faculty voted, in its meeting, to
support a symposium in the spring.

symposium committee will rework
the structure of the symposium and

are “The Image of the South,”
“Communication in the Twentieth
Century,” and “The Language of
Art and The Language of Religion.”

Players Give "For Heaven’s Sake
Frantically Prepare For Production
By Sue Ann Brooks
The Salem College Pierrette
Players are presenting publicly
“For Heaven’s Sake,” a religious
musical review, November 14-17. On
November 13 there will be a pre
view performance and on Novem
ber J7 a command performance for
the (Academy. The final result of
hours upon hours of work is what
the audience sees. However, behind
every musical note and every line
delivered, there is a crew of girls
who literally puts together the play
—with saws, and hammers, and
nails.
The leaders of these behind-the-
scenes committees are: sets, Beth
Prevost; make-up, Frances Holton;
publicity, Phyllis Sherman; pro
grams, Betsy Fowler; and costumes,
Irene Rose. The stage manager is
Penny Ward and her assistant is
Jean King.
Karnes Attends Meetings;

Mrs. Lucia R. Karnes, assistant
professor of education at Salem,
attended two annual conventions in
•^jYork City last weekend.
The first one was the fourteenth
mnual meeting of the Orton So-
-■%> a national organization for
wiping children with language dif-
wulties. Dr. F. J. Falck of the
Diversity of Vermont spoke Fri-

''ds JBureau. “Keeping Abreast

^ iheme of this conference. Dis

IRS Will Hold
JustOne Dance
IRS President Frances Speas an
nounced in Student Government as
sembly Tuesday that IRS would
hold one dance this year instead of
the two traditional dances at
Christmas and May Day.
It is hoped that the dance, which
probably will be held in March,
will incorporate several new sug
gestions proposed by a majority of
the student body: first, that the
dance will be off campus; second,
that the dress for the dance will
be casual and the mood informal;
and third, that entertainment be
provided by a well-known combo
or orchestra.
There are many things that go
on behind the scenes previous to a
Pierrette production — besides the
incessant hammering and sawing—
that the Pierrettes won’t forget.
Did you know that—
A certain male member of the
cast has been calling up Miss
Byrd and saying “Hello, Darl
ing.”
The construction crew is now
putting out “Houser Boxes,”
which contain nails hammered
at random and which are due
to collapse at a glance. By the
way, they cost just $15 each—
$25 with the inventor.
Pat Wilson is frantically search
ing for a garbage can top or—
does anyone have a roulette
wheel ?
A certain theater class enter
tained the faculty with melo
dious sounds of hammers and
saws Tuesday. Someone is go
ing to get a Chaucer tape with
a ch-h-ch-ch-ch—clop clop as a
sequel.
Miss Battle covered three plat
forms with dirty water before
she realized that it wasn’t size
water.
A few Salemites are trying to
overcome their fear of heights
by putting up lights.
Miss Battle has been caught with
her hand in the cookie “jar”—
and her mouth full of crumbs!
For the next few days there will
undoubtedly be a great hustle and
bustle in Old Chapel, in prepara
tion for the upcoming play—paint
ing, rehearsing, nailing, and more
rehearsing—as the Pierrettes work
hours on end to make this presen
tation a success.
sembly speaker was the Rev. Tho
mas Smith, a Negro pastor from a
local Episcopal church. The Rev.
Mr. Smith is one of the leaders of
the Winston-Salem chapter of the
Congress of Racial Equality. He
gave an informative talk on the
Negro objectives in the integration
movement and reserved the latter
part of the hour for questions from
students and faculty.
Thursday night following the
Rev. Mr. Smith s talk there was an
informal discussion in the Day Stu
dent Center led by Wendy McGlinn
and open to all students. While
opinions ranged from one extreme
to the other on the complex segre
gation-integration issue, the discus
sion produced excellent points and
thought-provoking ideas.
There was discussion on the use
of demonstration by groups such
as CORE. Some students felt that
this tactic is more damaging than
it is profitable. On the other hand
some felt that, though the effort
i.s doubtful, non-violent demonstra
tion is one of the few peaceful
ways in which to spotlight the
Negro cause.
The question of legislation was
discussed next. Most students agree
that though there need to be
greater job opportunity, the basic
right of private business to hire
whomever it pleases must not be
infringed upon by the government.
