L March 18, 1961 THE SALEMITE Page Three Letters Continued freshmen, sophomores, and juniors would help work on these projects. 7. Professors are always calling on students to donate use of their cars for art field trips, sociology work, plays, and other activities. It is almost impossible to get the school station wagons without going through inconvenient red tape, and the station wagons are usually being used anyway. 8. It would be nice to be able to occasionally take a leisurely drive to church on Sunday instead of always having to ride the bus. ; 9. Being able to drive in town or to have cars would be more con venient for the students and their parents who live near Winston- Salem. It would save a lot of money for those who live in far away states such as New York or Florida. 10. Being able to drive might help in luring potential transfers to Salem from other schools. It would definitely help keep Salem- ites from transferring to Carolina, and other schools where they can have their own cars. Most of the girls who transfer say they do so not because of the work but be cause of Salem’s trivial social rules, such as not being able to drive a car in town unless your parents are here. 11. Salem finally has permitted us to drive in town only if our parents are here. Salem Academy students have had this rule for years. A college student should be a lot less restricted than a pre paratory school student. 12. A student leaves high school and civilization where the law says that a student can drive a car at the age of sixteen (in N. C.) and comes to Salem and REgresses, not PROgresses. 13. In her speech Sallie Paxton said that we must get out Beyond the Square. Cars would enable us to do this. Often the reason peo ple don’t go to Wake Forest lec tures is the transportation problem. It costs too much to get a cab to Wake Forest and after the concert or lecture there is a long wait for the cab to pick you up. 14. When tension builds up over studies, a car would be good to have to get out and away from Salem. 15. Nineteen seniors made Dean’s List last semester, and they are able to have cars. This will weed out the irresponsible. 16. Two possible restrictions on having cars would be to require parents permission and/or a certain quality point average. These are our reasons. What do you think ? Are you interested in drawing up a petition ? What points would you like to have in the petition? Don’t be BLAND!! Get to work! Prove that you want to change thi^s rule !! Sincerely, Caroline McClain F'rances Taylor Molly Scarborough Pat Howell Susan Wainwright Agnes Smith Winnie Bath Tina Thrower Anne Morrison Linda Smith Lynn Robertson Nancy McCoy Judy Coston Joy Robinson Ann Sellars Dot Grayson Salemite Complimented Dear Editor and Staff, In last week’s Salemite, the Legislative Board received much praise from students over our new election procedure. Yet much of the praise should go to you and your staff. Without your coopera tion and extra hours of work to ward informing the student body about the procedure and the candi dates, the new system wouldn’t have been half so successful. I am sure that the Legislative Board and the rest of the student body join with me in saying “well done” to your and your staff. Gratefully, Nina Ann Stokes Campus Beautified Dear Editor; Wonder what the freshmen’s parents saw at Salem when they came for 'Parents Day? Their daughters, of course, (but they had seen them at home for seventeen years), more freshmen, faculty members, and upperclassmen, (but there are freshmen, faculty mem bers, and upperclassmen on other college campuses). Some things they could not have missed—the narrow, reddish Mo ravian buildings around the square, the sloping terrain ribboned With worn brick walks, the spreading oak by the refectory, the green ivy on the science building, and the dark-massed ivy on the wall around the pool. We, too, saw the campus that weekend, after watching the earlier weeks of work with spade and clippers. After trees were pruned, limbs collected from the ground, flower borders spaded, fountains painted and water turned on, walks swept, and dorms tidied . . . after ever so many other things were done which we were or were not aware of, the parents came. No one could help noticing the total effect—a beautiful Salem. Now the plot beside Clewell is becoming grassy, the flowering trees are bursting with color from Main Hall to the Refectory, and purple and yellow crocuses are dot ting the Strong-Babcock lawn. Now we must say what we feel all year long. To those people who have helped to provide the finest setting for Old Salem, and to those Salem employees, administrators, friends, and students who are car ing for the beauty that is around us, this Salem girl, and I am sure other Salem girls, would like to say thank you. Sincerely, Libbie Hatley Battle Gives Play, March 23 Christ in the Concrete City will be presented in assembly on March 23. ’ This Pierrette production was presented last week at the Home Moravian Church and at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. These perform ances were applauded by the audi ences and the press. The Salemites themselves will now have an op portunity to see Miss Battle and her cast. The cast for Christ in the Con crete City is made up of Peggy Brown, Sue Sample, Nina Ann Stokes, Calvin Hampton, John Smith, and B. L. Woodfin.
