'Crisis’ Review Con’t nearly fight is not convincing enough to overshadow his former boredom with Paine’s firey prin ciples which he has repeated with the conviction of a toothpaste com mercial. The production’s scenery is the same for all three acts and is an effectively drab and casual back ground for a rehearsal. The light ing gives subtle spotlight to the main action and slightly shadows the parts of the stage used to sub ordinate action so that the scenes are well deferentiated. The con- I stant smoking appears to be a crutch for the cast sometimes, but it also serves to give the rehearsal reality and to show the nervous strain under which the actors work. I Crisis is an interesting experi ment in the art of drama, a well- unified play with a significant con flict. Though the production drags and is repetitious in places, and though the triumph of Jack is not as strong as it could be, the pro duction as a whole is worth the work which has gone into it and I is certainly worth seeing. OnCanps Mth {Author of “I Was a Teen-age Dwarf’, “The Marty Loves of Dobie Gillis’’, etc.) UNITED WE STAND The entire academic world is agog over the success of the Associated Colleges Plan—ACP, for short. I mean, you go to any campus in the country these days and you will see students and faculty dancing on the green, blowing penny whistles, grabbing each other by the elbows and yelling, “About that ACP, Charley—like wow!” And who can blame them? The ACP is a plan not only simply brilliant, but also brilliantly simple. All it is, is a loose regional federation of small colleges. Let’s say, for example, that in a given region we have a group of small colleges, each with its own academic specialty. Small College No. 1, let’s say, has a fine language department; Small College No. 2, let’s say, has a fine science department; No. 3 has a fine music department; etc., etc. Well sir, under the ACP these various colleges federate. A student in any one of the colleges can take courses in the spe cialty of any of the other colleges and—here’s the beauty part! —he will receive credit for the course at his home college. Thus he enjoys all the advantages of a big university without losing the comfy coziness of a small college! W'cll sir, you can see w'hat a good idea the ACP is. I respect fully submit, however, that just because a thing is good is no reason not to try to make it better. Like, for instance, Marlboro Cigarettes. Marlboros were good from the very beginning, and people found out quickly and sales zoomed. But did the makers of Marlboro say, “Okay, we’ve got it made. Let’s relax”? W’dl sir, if that’s wLat you think, you don’t know the makers! They did not relax. They took their good Marlboros and kept improving them. They improved the filter, improved the blend, im])roved the pack. They researched and developed tirelessly, until today Marlboro is just about the most admirable cigarette you can put a match to. There are, in fact, some people who find Marlboros so admirable they can’t bear to put a match to them. They just sit with a single Marlboro in hand and admire it for ten, twelve years on end. The makers of Marlboro are of course deeply touched by this—except for E. Rennie Sigafoos, the sales manager. But I digress. The ACP, I say, is good but it can be better. W’hy should the plan be confined to small colleges? Why should it be confined to a limited region? WJiy not include all colleges and universities, big and small, wherever they are? Let’s start such a federation. Let’s call it the “Bigger Asso ciated Colleges To Encourage Richer Intellectual Activity”— BACTERIA, for short! WTiat a bright new world BACTERIA opens up. Take, for example, a typical college student—Hunrath Sigafoos (son, incidentally, of the Marlboro sales manager). Hunrath, a bright lad, is currently majoring in burley at the University of Ken tucky. Under the BACTERIA plan, Hunrath could stay at Kentucky, where he has made many friends, but at the same time broaden his vistas by taking a course in constitutional law at Harvard, a course in physics at Caltech, a course in frostbite at Minnesota and a course in poi at Hawaii! I admit there are still a few bugs in BACTERIA. How, for instance, could Hunrath attend a 9 o’clock class at Harvard, a 10 o’clock class at Hawaii, an 11 o’clock class at Minnesota, and still keep his lunch date at Kentucky? It would be idle to deny that this is a tricky problem, but I have no doubt American ingenuity will carry the day. Always remember how they laughed at Edison and Fulton—and particularly at Walter Clavicle who invented the collarbone. 4 # # C* 1063 Max ShuImMi Three cheers tor American ingenuity, which gave us the ACP, the collarbone and MGM... that’s the Mighty Good Makin’s you get in Marlboro, the filter cigarette with the un- fUtered taste. Settle back and enjoy one. You get a lot to like. THE SALEMITE Mrs. Snow, Advantage By Heather Peebles Mrs. Robert H. Snow, the head of the Home Economics Depart ment, attended Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina. She received her B.S. and M. Ed. degrees there. Cornell and New York were the universities she at tended for her summer study. Mrs. Snow has taught at Salem for seven years. “Salem is unique,” she said. “The size of the school makes it advantageous to teach home economics No one phase of this subject is more important than another,” she stated. Home economics requires time to develop concepts. Mrs. Snow feels that it is not good to merely stress cook ing. Cooking is important, but its importance is in its relationship with other fields of home manage ment. She feels an over-all knowl edge and association is necessary. “Home economics has depth,” said Mrs. Snow. “The amount of knowledge that a student can ab sorb and understand determines how far she can go. There are many jobs available.” Mrs. Snow stated, “The focus in the future will be that people can go into jobs almost unheard of because they can give service. Where there is a family, there is a service a home economist can perform. Often it depends on what an in dividual can sell, what she ‘has on the ball’ that will determine the service she can render,” she said. “The future will bring more and more free-lance operation in home economics.” Mrs. Snow also explained that today there is as much stress on production and doing as there is on buying. Students in home eco nomics can now learn how to com pare materials and textures for purchasing purposes. “Time man agement” is very important, she said. An illustration given is, if a per son wanted to have some pastry for dinner, there are several ways she can satisfy this desire. If the home-maker had a lot of time, she could make her own crust. If less time were available, she could buy packaged graham cracker crust. If she were especially busy she could buy a ready-made pie. “The home economics department will not April 13, 1962 Dept. Head, Stresses Of Home Economics Mrs. Snow measures ingredients—a sign of a good cook. make decisions or pass judgments,” she said. “It will help the students becorpe acquainted with the many and varied methods. Home econo mists study every aspect of home life, from the kitchen to the family and from the family to the com munity.” Mrs. Snow particularly enjoys teaching her senior seminar. This course is set up to relate, tie to gether, and focus on home eco nomics and its relationship to other courses and subjects. Mrs. Snow said, “I do not think Home Eco nomics will save the world—nor will English or history; but, a com bination in all areas will improve most situations.” She also feels that there is not one subject in college that will prepare a student for life. “College is a foundation from which a continuing process of learning is developed.” Mrs. Snow GIRLS: MR.
