ienior Girls Face Trials
sf Comprehensive Exams
By Sandra Pappas
|Why is May the senior’s favorite
onth? It’s the month of Senior
pmprehensives, of course! Boxes
id stacks of books, notebooks, and
Fonarch study guides filled the
udy-rooms of both Strong and
3Uth.
The first day of May came in
ce a lion as senior psychology
ajors were greeted with written
[imps.’ The ordeal continued
iroughout the week as oral com-
•ehensives were given. When the
sting was over, the psychology
ajors were ready for fun in the
in. Someone told Betsy Dunn
iat olive oil' would help her get
le most out of sunbathing. Betsy
imediately bought herself a jar of
ives and planned on quickly eat-
ig the olives and saving the juice
ir her tan. Luckily, someone
lught her in time. Comps do have
[way of getting to one*s head.
[English majors shared the experi-
ice of having comprehensives the
"st of May. W^hile the comps were
session, someone thought it ap-
•opriate to start spring cleaning
1 second floor Main Hall. Mr.
fete Jordan was hailed as the
iris’ hero as he dueled with the
tcuum cleaner and came out the
ttor. Dr. William White, head of
|e English Department, has pro-
ised to treat his majors to dinner
his home the day the girls re
ive their grades. Reversed psy-
lology was used by Dr. Lucy Aus-
tt. She took her four latin majors
it to a steak dinner before their
imps began.
[May Day was a relaxing time for
n g 1 i s h and psychology majors
hile the remainder of the senior
ass was joining in choruses of
escue Me. On May 9 and 10, his-
ry comps were given. The com-
■ehensives continued to be a dif-
^ult challenge. Even being the
jdmother of Dr. Errol Clauss’
lughter didn’t help Tripp Tate.
NSA Class Of 1971 To Supply
Cornerstone Diversity Of Backgrounds
The foreign language comprehen
sives were given on May 9. The
majority of them were take-out,
open-book ■ tests with an oral sec
tion. By the time the ecomonics-
sociology majors were taking their
comps on Wednesday, the book
store was selling out of coffee.
Your guess is as good as mine as
to who was more panic-stricken—
the seniors or Mr. Snavely.
Art, biology and chemistry majors
didn’t have comprehensives. But
the six art majors didn’t completely
miss out, they were able to choose
between showing an exhibit or writ
ing a thesis—lucky girls! Just ask
Betty Wingo. She’s the only senior
writing a thesis.
Although met with apprehension,
comprehensives have been a fair
evaluation of four years of study
and concentration. .As Roberta
Frost expressed it, “comps were a
chance for each girl to pull to
gether four years of accumulated
knowledge.”
Summer To See

study are Miss Anne Woodward,
Boston University; Miss Nancy
Wurtele, University of Southern
California; Edwin Shewmake, UNC-
G; Paul Peterson, University of

The structure of the National Stu
dent Association could be radically
altered in the course of the next
three months, according to US-
NSA’s President, Eugene Groves, in
his speech to the delegates at the
Carolinas-Virginia Regional held at
Mary Washington College, May 5
and 6.
As it stands now, NSA is a
million business. It is primarily an
association of student governments
that is dependent on grants from
private foundations and whatever
money they can raise on the in
dividual campuses. Yet, during the
National Congress, to be held dur
ing the last half of August at the
University of Maryland, the very
basic purpose and set-up of USNAS
will probably be altered in one or
two ways. Either it will be basen on
students, rather than student gov
ernments, or used as a co-ordinat
ing agency for campus groups. The
strongest effort possible will be
made to finance NSA by the stu
dents, for (as it now stands) NSA
must be answering the demands of
the group which supports them the
most, the private foundations. By
correcting this financial situation,
NSA will be able to cater even
more to the group who founded it
and for whom it is designed—the
students.
Many of the purposes of NSA
were also pointed out. President
Johnson consulted Gene Groves be
fore beginning w'ork on the draft
laws to gain student opinion on a
nationwide basis. NSA can func
tion as an economic faction that
can bring about pressure that will
result in lower prices for students.
An example of this is ETI, Educa
tional Travel, Inc.; another one be
ing developed is ACT, an effort to
secure better, entertainment more
cheaply for campuses. Book ex
changes between campuses and a
campaign to get publishers to lower
their prices on textbooks is now
being formulated. Opportunities for
community services (such as tutor
ial programs for the underprivil-
edged) can be set up with NSA’s
experience and aid.
Regional officers for 1967-68 were
also elected at the meeting in Fred-
ricksburg. Jed Dietz from Carolina
will serve as Chairman; Candy
Burke from Mary Washington as
International Affairs Vice Chair
man; Matthew Goldbrick from
Johnson C. Smith as National Af
fairs Vice Chairman; Lyn Davis
Salem as secretary; and Buck Gold
stein from Carolina as treasurer.
The Class of 1971 promises vari
ety, talent, and experience as they
enter Salem next fall.
Forty-five per cent, including day
students, of next year’s Freshman
Class are from North Carolina,
Virginia, New Jersey, West Vir
ginia, South Carolina, Maryland,
Tennessee, Alabama, New York,
Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, Ohio,
Texas, and Pennsylvania. Also rep
resented will be Greece.
Eighty-three different high
schools and 24 private schools will
see the graduation of next year’s
freshmen this spring. Of the 11
religious denominations represented,
the largest of these is Presbyterian.
There are 51 freshmen who have
relatives who have attended Salem,
and eight girls have sisters now at
Salem. These freshmen are Anne
Cargill, Nancy Hunter, Gordy Mc-
Iver, Betsy MacBryde, Jean Peter
son, Jaque Touchton, Weezie Vin
cent and Susan Yager.

range from a Carolina’s AAU All
