and will be taught by several

choric speaking which has been
part of Children’s Literature, and
tw'o hours of health education. The
remaining five hours of the spring
block consist of an entirely new
course. Math for the Elementary

DUKATE, REID TO STUDY AS '63 OSLO SCHOLARS
By Mary Dameron
What thoughts race through the
mind of a girl who suddenly learns
that she, a one-time insignificant
part of a great big world, now
bears the title of “OSLO SCHO-
L.AR?’’ Not only is she classed
as one among the learned, but
also slie will be, in less than three
months, experiencing a completely
new way of life—life as a student
at the International Summer School
at the University of Oslo, Norway.
■Such thoughts as—“What clothes
ashall I take ? Wonder if I’ll be
tsea sick ? I hope these Norwegian
Tmen are as cute as their pictures!
' \Vhat a responsibility representing
,*the American people” — must be
;very real in the minds of Salem’s
two Oslo Scholars for 1963, Alice
Reid and Daphne Dukate.
The two $800 scholarships to the
University of ' Oslo have been
awarded to a rising senior and a
rising junior at Salem since 1954.
The scholarships are offered by the
Hon. Corrin L. Strong, former am
bassador to Norway and former
trustee of Salem Academy and Col
lege.
This year e a c h applicant was
asked to give information about
herself, her activities at Salem,
grades for the preceeding two se
mesters, courses she would like to
take at the University and her
plans for the three-week vacation
after the close of the session. In
addition she was asked to give a
500 word response to the question,
“If asked to comment on the Mere
dith case as an example of the at
titude among America toward race
relations, how would you respond?”
Each applicant has three refer-
cncc.s—two members of the faculty
or staff and one other student.
These three estimated her personal
traits, such as personality, maturity,
adaptatibility, imagination, general
knowledge of contemporary affairs,
and the ability to benefit from and
share the experience of a stay in
a foreign country.
The selection of the scholars was
made by a committee composed of
Dr. Dale Gramley, Dr. Ivy Hixson,
Mr. Clemens Sandresky, Mrs. Amy
Heidbreder, Miss Jess Byrd, Mr.
William Mangum, Dr. Elizabeth
Welch, and Mr. Robert Wendt.
The winners were announced in as
sembly on April 11.
The University of Oslo Summer
Catalogue states that “all courses
arc intended to impart real knowl
edge about different aspects of
Norwegian and European civiliza
tion.” All participants attend lec
tures regularly, take examinations,
and, upon qualification, receive the
University’s Summer School Certi
ficate of Achievement. Students
from the United States may trans
fer credit to their home university.
Tlie gathering of many nationali
ties from East, West, North, and
South—in the friendly, constructive
atmosphere of a small North-Euro-
pean country provides a highly in
tellectual milieu.
Busy, busy, busy are Daphne Dukate and Alice Reid as they make
plans for their trip to Oslo this summer.
Alice Reid
'I'he daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Edw'ard S. Reid of Hartsville,
South Carolina, Alice is an English
major with a double minor in his
tory and chemistry. This year, as
a junior at Salem, Alice has served
as president of the Canterbury
Club and business manager of The
Salemite. She has been a member
of the Y Cabinet and of the May
Day committee. After Tuesday’s
announcement, Alice commented on
her reaction, “It’s hard to express
in words that aren’t over-used and
trite. As of now', it hasn’t really
hit me. I’ve always wanted to
study in Europe, but I never
thought it would happen. It cer
tainly is difficult to study these
idays!” .Alice has but one real fear
about her trip: “The only thing I
dread is the thought of all those
shots!”
All of the students at the Uni
versity arc required to take non
credit General Survey of Norwe
gian Culture, and in addition Alice
plans to take Norwegian Literature,
Norwegian Flistory and Norwegian
Foreign Affairs. During the three
w'eeks after the session has ended,
Alice wants to visit Germany,
France, England and perhaps Italy.
She “would rather see a little of
Europe w'cll than to hurriedly skim
over a lot.” On her weekend side
trips, Alice w'ants to get to know
the Norwegian people. She is “just
what I can see. There’s beautiful
as interested in the people as in
scenery everywhere, but the people
are different.”
Alice, in her essay, tried, instead
of “cutting down” the South, to
show the progress that is being
made toward successful integration
and acceptance of the Negro. When
explaining the Meredith Case to a
foreigner, Alice said that we must
look at "the good side of it. The
fact that Mississippi is in the deep
South perhaps makes it an excep
tion to the rule.” Alice has the
opinion that the generation to
which w'C Salemites belong is more
liberal minded than the one in
W'hich our parents belong. There
fore, she explained, there is hope
for the future, because this gradual
change of opinion w'ill add to the
liberalizing tendency.
Daphne Dukate
Daphne, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. E. T. Dukate of Panama City,
Florida, is a biology major with ;i
minor in German. She plans to
take, in addition to the University’s
required course, Norwegian langu
age and Norwegian Foreign Af
fairs. During her remaining three
weeks. Daphne plans to visit sev
eral of her relatives who live in
Great Missendorn, England. She
would also like to visit Norway and
Scandinavia. Daphne says “this
trip will be the greatest experience
of my life.”
During her sophomore year Dap
hne has served as a hall president
in Clewell, YWCA vice-president,
and YWCA regional vice-chairman.
In her essay. Daphne reviewed
the happenings during the Mere
dith case, aud voiced the opinion
that the racial prejudices which
exist in .America today can be re
moved only by the gradual process
of education and “the slow moral
of men inquiring freely into the
meaning of their lives.” America
is no more accurately portrayed by
the “Oxford Crisis” than it is by
the marriage of film stars Mae
Britt and Sammy Davis, Jr.
Daphne and Alice will sail on a
Norwegian line in early June and
fly back to the United States in
August.
