oynecologist Lectures On
Sex Revolution Problems
Dr. W. J. May. a prominant ob-
tetrician-gynecologist associated
vith Bowman Gray School of Medl
ine, spoke in assembly May 10 on
A Look at the Sex Revolution.”
^ May subtitled his talk “A Per-
nanent Man-Woman Relationship.”
He began his lecture by stating
hat although women are beginning
odake over many jobs previously
leld by men, he was nevertheless
nvious of the girls in the audience
,nd their youth.
■ Dr. May continued saying that
he modern sex revolution could
lossibly be more accurately termed
ex rebellion. Many people today
.re striving to change the social
tandards of our modern society,
njthe 1920’s and 1930’s women were
:nown to faint with embarrassment
tjan open discussion on sex. Now
tiedical science strives to share its
:nowledge of sex and reproduction
nth everyone.
One of the problems which has
ome about through this open dis-
ussion of sex is the fact that many
romen feel as free to practice sex
.s do the men. One astonishing
tatistic Dr. May shared with the
.udience was that in 1965, 25% of
.11 Negro babies and 3% of all
ifhite babies born in North Carolina
^ere born out of wedlock. He added
hat one out of every five or six
Irtdes in the United States is preg-
lant when married.
jDr. May discussed the fact that
■oung people are growing up at an
arly age. The price man must pay
or his civilization is becoming over-
lowering as marriages happen at a
founger age and adult opportunities
require more and more education.
He added that the matter of sex
conduct is still primarily the re
sponsibility of the girl. In one poll
taken in a senior high school church
youth group, 90 per cent of the boys
stated that they would always go
as far with a girl as she would let
them.
Dr. May made it quite clear that
he was not concerned with chastity,
but rather with the personal re
lationship in a marriage. Young
people often ■ ask how much sex is
permissable before marriage and
whose business is it anyway? Dr.
May answered by stating that he
and other adults cannot say yes to
young people without fear of caus
ing a bad marriage relationship in
the future. Along with love and
marriage come the responsibilities
of parenthood.
Dr. May concluded his talk by
saying that his wish for all young
people is that all of them can make
some contribution to the present
generation to lead them out of what
seems to be a general chaos.

Salem To Host 0overnor’s School
For 400 North Carolina Students
Every summer since 1963, Salem
College has been the site of The
Governor’s School of North Caro
lina. The Governor’s School is a
summer school program for four
hundred selected juniors and sen
iors from secondary schools in
North Carolina. It is organized and
run by the State Board of Higher
Education.
The four hundred high school
students are chosen from approxi
mately three thousand applicants
on the basis of their recommend
ations and outstanding academic
achievement or artistic ability.
These students, who attend school
free of charge, live on Salem’s cam
pus for eight weeks of the summer
in which each studies in depth his
own particular field of interest.
The fields of study are the follow
ing : humanities, natural science, so
cial science, mathematics, art, dance,
drama and music. The point which
makes The Governor’s School dif
ferent from any other summer
school is that there is emphasis on
a given subject on one particular
phase of that subject. For example,
in mathematics, the program at The
Governor’s School moves from
showing how to solve contrived
problems to more properly asking
why the various methods are sound.
This method gives the very gifted
student a chance to show to him
self exactly what and how much
he can achieve.

A.rt Majors Present Senior Exhibit;
ive Salemites Display Varied Styles
Elaine Tucker and Cindy Moore put the finishing touches on their
l^rtion of the Senior Art Exhibit which opened May 5. The exhibit
will run through June 4.

pThe spotlights in the corridors of

uating art majors. The five seniors
art, Jeannie Yager, Eleanor

fucker, Cindy Moore, and Prudy

%ht. May 9 at the reception which
’^cially opened their exhibit.
■iThis year all chose to present an
exhibit rather than taking the al-
^native—^writing a thesis. They
Wniitted that although the project
took hard work and long hours to
assemble, it was an exciting experi
ence putting up an exhibit.
Jeannie Yager comes by her
talent naturally. Her family has
taken up painting as a hobby, al
though Jeannie wants to work seri
ously in the field of advertising. She
indicates that she enjoys graphics
and is interested in doing more
work with silkscreens. Jeannie’s
favorite work in the exhibit is
“Moonlight Over Farmville” which
is on loan from a friend.

