Salemite Wishes Salem
A Happy Holiday Season
The Salemite staff wishes you a
Merry Christmas. We wish you
all the brightly wrapped gifts, the
green tree with the colored bulbs,
the good food and joy of the holi
day season.
On November 2i, Legislative
Board met and decided to set up
a book exchange at the end of the
first semester.
A list of books to be used in
all courses will be published in The
Salemite. The book sale will be
in the old Judicial -Board room.
Each girl will set the price of the
books she wishes to sell. Members
of the Legislative Board will be on
hand 'to collect the money from
the sale of the books which will
in turn be refunded to the girl.
At the meeting of Legislative
Board on November 28, it was de
cided to request each faculty mem
ber to present to his class a state
ment concerning his policy regard
ing class attendance at his first
class meeting of the second semes
ter. This will avoid confusion and
vagueness on the part of the stu
dent.
Carroll Roberts, Lucy Lane, and
Evelyn Brown will head a commit
tee for an investigation of the point
system. The committee will in
vestigate how the present point
system is working and determine
whether more points are needed.
On December 4, 1961, Legislative
Board met and discussed the three
meetings that our representatives
have had with the Board of Trus
tees and Faculty Advisory Board.
Questions about the present situ
ation of the drinking rule and the
problems now existing were dis
cussed. Points about the school’s
relationship to the church were
brought out — how Salem and its
standards reflect the Moravian
Church.
The Legislative Board members
who attended these meetings have
written a statement concerning our
drinking policy which will be pre
sented to the Legislative Board
next week.
We also wish, as Dr. Dale H.
Gramley wished in his 1959 Christ
mas card, “ . . . the right words
to express your heart’s apprecia
tion to parents and grandparents,
brothers and sisters, friends and
sweetheart. We wish you in a
word, the warm, cozy feeling that
gifts and presents can bring in
making you realize you are wanted,
and appreciated and loved.
“But more than these, Salem
wishes that the aches you conceal
in your heart may be healed, that
the words you have left unsaid
may be said, and that trouble’s
heavy hand may be stayed from
your life..
“We wish, additionally, that your
understanding may be awakened,
your problems solved, your doubts
examined and resolved. We wish
you greater patience, more toler
ance, the capacity to love your
fellowmen. We wish you self dis
cipline, high standards always,
fidelity to duty.
“And above all, Salem wishes for
you a true understanding of the
Christ in Christmas, for if you can
achieve that, all other things will
follow.”
Letter To
The Editor
Dear Editor,
The Archway would like to an
nounce that articles and art work
are now being collected for the
magazine which will be published
in the spring. The deadline for
contributions is February 5, so
bring your work back with you
after Christmas.
Now is the time to write, rewrite,
or revise that poem, short story, or
essay. Both light and serious works
are acceptable. Book reviews are
also needed. If you have written
a theme for class that is good, turn
it in. We may be able to use it
and would certainly like to con
sider it.
Artists are reminded that only
black, white, and shades of gray
may be used. Be sure that the
idea does not depend on color.
Put all contributions in my box
in Bitting, or give it to me.

Soviets Anxious
For Peace Terms
By Helen John
Last week’s events made it clear that Premier Khrushchev is
engaged in a major peace offensive. The proof of this is the
publication by the Soviet Government of the uncensored text
of an interview with President Kennedy. The interview was
not expected to have great impact on the cold war, but the
allies welcomed the lifting of the curtain of censorship which
has caused such a lack of communication between the United
States and the Soviet Union.
The substance of Mr. Kennedy’s interview with the editor of
the official Soviet Government newspaper Izvestia dealt pri
marily on two main problems: Berlin and nuclear weapons.
Mr. Kennedy told the Eussian readers that they need not
fear an attack from West Germany, for West Germany has a
very small force and no nuclear weapons of its own; further
more the United States will not give nuclear weapons to any
country, and would be reluctant to see West Germany acquire
them. In the United States view, the problem arises from
Kussia’s demand for a “peace treaty” through which Walter
Ulbricht’s East German regime could claim rights to control
allied access to West Berlin. The United States, Mr. Kennedy
said, believes that “an accord which recognizes the interests of
all” in Germany can be achieved.
The problem now is to make sure that, in any treaty
which the Soviet Union reaches with East Germany, the
rights of the other four powers are recognized in Berlin.”
