Tradition Alive

||of the many traditions still
alive at Salem. Every year
the seniors plant a tree in
remembrance of their class
and in dedication to the
college. This year the class of
1979 planted a white dogwood.'
They chose the white
dogwood because they
wanted to plant it not only in
their remembrance, but in
remembrance of Dr. and
Mrs. Cuninggim. Their
favorite tree is the dogwood.
The tree was planted in front
of the science building. The
ceremony was held on April

Arts Management:
Unique to Salem
Arts Management is a
unique, newly conceived
major oh college campuses.
At this time, there are only 18
graduate schools in the nation
that provide for the major.
This year Salem instigated
the degree program into its
curriculum and is presently
the only undergraduate
school that offers an Arts
Management major.
The coordinator, special
advisor and seminar in
structor is Grace Jemison
Rohrer. Among other ac
complishments she is
currently management
consultant to arts
organizations and has served
as the secretary of the North
Carolina Department of
Cultural Resources and a«
executive director of Lear
ning Foundations in Winston-
Salem. The Arts Man: emenjL
program is supportca by a
faculty, highly qualified in
teaching courses ranging
from the arts to business and
management.
“In the past 20 years,’’
stated Mrs. Rohrer, “arts
organizations have ex
perienced a rapid growth and
an increased government
funding.’’ Because of the
of
these
expansion
organizations, the need for
skilled a^rts administrators
arises,
ffiis type of administrator
skills and be adept at handing
public relations and com
munity development. Mrs.
Rohrer explained that “the
hiring of an administrator for
an arts organization leaves
the artist free to create.’’
In order to provide a basic
preparation for the Arts
Administration student that
will meet the numerable
expectations, Mrs. Rohrer
and the faculty have placed
an emphasis on gaining a
historical perspective of art,
music, dance, drama and
Western Civilization, with
which to understand the
cultural flow and the artistic
expressions of different
periods. Also emphasized is a
development of strong
management skills and an
insight to the problems and
issues of arts management.
The required courses for a
Bachelor of Arts degree with
a major in arts management
includes the basic courses in
all BA programs plus the
historical surveys; survey of
music literature, survey of
