The visitation committee which will represent the Commission on Colleges and Universities of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in reviewing Salem’s Self-Study report will be on campus, April 3-6. They will be housed in the Pfohl,House and take their meals in the dining room. Work space for the committee will also be set up in the room adjoin ing the reception room in Main Hall. Members of the committee are: Chairman, Dr. Judson C. Ward, Jr. vice president and dean of the faculties, Emory University; Dean Harriet Hudson, Randolph-Macon Woman’s College; Dean Kenneth K u e h n e r, Coker College; and NASM representative. Dean John Bitter, School of Music, University of Miami. Letter To The Editor S. L. F \2ZA Dear Editor: Well, it’s like this. We’ve been having an argument in the dorm about IRS. And we’d like for you those soi-disant wits wdio say it stands for I Ruin Salem, but we’re to settle it for us. I think we’re pretty generally agreed that IRS stands for I Re present Salem. Well yes, there are being sensible about this. What we’re arguing about is: To whom do we represent Salem when; or, as Shakespeare so cleverly put it. Arc ' Tls people too? repre sentative one usually thinks of as an ambassador or something—and it’s a self-evuicnt truth that an American amb' ss.-'dor represents America, not in -America, but to other countries. In just the same w-ay we Salemites represent Salem to places like West Point, V. M. I., V. P. I., Citadel, Davidson, Carolina, Stale, Wake Forest, U. Va., Georgia Tech, and so on. But it would be kind of silly to bother representing Salem on Salem campus. Well 1 mean. There are certain areas of be havior which IRS keeps stressing which quite honestly I don’t see the poinf of. In the dining room w-e’re supposed to wait until after the blessing has been said before ; drinking water or nibbling at food land so on. Well after all, w-e’ve usually had a hard day: when we get to the dining room we’re hun gry. And why should we bother to be courteous to the maids or pay attention to others’ needs at the table ? It doesn’t impress anybody when there are only Salemites around. Then they seem to have this idea that we should take the trouble to look neat all the time— to class and at meals, you know. Well now, this is quite impractible —its an awful bother to have to unroll our hair for an eight o’clock class if we don’t have another class until after lunch, say—besides, the curls look so much prettier if we leave the pins in awhile. It takes time and trouble to be beautiful— \vhy waste the glamour on mere girls, for heaven’s sakes ? And it is very altruistic to take the trouble to look neat for the boys our friends are dating. Well you know, I mean. And brother, they seem to think we should exercise discretion in sunbathing and not fling our limbs in wild abandon all over campus. Well after all, Salem is a girl’s school—this is one of the advant ages. It’s not as if there were any boys around. And why should we be lady-like in chapel—y’know, why waste , that voice “ever gentle, soft and low, and excellent thing in a woman” (as Mickey Spillane says.) —that special voice, we keep for 12:14 on Saturday nights — on a chapel program! Well, dear editor, the point of all of this is, as I said before, to whom do we represent Salem when; or, are girls people too ? Yours, etc., Sloppy Jane By Mary Ann Brame It seems that Spring is gettmg a unanimous welcome. Almost everyone has taken a morning constitutional, a noon constitu- tional or an evening constitutional. You needn't say it’s for your health, we know it’s spring fever. This weather affects different people in different ways. It aives some people an uncontrollable desire to play “Red Light” front of Home Church. “One . . . two . . . three . . .fom five Go to the hack of the line, Betsy.” Some vonng men’s fancies are responding appropriately to The season Nan Williams and Betsy Moore now have pin, Ann, Dunn Joyner’s ring evoked a chorus of “Best ViW’ tor her this week, too.

Memorial Hall was really rockin’ Monday when “Little Johnny Jones” let down his hair. Congratulations to Anita Hatcher for being first rimner-np in the Miss Winston-Salem Contest on Saturday night. The one unpleasant feature of the season is the hygiene exam, Next Thursday-don’t forget! Get out those outlines, and get busy! Dr Welch’s mental hygiene class left at 7:00 Wednesday morning to go to Camp Butner to observe mentally retarded children. I’m sure the girls learned a lot from the experience, Is anybody interested in seeing Nothing at All? Don’t laugh -^fiat's the name of one of the shows that the Child Lit. class is going to present in Old Chapel on April 12 (The night before that long-awaited Spring VACATION starts). Nothing at All is going to be a puppet show: The Pig that Did the Jig, a marionette show; and If I Ran The Zoo, a Chinese shadow graph. It sounds like fun, girls! Praise be! The swimming pool is getting a long needed lath. Orange peelings, broken chairs, and slimey green algM are being attacked with a brush—and SOAP yet! It’s begin- aing to look a little more inviting, don’t yon agree? Guess what! Buds are already coming out on some of tk ess timorous trees on campus. That’s a sure sign that home- vork is going to suffer, that aspiring poets are going to trek )ff to muse under some towering oak, and that the juniors vho get cars today won’t have any trouble getting people to go to ride with them—especially if they have convertibles, Beyond The Square By Janet Yarborough Last week 72 African Negros were killed and 184 were wounded k cause they were without passes in front of a police station peaceful!) demonstrating their want of reform against the much hated passes which they had to carry to insure their staying in those areas desig nated for them by the whites. (Later in the week the South Ata government did awaj^ with these passes.) Last week many Negros in southern United States were arrested such reasons as “disturbing the peace” and trespassing because the; were sitting at lunch counters which denied the many service. As see it, the main difference of these two situations is the use of toe This important difference the U. S. State Department probably use for its reason in making a statement on its regret over this use of in South Africa. In its press release, the State Department adniitt that its action was not in line with its policy of non-intei ference other countries’ domestic affairs. (This sort of policy which is tageous for our national interest and disregards any moral implkaW is referred to as an “expedient” policy.) The U. S., in addition, favored the proposal of 28 Asian Ah countries for the Security Council of the United Nations to must a consider the use of violence. ^ The government of the Union of South Africa criticizes the U- S- interfering in its internal affairs and of something like “not fe®®’ the log in our own eye before getting the speck out of our neigbl If we tell someone else how to handle their problems, then they do likewise. ^ Tfi Why then should the State Department issue this release. 1 ficult to say just what the motives were. They could be purely • ’t i'i ones uninfluenced by any other considerations. However it likely that we, in wanting to gain goodwill in Asia and Afrka, to denounce the use of force before Russia could accuse us of cou ancing this sort of thing. By showing its concern, we can demons! to the world as well as to our own citizens that we share a co®® problem of racial discrimination—but force is not the answer to problem.
