Winston-Salem Moravians
Hold Semi-Annual Meeting
EDITORIAL
“Music: An Aid to Worship,”
\vas the theme of Dr. G. Wallace
Wrodworth as he lectured Friday,
October 5th, in Little Chapel before
the Friends of the Moravian Music
Foundation. Dr. Wrodworth em
phasized in his lecture the real
philosophy of church music, “not to
entertain, not to show off the choir”
but, to help each participant to a
state of true devotion. Other fea
tures of the foundation’s third semi
annual meeting were a half-hour
concert by fifteen members of the
Winston-Salem Symphony, the pre
sentation of the Moramus Award
for distinguished service to Ameri
can music, and a social hour open
Jack Armstrong
Has Male Lead
In "Little Mary”
By Betsy Hatton
“All together now!” shrieks Miss
Battle, as the eight male cast mem
bers of Little Mary Sunshine file
onto the stage. When Jack Arm
strong, the male lead, steps for
ward to begin his solo, his por
trayal of Captain Jim, leader of the
Forest Rangers, takes shape.
A native of Winston-Salem, Jack
Armstrong spent his earlier years
in Raleigh where he graduated from
high school. He then returned to
Winston-Salem and attended High
Point College. He began his stage
career in the Armed Forces, in
which he was a member of the
special services.
Since his i-eturn to Winston, Jack
has had a varied and interesting
business career. He now fits con
tact lenses for the Galeski Company
and last year he bought the Rath-
skellar. In addition to these busi
ness ventures, Jack is a member of
the Board of Trustees of the W-S
Little Theatre. He has appeared
in Teahouse of the August Moon
and Roberta there and was stage
manager for The Desperate Hours
He played the leading role opposite
Miss Battle in Anything Goes.
Through this connection he is now
at Salem playing the male lead in
Little Mary.
Jack finds this new experience of
working in a girls’ school a “little
awkward but very interesting.”

to the public.
Friday night’s program opened
with two pieces by the symphony
chamber group conducted by John
luele. One of the compositions by
John Frederick Peter, a Moravian
composer, was their first presenta
tion. This was followed by Hay
den’s “Symphony in F Major,”
especially interesting because the
only complete manuscript for the
work was copied by John Frederick
Peter and is owned by the Win
ston-Salem Moravian Archives.
Following his lecture. Dr. Wrod
worth was presented the third an
nual Moramus Award granted by
the Moravian Music Foundation.
The award is conferred only on
scholars who have made significant
contributions to the American musi
cal scene. Dr. Wrodworth, a James
Edward Ditson Professor of Music
at Harvard University, was cited as
follows:
‘By your rare blend of musical
competence, inspiration, dedication,
and geniality you have endeared
yourself to thousands of students
and audiences in your thirty-seven
years as conductor and professor at
Harvard University. Certainly, your
influence has extended far beyond
the Yard, and the appreciation and
understanding of music in America
is richer for your vital role in per
formance and teaching. The Morav
ians, too, have felt your influence
in many ways, especially by your
advice as Educational Consultant to
The Foundation, and for this we
are profoundly grateful.”
The Friends of The Moravian
Music Foundation is a national
organization devoted to promoting
interest in, and appreciation for the
research, publications, and educa
tional activities of The Moravian
Music Foundation.
Should Salem remain a member of the Na
tional Student Association! The pros and
eons of this question need to be discussed on
the campus. NSA offers many activities; we
accept none. It is our only connection to,other
colleges; we do not take advantage of this
suggested affiliation. Carolina is very active;
we are not. Carolina has 10,000 students;
Salem has 500—does size make a difference?
Two years ago Nhtional Student Association
was thoroughly investigated regarding its im
portance to our particular campus. Everyone
was enthusiastic for a day or two; this en
thusiasm waned. Is there a necessity to re
charge this wavering spontaneity? The stu
dent body voted to continue participation in
the organization because of the services NSA
offers. We question Salem’s use of NSA since
that re-evaluation.
It is true that NSA can suggest speakers
for various organizations; when has Salem
used these speakers? In fact, when has Salem
used any of the “many things” NSA offers?
And what are the “many things?” A volume
of miscellaneous mail is sent to the NSA Co
ordinator, the president of Stee Gee, and the
Editor of the Salemite. We suggest that this
mail has little or no value to Salem. Perhaps
the actual contents are informative, but the
sheer bulk causes it to be ignored.
We are not attempting to judge NSA’s value
to larger or more extensive univei'sities and
colleges; we believe, however, that to Salem,
its value must be more thoroughly examined
before we enthusiastically agree to support it.
Several goals of NSA include providing in
formation on: “civil rights, civil liberities,
nuclear testing and the cold war, curricula,
federal aid to higher education, education in
slums, etc.” (letter from NSA National Affairs
Vice-President, Timothy A. Manring). These
ideals are fine; is Salem interested? By its
complexion, that of a small, conservative, girls’
school, Salem tends to be less enthusiastic and
less able to “jump on the bandwagon” for cur
rent issues than other colleges.
The weakness perhaps lies on our campus;
the problem of communication here is not a -
new one but is nevertheless difficult. When
Salem girls do not willingly support and at
tend recitals, lecture series, and many organi
zational activities, why should- we expect them
to be vitally interested in correspondence from
NSA?
The student government and student body
should carefully examine the value of NSA.
Remember that its worth must be relative to
Salem College. Unless the students genuinely
believe that the majority of the students ai’e
and will be interested, we recommend complete
withdrawal from National Student Associa
tion.

