[anuary 12, 1951 THE SALEMITE Page Five Dr. Hall To Speak During Religious Emphasis Week New Science Building Nears Completion w H By Lola Dawson The constant beat of hammers the hum of cement mixers, and the sound of the workers’ voices is re sulting in a building which will be modern, roomy and an asset to Salem’s beauty. The new Science building, which is realizing the hopes of all science and Home Ec. majors and heads of those departments is well on its way to completion. If you can get over the piles of sand and cement and go into the side door,. you will find yourself in the basement. To your left at either end are inside steps which lead up to the top floor. The basement consists of Organic and Analytical labs on the back side of the building between which are two weighing rooms. On the front side are, from left to right, a dark room, a stock room, and a room for mechanical services, such as tools, direct current generation, com pressed air and work benches. Dividing the two sides of this and every floor is a corridor running down the middle of the building. All the floors are made from ter- azzo, which consists of both marble and cement chips. From there we go up to the first floor. If you plan to walk up these unfinished steps, prepare to balance yourself as if on a tight rope. The first floor is now the main center of activity. Most of the partitions have been put up, and there is a constant necessity of ducking under boards, and bumping into workers who are putting up the last block of the partitions. The Bacteriology lab is on the left of the main entrance with an office, janitor’s service room and wash rooms on the right. Cross ing over the corridor we find the Chemistry lecture room on the left, stock room and weighing room in the middle, and the Chemistry lab on the right. Back to the steps and the tight rope illusion, we come to the se cond floor. On the left, facing the front are the Biology and Physics lecture room, two offices and a wash room. On the left are a Phy sics lab. Biology and Physics stock rooms and a Biology lab. Up to the third and top floor and we see ihe Home Ec. rooms. The lecture, room, and office are on the left, MORAVIAN COOKIES YEAR AROUND ARDEN SALEM STORE Across From Salem Square Dr. Frank Hall Pearsall Memorial Presbyterian Church at Wrightsville, N.

Now, having acquired a wonder ful sense of balance, we go back down the steps to the ground. The grounds outside of the building will be landscaped, and the roof is made of pre-cast cement slabs covered with asphalt paper and tiles. Yes, the Science building with its modern equipment and venti lation is receiving a lot of labor and thought. The Science depart ment hopes to begin moving in equipment by Spring. Peggy Qray Becomes New Staff Member By Clara Justice Peggy Gray, a 1948 Salem grad uate, has returned to her Alma Mater to be an assistant to Miss Kirkland in the Public Relations office. Peggy will be here for two weeks, then she will start on her itinerary, for her new job will be to visit North Carolina high schools in order to interest the senior girls in coming to Salem. Peggy, who was associate editor of the Salemite when she was a senior at Salem, still has the same charm and vivacity for which she was so well known. She is now the permanent president of her class. This office is for alumnae’ purposes. Prior to coming to Salem this week, Peggy had a job editing the McLean Trucking Company publi cation.

Todd Hails William Faulkner Recent Nobel Prize Winner “Shoes of Character Fitted with a Purpose** Paschals-Ferrell Shoe Store 219 'W. 4th Street Winston-Salem, N. C. “Reznicks For Records” R E Z N I C K ’ S Complete Stock of Records & Sheet Music Across From State Theatre 440 N. Liberty Dial 2-1443 By William B. Todd A Nobel Prize award has served, rather belatedly, to awaken an in terest in William Faulkner, an author much admired by those be yond the seas—as the award at tests—but little known and less admired by his compatriots. For the European, in the words of Dr. Gustaf Hellstroem of the Nobel Committee, Faulkner is the “un rivalled master of all living British and American novelists.’ For us, on the other hand, he remains, as he himself confessed in the pre face to Sanctuary, often unpublish ed, more often unread. Why have v.-e refused to consider what Faulk ner has to say? Faulkner Is Psychologist Part of the answer lies, 1 believe, in what Hellstroem goes on to ob serve : that this author is “a deep psychologist.” He is not interested in the apparent and the superficial, in the pose and sham which pro vides the veneer of our outward life. Beneath this is the inner man; and if we dare to see what is there, vv^e must nhinere through the involutions of Faulkner’s prose or, more precisely, through the in coherent meanderings of his char acters to discover the concealed re cesses of the heart. There, re vealed, is the heart self-possessed, hardened and cruel; there the heart dispossessed, infolded in fear and distrust; there also the heart unpossessed, torn apart, outraged and betrayed. This is, admittedly, not a pretty sight, difficult to perceive without revulsion, and even more difficult to. understand. What Faulkner has shown us, essentially, are three orders of society, ('!) the ‘Snopses’ and their ilk—suave, slick-haired, up and coming business men who, if they are not restrained, will lay waste the land and its people, (21 the ‘Compsons’—gentle-born and honorable aristocracy driven by their own pride and by the Snop ses to seclusion, introversion, and eventually to moral disintegration, and (3) an unnamed group of many individuals, also victimized by the Snopses or by their own ignorance, maltreated, debased, and so af fronted that they can find only in the sanctuary of the bordellos, the calm of idiocy, or the peace of the grave. All three groups speak out in the novels, the first distinctly and with assurance, the second in the vague language of superan nuated knight-errants, the third in the seemingly unintelligible, but uninhabited and apocalyptic jabber of the insane. Thus, perforce, we move through , the pages from the obvious to the obscure and back again. Difficult Style Essential Once the varying style is recog nized as a necessary concomitant of the matter, Faulkner’s novels may be approached with some con fidence, if not with entire compre hension. We should not be too disconcerted when the recital of a letter in Absalom, Absalom! sud denly breaks off in mid-sentence on page 173, to be resumed on page 377—a thought, many thoughts have obtruded at this jun-cture and find expression. And these, we may be sure, are more revealing than the cautious, restrained lan guage of the letter. Similarly, (Continued on page six) BRODT-SEPARK MUSIC CO.
