[ February 24, 1961 THE SALEMITE Page Three Mrs. Mock Directs Public Relations And Writes Full -Time NSA Committee U rges More Student Interest The new NSA committee met on Wednesday, February 21, to dis cuss its duties and plans for action. It is hoped that by distributing the work and arousing enthusiasm among students, NSA will become an effective organization on the Salem campus. The committee it self hopes to act as a co-ordinator among organizations at Salem and as a promoter for their projects as well as for its own. Dean Major, NSA Co-ordinator, will continue to receive and to answer correspondence received from other colleges and organiza tions. Linda Leaird, Y-representa- tive to the committee, will be in charge of bulletin boards and dis plays for NSA. Becky Chappell, IRS representative, will be respon sible for stimulating interest in and making information available on the exciting travel programs of fered by NSA. Judy Summerell, NSA reporter, will maintain con tact with the students through the Salemite in order that the campus may be aware of the plans of NSA. A World University Service worker spoke last week to the NSA committee and representa tives of the Y about making con tacts with foreign students and bringing in foreign refugee stu dents. She encouraged investiga tion of these fields, and the NSA committee has already begun to work on such ideas. It is the plan of the committee to decide upon a I specific area to which the money raised by the annual Y auction for the World University Service will be sent and to establish personal contacts with students there. The feeling is that “pen-pals” and pic tures will arouse greater interest. Bringing its plans down to the local level of interest, the NSA committee has begun to work on exchange or joint programs among Salem, Winston-Salem Teachers' College, and Wake Forest. A meet ing of members of each campus will be held soon to take definite steps toward this. Several conferences which are being planned now have come to the attention of the committee. One is the National Youth Con ference on Youth Service Abroad to be held in Washington, D. C., during spring vacation. Another is the NSA Congress which will meet next summer and to which Salem hopes to send delegates. There are difficulties involved in plans for both of these. The third confer- ance is the International Relations Seminar sponsored by NSA next summer. Applications for this are available now and must be returned by April 1, 1961. Students are urged to apply for scholarships to the Seminar. Each member of the NSA com mittee is enthusiastic about the plans which have been made. Only if Salem students themselves show interest in its program. and con cern for other students involved in the national implications of the program of NSA, however, can the committee make that program ef fective on the Salem campus. By Nikki Althouse Mrs. Esther Vern Mock, head of Salem’s Public Relations, is the possessor of what most women would consider four full-time occu pations. As Public Relations Direc tor here, she claims there could be “no better kind of job.” She en joys being given her material and the freedom to do with it as she thinks best. Mrs. Mock is from La Junta, a small town on the Colorado prai ries, where she and her family lived until they moved to Denver. She majored in English at the Univer sity of Colorado, where she met commercial artist Vern Mock and married him in 1935. They have four sons, Michael, 20; Eric, 18; John, 15; and Douglas, 13. Mich ael is a senior majoring in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Eric, a sophomore, is taking pre-law at Duke; John and Douglas attend school in Winston- Salem. A one-man art exhibition by Mr. Mock is currently being presented at the Community Center gallery. Mrs. Mock states happily that she has been “writing away ever since college.” She wrote a column entitled “Coffee Break” for a Con necticut newspaper, and has since written a column of the same name i for the Twin City Sentinel. When Mrs. Mock her husband’s work took him to New York City, Mrs. Mock wrote the celebrated “Talk of the Town” column of the New Yorker maga zine. She is currently working on two books, one of which. Four of a Kind, concerns life in New York. Her other book. The Gentle Vio lation, is a novel. In her spare time (spare time?). Mrs. Mock enjoys playing the piano. In her attractive office, which is situated next to the faculty lounge in the basement of Main Hall, Mrs. Mock has had ample opportunity to observe and absorb Salem’s spirit. She feels that Salem, as other small colleges, “faces prob lems of setting goals high enough, being satisfied with mediocrity.” Notice Nominations for president of the Day Students and editor of The Archway have not been completed and will appear in next week’' Salemite, PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS MORRIS SERVICE N*«t %• Carolina Thaatre « « « * ■wiwidiM - Sslftds • Sodar **Th« Place Where Salemite* Meet” Want To Qo When Too Want To Qo Phmie Pa X-nXl hs whafs up front that counts iFILTER-BLENPlgives you the real flavor you want in a cigarette.
