Proposal For
New Center
Is Discussed
By Amory Merritt
Have any of you wondered what
is going to happen to the area
under the Day Students’ Center
when Mr. Yarborough’s shop is
moved to the new steam plant ?
Well, Monday after lunch, the
presidents of most of the organi
zations on campus met in the
Friendship Rooms of Strong, at the
request of Dr. Gramley, to discuss
plans for a proposed Student Union
in the present shop.
Dr. Gramley showed the presi
dents a suggested floor plan for
the Student Union. Included in
this plan would be office space for
the Stee Gee, the I. R- S. and
A. A., the Pierrettes and other or
ganized activities. A large area
was set aside for a lounge with
refreshment facilities.
The college expects a change in
life at Salem when Wake Forest
comes to the city. The lounge has
been proposed to meet the needs
that change will bring about.
Another idea brought forth in
the meeting was that of having a
large meeting room for campus or
ganizations. Each organization
would have a filing cabinet of its
own in the room. In addition,
there would be smaller rooms for
the Stee Gee records and consul
tation.
There was some discussion as to
whether certain organizations
would prefer to remain in their
present offices or move to the Stu
dent Union.
Dr. Gramley gave copies of the
floor plan to several of the Presi
dents to take to their organizations
for discussion. The plans are to
be returned to Dr. Gramley by
Friday, February 24, with criticism
and suggestions.
The Sweetheart of Salem
By Mary Mac Rogers
“Always smile at your husband across the breakfast table” is the
latest advice frorn^ the 1956 Sweetheart of Salem. He is most often seen
sporting a bow tie and a big white apron, with his head bent over a
grill piling chili on hot dogs or putting lettuce and tomato on a ham
burger—In case you haven’t guessed—it’s . . . Tom!
Tom Perry, entered by Sisters’ Dorm, was chosen by Salem as their
1956 Sweetheart this week. Tom, a familiar figure on the campus,
operates Perry’s Grill. He has two small children and will sometimes
claim 325 more. His favorite records are Little Boy Blue, A Black
Leather Jacket, and Motorcycle Boot*.
Mr. Donald Britt, assistant to the President of Salem, was the runner-
up. He was entered by Bitting Dorm.
The fourth annual Salem Sweetheart contest was sponsored by the
Senior class. The past winners were: Dr. Gramley, Mr. Medlin and
General Carlos Romulo.

Under the joint sponsorship of the

Thursday, February 23, at 8:30 p.m.

Dr. Mead is a student of primi

She has spent many years living
among the peoples of the South
Seas and in that time has had to

Bali in 1936-39. In 1930 she pub

In 1953 when Dr. Mead returned
to the Admiralty Islands Territory
of Papua and New Guinea, she was
accompanied by two students from
the University of Pennsylvania.
The new field techniques of the
last 25 years were employed.
Since the beginning of the war
she has studied contemporary cul
tures in which the perspective
gained by a study of small, homo
geneous, stable societies is proving
of value. This “comparative ap
proach” helps to disfuse the fog
from many involved problems of
today. The new developments in