ed in a three area concept. The
first area is that of aptitude de
velopment in the field for which
the student has chosen. The se-
ond area is that of philosophy of
conceptual development which will
be under Dr. Michael Lewis, head
of Salem’s language department.
Students are urged to study the
essential ideas of Western tradition
and to reintegrate these ideas into
conceptual systems which may be
relevant to the solution of contem
porary problems. The third area,
under the direction of Mr. James
Bray, also a member of .Salem’s
faculty, is that of psychology or
personal development. The aim of
this area is to aid the individual
student in developing his powers of
self-reflection and self-expression.
Not only is The Governor’s School
beneficial to the students, but it
also provides a means of studying
the gifted student, and his response
to differential education. The body
of information collected during the
summer sessions forms the basis
for knowledgeable follow-ups , on
students, for continuing experimen
tation at the school, and for appre
ciation of methods to improve edu
cation for other students through
out the state.
Financed in 1963, 1964, and 1965
by grants from Carnegie Corpora
tion of New York and from founda
tions and industries of Winston-
Salem, the program is now being
continued with public funds. The
faculty is taken from schools all
over the state. Those on the staff
besides Dr. Lewis and Mr. Bray are
Mr. Donald McLeod, Dean Sand-
resky, Mrs. Anna Cooper in the lib
rary, Mrs. Esther Mock in the news
bureau, and Peggy Booker who will
graduate from Salem in June.
art endeavors here at Salem, has
developed an inclination toward
sculpture, portraits, and works with
imaginative media. Keeping pace
with modern art trends, Eleanor
has created her “Old Friends” and
“Dr. Eckleberg 1967” which belong
to the pop-art classification. (It
was calculated that a month’s work
went into the making of “Old
Friends.”)
Elaine Tucker, who came to Salem
after two years at Queens College,
reflects in some of her works an
influence of her study of the ex-
pressionistic style of Cezanne.
When asked her reaction to the
fantastic art trends, Elaine said, “I
don’t believe that art just happens.
I think it should have a foundation
to grow from.” This seems to sum
up Elaine’s philosophy of art which
is responsible for her decision to
pursue a teaching career.
Cindy Moore, whose studies were
waylaid by her marriage, intends to
do more studying in the summer at
the University of Maine. Although
she plans to take drawing as a
course of study, Cindy already en
joys working with polymers and
oils as her exhibition indicates.
Prudy Weaver is finishing at
Salem after two years of study
here. She prefers to work with
constructive types of media but also
maintains an interest in graphics
and ceramics. She hopes to use her
background in later work, perhaps
in connection with interior design,
teaching, or related fields.
The seniors’ exhibit will continue
through June 4. Most of the works
on display are for sale. Everyone
is invited to see that talent that
once lay hidden in the basement
studios of the Fine Arts Center.

and support the Melas Three.
chal was led onto the stage by his
sister. After He bowed to the audi
ence he seated himself at the Holt-
kamp organ and adjusted the seat
and familiarized himself with the
keys.
First, he played variations on
Mein Junges Leben hat ein End
by Sweelinck, showing great con
trol. He adjusted the stops for
each piece himself. In his next
piece, Offertoire sur les Grands
Jeux by Couperlin-le-Grand, the
clear brilliance of tone revealed the
beauty of the organ. His program
continued with two Chorale-Pre
ludes, Nun-komm’ der Heiden Hei-
land and In dulce judilo by Buxte
hude. In Bach’s Fifth Trio Sonata
in Allegro, Largo, and Allegro he
revealed his mastery of different
passages by making them flow
evenly. ■ Also a difficult piece was
the Third Chorale in A minor by
Franck. ,
In Messiaen’s Les Bergers M.
Marchal captured in music the feel
ing of the shepherds at the birth
of Christ. His next selection was
Postlude pour I’Office des Complies
by Alain. A spectacular piece by
Vierne, Finale from the Fourth
Symphony, which combined various
techniques, was smoothly performed
by M. Marchal in spite of the great
stamina it required of the organist.
The final piece listed as Improvisa
tion was a fantastic work on the
Doxology which included beautiful
harmony.
