THE SALEMITE Page Three Faculty Attend Conferences White^ President's Assistant, Finds Work At Salem 'Tun*' INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS Salem vs. Woman's College Around The Square By Sue Froneberger This week, Salemites around the square have used some of their facuiities other than their feminine charmes. Much of this use was in- voiuntariiy given as students hurriediy tried to catch up on work^^in preparation for their hour quizzes. Everyone was striving for that “aii important” passing grade. ' Saiemites, is a “passing grade” the ideai of the American in a schooi of higher education, or do we want something more from aii the hours we spend studying each day? Do we iook at our studies in coiiege on the same ievei that we iooked at them in high schooi—as an evii to dispense with as quickiy as possibie, so that we can discuss much more interesting topics such as clothes, boys, pins, and Saturday night dates? Or do we accept the challenges put to us by our professors, that of bettering ourselves through thought and study. ' Much has been said concerning the lack of intellectual activity, out side that of the classroom, on Salem’s campus. There is intellectuality here if the students will only avail themselves of it. We have exceptional speakers through our Lecture Series, the International Relations Club, the denominational speakers, and our chapel programs. ' Why do Salemites not make use of these and many other aspects of our college life? The answer is simple—there is no interest. Why is there no interest ?' Because most of us don’t even know why we re m college what we believe in, or what we want out of life. These thoughts may cross our minds, but we push them aside because we haven t got time to sit down and think them through. Were just too busy living to think. . , , • • . ar:, J The question immediately arises—but what can msignincant I do a*bout this situation? Salemites, we have a responsibility to fulfall to our nation and, most important, to ourselves. We are America s future. Are we going to drift along from day to day in complacency this is the easy way out, or are we, as America s hope for the future, going to accept a challenge and begin to search for some answers to these very important questions. During the first week in Novem ber, faculty members and admini strative heads will be attending con ferences in Durham, North Caro lina.

By Buggs Brandon Jack White, new assistant to Salem President, showed signs of typical campus fever—lack of sleep, when he was subject of a surprise interview for The Salemite. He had turned off the lights in his office, retired to one corner, set tled in a chair, and was merrily ‘sawing wood”. After I barged in unannounced and rudely aroused him from his slumber, and after he offered a weak excuse, “I like to sit for a while with the lights off,” we got down to the business of the journal istic pursuit of truth. I learned that Mr. White is a native of Winston-Salem and a member of the Home Moravian Church. He attended a local county high school. He earned his Bache lor of Science degree at Guilford College and his Master’s at Uni versity of North Carolina. He also attended Davidson, Duke, Montana State College and even W. C. He has taught science in Winston- Salem city schools for the past eight years. Mr. White is married, has no children. As for work at. Salem he says, ‘fine, the work’s lots of fun. I think everyone should have fun at their work.” He is well acquainted with Salem, having lived all his life in Winston-Salem and having been in four or five Pierrette plays. In his spare time he does lighting and acting for the Little Theater. lTf> helns with horse shows. It’s all about THE FEMALE JUNGLE! Where a girl can get anything she wants except a wedding ring!
