£slie'Melvilks Speak On
'heir Life In East Africa
Betty Bruce and Jock Leslie-Mel-
ille spoke on the topic “Africa,
lur Home!’’ in assembly Friday,
October 27. Along with their talk,
the Leslie-Melville’s showed a
motion picture of their life in East
Africa.
' They began the program by say
ing that Africa is not a land of
endless jungles, but modern life. To
.illustrate this fact they showed pic-
lures of a fox hunt and their house,
along with shots of downtown Nair
obi, Kenya. The Leslie-Melville’s
home in Forest Estate in East Af
rica is surrounded by wild-growing
'OSes, poinsettias and gardenias,
hey also have a private pool and
ervants -- Mrs. Leslie-Melville re-
arked that labor is very cheap.
Besides their luxurious home, Mr.
and Mrs. Leslie-Melville own a
|mall house in a section that has
■|)nly known civilization for ten
years. The nearest village is fifty
|niles away. Since they have no re
frigeration in the house, they catch
hail stones during storms to use
for ice. Mrs. Leslie-Melville loves
the country and the return to sim
plicity, boasting that her children
jwatch sunsets instead of tele
r iion.”
Their pictures of animals living
in game parks throughout East Af
rica were photographed by the Les-
lie-Melvilles while traveling through
the game parks by car. They said
that as long as they stay in the car,
they are not in any danger. Hunters
can shoot only in certain areas of
the parks and licenses are quite
expensive. They showed pictures of
lamingos, rhinoceroses, antelopes,
wild dogs, vultures, giraffe, hippopo
tami, cheetas, buffaloes, zebras,
lions, and elephants, stating that
the most dangerous of these were
the elephants and buffaloes.
Following the assembly program
a coffee was held in the Day Stu
dent Center. Students also met and
talked with them in the refectory
for lunch.

Increase
Library
Last June, Salem College re
ceived under Title II of the Higher
Education Act $6,300 in federal
funds. The purpose of this act is to
strengthen the book collections in
academic libraries by giving a basic
grant to all libraries which qualify.
Some libraries, which could demon
strate urgent or unusual need due
to large enrollment were given ad
ditional grants. (Salem did not
qualify for this.)
This money will be added to the
college library book budget for
1967-68. It should permit the ad
dition of about one thousand titles
next year.
Last year, the library book bud
get was the largest in its history,
and 2,621 new volumes were added
to the collection, which was five
hundred more than the year be
fore.
The Senior Class of 1967 made a
gift of money to the library which
will also be added to this year’s

The freshmen have put their
heads together and have drawn up
a slate of officers. Betsy Mc
Alister, the newly elected president,
will lead the class of 1971. Betsy
is from Fries, Virginia, and at
tended St. Mary’s Junior College,
where she was President of the
Freshman Class. Since coming to
Salem she has been a freshman
cheerleader on Founders’ Day. She
plans to major in psychology.
Other officers are Betsy Mac-
Bryde, vice-president; Ellen Wal
ker, secretary; and Katherine
Sharp, treasurer. Betsy attended
high school in Martinsville, Vir
ginia. There she was President of
the Senior Class and Editor of the
yearbook. At Salem she hopes to
major in mathematics. Ellen was
a Student Council member at A. C.
Flora High School in Columbia,
South Carolina. She was also Edi
tor of the senior section of the
annual and a member of the An
chor Club (a service organization).
While at Salem, Ellen has already
served on the freshman skit com
mittee for Founders’ Day and the
Sights and Insights staff.
Katherine, from Kinston, was
Feature Editor of the newspaper at
Grainger High School and Vice-
President of Student Council. She
was also a delegate to the N. C.
Eastern District Student Council
and President of her MYF. She
plans to major in mathematics at
Salem and has served on the fresh

e is thin and always weighted
down by cameras, film, light meters,
and extra lenses; he wears a big
smile and yells at Salem girls to
■toile,” “project vitality,” “look
viVacious;” he is always present at
*nch traditional events as Orienta-
Convocation, Tree Planting,
collies, and then sometimes he’s
where you least expect him, when
you least expect it.
Peter Julian, Sights and Insights
Photographer, is a native of Wins
ton-Salem, a bachelor, and admits
to being “about thirty”. He has
one younger brother.
Peter got his start when he w'as
a ZBT at Carolina. Everyone else
in the fraternity smoked and drank,
and he did neither. (All that has
changed since then.) He had no
thing to do with his hands so he
got a “book and a camera.” He
developed his first picture in a linen
closet at the Ahwahnee Hotel in
Yosemite.
He took pictures for the govern-
Newly elected Freshman Class officers (I to r) Betsy MacBryde,
Ellen Walker, Betsy McAlister, and Katherine Sharp, shoot a game

