C., Friday, October 9, 1964 Number 3 Honors Program Committee Chooses Wilson, Rupprecht, Brown, Johnson To Take Part In ’64-’65 Honors Work In the fall semester of 1961, Salem initiated an Honors study program for advanced students. Currently the program is in its fourth year and is for seniors only. Plans are being made to extend the program down ward for the junior and sophomore classes. Students participating in the pro gram are chosen by an Honor Pro gram Committee composed of six faculty members. Miss Jess Byrd is chairman of the committee for 1964- 65. In its first year three girls were engaged in the honors study pro gram, but this year there are four students participating in the pro gram. The formal applications and regulations with wduch the students must comply are the following; 1. Applications are made and stu dents are elected the second semester of the junior year. 2. Students must have an average of 3.0 in the field of their honors study and an overall average of 2.8 3. The department concerned has the right to accept or reject students. 4.

Alec 0orshel Speaks In Lecture Series About South African Political Problems Alec Gorshel, who will speak Thursday, at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall, is the first of four persons whose visits to Salem this year are made possible by the Lecture Ser ies. Mr. Gorshel, a United Party mem ber of Parliament from the Union of South Africa, should be an ex tremely fascinating speaker for those students interested in contem porary foreign affairs, dhe United Party of South Africa, backed by appro.ximately forty-five per cent of the electorate, stands in direct opposition to the apartheid policy of the National Party, of which the Prime Minister, Henrick Verwoerd, is an advocate. The mayor of Johannesburg in 1959-1960, and prior to that a deputy mayor and a city council member, Mr. Gorshel will undoubtedly be able to speak with authority on the situation in South Africa as it stands today and how his party is attempting to alleviate some of the racial problems that have long been the source of much South African discontent. In 1956, Mr. Gorshel made his first visit to the United States. He returned again in 1963 under the auspices of the State Department Voluntary Leaders Program. In ad dition to having a vital concern for the political and social situations in his country, Mr. Gorshel is ac tive in the cultural sphere. He played a large part in the founding of Johannesburg’s new civic theatre.

The first step in submitting a piece of original work is initiative. If you’re taking advanced com position or applied art, it will be assumed that you have some in terest and a degree of talent. Rumor, too, helps the staff ferret out would-be Faulkners (or Ad Reinharts). But if you’re the artist who creates in the attic or after your roomate is in bed — if you hide your genius under a stack of last year’s notebooks — we haven t a prayer of discovering you! Perhaps you’ve fooled around with a funny incident or have tried to get something that has really impressed you down on paper or canvas. An impression of a place or personality or a coincidentally artistic snap on that postage stamp camera — all submissions will be evaluated by the staff.

The cast is as follows: Three new members of Salem’s faculty are, left to right, Thomas Suomalainen, John Burrows, and Dr. Mary Homrighous. Drama, Ceramics, Math Welcome New Additions By Susan Jones Among the new faces seen around the campus are those of three of Salem’s more recent additions to the faculty. Dr. Mary Homrighous, Thomas Suomalainen, and John Burrows. Orginally from the Chicago area. Dr. Homrighous received her A.B. and M.A. degrees from the Univer sity of Illinois and her Ph.D. from Northwestern University. Before coming to Salem, she served on the faculties of Radford College, Bloomsburg State College, De Paul University, and the University of Illinois. Here at Salem she teaches English and drama. Tn her spare time Dr. Homrighous enjoys literature, music, travel, and drama. When asked if she had taken any unusual trips, she replied that she had only been “where everyone else has been.” The enthusiasm and friendliness of Salem students has impressed Dr. Homrighous. Enthusiastic her self, she is excited about the cast of As You Like It to be presented by the Pierrettes in November, and she is looking forward to the com pletion of the new Fine Arts Center. Mr. Suomalainen, an instructor in ceramics, is a native of Duluth, Minnesota. He earned his B.A- degree at the University of Minne sota and his M.F.A. at Tulane Uni versity, where he also taught. In his leisure time, Mr. Suoma lainen likes to work with clay. He is building a studio in the country where he spends many hours. Here at Salem he has been most impressed by his ceramics class.

At pre sent he is working toward his Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina. Before coming to Salem as a math ematics instructor, Mr. Burrows taught at East Tennessee State. Among his hobbies are reading and astronomy. Mr. Burrows has been impressed by the small size of the classes; heretofore he had been accustomed to teaching twice as manv students at one time.
