New Biology Instructor Studies
Human and Animal Compatibility
A quiet man was staring out a
window at the beginnings of an ad
dition to the building he was sitting
in. The man—Dan McKinley, new
science teacher, who was on this
sunny autumn morning discussing
his interests . . .
“Right now I’m interested in a
McKinley
sort of ecology—the relationship of
luimans to their environment,” ex
plained the Univer.sity of Missouri
graduate. “It’s really concerned
with conservation and such projects
•—nothing like sociology.
“The study of how humans and
animals can live in the same world
is one of my major interests. This
is not as easy as it sounds—for
example, the navy is investigating
ways of destroying the albatross in
the Midway Islands. Ihey ap
parently get in the way of jet
planes that have to land there.
However, I think that they could
work something out without de
stroying one-fourth of the albatros
ses of the world,” he declared.
This tall instructor, after gradu
ating from college, worked at the
University in the labs and doing re
search work and “working in the
'college cafeteria,” he laughingly
adds. Alaska attracted him for two
years when he studied animals on
the Arctic Coast. His last position
was at Piowdoin College at Bruns
wick, Maine.
On personal things, Mr. McKin
ley, with typical fatherly pride,
spoke of his four-year old daughter,
Kathleen. “I suppose you could
consider photography a hobby of
mine but it consists primarily of
photographing Kathleen.”
“Teaching at Salem is my first
full-time teaching job that has in
cluded lectures—and it’s really a
full-time job,” he concluded.

don’t feel quite that “way out”,
man, and besides, it’s nice to think
about coming home to a small
cheerful living room and television
at the end of a hard day of
classes.
So girls, if you're on your way
to Salem’s Pill House and want to
put off taking that aspirin or gargl
ing that salt water, drop in to see
us. Use the side entrance and if
you don’t see Mary Louise or Caro
lyn or Frances Tennette in the liv
ing room, holler upstairs for Millie,
Connie McIntyre, J a n e Bellamy,
Norwood Dennis or me. We’ll be
happy to show you around and
make you part of our home!
Classes Elect
Board Members
By Sue Froneberger
Meetings one after another with an hour or two here and there

New members were added this
week to the Legislative Board.
Jackie Baker, chairman of the
freshman class, will serve on the
board. Also elected as freshmen
representatives were Suzanne Drake
and Douglas Heinrich.
Alice Dudley Howell was elected
as the sophomore representative to
the Legislative Board, to replace
Ann Booker.
Dean Major uas elected by the
freshmen to serve as their tempo
rary representative to the Judicial
Board until their permanent vice
president is named.
Salem’s Public Relations office
expanded its services this year to
include operation of the Admissions
Office.
Prior to this semester the job of
public relations was to contact pro
spective students. The office would
send these students information
about Salem and keep in touch with
them until the students sent an
official application to Salem. At
this point the public relations of
fice turned their job over to the
Board of Admissions with Dr.
Hixon serving as chairman of the
board.
The new office not only continues
its former duties, but it is also in
charge of admitting new students.
Miss Edith Kirkland serves as
Director of Admissions. Her two
assistants are Miss Alice Herring
and Miss Shirley Redlack. Miss
Virginia Brandon and Mrs. Judy
Davis'are secretaries of the office.
Other activities of the admissions
office include representing Salem at
college day programs and visiting
schools and individuals interested
in Salem or a school of Salem’s
type. The office interviews pros
pective students and their parents
who come to see Salem and shows
them the campus. Also Miss Kirk
land often attends College Board
meetings.
Dr. Hixon how'ever, still super
vises the admissions of transfers
and foreign students.
studrioT'five hour quizzes or to write that all important paper,],,
Linute plans for the Field Day, practices for the production on Wei
nesday night, pep rallies, song practices, a hastily scribbled note home-
these were typical of this week at Salem
Yes Freshman Initiation to Salem or Fits Day has set the pace
activities this week. Classes worked together as units in preparing
Fits Day There were class songs to be written and learned, pep rallies
to be held costumes to be assembled, practices to attend, spirit to b,
mustered and contests to be judged. Every Salemite has worked
and contributed toward the success of the first Fits Day at Salem.
Sara Griffin and Johanna Johnson were appointed the official mascot;
of the Sophomore Class—who could be more perfect!
Along with all this excitement came the usual problems of a Salem.
Freshmen were trying to decide what to wear to the Greek Week Dam
at Wake Forest; Winnie Bath was trying to decide whether or not
wear wool this soon; and Gay Austin was trying to figure out aw
to get rid of her innocent looks—she said she has tried for years
remedy the situation.
No week would be complete without the pranks of Salemites. Sunds
on second floor Babcock, every door was decorated with a pink gladiol
They were a “gift” from the Moravian Cemetery to a group of Fred
men. Lynn Ligon and Martha Parrott took some photos and newspapti
clippings from a Sophomore’s room—Sue Luter surely does miss them,
Our enthusiastic faculty also contributed heartily to make this ived
a success. The talks by DJ. Byers, Mr. Michie, Dr. Austin, Miss San
son, Miss Battle, and Miss Palmer in chapel on their recent trips
Europe wall probably create a vacant spot in the wallets of the parenli
of many Salemites who will point out to their parents the numerous
advantages of a summer in Europe. The support and enthusiasm of tk
faculty on Field Day added much to its success.

So another week at Salem has come to a close and an exciting wed
