THE SALEMITE
April 27.

§f)jec4datlo-n----^oi CMujJt . .
Speculation about the arrival of Wake Forest in Winston-Salem
becomes more popular as the time for the moving nears.
On one level people are wondering what it will do to Sa'lem “spirit.”
Some wonder if the sudden injection of new men into town—and a
■ set of females with which to compete—will make the “Salem girl” less
refined (more aggressive and realistic) than she is reputed to be.
Others are already being realistic. They wonder about the practical
changes that seem so inevitable and yet so far away.
If any changes ever come about, though, now, and not next fall, is
the time to begin. If we can hope to have more legal nights out, a less
rigid late-permission ruling, et cetera, we must' begin now to think and
to petition in specific terms*
The constitution of the Student Government Association contains a
clause (handbook p. 23) forbidding legislative action by the council after
the third week in April, But—as last year's petition for unlimited over
nights illustrated—the council is willing to begin consideration of peti
tions and put them first on next year’s agenda.
(To be acted upon, a petition requires the signature of ten percent
of the student body. To be passed it needs the approval of two-thirds
of the Student Council and of the President of the college.)
Another instance where specific suggestion is needed is in the plan
ning of how to use the new student center.
Early speculators have visualized a casual, comfortable area where
a hostess receives dates for—and notifies by phone—the girls whose
dorms have a less private reception room than Clewell.
The possibility of more men around campus in the afternoons and
on week-nights prompted this idea as a means of assuring a measure of
privacy in the dormitory basements and smoke rooms. This is one con
sideration.
There are other angles and possibly other ideas on how the new
center should be handled, ju.st what it should be called, who should
control it.
The system that starts when the center is first opened is very likely
to be the one that becomes accepted and traditional—and the one that
governs the new center to be built in several years. Now, and not after
an unsatisfactory system gets a foothold, is the time to suggest wdiat
should be done with and to the student center.
Certainly something comes to him wdio waits. It is not always what
he would have chosen.

Dorm living rooms and base
ments and the campus will soon be
littered with a new kind of cigar
ette butt! Yes, after Monday, stu
dents will be seen with brand-new
emerald green-and-white packs of
Salems. So far, Barclay Ball is the
only student I’ve seen with them.
She doesn’t smoke, but she must
have some sort of connection with
one of the Reynolds employees, be
cause they received complimentary
“premier” packs last week.
RJR has certainly bestowed sin
gular honor upon the school and
community by giving our name to
theirnew menthol filter-tipped weed.
Could it be that the company was
motivated by the results of the
smoking poll taken in chapel earl
ier this semester? In case, you
didn’t know, over two-thirds of the
student body indulge . . . and, as
for myself; there’s not a word of
truth in those old cancer reports!
♦ ^
Because there have been no re
cent pinnings, I have begun to lose
faith in the proverbial turning of
young men’s springtime fancy, but
my hopes w'ere rejuvenated by the
news of the marriage of Nelson,
Mrs. Pyron’s library helper. As
far as romantic, heart-warming
stories go, this one has Missouri
and Monaco beat all to pieces.
The couple dashed down to South
Carolina in his ’52 black Cadillac,
repeated their vows, and returned,
as I heard it, “in time to pick up
the 4 o’clock library mail”. How
ever, this is no foolhardy, youthful
elopement—Nelson is a matured
63; his bride is 31.

