portant Student Body meeting.

cern the whole student body will be
explained and discussed. Announce-
rnents by various campus organi
zations will be made.
Nan Williams, president of the
Student Government, urges all stu

everyone.
Assembly Conduct
We realize that assembly is the
one opportunity for students col
lectively to hear announcements.
However, it is unfair to our guest
speakers and to our groups spon
soring programs for them to give
up ffifteen minutes or so of their
time for these notices.
. Please hand Carolyn McLoud
Chief Marshal only items which
must be read — those worthy of
special emphasis either because of
lashminute change or because of
their unusual nature.
The Assembly Committee thanks
mu for your co-operation.
Salem’s first FITS (Freshman
Initiation To Salem) Day is over.
What Salemites think of it?
“Salem College has never seen so
much school spirit!” says Betsy
Gatling- The faculty had the spirit
and it spread throughout the class
es, comments Sara Lu Richardson.
Lynn Ligon was “amazed. This is
the first time the classes seemed
unified. We Juniors wish we had
put out more effort.” Most Juniors
seemed to feel that the classes
should have been notified sooner
that they were to take part, but
no classes felt they should not have
participated. In fact, Frances Jen-
nette says, as far as the juniors and
seniors are concerned, we got much
more out of it than the old way.
Norwood Dennis suggests that the
party afterward be held for every
one, while Katie Kochtitzky thinks
that the program should include a
time, perhaps at the supper, for
socializing between the faculty and
the students. Abbie Suddath feels
that the juniors and seniors should
have been spectators at the skits,
while Betsy Guerrant suggests that
the faculty even do a skit.
To get more contact between the
freshmen and sophomore classes,
Abbie Suddath thinks some of the
organized activities of previous
years should be included. She says,
‘Why cut out getting them up early
in the morning. This is not ratting
the freshmen individually. It’s just
plain fun.” She feels that such
activities would make being a sop
homore more important. Ava Camp,
a freshman says, “The little bit of
ratting that was done should re
main. It breaks the monotony of
studying.” But Rosemary Laney
says, “I think that after this year
we will have no problem with rat
ting.”
Rosemary and Augusta Currie
agreed on their first opinion, I
thought it was going to be “Mickey
Mouse”, but it was the greatest!”
Joanne Doremus predicts that
“classes will work harder on their
skits and spend more time next
year.” Libba Lynch says, “Field
Day surprised upperclassmen — far
more participation than we ex
pected.” As Sue Randak says, “It
snowballed into a great thing.”
To solve the general complaint
that freshmen had to wear their
beanies too long, Sally Wood sug
gests that the capping ceremony be
held later than the first week of
school. Katie Kochtitzky adds that
the Field Day itself should be held
during warmer weather. Sally also
suggests that there, be organiza
tional projects for the freshmen,
but not any ratting.
“Fabulous” was the freshmen’s
favorite adjective. Rooney Nelson
wants some limited ratting, and all
freshmen want to cut down the
period for wearing the beanies. To
quote Buggs Brandon, their general
feeling about Field Day was, “It
Rocked.”

have been granted permission to

free evening engagement for that
weekend. This permission is not
to be taken as an endorsement by
the Legislative Board of the ap
pearance of the Kingston Trio at
the Coliseum at 8:00 p.m. that

collegiately famed grou^^ of folk-

Union of Wake Forest, who has in
vited these balladeers to appear,

IRC And NSA
Plan UN Day
IRC and NSA will sponsor obser
vance of UN Day at Salem Oct. 28,
in an effort to call attention to the
United Nations and the role it plays
in the world situation.
Betty Wilson, IRC president, is
in charge of the UN Day decora
tions. Posters have been put up
over the campus and the Refectory
tables will be decorated with mina-
ture flags of the UN member-
countries.
“We hope by the reminders on
the tables and the posters to make
Salem more aware of the UN and
of the responsibility that college
students have toward the world or
ganization,” declared Nina Ann
Stokes, NSA representative.
Charles Jones, chairman of the
Carolinas-Virginia region of NSA,
will speak in assembly Wednesday,
Oct. 28, as part of the UN Day
observance. He will speak on “The
Necessity of NSA” especially as it
relates to international affairs and
will incorporate in his talks things
he learned at the Vienna Youth
Festival. This Festical is a com
munist-inspired meeting of world
youth which Americans attended as
informed people, not as official
American government representa
tives.
United Nations’ founding is based
on two dates; June 26, 1945 when
the charter was signed and Oct. 24,
when the UN came into existance
legally by the filing of the required
number of radifications with the
U. S. State Department.
In 1947, by an American-spon
sored resolution, the UN declared
that Oct. 24 was to be known as
United Nations Day and that the
day was to be devoted to making
the aims and purposes of the or
ganization known to the world and
to gain support of the world’s
peoples.
NOTICE
Saturday, Oct. 24, at noon
is the deadline for all appli
cations for the Fulbright
Scholarships.