“One of the first things I did on becoming President,” Mr.
Kennedy said, was to commit the United States to an earnest
effort to achieve a satisfactory agreement with the Soviet
Union on cessation of nuclear tests.” These efforts have been
made difficult by Russia’s continued rejection of an inspection
system, and particularly by her resuming of atmospheric tests
in September.
Perhaps more important than the substance of the interview
was the fact that it did take place and was published in full
m Izvestia. The consensus is that there has been an easing of
me crisis atmosphere. While there is no reason to believe the
Russians are ready to yield anything major, they do appear to
be laying the groundwork for negotiations
NEW YORK TIMES, Dec. 3
Thanksgiving
Anticipation
By Lucy Lane
Well, it looks like everybody had
a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation
except the turkeys and U. N. C.
Or can anybody remember as far
back as that Wake Forest game ?
Nobody seems to have forgotten
the fabulous sounding Pierrettes’
trip. “Tales of New York” are
still circulating around the campus.
Bonnie Bean didn’t even have to
go home Thanksgiving—home came
to Winston and brought some very
special company from Pennsyl
vania. And, Bonnie, that’s a mighty
pretty SAE pin you’re wearing.
Sandi Kimbrell had a pretty won
derful Thanksgiving too. Con
gratulations, Sandi! Congratu
lations are also in order for Kathy
Chalk.
It didn’t take Winnie Bath long
to get down to Atlanta from here
Thanksgiving. You could see Win
nie smile SO feet away and who
can blame her I Best Wishes, Win
nie.
Definite signs of the Christmas
spirit are appearing among the
groans and hectic pace of term
papers, lesson plans, and a multi
tude of tests. Somehow these two
weeks seem mighty short and much
too long at the same time.
Tension was forgotten for a little
while this week with the loveliness
of the Candle Tea. The freshmen
got a special treat, as the upper
classmen found time somewhere to
enjoy the beauty of Moravian
Christmas customs.
During the Candle Tea days, the
Square was transformed into a
medieval setting for miracle plays
complete with the traditional
wagons and barkers. The cast of
local grammar school children did
a good job and the costumes were
excellent. Those residents on the
front row of Sisters and South,
masters. His dissertation, on th
“War Years of Pierre Laval” ^
French collaborator with the C ^
mans during World War II, is one-
fourth of the way complete. Be'
sides finishing his dissertation, Mr
Michie must pass a German exan,'
which he will take in March
Dr. Stephen Raine’s most recent
research has been a study of the
narrative technique in Gulliver',
Travels. He considered such ques-
tions as what the function of the
narrator is; who he is; and what
IS revelant to say about him. Dr
Paine says the problem is not in
studying but in understanding after
studying because of the existence
of so many conflicting theories
His main objective has been to try
to unscramble these theories. ^
Dr. Philip Africa has been work
ing on a study of slavery in old
Salem for the past four or five
summers. This study is now com
plete and he hopes to submit it for
publication.
Mr. Thomas Austin is workinc
toward his doctorate. He has been
doing research for a thesis con
cerning p h o s p h o rus compounds
making compounds containing
phosphorus that can be used to
react with metal ions to form new
compounds. One type of phos
phorus compound has in the past
proved to be the best way of
separating uranium from other
metals. Mr. Austin is investigat
ing another type of phosphorus
compound to see if it can be used
to purify metals by taking one
metal in preference to another.

Memories Lead To
Of Christmas Holidays
however, found themselves repeat
ing lines with the actors after the
third day of performance. Ding-
a-ling!
IRS members are working hard
to keep up their Christmas spirit
with the threat of Ohio State bear
ing down upon them. They have
worked hard on plans for the dance
and it promises much fun. Be
sides the fun, what better oppor
tunity can you find to wear that
new cocktail dress?
After the dance, the seniors have
planned something new which
sounds like a wonderful time. They
are inviting all the dancers to a
luscious buffet and open house in
r
f
the Day Student Center. A small
fee is necessary—$1.00 per coupler-
but it’s well worth it from the de
scription of home-made goodies
that I have heard about.
If you want to go home really
ready for Christmas and in the
spirit of the season, don’t miss the
orphanage party. This is a won
derful experience and something
you’ll never forget.
Catherine Parrish was among
those former Salemites who came
from Carolina to Salem this week
end. Most everybody went the
other way. Honestly, some people
