By Jo Smitherman The May Day dance was un usually danceable. The well-spaced bop numbers consistently brought two or three fast-kicking couples into the center of the floor. Typi cal of a small school dance. And, typically for any school, the freshmen emerged in huge, billow ing full-length dresses. Perfectly fitted to a formal dance atmos phere but too impractical and un comfortable for adult upperclass- Sara Pate feared her “Buy a Brick” posters were too plain to attract attention. Perhaps this drive is not a joking matter. The fact that we caught on to Dr. Gramley’s chapel psychology of we’ll-n eve r-get-100%-participa- tion made college students more devoted to the “cause” than ever. Most of us would submit ourselves in hypnotism to someone as con cerned for our “welfare” as our wily president. * * * Sophomore Anne Miles, clowning on the diving board for stragglers after the swim meet Tuesday, losj; her balance and scraped the in sides of both legs down the cover of the board. And in keeping with the warmth and congenial atmosphere of the A. A. Banquet Wednesday night, Lou Fike walked across the room to present the wounded clown with her softball medal. Lou was obviously moved later (and she should have been) when Betty Morrison, in a simple and sincere presentation, offered the Wilson senior a white monogram- med blanket for having accumu lated the most points via intra mural participation. Betty was still panting from her tennis match "with Betty Webster, the only tournament entry able to win a single game from the pro. Morrison is tennis champ for the third straight time, having beat Webster 6-0, 6-3. Nobody on cam pus can come near the champ. ♦ * * Salem’s Miss Winston-Salem candidates, Toni Gill and Nancy Cameron, made a TV appearance this afternoon—one of many pre selection events they have graced lately. Toni twirls the baton; Nancy sings; they both look good. * * » The rising juniors are counting on efficiency minus persecution plus mother-like concern multiplied by a hundred from the new Big Sister chairman, Joan Reich. Joan headed Rat Week last fall. * * * An a.m. psychology class perked up when Dr. Welch, in the adjoin ing office, shouted (via telephone) hello to comedian Andy Griffith. It seems Andy and “Liz” are old friends. He painted her kitchen once. * ♦ * Unable to restrain her pre-week- end enthusiasm, Thrace Baker last Frida}' reached up to tap a door facing in Sisters. Her reach ex ceeded the facing which jumped out and bopped her forehead. A visit to Baptist hospital re sulted. And the dark circles vve noticed this week are also results of the accident. She swears to it.

By Emma McCotter United States: President Eisen hower has stated that if the Chi nese Reds want to talk about a cease-fire in the Formosa Strait, the U. S. will talk. The President would not demand that the Chinese Nationalists participate in all such discussions. The U. S. deterrnina- tion to do this was carefully ex plained to Chiang Kai-shek on For mosa last week by Assistant Secre tary of State Walter Robertson and J. C, S, Chief Arthur Red- ford, who at the same time as sured Chiang that the U. S. in tends to augment the U. S. Air Force strength now based upon Formosa. However, Chiang is con fident that the Communists do not want peace and that eventually the U. S. will discover that honorable accommodation is impossible. He does not approve of the present U. S. line; but since he cannot change it, he is not disposed to argue with it. Western Europe: It was here last week that the West completed a long contemplated step forward, and the Communists stepped back. The Paris accords were ratified by the Netherlands Parliament; thus. West Germany is now to be re armed within a Western European Union. This week at a full-dress NATO meeting in Paris, the Ger mans will be accepted as partners in the Atlantic Alliance. Also the Russian troops were moving out of Austria and Austria gained her freedom by agreeing to remain neutral. Italy: The former Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Giovanni Gronchi, has been elected President of the Republic of Italy. He is a member of the Christian Demo cratic party which is made up of many factions. The new President is an outstanding symbol of the leftist neutralist faction. Whatever Gronchi might or might not do as President until 1962, his election in an atmosphere of doubt, ambiguity, and faction, proved that there is nothing resembling strong leader ship in Italian politics generally, or in the Christian Democratic Party in particular. India: Ever since November of 1949 “untouchability” has been for bidden in any form. However, this has not been practiced by the peo ple. In order to make it forceful Nehru introduced last week in the lower house of the People India’s first bill to make discrimination against untouchables an offense- punishable with a six-month jail term and a fine of $105. Hence forth, untouchables will have the law on their side in demanding undisturbed access to shops and restaurants, public wells, tanks and' bathing ghats. Great Britain: The new Prime Minister, Sir Anthony Eden, has moved into 10 Downing Street where he legally has only a three weeks lease. However, he hopes to stay there for a five year period. This will all be