February 24, 19f^i The WRA Initiates New Programs For Spring In Spite Of Rainy Weather, Salem Campus Hums With Activity Salem has a what? A jump- jump? Yes! Salem is the proud possessor of a new trampoline. The WRA announces that every Wednesday afternoon from 4:30 to 6:00 students can go to the gym and bounce to their hearts’ content. Miss Owens, Miss Woodard, and the trampoline class are there to help you and to demonstrate vari ous stunts. So even if you’ve never been on a trampoline before, come Follow Rules For Assembly Announcement In order to eliminate some of the confusion concerning an nouncements in assembly, the as sembly committee has set up the following procedure: 1. Announcements to be made should concern all of the stu dent body — for example, de nominational meetings which are open to all students. Meet ings which are limited to a certain group (i.e. council meetings, etc.) should be posted in the Refectory. Class meetings announcements may be made in assembly. 2. Make announcements brief and to the point. 3. When there is a guest or an outside speaker, all announce ments will be made by the presiding officer. 4. All announcements are to be turned in by 5:00 the day (Mon. and Wed.) before as sembly in the Student Govern ment petition box in Main Hall, next to the bulletin board. Announcements should be written out in full when there will be a guest speaker; for other assemblies, a cara may state the organization or person making the announce ment. The Assembly Committee feels that this procedure’ would eliminate some of the confusion in the back of Memorial Hall before assembly begins. Also, when there are guest speakers, it is sometimes necessary to limit the announcements. The Committee also feels that organi zations usually know before as sembly time that they have a plan ned meeting open to the Student Body. In case of unexpected, emergency meetings, please turn announcements in to the Chief marshal before assembly begins. If you have any suggestions or questions, please see me.

Friday afternoon from 4:30 to 6:00 the gym is reserved for the faculty, but students are invited too. Should be something to see the faculty on the trampoline I The ping-pong tournament will begin during the second week in March. Sign-up sheets will be posted in the dorms next week. All you ping-pong experts (and even those of you who aren’t) be sure to sign up. The WRA also sponsors bowling and horseback riding. There has been some misunderstanding con cerning these activities and Katie Kochtitzky, president of WRA, would like to clarify them: The WRA will pay for the use of the station wagon to and from the alley or stable, but will not pay for gas for private cars, for the in dividual games, or the riding fee. Susan Wainwright is in charge of horseback riding and would like to hear from those interested so she can arrange a schedule. The WRA has been thinking about a riding breakfast on Sunday morn ing with plans to be back on cam pus in time for church. All you horsewomen on campus please let Katie or Susan know what you think of the idea. Katie also announces that the gym will be open on Saturday afternoons from 2 :00 to S :00. The WRA announces its activi ties in assembly, through the Salemite, and by posters in the dorms and the dining room. It is up to the student body to take advantage of the wonderful oppor tunities offered. So if you want to jump-jump, enter a tournament, go bowling or horseback riding, play basketball, volleyball, badminton, or hockey, join a fencing club, or whatever—become an active mem ber of WRA. By Rooney Nelson Tripping lightly over the fact that it has been raining here for the past five days and thus the Lily Pond Committee has not been able to hold its regular meetings (no offense!), there has still been rnuch action on and around the Salem campus. First ahd foremost in the news this week was the engagement of Dr. Stuart and Mr. Hill. A sum mer wedding is planned. This goes to show that you can still get your ring after you graduate from col lege !! This has also demonstrated that obtaining engagement rings is not a prerogative for the students on the Salem campus. Mr. Camp bell, you are next! The campus was vacated again the past weekend when Salemites descended en masse to Carolina. Chuck Berry was in rare form this weekend and there has been much talk about champagne parties plus cocktail parties, especially among a few, at the Phi Gam House. Dances like UT, red neck, and twist were Salem Students App earInMarch "Mademoiselle” Any day now Jette Seear and six other campus lovelies will ap pear in the March issue of Made moiselle, bringing national recog nition to Salem College. According to Jette, the magazine should be released about ten days before the first of the month. Pictures of Gay Austin, Ava Camp, Diane Fuller, Mary Jane Harrell, Alice Huss, Jette Seear, and Ann West, taken mostly in black and white, will cover several pages. Each girl’s photograph will be ac companied by a short paragraph telling where she is from, what she is majoring in, what year she plans to graduate, her plans for the future, and her opinion of the dress she is modeling. In addition, there will be a small article about Salem College based on the theme of a “typical small Southern school.’’ Jette Seear will also appear in a full page advertisement in an April issue of Life and a May issue of Look. She will be shown in a sleek lounging outfit holding a Sia mese cat. This campus beauty has also been modeling in person. In a fashion show last week, she was a bride for Thalhimers. Said Jette shyly, “It was good practice for June 24!’’ extremely popular this weekend, and thus the two Anne Austins and Anne Dudley have been in great demand due to their proficiency m this art. Most girls would take offense at dates announcing their arrival by blowing their horns, but who could complain about the door-to-door service that two of our Salemites received last Thursday night ? The “traffic jam” on Saturday is no surprise, but you must, admit that it is seldom that one finds a car plus boys nonchalently parked on the area between Clewell and Bab cock. But, wait! There was a type of traffic jam in Babcock Basement when fifteen Kappa Sig pledges arrived Friday night to procure some unmentionables from some of the State fan club. Along with this paraphenalia went a photo of Martha Still giving an affectionate gesture to one of the pledges. In cidentally, the Babcock sampler has been returned, and the home front is restored to normalcy. Abbie Suddath was dismayed to hear that she was nominated for editor of Sights and Insights for next year. She said thanks, but one year was enough! Judy Moore, Pinky Saunders and Craig White spent an agoniz’ ing fifteen minutes Tuesday night before they came on TV. The Weather and Sports Newscasts finally became “State and Local New=”—and there were the. three Salemites serving coffee to the delegates to the N. C. Education Association! Dr. White adds one more exam blooper: “Milton thought that men ought to offer unmedicated praise to God.” Ann Heath was pinned to a Phi Kap at State and Jerene Fuller is expecting a diamond soon. Soon the number of engaged freshmen will outnumber that of the seniors! Much excitement in South last weekend due to Bill’s arrival from Canada to visit Sally Paxton. I understand S h e e n a Warren and Beth Troy were sick, sick, sick! Let it never be said that rain dampened activity on Salem cam pus ! Library Adds "The Nephew” The Nephew, by James Purdy, which has been recently added to the Browsing Room, gives us an authentic picture of small town life in the Midwest. It also introduces us to most of the inhabitants of Rainbow Center and reveals some disturbing inferences to things which one would never dream could happen in this sleepy little town which is permeated with the pun gent odor of tomato ketchup, a constant reminder to the town of its only cash industry. The plot, mostly a contrivance to acquaint us with a bevy of ‘characters’, is centered around Aunt Alma, retired school teacher. She lives with her widower brother Boyd, and with the memory of their beloved nephew Cliff, re cently reported missing in action by the army. Restless, and need ing to relieve her emotional stress. Aunt Alma decides to write a “me morial” of her nephew’s short, but seemingly happy life. Her investi gation brings her into contact with many of her aging and eccentric contemporaries. It also instructs her in the facts of life, some o! which she did not know, as she puts it “at my age, too.” The author is a new writer from Ohio and shows remarkable sensi tivity and compassion for the per sonalities and problems of his characters. . He sympathizes with their lonely lives in a town that has failed to grow and attract young people who would bring in new ideas and more modern ways of life. ^Never does he display a disdainful or haughty attitude as if to say ‘why don’t you change your ways.’ He knows and under stands why, but this does not often prevent him from seeing the natural humor in their limited per sonalities. Mr. Purdy’s writing is art, and his personalities are unique; how ever, the theme and the signifi cance of his story may leave some thing to be desired. This writer should be watched for future de velopment while we appreciate his sincere and unusual works thus far. PAY A LITTLE MORE . . . LOOK MUCH BETTER For finest quality beauty work . . .
