The first week in April has been declared by
the Legislative Board as the most important
week of the year. From this year on, it will
be a matter of general policy to install all
officers during one chapel period of this week.
Some cynics may accuse this year s major of
ficers of laziness, since the installation is us
ually held after Easter vacation, or about April
21 for this year. But the major consideration
in this decision was for the new officers if in
stalled on April 21, they would have less than
a month to learn how to run Stee Gee, con
duct the Judicial Board, plan sports events or
give call downs for such offenses as trampling
the seniors in chapel.
Therefore, the week of April 1 is now pro
claimed the end of the old fools’ reign and the
accession of new fools to their duties.
The Junior Class has taken whole-heartedly
to this definite date for installation for it
could also give each junior class a definite
length of time to have cars on campus. As
the rule stands now, their cars may appear of
ficially on campus any time from the middle of
March to the end of April, or whenever the
end of spring vacation chances to fall.
It is common practice (as all students know)
to park cars with Wake Forest friends, rela
tives in town, or in extreme cases, in town
garages, until the deadline date comes.
While moving the deadline up to April 1
may not entirely solve this problem, certainly
such a concession by the Administration might
make the Junior Class more willing to wmit
until this date to bring cars to Winston-Salem.
Granted, parking wdll be a problem, but this
will be an eternal verity until the square be
comes the “Salem Parking Lot” and probably
even after that.
Therefore, let’s set the date for cars at April
1 and put an end to the ritual of “Junior class
petitions for cars.” ^ ^ „

Around The Squan
By Peggy Brown
So we’re all going to turn over a new lea(
are we ? Well, it surely hasn’t shown mueli of
itself as yet. Compared to the activity and
commotion of the week or so before semester
break, things are at a rather low ebb at the
moment.
During exams, in addition to the usual
frustration, or perhaps as a result of it, water
fights were in prominence on first and second
floors Clewell, followed by a lovely braiding
of, . . . (ahem!) . . . across the doors on second
floor the following morning. What I’d like to
know is, who first smelled the “fire” in Sister
at 1:30 A.M.?

rlistory Major Offers Variety
Of Positions In Schools, Gov’t
There are m a n y opportunilie.s
which are open to women in the
field of history. Of course, one
isually thinks of teaching first. The
majority of history majors do go
nto this field. With the teaching
salarie.s slowly going up and the
great demand for teachers, this is
a valid consideration. However, if
teaching is not appealing, there are
nany other job opportunities avail-
ble. Graduate school always en
hances one’s opportunities and
salary level. (Full information on
ellowships and graduate study can
he found in the office adjoining
Hiss Simpson’s. It might be added
hat the up and coming preference
.rf a foreign language for graduate
ichool is Russian.)

IIow is your gazebo coming along! Has the
idea of independent study taken hold of your
imagination? If so, you are beginning to see
that independent thought is an indispensible
correlary. But the process must not remain
forever in the individual. That inner measur
ing of which Dr. Byers spoke not on>y de
termines your aspirations and evaluates inde
pendent work, but it also compels you to ex
press these ideas, which, though they be great
or small, are still your own.
Your opportunity to communicate these
thoughts to others is through Salem’s Literary
Mazagine, which will be distributed on May
Day. Already progress has been made in
financing this publication. The Concessions
Committee has given the Literary Magazine
two hundred dollars, and many patrons of the
magazine, including parents of interested stu
dents, townspeople, and faculty members, have
made contributions. Other people interested
in becoming patrons of the magazine are en
couraged to do so by contacting Susan Hughes,
the business manager.
But it is the students who must make the
most vital contribution, essays, poetry, cri
tiques, short stories, and art work. Subjects
that range from the humorous to the tragic,
from the satirical to the sublime, ideas and
style that vary according to the individual are
suitable for the creative material which will
make up the magazine. Students in all four
classes are urged to turn in their literary
material to Felicity Craig and their art work
to Toni Lamberti as soon as possible. The
deadline for all contributions is March 15, mais
il faut ne jamais rien remettre a la derniere
minute, n’est-ce pas?
Other considerations are jobs with
he government, as archieves and
ibrary assistants such as with the
Library of Congress and National
lallery of Art. Departmental and
field positions in Washington, \ ir-
ginia, Maryland, and in a few for
eign countries are available. The
first step toward applying for a
government job is to take the civil
service examination. Salaries range
from $,685 to $4,480 for those with
undergraduate degrees. Opportuni
ties may also be found on the state
level.
College graduates with majors in
history, English, art, and the social
sciences will find good job oppor
tunities with a historical society or
foundation. Historians and librar
ians are needed to service the re
search collections and to continue
the vast and never ending job to
collect and preserve historic docu
ments. Those interested m editorial
work and creative writing will find
the historical societies’ publication
program a valuable training ground.
As for museums and historical sites,
there has been a complete re-evalu
ation of their roles as a force in
both formal and informal education.
Majors in history, education, and
art are needed to train as curators,
the experts who collect objects that
have historic value and who plan
and execute exhibits and displays. |
This involves public relations. For !
further information, write American |
Association for State and Local
History, 816 State Street, Madison
6, Wisconsin.
' For those interested in editorial
work, many magazines such a?
Time and Newsweek and most
newspapers employ history majors
W'ith B. A. degrees. This is a broad
opportunity which could lead to
work in foreign countries.
The fields of law and politics are
interesting more and more women.
History has been the background
for most of our lawyers, political
leaders and statesmen. Maybe
someday there will be women
Roosevelts and Churchills I Already
women fill some of our major gov
ernment positions, such as Ivy
Baker Priest, and Ovetta Culp
Hobby. As you can see, the field
of history has -wide opportunities
for women.

Others had different distractions to proper
exam study. The girls in Pfohl House were
busily writing and rehearsing songs and plan
ning what they would do when they were
“out”. Amanda Gough was shopping and plan
ning for her wedding, while Ruth Minter (her
ex-roomie) and Carol Cross we’re looking for

as a day student second semester, and Amanda
has enrolled at Guilford College. We all wisi

But we all got through it all right, and the
new semester opened with, not a bang, but
almost a dull thud, here in the All-America
City. Dr. Gramley’s back now, so we kno\r
we’ll be well looked after from the big white
house on North campus, and anyway, there’s
really some pretty exciting activity going on
under the apparent quiet on campus. 'Win
