IsJovember 1, 1963 THE SALEMITE Page Three PITS Program Needs Major Chamges; No Memories Remain For Freshmen By Jean King Co-Chairman of FITS After the FITS questionnaires ,ere tabulated, the consensus was, ,ith the exception of Field Day, FITS flopped. Though many liked the big yellow bows and the partici pation of all classes in FITS, they felt that freshmen were really dis appointed when nothing happened to them. “Head, shoulders, knees, and toes” may seem crazy while you are singing it, but it gets fun nier every time you remember it. This year’s freshmen will have no thing to remember. Almost all freshmen said they Handler To Speak Nov. 4 (Continued From Page One) Moscow on their front lines until 1946. Following the Russian as signment, he visited Finland, Ru mania, Iran, Egypt, and Palestine and re-opened the United Press Berlin bureau in 1947. Other as signments included reporting the Nuremberg Trials and covering the first sessions of the United Nations General Assembly in London. In 1948, Mr. Handler joined The New York Times’ foreign staff and in March became Chief of The Bel grade Bureau; thus, becoming so expert in Yugoslav affairs, he was invited twice to lecture on that country before the NATO defense college. Mr. Handler became Ber lin Bureau Chief for The New York Times in 1953 and for the next five years covered both East and West Germany as well as international conferences held in Geneva and Paris during this period. While assigned to Vienna as Bureau Chief with the responsi bility of covering most of the East ern European satellite countries, Mr. Handler visited Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Rumania, Poland, and Yugoslavia frequently. He at tended the famous international congress of uncommitted nations of Africa and Asia in Belgrade. Since his return to the United States late in 1962, Mr. Handler has been headquartered in the home office of The New York Times, where his broad experience in for eign news coverage lends weight to his reporting and evaluation of the domestic scene. thought upperclassmen should have been allowed to “rat” them. One freshman summed it up, “Hazing is an expected part of college and I was disappointed in FITS because there was none of this. I feel that I'm old enough to take a little good natured hazing without having my poor little feelings hurt and most freshmen have reached a similar point. In short, we should have been hazed so we would’ve gained class unity, maturity, and a feeling of really belonging to Salem.” A point made by many juniors was FITS brought freshmen closer to the sophomores rather than the juniors. One junior expressed it this way, “In previous years the freshmen have looked to the juniors as their ‘helpers’ in their fight against the sophomores. This was the main way freshmen got to know upperclassmen. The freshmen get to know sophomores anyway since tliey live with them.” From the questionnaries it is evident that FITS should be changed. The program should be planned for the majority who seem to enjoy harmless ratting and not the few who complain about it.

Salem’s "Miracle Worker” Beautifies Entire Campus Johnston Gives Symposium Topics; Students Will Vote November 25 This time of year, Salem s grounds keeper, Mr. Holder, is especially busy raking up all the leaves. worker.” These were the words used by Mrs. Dorothy York, Super intendent of Houses, to describe the work of Salem’s gardener, Mr. Holder. Mr. Holder takes care of the entire campus, excluding the Aca demy, almost single-handedly. He does everything from mowing the hockey field to planting the flowers beside the darms. Currently in his third year at Salem, Mr. Holder is very enthusiastic about his work. When asked if he enjoyed garden ing, he answered emphatically, “Yes! I love my work very much ... I love work!” Mr. Holder comes to Winston- Salem from the country each morn ing by seven-thirty and remains until four-thirty. When he re turns to his own farm, he works the rest of the evening. Since most of his children are grown (he has four boys) he does the work on his thirty acre farm himself. Tish Johnston has announced that three tentative topics for a Salem College Symposium have been se lected. The student body will have the opportunity of expressing its preference by a show of hands at the November S Student Govern ment meeting. Brief explanations of the following topics, including suggestions for speakers and pro grams, will be handed out to all students; 1. Image of the South 2. Language of art and re ligion 3. Communication It is emphasized that the choice is now up to the students; the faculty will vote to support their choice. Interest on the part of the student body is needed, however, in order for the faculty to show an enthusiastic interest. For the first time, the Legislative Board has been consulted concern ing its preference of plans for the college calendar. The board voted to back a “long plan” with longer Christmas and spring vacations and graduation on June 6, 1963. This plan for the 1964-65 academic year was prefered over a plan with shorter vacation periods and gradu ation on May 30. The board also suggested consideration of opening school one week earlier in Septem ber. Many that in Salemites do our midst is not realize a “miracle GOING HOME FOR THE WEEKENO? OOOH....
