Center Locates
At Reynolda
In an effort to show its new
headquarters in Reynolda Village
to the facuty and administration of
the colleges in the Piedmont Uni-
yersity Center of North Carolina,
its directors and staff planned five.
Sunday afternoon open-house teas.
Reynolda House, the former R. J.'
Reynolds estate, was purchased to
serve as “Headquarters” and “Fac
ulty House” to meet the ever-in
creasing needs of the Center’s six
teen member institutions.
R is intended that Reynolda
House should serve the faculties of,
these schools as a central meeting
place for fellowship, interchange of
■deas, round-table discussions, semi-
uars, exhibitions, auditions, recitals,
and for all such other events as
will advance, expand, and enrich
the offerings, the services, and the
total program of each Center mem
ber institution.
The first open house was held
March 15 for the presidents and
deans of the member colleges. To
R>e next four teas, faculty mem
bers were invited according to their
departments.
Guides from Salem, Wake Forest,
and Winston-Salem State assisted
>n showing the house and giving
prepared tours. In addition, mem
bers of the music faculties of the
colleges presented musical inter-
udes. March 15, John Mueller,
Salem’s organ instructor, played.
Salem’s proposed new dormitory will be built on the present site of Pfohl House.
Trustees Authorize Dorm Plans;
Construction Begins Th is Summer
Entries must be submitted by-
May first to Miss Marsh, Alumnae
Secretary, in the Alumnae House.
The Katherine B. Rondthaler
Awards of engraved silver trays
will be presented to the winners at
the Annual Awards Assembly in
May for outstanding creative work
in music, art, and writing. The
prizes are given yearly by the
Alumnae Association. Information
regarding the forms in which the

posted in the departments of Eng
lish, Art, and Music as outlined by
Miss Byrd, Mr. Shewmake, and
Dean Sandresky.
The Alumnae Association also
sponsors annually other prizes,
which are cash awards. These in
clude the 20 President’s Prizes of
$50 each for scholastic achievement
in 15 college departments; and the
Mollie Cameron Tuttle Award in
Home Economics, The faculty in
the various departments are the
judges.
The Alumnae Association pro
vides $500 yearly for the Howard
Rondthaler Lectureship. This year
the money is used for the Sym
posium program.
Annually the Alumnae Associa
tion also sponsors other prizes,
to assist from nine to twelve stu
dents with their college expenses.
The construction of a new dormi
tory, where Pfohl House presently
is, will begin this summer. At the
trustees meeting April 2, Dr. Dale
H. Gramley was authorized to go
ahead with the plan, hoping to
award the contract in June.
The dorm, housing 99 students,
should be ready for use in 1965.
It will not be filled immediately
WRA Offers
Varied Program
The Women’s Recreation Asso
ciation is an organization of which
all Salem girls are automatically
members. Its goal is to stimulate
interest in all physical activities,
dancing as well as sports, so that
every girl can find some wholesome
activity in which she feels that she
can participate. This year the goal
has not seemed quite so impossible,
for participation has been greatly
increased, especially in volleyball
and basketball. Perhaps much of
this progress can be attributed to
the interest and participation of the
president, Susan Purdie, and the
excellent publicity, posters, and
articles in The Salemite by Carolyn
Crouch, the new president. Interest
was also stirred up by individuals.
Council members and non-Council
members, so that team spirit in
creased tremendously.
This past year a committee within
the council met and drew up a new
up-to-date constitution. Besides
new rules and regulations, the new
constitution provides for better
recognition of accomplishments in
the form of team trophies, indi-

with new students, however. South

and the girls who would live in

in the new dorm.

tures. The basement will have two

Salernos Athlete
Tardy” Loses
By Mary Dameron
“Tardy, the Traditional Tortoise,”
apparently lived up to his name,
according to the results of the Tur
tle International. News from Ameri
can University proclaiming the
winners did not include Salem’s
entry. However, he was among
such honorable losers as Oxford’s
"Gladstone” and American Univer
sity’s “She.”
A turtle named “Tuffy” spon
sored by Tufts University, trudged
down a 35-foot ramp in the record
time of 58.8 seconds to win the first
annual Turtle International, held
February 28. The charity sprint,
boasting turtles from 51 colleges
and universities across the land,
was very successful, and a large
sum will go to the Muscular Dys
trophy Fund as the result of school
contributions.
What happened to Tardy? Per
haps the glare of T. V. cameras,
the flash of photographer’s blubs,
and the screaming cheerleaders
were just more than he could take.
At present. Tardy lives on a Wash
ington farm — a relaxed, retired
Salem athlete, reveling in the glory
of his racing days.