Club representatives from the
freshman class were also elected.
For the YWCA, the cabinet of
representatives are Edna Jacobs,
Randy Young, and Gordy Mclver.
Representatives to IRS are Ethel
Tobias, Janice Burns, and Pat
Kirby. The day student represen
tative to IRS has not yet been
elected. Tappy McMurray and
Martha Ann Fulton were chosen as
freshmen representatives to the
Legislative Board. Nancy Johnson
and Diane Dailey were elected to
WRA. The three freshmen chosen
as representatives to NSA were
Mary Leight, Shelly Habeck, and
Anne Beattie. Jane Cronly was ap
pointed “keeper” of the “Johnny
Jewels.”

ment in Europe from 1960-’62.
Uncle Sam provided him with
“room and board, and a rifle.”
Peter does industrial and school
photography, as well as photo
graphing children. He has done, or
does, yearbook photography for
many schools including: WC, Guil
ford, Meredith, Peace, St. Mary’s,
Brevard, Wake Forest, Duke, Fur
man, Greensboro College, and three
colleges in Georgia.
He has been photographing
Salem girls for four years and says
about the only change he has ob
served is that some of the girls
who were most attractive when he
came are not so attractive any
more ; and some who were not so
attractive have become more at
tractive.
Amazingly enough, he does have
some free time and enjoys hiking
and flying. He is working for his
pilots’ license and has made six
parachute jumps. His jumps were
somewhat unusual—he wouldn’t let
go of the side of the planes.
Peter enjoys his work, and he
does it well. If you don’t believe
it, take a look at last year’s Sights
and Insights.

(Although the following story is
fictional, the names and places have
not been changed to protect any
one.)
As the smoke cleared from the
hockey field, one was able to see
the stupendous Salem hockey team
come running onto the field amid
shouts of the spectators, which in
cluded the likes of Mr. Michie, Dr.
Clauss, Mr. Burrows, Mr. Nohlgren,
and Mr. She-wmake. As our re
sponsible fire chief Redfern moved
her fire trucks off the field, the
game began on the whistle blown
by Coach Johnson, our reliable
referee. Attired in their form fit
ting new and beautiful tunics, the
team was fired up and raring to
go against a strong team from the
University of Hockey located in
Greensboro. The team was com
posed of the fleet-footed forward
line, backed up by the hefty half
backs and the foolproof fullbacks.
Not to be forgotten in the Salem
lineup is Twinkle Toes Thompson,
our most gorgeous goalie. Wearing
ballet slippers and a tutu, our goalie
is seen standing in the goalie cage
looking prepared for anything, and
giving the team a feeling of con
fidence, for without our goalie, the
team would surely fall apart. Al
though at times neurotic. Twinkle
Toes may be heard yelling such
cries as “Y’all, I’m scared,” “Get
the ball out of here,” and “Debbie,
I can’t see, move to the left, no,
to the right, I can’t see!”
Winning the bully. Carousing
Cargill passes off to Gale Never-
Fail-Landress, and they charge
down the field. But, much to their
dismay, they lose the ball amid the
smoke billowing from one of the
cigarettes that was left on the field.
However, coming to the aid of the
forward line is Accident Kid A-K
(Ackroyd-Kelly) who smashes the
ball out to our fearless wing Cronly.
Jane dribbles the ball for a few
steps and falls down for the first,
but not last, time in the game.
Paige French, who has gone on the
wagon for this important game,
backs up her wing and starts the
ball on its trip downfield. Cross-
the-Hoss takes the ball and stam
pedes down the field, knocking over
all of the U. of Hockey’s players
with her tremendous strength and
speed, and she proceeds to score
a goal.
With the score 1-0, the teams
stop to take a drink and smoke on
the sidelines, refreshments being
served by Dr. Clauss and Mr.
Michie.
Back on the field, the bully takes
place with Charging Cargill again
showing her prowess and passing
off to Chris-Never-Miss-Connor.
Teaming with O. J., they run (?)
down the field and the University
of Hockey, seeing Jenkins coming
towards them, dodge OJ and let
her do what she wants. If they
had any question as to whether to
dodge OJ, they could have asked
one of the foolproof fullbacks, who
must play against her in practice,
and have many bruises and the like
to show for their courage against

New Club Plans
NotedPrograms
The Foreign Language Club,
which had its informal beginning
last year, has become an official
non-budget campus organization
this year. The purpose of this or
ganization is to provide educational
and entertaining programs in order
to broaden the insight into foreign
languages, cultures, and histories.
Membership is open to all in
terested persons. Programs will be
given concerning the following
civilizations; Spanish, French, Ger
man, Italian, Latin, and Greek.
These programs will prove to be
entertaining and worthwhile to each
and every student. The first sche
duled program of the year is the
French cabaret group, “Paris—Rive
Gauche.” Tickets are on sale now
for the performance on November
7.
Last year Dr. Baskin and Mr.
Bourquin promoted programs for
French students. They also initia
ted language tables in the Refec
tory where French is spoken dur
ing the lunch period. This year,
through the Foreign Language
Club, it is hoped that students will
benefit from the club’s activities.
