Tuition Rises For
Coming School Year
Under the present system the state
approves and certifies each candi
date directly.
The function of the Evaluation
Committee will be to receive re
ports from colleges desiring ap
proval under the new plan, to ap
praise the institutions and to make
recommendations to the State Board
of Education concerning the col
leges. All colleges that wish to
offer teacher education in North
Carolina will have to be approved
by the Evaluation Committee by
1966.
The Committee is composed of
both lay and professional people
involved in all levels of education,
i. e., industrial leaders, P T A mem
bers, public teachers, professors of
education, etc. Both Negro and
white schools are represented. Of
the 24 members on the committee,
four are women.
The Salem College faculty voted
Tuesday to make preliminary ap
plication to the State Board of
Education to adopt the new in
stitutional approach toward teacher
education.
Becky Newsome
BeckyNewsome
National Rose
Becky Newsome was notified
June 25, 1962, that she had been
selected as the national rose of Pi
Kappa Phi. A day student, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Newsome of North Stratford
Road, Winston-Salem, Becky placed
fourth in the national competition
the year before. Pinned to Bill
Clingman, a Pi Kappa Pi at David
son, she was elected as the Rose
of that fraternity. “Every year,”
she said, “each fraternity elects
its Rose and then sends her picture
to the national headquarters. These
pictures are sent to a board of
of the girls are then ranked in
order below that.”
One of the pleasing duties of her
position was the opportunity to at
tend the national convention of
Pi Kappa Phi held last summer in
Lansing, Michigan. Here she was
presented to all the fraternity broth
ers that she represented. “It was
one of the proudest moments of
my life,” she said. While at the
convention, she was given a silver
tray as a lasting memento of her
honor.
Beginning with the first semester
of the academic year 1963-64, tui
tion will be raised for the first
time in four years. The tuition
will be raised from $300 to $425
per semester or $600 to $850 per
year. This increases fees from
$1850 to $2100 per year which is
about $9 per day. Of course, the
Board of Trustees cannot give any
definite number of years before an
other increase must be made, but
it is felt, after careful study, that
the raise of $250 will provide the
necessary additional means for the
next few years.
Salem does not want to raise the
Professors Will
Take Leave
Two of Salem’s instructors will
be on leave of absence second se
mester.
Mr. Wilmer D. Sanders is going
to the University of Indiana where
he will complete his dissertation.
Mrs. Peter Schmidt will teach Mr.
Sanders’ classes. She is from
Zanesville, Ohio, and she attended
Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo
Michigan, where she received her
BA degree. She received an award
for graduate study and attended
the University of Bonn in Ger
many. Her husband is a graduate
student at Wake Forest.
Mrs. Fby Chandler Honeycutt
will be replaced by Mrs. Pauline
Stewart, a former faculty member
at Salem in the Home Economics
Department. Mrs. Honeycutt is on
maternity leave.
NOTICES
If enough students are interested,
the library will be open Saturday
evening, January 19th, from 7-10
p. m. Please express your interest
in this proposal to the librarian.
tuition, but the Board of Trustees
feels that in order to continue the
quality of education that it now
provides and improve what it al
ready has, fees must be increased.
This raise is necessary to increase
faculty and staff salaries. Schools
throughout the country are in
creasing salaries thus providing
competition that Salem must meet
in order to keep the good teachers
that it has and to attract the best
replacements; therefore these sal
aries have to be raised. Just as
the tuition raise of fours years ago
was used up gradually, all of the
raise in tuition will not be spent
immediately but will be managed so
that faculty salaries can be in
creased somewhat each year as has
been the custom since Dr. Dale
Gramley has been president.
The Board of Trustees has an
nounced to present students that
Dr. Gramley would welcome any
written application for scholarship
aid, if the increased fees will pro
duce hardships on the parents or
the student’s continued education at
Salem. All applications will be
carefully discussed and considered.
The Board of Trustees feels that
anyone who is presently at Salem
with scholarship aid could not pos
sibly continue her education unless
the amount of the scholarship is
raised. Therefore an increase of
$250 will be added to all scholar-
hips in order to compensate for the
aise of the same amount.
Mrs. Florence Wyatt Sparger, a
member of the Class of 1912, has
bequeathed to Salem a household
of antique furniture. The various
articles will be placed in appro
priate places on campus.
Salem Receives
ECC Art Show
A new show of student art work
from East Carolina College will
go on exhibit in Main Hall by the
end of this week. The fifteen oil
paintings, replacing works by stud
ents of Design 100, will be on dis
play until the end of the month.
The show was put together from
student works selected by East
Carolina faculty members and is
now circulating around North Caro
lina. According to Mr. David
Wurtzel, Salem art instructor, the
paintings show “remarkably differ
ent tendencies.” East Carolina’s
art department is one of the largest
and best-equipped in the state.
Humanities
Gives Talk
Administration — faculty — stud
ents — what are their spheres of
influence and their conflicts ? A
discussion of these three branches
of authority at Salem College will
be presented at the next Humani
ties Club meeting on January 15.
The discussion will include a sum
mary of the duties of each branch
delivered by three representatives.
Also, an interchange of views of
the social, academic, and extracur
ricular aspects of this college will
be given by a faculty member and
interested students. This will be
divided into five parts: (1) Insti
tutional Paternalism and Its Im
pact Upon the Student, (2) Student
Involvement in Policy Formation,
(3) Administrative Involvement in
Extra-curricular Policy Formation
such as FITS, (4) Faculty-Stu-
ent Relations at Salem, (5) Conflict
and Tension on the Campus.
Everyone is invited to attend this
discussion at 6:30 in the Day Stu
dent Center.
