Page Four Dale Robertson Continued from Page Three of the population. Hollywood is just like any other town.” “What do you think the future of movies will be?” “I think that T. V. will not take the place of movies, but I do be lieve that a few producers will be making the mf)re popular shows. “Do you think you will continue in both movies and television? “Yes.” “Mr. Robertson,- who have you enjoyed work'ing with most a fe male lead?” “Well, I've enjoyed working with many of them. 1 will admit there are two or three I did not •enjoy, hut 1 wouldn’t care to mention their names !” “And, now, what do you think of the sack dress.?” , ]lis answer was very definite. “1 don’t like them. “And what is your conception of an attractive woman?” He didn’t hesitate. “A Avoman News Bureau Issues Notice To Students ♦ • ♦ ♦ ♦ with an honest personality.” “Mr., R o b e r t s o n, thank you. You’ve been so nice to take the time for this brief interview,” I said. “And thank you,” he replied. “You all have been so nice to be nice to!” die smiled, and with a slight wave of his hand, he walked to ward the open gate. Roth of us knew that the six hours spent waiting for a fifteen minute interview had been well worth the itme. Mr. Robertson had shattered our misconceptions about movie stars with his cultured voice and sincere smile. “Wish we could stay and see the Rodeo,” Sarah Ann said,” but I guess we better get back to school.” We mired down again in the thick clay. As we passed a spirited I’alomino tied to a near-by post, he whinnied, shied, and kicked out his hind legs. Sarah Ann scooted in one direction, and I in the other, to a chorus of loud guffaws from a 'group of cowboys standing near by. We walked back to the car in red-faced silence and got in. We sighed and I turned on the ignition ... —F.rwin Robbins •—Sarah Ann Price Salem loses students every year for two main reasons —.marriage and transfer. Marriage is more or less self-explanatory: the young wife, ex-college girl, wishes to be a full-time wife. The act of trans ferring, however, reflects to a great extent on the school, on Salem College itself. What, if anything, is wrong with Salem ? The first consideration, of course, is academic. Salem, being a small school, does not offer as wide a curriculum as a larger college or university. Or a student may feel after two years here that the de partment she has decided to major in is not broad enough; this can lead a girl to either a larger school or one that specializes in her field. Something that all of us have ex perienced from time to time is the feeling that one or more of our teachers seems quite unaware of the fact that his is not the only- course on our schedules. This stems from Salem’s relatively high standards, but too much of it at one time can so disgust or frustrate even the very serious student that she will transfer to an easier school—one that is perhaps below her capabilities. This attitude can also spring from too much work in general being required in a minor course. Many of us also have run into a feeling of disrespect on the part of the teacher in student-teacher or class-teacher relationships; out of class we seem to gain some kind of respect as personalities, but often this becomes non-existent when the conversation turns to aca demic matters. By the time a girl has reached her second or third year in college, she is' presumably well on her way, or has arrived at, adulthood and should be treated as such. In addition, «she has com pleted thirteen or more years of school and should be credited with knowing something, however little that something may be. Transfer to a university speci fically, has many possible reasons behind it. They are mainly social : co-educ'ational institution, soroii- ties, more parties. Also, there are many different kinds of people at a big university; whereas, at a small girls’ college all the people are of similar background, have similar ideas on most subjects, and are more generally the same type of people. Some people feel that a large university prepares one better for “the cold, cruel world” that the student enters upon gradu ating; the impersonal attitude is closer to “the cold cruelty”. How ever, if that is what one is seek ing in college, one should not go to a small school to begin with. Most of the reasons given here for transferring are attitudes of students—objections to things that are, intrinsic to Salem and what Salem stands for. The rest are problems that have probably been around for some time; but they are problems that can and should be solved. Perhaps—then—most of us who love Salem would have less cause for wonder at the number of out-transfers: the number might decrease. —Anne Howes Within a very few weeks the rush of Commencement prepara tions will begin and this is an ex tremely busy time for the News Bureau, ft is not possible for Mrs. fjrantley to give Salem the out-of- state, state, and local publicity we feel our closing activities deserve without the cooperation of all con cerned-students, faculty, and ad ministration. ^ We are issuing this reminder, therefore, with the request that all persons responsible for any news worthy events between now and )une 2 idease get in touch with Mrs. Brantley WHDD IN AD VANCE of the date of occurence.