Salemites Display Lab,
Paintings At Dixie Fair
Salem’s booth at the Dixie Classic
Fair this week was attended by
several Salemites along with Salem
alumnae volunteers. Relieving the
alumnae who worked from 11 a.m.
until 4 p.m., Salem representatives
gave out information concerning
Salem and demonstrated the lang
uage lab. unit each night from 4
p.m. until 9 p.m. Among the Salem
students who worked in the booth
were: Sue Cook, Tuesday; Becky
Matthews and Daphne Dukate,
Wednesday; Ann Fields and Char
lotte Carter, Thursday. Annette
Jennette and Jane Hedgpeth will
present the demonstration tonight.
Mrs. Mock, director of publicity
of Salem College, has announced
that two ^ of the new pictures now
in the club room of the refectory
are presently being displayed at
Salem’s booth at the Dixie Classic
Fair. One picture, a thirty by forty
inch sepia print, shows Salem girls
going to lunch on a rainy day. The
other picture, also a sepia print,
shows Reverend Walser Allen con
ducting an outdoor class. A walnut
frame matching the frames of the
pictures has been placed around a
bulletin board with current events
of Salem posted on it. These pic
tures add much to the booth and
give an excellent portrayal of Salem
College.

extra money.
Students who want jobs fill out
“pink sheets” or Applications for
Paid Student Work in the spring.
These jobs, which range from $.60
to $1.25 an hour depending on the
skill and experience required, us
ually entail working for a block of
tirrle from two to four hours. They
often demand that girls work at
nights and on weekends, too.
Freshmen may obtain jobs, if any
are available, by securing an appli
cation form in the Recorder’s Of
fice, filling out and returning it to
Miss Simpson or someone in the
Recorder’s Office. Freshmen, how
ever, cannot work more than four

in Babcock or Clewell, assisting in
biology or chemistry laboratories,
being assistants to student nurses,
helping in the stockrooms in the
Science Building, typing, tutoring,
working in the Vocational Office,
and doing miscellaneous work.
Helping in the Alumnae Office or
Admissions Office during their busy
times of the year and working for
faculty members or departments are
several jobs which come under the
heading of “miscellaneous jobs.” As
helpers in departments, students
perform such tasks as cleaning and
sorting slides (Science Building),
assisting Mr. Curlee and Mr. Smith

pictures for exhibits and sorting
slides (Art Department). Two girls

Y Will Present
Guthrie At
Special Program
Does Communism offer bigger
bonuses today to the people of the
world than Christianity does ? This
question will be among the many
challenges that the Reverend David,
K. Guthrie will accept and discuss
in his talk on “Christianity and
Communism” next Wednesday
night. The discussion is the first
of the YWCA’s special programs
this year and will be held October
17 at 6:30 in the Day Student Cen
ter.
Mr. Guthrie, presently the asso
ciate rector at Holy Trinity Episco
pal Church in Greensboro, was once
a teacher at Sewanee. He is fami
liar with college students and their
questions and is well-suited to lead
a stimulating discussion on this im
portant topic.
