Pape Two THE SALEMITE November 17, 1950 ... Dean Lists Courses Th(* “iiitoriiational situation during the twentieth century has been one of strange monotony; with the exception of but one short “era of good feeling”, the horizon of Ihe past fifty years has [>resented a dark picture. Kit'her world war, limited engagements, or the threat of both has always been within the sight of man. From colonial conflicts the world has “progressed” through world wars, industrialism, economic-political experiinents, and an exer-widening cultural and economic ideological divergance until at mid-century it finds itself divided into two armed camps, with the possibility of self-destruction ever nearer. So complex has become life that the burden of economic activities, cultural aspira tions, and the “art of warfare” cannot be car ried on the shoulders of a select few; rather each involves all. The imminent registration of all females between the ages of 18 and 52 stabs at the heart of Salem campus with stark reality. N^one are exempt. Such a picture leads one to ask the “big (piestion”: Are idealogical differences, and wars diseases merely symptoms of deeper ill nesses? if the former, ivhy can thej' not be [irevented? If the latter, then what are the diseases of our society? Perhaps mankind has lost sight of the juirpose of life—or has he evei- found it? Perj)lexing (questions, yes, but not unanswer able. Wars are but symptoms; real differ ence's lie dipper. The break-up of the world into !)0-odd sovereign states; nationalism; the niK'ejual (leveloi)ment of iiidnstrialism and its corrollary, the inequalities of distribution of the |)roducts of industrialism; all are diseases which, when they become inflamed, explode into warfare. The inter-reaction of each has produced the intensity of twentieth century total war. lint note that war is a symptom; if we wish to eliminate it .we must attack the deeper causes of it. To do so does not involve the negative ai)i>roach of preparing for war. (Although until the deeper causes have been recognized and attacked, such is an evil nee- essity of twentieth century life.) Rather there is needed a positive approach which ' looks beyond war; a spiritual conviction of the possibility of creating a better world by d('stroying those seeds of war inherent in this present one. Such a j)ositive approach implies a thorough knowledge of the civilization of today, of its historical develo[)nie!it and heritage, and a real desire to see it enlarged and expanded. It rallies against those who wish to intrench and “to have and to hold”. The positive aj)- jiroach to the world affairs of 1950 is a dy namic, creative ])artici))ation in the cultural, intellectual, social and political civilization that is 1950. For Next Semester W. F.

Last night “Goodbye My Fancy” became a reality to all Salem students, who had been waiting for it in such anticipation. I felt it, and I think the whole audience did, as a crowning suc cess to the tense period of preparation of the last weeks. What kind of play is “Goodbye My Fancy”? I found it difficult to decide. A mixture of reality and fantasy, of comical situations and sometimes tragical satire of characters. I think I never realized really what was acting as clearly as last night when I saw on the stage those girls who are our school mates of everyday. Cary, Lola, Lee ... for this night were part of Fay Kanin’s world. Thej" wmre Agatha, Ginny, Ellen . . . com pletely. Could this elegant young lady, this Congresswoman, full of self-confidence and authority, be Cary Borges—Cary who was chatting with me in my room last night. I never had seen before a girl who could, as she did, without any professional training, go up onto the stage and forget herself com pletely in her character, giving the audience such lively interpretation of a part which, in fact, is of the most difficult kind. She proved that she has the real sense of theatrical action. What to say about Nancy Ann Ramsey who played “Woody”, if not that she was perfect in her part, completely natural and that she dominated the w'hole comical side of the play, bringing the audience to irresistible laughter, with the help of Lee Rosenbloom in the part of Ellen Griswold. As for Lee, the very fact of looking at her in her red-feathered hat and the composition of her face, made the audience laugh as soon as she entered the stage wvith her gentle, hipping step. Sincerety also ivas the quality of Lola Daw son s acting the complete simplicity of the way in which she interpreted the character of Gnniy gave her the power to master her part, which was not of an easy nature. The masculine characters were held by pro fessional actors; Bill Griffith and Jim Dead- rick are not Salem students I They brought with them the help of their theatrical exper ience and held the two parts which express he serious side of the play and sometimes its moving gravity, the problems of college pre sidency and educational system. there was a figure mniliar to Salem College, Bryan Balfour, who gave an excellent interpretation of Matt Cole, Life reporter and a violent lover. He was as much at ease and sure of himself on the 5iage as on the campus. be too long to characterize the enomvb T of each actor, but it is nimiv ®8,y that there was a perfect har- iiionv among all of them. soSv*^ h production stood the per- mdn " c^ii-ector.
