Raper Reports On Changed An n ual By Cara Lynne Johnson _ With spring approaching, Salem- ites are looking forward to many things—some to graduation or some to a big trip during spring vaca tion; but all Salemites are anxious to see the latest edition of Sights and Insights produced by the year book staff. Frosh Declare Record Crowd On Parents' Day One hundred seventy-four par ents, the largest Freshmen Parents’ Day crowd in Salem’s history, were on hand last Saturday to witness “The Frosh Side Story” and to get a glimpse into the lives their daugh ters have been living for six months. Over-all chairman. Barbie Hooten, her committee chairmen, and committee members culminated weeks of work, straightened any untidy rooms, and awaited the ar rival of parents beginning at 11 a.m. After registration and lunch, the freshmen guided their parents through a brief schedule of their classes, after which the parents were invited to visit their daughters rooms in Clewell and Babcock. Open house was held in the Cle well date room and in Babcock Terrace Room. At 6 p.m. freshmen and parents gathered in Corrin Refectory for the banquet and heard Dean Ivy Hixson speak on “Studies,” Dean Amy Heidbreder on “Steadies,” and President Dale H. Gramley on “‘N’ Stuff.” Afterwards in old chapel the en tire freshman class presented “The Freshman Side Of The Story” and entertained with such numbers as “Officer Wookie” and “There Is Nothing Like Exams.” The apparent success of Parents’ Day 1964 was verified by Barbie Hooten’s comment, “We want to have at least 500 more this year!” ANNOUNCEMENT A proposal submitted by the Committee on Curriculum to the faculty was approved recently. The recommendation provides for the addition of Latin 206 to the present curriculum of the Department of Classical Languages. Latin 206, Stoic and Epicurean Literature on the Late Republic and the Early Empire, will consist of readings from Lucretius, Cicero, and the younger Seneca.

CLOSED SUNDAYS The editor, Donna Raper, in speaking for the staff, promises a distinctively different annual. Al though she was hesitant to give away many definite changes, she has given some hints concerning our yearbook. The yearbook is to be a departure from tradition and the staff anticipates it will be pleasantly surprising, rather than shocking The staff which began working last spring has been slaving to pro duce an annual appealing to every one and one which interestingly depicts our life at Salem. The first change Donna implied was a dif ferent cover. In the past we have been in a rut having the cover either blue or green. Choose any of the remaining colors and a de sign by one of our own talented Salemites; now make a conjecture and you can perhaps visualize the cover of our annual. Effective Theme The theme is carried out in its entirety and develops throughout the annual. It takes until the last of the book to get the idea so per haps the most effective way to look at your yearbook is from the front cover to the finish. More candid shots will be con tained and a special addition will **just about the most wonderful new convenience for intimate feminine care** % idette^ the“petite bath”in a packette ...so refreshing, so easy and econonnical to use and so reassuring to know you can feel "all-over dainty" all day, wherever you arel Bidette is that wonderfully soft, lint-free cloth (not harsh paper)... pre moistened with a mildly medicated lotion that quickly cleanses and helps remove the common causes of odor, itching and discomfort from the most sensitive fem inine areas... safely, soothingly and oh. so refreshingly!

Dedication Donna wants to clarify an illusion everyone has concerning the dedi cation, The general opinion seems to be that the seniors present the book and select the person to whom it is dedicated. The staff actually does this, but their decision for the dedication is guided by the seniors’ choice. The staff has only ten pages of copy to complete. By March 11 all the copy will be in, and by March IS all the pictures will be in the engraver’s hands. This means we have only a short time before the ’64 Sights and Insights will be in our hands! With no forseeable de lays that will be sometime after May 1, (Sorry, but the editor re fused to reveal the delivery date). with MaxSbuIman (Author of “Rally Round the Flag, Boys!’’ and “Barefoot Boy With Cheek.”) A ROBE BY ANY OTHER NAME With the Commencement Day just a couple of short months away, the question on everyone’s lips is: “How did the differ ent disciplines come to be marked by academic robes with hoods of different colors?” Everybody is asking it; I mean everybody! I mean I haven’t been able to walk ten feet on any campus without somebody grabs mj^ elbow and says, “How did the different disciplines come to be marked by academic robes with hoods of different colors, hey?” This, I must say, is not the usual question asked by colle gians who grab my elbow. Ordinarily they say, “Hey, Shorty, got a Marlboro?” And this is fitting. After all, are they not collegians and therefore loaded with brains? And does not intelligence demand the tastiest in tobacco flavor? And does not Marlboro doli^•('r a flavor that is uniquely delicious? And am I not short? But I digress. Back to the colored hoods of academic robes. A doctor of philosophy wears blue, a doctor of medicine wears -Zone—State- green, a master of arts wears white, a doctor of humanities wears crimson, a master of library science wears lemon yellow. Why? Why, for example, should a master of library science wear lemon yellow? Well sir, to answer this vexing question, we must go back to March 14, 1844. On that dtite the first public library in the United States was established by Ulricli Sigafoos. All of Mr. Sigafoos’s neighbors were of course wildly grateful—all, that is, except Wrex Todhunter. Mr. Todhunter had hated Mr. Sigafoos since 1822 when both men had w'ooed the beautiful Melanie Zitt and Melanie had chosen Mr. Sigafoos because she was mad for dancing and Mr. Sigafoos knew all the latest steps—like the Missouri Com promise Samba, the Shays’ Rebellion Schottische, and the .James K. Polk Polka—while Mr. Todhunter, alas, could not dance at all, owing to a wound he had received at the Battle of New Orleans. (He was struck by a falling praline.) Consumed with jealousy at the success of Mr. Sigafoos’s library, Mr. Todhunter resolved to open a competing library. This he did, but he lured not one single patron away from Mr. Sigafoos. “What has Mr. Sigafoos got that I have not?” Mr. Todhunter kept asking himself, and finally the answer came to him: books. So Mr. Todhunter stocked his library with lots of lovely books, and soon he was doing more business than his hated rival. But Mr. Sigafoos struck back. To regain his clientele, he began serving tea at his library every afternoon. Thereupon Mr. Todhunter, not to be outdone, began serving tea with sugar. Thereupon Mr. Sigafoos began serving tea with sugar and cream. 'Thereupon Mr. Todhunter began serving tea with sugar and cream and lemon. This, of course, clinched the victory for Mr. Todhunter because he had the only lemon tree in town—in fact, in the entire state of Maine—and since that day lemon yellow has, of course, been the color on the robes of masters of library science. (Incidentally, the defeated Mr. Sigafoos packed up his li brary and moved to California where, alas, he failed once more. There were, to be sure, plenty of lemons to serve with his tea, but, alas, there was no cream because the cow was not intro duced to California until 1937 by John Wayne.) © 1964 Max Shulman Today Californians, happy among their milch kine, are enjoying filtered Marlboro Cigarettes in soft pack or Flip- Top Box, as are their fellow Americans in all fifty states of this Marlboro Country!
