Salem Girls Give Time And Effort To
The Political Party Of Their Choice
By Becky Shell
Salemites have become politically
minded these last weeks. Discus
sions about the strengths and weak
nesses of the candidates and party
platforms dominate the campus. A
girl’s power of persuasion is the
important thing.
Janet Yarborough, who attended
the political convention in Los An
geles this summer, has proudly been
showing a photograph of the N. C.
delegation. Democratic nominee for
governor, Terry Sanford, personally
sent Janet the picture which shows
her seated with the N. C. group in
the Sports’ Arena. Janet had writ
ten to thank Sanford for his get
ting her a ticket to the convention
and he replied with the picture and
a personal letter signed Ferry.

Y Cabinet Introduces Local
Service Projects In Chapel
The Community Service Project
is a new organization at Salem.
This project was created to familia
rize Salemites with the obligations
and privileges they will meet when
they join a community. For several
years groups of Salemites haVe en
joyed visiting and taking presents
to the local orphanage at Christmas
and Easter. The Community Ser
vice Project is an extension of
these groups and will cover six local
organizations.
The Y Cabinet, which is sponsor
ing the Community Service Project,
will present skits and speakers in
chapel on October 13 to explain the
project in greater detail. Each skit
will represent local organizations
which need Salem girls as volunteer
workers.
Sylvia Collins, representing the
Red Shields Girls’ Club, will intro
duce a group of girls doing a tam
bourine dance. She will ask for
Salem volunteers to help with sew
ing, dramatics, baton lessons, danc
ing, and cooking.
Mrs. Specs will head the Christ
mas Cheer Organization, whose
project will be to dress dolls for
Santa. She will need volunteers to
help make clothes and dress 84
dozen dolls.
A skit will be presented for the
Salem Rest Home to ask for a
group of Salem girls to “adopt”
someone at the Rest Home. The
“adopted” lady will receive visits,
birthday cards and Christmas cards
from her group.
Mrs. Wilder of the local Red
Cross will request volunteer work
ers for the Bloodmobile, and Red
Cross clerical work.
Katherine Carpenter will speak
for the YWCA, requesting help
with the local Y-Teens and other
Y activities.
Becky Shell is chairman of the
Community Service Project; Pat
ricia Weathers is her assistant. Mr.
Robert Wendt, S a 1 e m sociology
professor, is the faculty advisor.
Although sociology majors should
be especially interested, all students
are invited to participate in this
worthy project.

Last week Dansalems, Satem’s
dance club, held its annual tryouts
for membership this year. Having
donned black leotards and tights,

being tested for co-ordination,
rhythm, and gracefulness by imitat
ing the old members’ demonstra
tions, twenty-four worthy dancers
were accepted into the club. The
new members are: Beth Norman
Diane Fuller, Jane Hedgepeth.
Carolyn Tyson, Tate Graham, Sis

. Mr. Tom Austin, the newest ad
dition to the chemistry department,
came to Salem from Allied Chemi
cal Company in Mars Town, N. J.,
where he was a research chemist.
He became a teacher because he
likes the working conditions and
atmosphere at a college better than
those in industry.
Arriving at Salem he was very
impressed with the beauty of the
campus and the high academic
standards here. He is enjoying his
first teaching experience and thinks
Salem girls are very much inter
ested in their education. He added,
though, that he thought Salem was
a “well-balanced college with em
phasis on social activities as well
as scholastic.” Mr. Austin especi- i
ally likes the close student-faculty i
relationship. Having done his i
undergraduate study at Lenoir- ;
Rhyne College and his graduate i ;
work at UNC, he is well qualified : j
to weigh the advantages and dis^' i
advantages of a small college ver- ' ^
sus a university. “A larger univer
sity,” he says, “has better facilities,”
but he thinks the facilities at Salem
are excellent for a school its size.
Mr. Austin teaches general chem
istry, physics and physical chemis
try, and likes this combination of
subjects. Laughing, he said, “Since
I don’t have my lectures prepared
for all three classes, I think I have
to work harder than the students.”
He plans to start research work
for his Ph. D. this year at Salem
and will continue studying for
several summers at Carolina.
Mr. Austin and his wife, Wanda,
who was .a teacher in Durham be
fore their marriage, have two child
ren,—a boy twenty months old and
a girl two months old. Both he
and his wife are native North Caro
linians and are “mighty glad to be
back in North Carolina.” They like
living in Winston-Salem and have
just bought a house on Longfellow
Street.
Salem is glad to have Mr. Austin
in the Science Department!
