:
“Well, fellow alums, it certainly has been a wing-dinger of a
year for us old grads! Remember Mildred Cheddar and Harr3'
Camembert, those crazy kids who always held hands in Econ II?
Well, they’re married now and living in Clovis, New Mexico,
where Harry rents spear-fishing equipment, and Mildred has just
given birth to a lovely 28-pound daughter, her second in four
months. Nice going, Mildred and Harry!
“Remember Jethro Brie, the man we voted most likely to
succeed? Well, old Jethro is still gathering laurels! Last week
he was voted ‘Motorman of the Year’ by his fellow workers in
the Duluth streetcar system. T owe it all to my brakeman,’
said Jethro in a characteristically modest acceptance speech.
Same old Jethro!
“Probably the most glamorous time had by any of us old
alums was had by Francis Macomber la.st year. He went on a
big game hunting safari all the way to Africa! We received many
interesting post cards from Francis until he was, alas, acci
dentally shot and killed by his wife and white hunter. Tough
luck, Francis!
“Wilametta ‘Deadeye’ Macomber, widow of the late beloved
Francis Macomber, was married yesterday to Fred ‘Sureshot’
Sigafoos, white hunter, in a simple double-ring ceremony in
Nairobi. Many happy returns, Wilametta and Fred!
“Well, alums, that just about wraps it up for this year.
