Throughout the events of the day it was apparent that each class had invested much time, effort, and imagination in prepara tion. Each girl knows how much time she and many others spent in planning and practicing for the activities. Each girl knows how much she neglected her studies. With the tremendous amount of work that was put into Founder's Day went high hopes for all. From the competition that this day brings there resulted disappoint ments for many. It seems that the hard work and the disappointments are de stroying one of the purposes of Founder's Day. It seems that in stead of unity between classes, there is competition; and instead of unity with the past, there is disunity within the present. Perhaps we all need to re-examine the meaning of Founder's Day. But to deal with this on a more practical level, the FITS Committee should undertake a re-evaluation of the purposes of Founder's Day and should examine the activities and resulting at titudes that are supposed to fulfill these purposes. Now that the rush of Founders Day has faded, and Salemites are returning to study room in earnest, we can settle down and find out what’s been going on around here with males and such. But before we get to men, Amy is your name Murray or Orser now? And did you find the room to take that opinion test just in time to find that married day stu dents were exempt? And all that running for nothing, too. Did anyone see those two black- draped figures on front campus Fri day night. I hear that they were special friends of Paul s. Did you hear of any repenters. Sister Pooh and Sister Debbie? Who are those elite Salemites with a telephone in the car ... a baby blue phone in fact? I guess those girls at the Pizza Villa sure were impressed with the telephone conversation you carried on, Ro berta. Who tried to get members of the art class to eat those delicious look ing pink plaster mints? Bet the Home Ec Club could use them for something. A 72 point word is Scrabble ? Really, Cecelia, such an impressive vocabulary. And what’s this sudden run on Maine sardines from the Bookstore, Polly Smith? Have you adopted another creature for this year. Bo- Peep certainly wouldn’t approve of this one! Getting on to the male aspect of campus life, Anne Lacey, a fresh- SK Salemite Questions Time, Value Of Founder’s Day ANNOUNCEMENT October 2, 1968 Dear Editor and fellow-Salemites, The following was printed in The Salemite of September 27, in “Around the Square”: “It seems that approaching Founder’s Day has taken Salem by storm, requir ing every spare minute for song and skit practices. Classes go on nevertheless, and Salemites get further behind in homework. But the fun and spirit which Founders’ Day encourages make all the prep arations worthwhile,” After seeing song and skit and sports practices claim so many hours and so much energy this past week, I’m wondering how “spare” •the minutes and “worthwhile” the preparations actually were. It seems a bit out of character for mature college women to let “fun and spirit” take such precedence over our other responsibilities. Let’s face it; we let our work slide for one, maybe two weeks, in the name of “fun and spirit,’’wear our selves to crabby frazzles, and get so behind that for the rest of the semester some classes are purely and simply endurance tests. It happens every year. I submit that a re-evaluation of priorities is in order. Just how important is class spirit? school spirit? Jut how critical Is the mad cap competition during the week preceding Founders’ Day? Look ing realistically, sans any aura of Salemite zeal, at the ends we hope to achieve through the Founder’s Day games and skits, can we honestly say “fun and spirit” are that end and not feel as if we have striven toward a made-up goal ? I suggest that our durable loyal ties he not with a certain class but with certain intimate and ad mired individuals. Also, that our feeling for a school stems not from any song or cheer or oration de livered from the gym floor or hockey field, but rather from our appreciation for the part that institution has played in helping us to grow. Must we take Found ers’ Day so seriously? Why don’t we find a way to have our “fun and spirit” in its true sense and in a quantity proportionate to what it’s worth. Sincerely, Carol Watson The Volunteer Bureau needs ten girls to help administer tests to high school students at East For syth School on Saturday, October 19, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. If you are willing to help, will you please get in touch with Nancy Holderness in 301 Strong as soon as possible.

All the money will go to the World University Service through which Salem College sponsors two McGuire—cake Curlee—one pair of lamps college students in foreign couu tries. In previous years Salem has always been a large contributor to WUS. The Y-Cabinet invites everyone to participate, and maybe you will be the one to have that champagne breakfast with Dr. White, a trip with police in a patrol car on Fri day or Saturday night sponsored by Mr. Wendt, or tea and crumpets with Mr. Kruse and Mr. Gibson.

Curtis LeMay seems to be an unlikely running mate for George Wallace, in that the former general has given the other candidates the material which they have needed to openly attack Wallace on matters other than race. Nixon would have a perfect campaign, were it not for Agnew's insistence on speaking off-the-cuff. Humphrey has chosen a man who is a definite asset to the Demo cratic ticket, but one who won't be upset if he is not in the Vice Presidential office next year. Muskie, in some respects, is symbolic of what Humphrey was in his pre-Vice President days. The Senator from Maine has the flavor of a liberal about him. He is behind the youth of America, particularly the youth who had worked to change the political system of America. He does not wish to react in a conservative way to the campus disorders; he wants to give the disenchanted a chance to speak where their voices will be heard. "They've met what they considered defeat, and they're on the threshold of dis illusionment. The worst thing we can do is throw cold water on their expectations." With such a man to speak in the smaller places, Humphrey should be well off. But he is not. His advisors have been urging him to repudiate the Johnson administration's stand on Viet Nam, a thing he will not do. While insisting that he is his "own man," he will not state his own opinions or plans for the future. As a result of this obstinacy and the chaos of Chicago, Humphrey is feeling an economic strain. He must constantly make appeals to counteract Nixon's seemingly unlimited financial resources. This lack of money can hurt Humphrey very badly as November 5 approaches. On the election day, Nixon and even Wallace plan to saturate the mass media with their advertisements. A last- minute pitch like this might be enough to push Humphrey out of his third place standing into a runoff in the House of Representa tives. But such a political miracle cannot happen until his actions begin to match his words.
