Sir Cedric Hardwicke i^ an Eng

iFngland who now lives in New
York City. He has played leading
roles in New York and London
since 1924. This outstanding actor’s
first great success came in London
a number of years ago in George

audience. One of the most in
teresting pieces of the program will
be Sonata No. 1 in G Minor by
Bach. Written for unaccompanied
vidin, it sounds fantastic and rhap
sodic with the difficult passages of
colossal four voiced chords span
ning two octaves, and its capri
cious runs and ornamentations.
This, as well as the Brahms Sonata
No. 3 in D Minor, was written
late in the composer’s life and
shows the highest degree of com
plexity.
The Brahms Sonata is tightly
written harmonically with ideas
coming very close together. There-

Yet, this might well be a tonal
portrait of the composer with its
restlessness and tensions as well as
moods which alternate from so
briety to a mischievous humor.
French works on the program in
clude Poeme by Chausson and So
nata in G Minor by Debussy.
Chausson was a pupil of Franck,
and one can see the Franck style
in this orchestral tone poem which
suggests poetic moods of beauty.
The sonata for violin was the last
work Debussy wrote. At the time
he was extremely depressed about
his poor health and the piece shows
his mood.
Civil Defense Authorities To Stage
Mass Evacuation of Salem College
On October 30: Instructions Given
D Graham
Speaks On
“Judgment”
Dr. Billy Graham’s dynamic de
livery held an audience of 15,000
spellbound, according to the group
of Salemites who attended the
Charlotte Crusade on October 19.
His sincerety inspired 500 people
to rededicate their lives at the end
of the service.
The topic of his hour-long ser
mon was ■ Judgment. In it, he
emphasized the fact that “Judg
ment Day is coming, repent now,”
and upheld his view with several
scriptural passages. He elaborated
on the existence of two heavenly
books, on one of which is inscribed
feach person’s name and a list of
his sins and good works. When
one becomes a Christian, his sins
are erased and his name entered
in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
A stimulating orator. Dr. Graham
reaches his hearers through the
emotions rather than by intellec
tual appeal. This is not to say
that his sermons are in poor taste:
he simply presents clearly what he
considers to be the essentials of
the Christian faith.

A siren will sound at some time
on Thursday, October 30, giving
the signal for Salem students to
practice an evacuation, as requested
by the local Civil Defense authori
ties.
Prior to October 30th each stu
dent must:
1. Read carefully the two items
which will be placed ■ in her
box.
2. Fill out the civil defense evac
uation tag which wijl be given
her in assembly on October
27th.
On the day of the evacuation
each person will be required to
obey the following instructions:

Gramley Grants Freshmen
Their Overnights Petition
At Monday afternoon’s Student
Government meeting Margaret
MacQueen read the affirmation of
Stee Gee’s recommendation con
cerning the freshman petition. She
commented that the administration’s
•reply contained good advice for
not only freshmen, but upper-class
men as well. It reads as follows:
OFFICIAL NOTICE
To: Student Council and Freshmen
Re: First-semester overnights
“Your petition has been con
sidered by the Administration in
consultation with the Faculty Ad
visory Board of Student Govern
ment. The following observations
are pertinent:
1. According to comments by
some faculty members, many
freshmen have not yet made
adequate and satisfactory ad
justment to academic require
ments at the college level. The
reasons may be one or more
of the following: inadequate
preparation, failure to budget
time, failure to assess relative
values, lack of motivation and
therefore lack of interest,
faulty comprehension, insuf
ficient self-discipline, immature
attitudes, inattention, poor
study habits, beautiful weather,
you-name-it-yourself.
2. Freshmen—and all other stu
dents, too, of course—have a
serious obligation to their
parents as well as themselves
to make a success of their col
lege opportunity. This requires
that students keep all things
always in proportion. It re
quires also that students be
responsible individuals.
3. College life as well as all of
life at every level imposes
choices upon individuals . . .
The person who learns to make
the right choices learns to live
with poise and maturity. Plea
sure is a choice, but so is duty.
An enduring personal satisfac
tion is to choose to do with
grace what you have to do.
4. Six weeks’ tests are closer than
one thinks. These tests pro
vide a “reading” not only on
a student’s academic achieve
ment to date, but on her ad
justment to every aspect of
college life and her acceptance
- of responsibility . . . The
faculty, by the way, doesn’t
“give’ ’grades; it merely re
cords the grades a student has
earned.
5. There are no twelve easy steps
to an education. The desire
to live pleasantly and confi
dently on a college campus
should be tenipered by the
sobering knowledge of a need
to secure education of the
mind. Although it is good to
be fortified by vitamins f-om
the medicine cabinet of Over
nights, the student should
never take an overdose.
6. The Student Handbook does
not deliver up to students the
answer to all her problems,
neatly tied up in packages and
properly beribboned, but it
does suggest boundaries within
the spirit of which a student,
adequately qualified by CEEB
test scores and character ref
erences, has reasonable oppor
tunity to justify herself as well
as her parents’ and Salem’s
confidence in her.
7. The Administration and the
Faculty Advisory Board have
confidence in the Class of 1962.
If its members have read care
fully Items 1-6 above, we feel
you will “dole out” your four
first-semester overnights at a
judicious and responsible tempo
. , . Your petition is affirmed.
DALE H. GRAMELY
President
The recommendation as affirmed
states that first-semester freshmen
are allotted four overnights, only
two of which may be taken during
the first four weeks of school.
Volunteers are asked for to form
a committee to study the use of
money from the campus food and
drink machines. In discussing last
year’s idea of using the funds for
establishing a scholarship, Sandi
Shaver suggested that it might be
used for sending campus delegates
to conventions.
out the day.
2. When the siren sounds walk,
not run, to the point nearest
the cars around Salem Square.
Take no books with you.
3. Stay on the sidewalk.
4. Enter cars as directed.
5. If you are a driver, when your
car is filled, leave as directed.
Drive with Civil Defense card,
which a faculty member will
give you, turn head lights on
low beam, and follow traffic.
Traffic will move across to the
Old Salem Bypass and will
turn left and go south to South
Main Street, then continue to
the Skyview Drive-In.
6. Wait to be dismissed by Civil
Defense Authorities.
7. Return promptly and carefully
to the college.
8. Recover books and continue
normal schedule.
All students may not find a place
in a car. Those remaining will
walk beside the library on West
Street to Main Street, then turn
left and walk down South Main
to the grass plot. They will re
main until dismissed by Civil De
fense Officials.
Students on the athletic field or
in the gymnasium, who do not
have cars, will follow^ the campus
road to Salem Ave. turn right and
walk to intersection of South Main
St. Students, on the athletic field
or in the gymnasium, who have
cars, will proceed at once to their
cars and follow the directions above
for drivers.
I R C Elects
New Officers
At the International Relations
Club meeting on October 16, Dr.
Africa gave an informal review of
the Formosan situation and its pos
sible relation to a world war.
New officers elected include: Susan
Foard, president; Lynn Ligon, vice-
president; and Sallie Hickok, secre
tary-treasurer.
A constitutional committee was
appointed to draw up a document
which will further enable the club

acting as a link between the re
stricted , college environment and
the outside world.
Dr. Africa announced that Salem
will participate in the Mock United
Nations Assembly to be held in
December. Delegates will be re
quired to do some research in
order to defend their particular
country’s views. The IRC urges
anyone to volunteer to serve as a
delegate who is interested in get
ting first-hand experience in gov
ernment on the international level.
Details will be given at the Novem
ber meeting.

be carried out in conjunction with
Salem Academy and Central School,
and is made possible by the Civil
Defense program established by the
federal government. The Academic
Council, composed of department
heads and a steering committee for
the evacuation, comprise the Civil
Defense Committee of Salem. Pro