determined by the coming election of May 26. South Africa: Last week the Na tionalist Prime Minister, Johannes Gerhardus Strydom, tore down the last big constitutional barrier to one-party racial control over his divided land. He had already packed South Africa’s High Court bench by adding five new judges favorable to the government; now he pressed through Parliament a bill endorsing his court-packing de cree, and ensuring that a quorum of the new court Would be able to ; override the South African consti- ] tution. Strydom’s bill increased : the High Court membership from jsix to eleven. Once the new court assembles around October 1, the I Prime Minister expects to endorse ; his segregation policies. Another ! possibility is that he will ask judi cial sanction to strike out the pre sent guarantee of equality to the English and African languages in the schools and in the government. Strydom intends eventually to make his country a Boer republic, seceding from the British Com monwealth. However, he has pro mised not to secede in the next three years. Paris: The Big Three foreign ministers awaited word Tuesday from President Eisenhower on a proposal for a meeting with the Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin in Switzerland next July. Although Dulles forwarded the British- French proposal for a top-level Big Four meeting, American sources said the Secretary of State still feels that the four foreign minis ters should meet first to work out details of a German settlernent and other European questions. How ever, if Eisenhower agrees to the proposed Big Four meeting word will be sent immediately to the other big nations. At such a meet ing it is believed that any Far East question will be avoided because it would undoubtedly touch off Rus sian demands that Red China be asked to sit in. By Ellen Summerell The Far East and the North Pole are just about the only places on the globe that won’t be visited by Salemit,es this summer. Summer Avill find the girls scattered far and wide- a.s one sophomore told me, “anyplace but home.” Bight Salemites will sail for Europe with Miss Byrd. Marian Myers, Sara Katherine Huff, Nancy Proctor, Dot Tyndall, Polly Lar kins, Mary B. McClure, Rosanne Worthington and Louise Pike will make the trip. Of course Jo Smitherman, Martha Thorn burg, and Louise Barron will cross the At lantic, too; they’re Oslo bound. After the summer session at the University of Oslo, they’ll see some more of Europe. Headed for Wyoming are Rose Tiller, Kay Williams, and Pat Plynt. Work as bus girls (that means carrying trays) awaits them in Yellowstone National Park. Terry Harmon is going Tvest too; she has a job in Estes Park in Colorado. Meredith Stringfield and Harriet Harris en joyed Canada so much last summer that they’re going back again this year. Harriet has sold her sister Marion on the idea, and the three girls (plus Jo Costner) will work at Big win Inn in Ontario. Camp counseling will occupy several Salem ites this summer. Agnes Sams, Dhu Jeanette, Mary Avera, and Sarah Eason will be at Camp Seagull. Toni Gill and Sarah Johnson hope to go te the aquatic school at Camp Carolina, but in ease they don’t make it, they have other plans, ..Toni w'ill teach baton twirling at Eastern Carolina College and Sarah will work in a hospital in Wilmington when she’s not at Carolina in summer school. In fact. Chapel Hill will probably claim more Salem girls this summer than any other place. Marilyn Stacy, _Sarah Smothers, Pat Greene. Joan Reich, Bren Bunch, Ginger Dy- sard, Martha Dunlap, Julia Parker and Jane Langston are among the ones who’ll be there in summer school. Jane said they’re going to “see how the other half lives and get a very liberal education!” Lillian Holland said that summer school is on her agenda too. She’ll commute from Greensboro to Guilford for tw'o months and three days—all for three hours of trig! Nancy Iiilchrist plans to combine summer school at Queens with learning to cook. Judy^ Graham will go to summer school at the University of Tampa. She plans to Iks m Tampa w'ith her grandmother. Mhile Judy is sunbathing in Florida, Jody Meilicke will be enjoying the cool breezes ol New Hampshire. After her vacation there, Jody will go back home to Bethlehem Tvhere she has a hospital job as a laboratory techni cian. Emily Baker and Maggi Blakeney will g® back to Cherokee, where they will work witk the outdoor drama “Unto These Hills.” Patsy McAuley will be doing theater work too; she’ll be in Bristol, Va., with the Barter ■ Theater. Sally Reiland said she’d probably still trying to get her comp papers in! Gertie . I r» n V» O/-VV'* ^ r, *n T /-z spent going Johnson’s summer will be everybody’s wedding.” And there certainly will be plenty of wed dings to go to! Among the Salemites wB , plan summer weddings are Bobbi Kuss, Mar) Ann Raines, Marguerite Blanton, ’ Barbara White, Emily Hall, Bonnie Hall, Diane HuU ley, and Betsy Giles. After this survey, it’s plain to see that Salem will be well represented almost. an)' where this summer. And after consulttoS ^^ay Cunningham I’m not so sure that Asia or the North Pole won’t be visited. Kay told me that she might go to California . . . or to South America . . . or . . . Sounds like an exciting summer is ahead for all of us!