This weekend, Salem was left be
hind in peace and calm, as many
Salemites journeyed away to func
tions at institutions of higher learn
ing throughout the state. Agnes
Sams won first prize at the SAE
Jungle Party in Chapel Hill. She
said her appropriately “sun-baked”
complexion added the winning
touch to her African Zulu garb.
Belles seen at the various Old
South celebrations of Kappa Alpha
were: Patsy Kidd, Kack Anthony,
and Pat Greene at State, Jean
Humphreys, Claudia Milham, Janet
Waters, and Bebe Daniels at Wake
Forest, Lynn Warren, Nancy Wil
lis, and Rose Tiller at Duke, Lillian
Holland, Ann Suramerell, Eve Van
Vleck, and Martha Duvall at UNC.
There were no comments on the
ticklish question of K. A. beards.
The usual droves and frolicking
were reported seen at Davidson’s
spring dances. Ex-Salemites were
in the limelight at Chapel Hill, as
Mutt Parker and Rachel Ray were
nominated for Sigma Chi Sweet
heart, and Ellen Summerell for
Pika Dream Girl.
♦ * ♦
Tuesday, the “Salem Scrapbook”
skit put on by the freshmen in
chapel vvas well-received by the
audience. Any nostalgia upper
classmen may have been tempted
to ieel about a flash-back into frosh
days was deftly done away with by
llie ironic tone of a very cleverly-
written script. The “Green Death”
scene brought back memories a
little too recent for comfort. Glad
to see the Class of ’59 becoming
properly sopliomoric.
* * *
Judy Graham’s play, A Phoenix
Too Frequent, by Christapher Fry
was, regretfully, the last of Thea
ter Class productions. Heard sev
eral say that it contained some of
the best comedy ever produced
around these parts. Barbara Evans
drew laugh after laugh in her por
trayal of Doto, the maid. Her hic-
cuj)s and tipsy scene were danger
ously convincing.
Also in the dramatic line—Patsy
MacAuley has been appearing all
week in the Little Theater’s pro
duction of Sabrina Fair. Although
not in the play itself, she does a
short lyrical prologue before the
oirtain goes up on the first act.
* » *
Scattered bits of information:
The reasons behind the Congrats
sung to Agnes Rennie were two
gold cuff-links , bearing an Anna
polis insignia. She’s “cuff-linked”
to Stewart Hannah from Denver,
Colorado. Nollner Morrissett is
the current envy of stock-car rac
ing fans here. Riding back to
school on the bus, she sat by, and
w’as offered a stick of gum by
Curtis Turner, well-known celebrity
of the track! No autograph or
free tickets yet, though . . . The
convention has ended and the new
impressive soft-drink machine has
been silently removed from its place
outside the Salemite office. Visit
ing college presidents aren’t the
only ones who like cokes and big
oranges ... Jo Debnam has taken
drastic measures to illustrate her
opinion of certain dining-room de-
licaces. What will Mrs. Debn^m’s
reaction be to the C. O. D. pork
chop ? See the !§alemite next week.

At times the news of the world
seems so closely associated that it
is difficult to separate it into cata-
gories. In last weeks news, note
the connection between Stevenson’s
proposal for atomic tests and the
Soviet description of their latest
guided missile. See how the hopes
for Middle East peace are asso
ciated with the meetings in Eng
land with the Russian big-wigs. No
matter rvhat the news, however, it
is usually a safe bet to assume that
one factor will always be included,
the mighty U. S. S. R.

How much faster can man go ?
During the Korean War the United
States’ Sabrejet shot across the sky
•at 650 m.p.h. Last year the Super
sabre went a record 822 m.p.h. and
now the latest in jet warfare is the
Starfighter which travels a cool
1,500 miles per hour.
Last week before the American
Society of Newspaper Editors,
Adlai Stevenson charged that Am
erica has lost much of the world’s
respect and leadership under the
Republican reign.
His proposals: I) Channel our
foreign aid through the U. N. so

Court ruling made last Monday
that segregation on intrastate tran
sportation (city busses, etc.) is un
constitutional. Add to this decision
the previous ruling that prohibits
segregation on all interstate trains
and busses and all phases of trans
portation in the U. S. are pretty
much taken care of.
Thirteen states, including North
Carolina, have segregation laws
concerning transportation and the
prevailing opinion' is that we will
not alter them until challenged in
court. Many argue that these laws
have never been enforced, but have
been carried on by tradition.
' If tradition is sufficient to main
tain segregation, all very well, but
a law that demands a Negro to sit
on the back of a bus should be
abolished.

tional Philatelic Exhibition opening
tomorrow at New York’s Coliseum.

The World
Almost as an answer to Steven
son’s proposal, an angry threat
mng around the world when visit
ing Russians Bulganin and Kbrus-
cbev, angered by a “Down With
Moscow banner in Birmingham,
England, stated that Russia has de
veloped an H-bomb guided missile
which can hit every point in the
W'orld. ^ “Never shake your fist at
a Russian.”
Ike lost no time in announcing
that we are equal to Russia in
guided missiles and referring to
Stevenson’s proposal, said that
without tests, research in nuclear
weapons is useless.
As a result of the meetings car
ried on by brilliant Dag Hammar-
skjold, a cease-fire was signed be
tween Israel and Egypt. But how
long this peace will last is any-
