Through Many Countries

By Doris Cooper
Summer, 1964, did not bring dis
tant journeys for Salem Students
only. Dr. Lucy Austin, professor
of classical languagues at Salem,
took a ten weeks’ tour around the
world including Hawaii, Japan,
Nationalist China, Hong Kong,
Macao, Cambodia, Thailand, Singa-
30re, Ceylon, India, Egypt, Jordan,
ebanon, Syria, Turkey, Greece, and
Rome, Italy.
The group of eleven met in Los
Angeles, California, and from there
dew to Hawaii for a visit to Hono-
luiu. A flight from Honolulu took
the tour west to the beautiful and
prosperous country of Japan and
ts capital, Tokyo. Tokyo reminds
Dr. Austin of most large cities with
ts industry and modern buildings.
In particular, she noted extreme
reparations under way for the
Olympics. Near Mount Fuji, the tour
tayed in a lovely resort hotel.
Temples and Japanese inns were
leen. The last stop in Japan waa
Cyoto.
From Japan the tour continued
0 Formosa. Here Dr. Austin part-
cularly noticed the poverty of Na-

The first meeting of Salem’s
liapter of the Young Democrats

nately twenty-five girls were pre-

n Winston-Salem; and John Gal-
agher, chairman of the Democratic
’arty of Forsyth County.
After discussion, the group decid
ed to concentrate on campaign work
intil the November 3 election. Their
ictivities range from helping at
Democratic headquarters to distri-
'Uting bumper stickers.
Thursday, November 29, Gover-
lor Terry Sanford will meet at 6
■in. in the Day Student Center with
iny Democrat interested in at-
ending the Winston-Salem rally
hat night; he then will accompany
he girls to the meeting. Those who
ittend will eat dinner at the rally.
After the presidential election,
ialem’s chapter intends to have
peakers at least once a month and
lopes to combine its efforts with
he Wake Forest YDC. On Tues-
ay, November 10, Joel Flashman,

tionalist China in comparison to the
prosperity in Japan.
The group toured the Philippines
and the capital, Manila, shortly
after typhoon Winny had hit. From
here they traveled north to Hong
Kong — one of Dr. Austin’s favorite
places. The city is noticeably pro
gressive. With the exception of
parts where poverty-stricken ref
ugees from Red China have im
migrated, the city has one of the
loveliest harbors in the world. Near
Hong Kong they visited the Por
tugese colony of Macao,
From Macao, the tour flew to
Cambodia, where they visited An
gkor Wat. Next they traveled west
to Bangkok, Thailand, which has
colorful temples and interesting
klongs (canals of a major river).
Life in this city is lived completely
on water. Boats are even used for
selling goods. Dr. Austin adds that
this life is not depressing but quite
new and exciting. Singapore, the
southern-most point of the trip
at the southern tip of Malaya, was
visited next.
The tour flew west to the island
of Ceylon and the two cities of
Kandy and the capital, Columbo.
Dr. Austin noted the lush vegatation
in this area. The next few days were
spent in India. Poverty was most
prevalent here. In Calcutta she ex
perienced her first (and she hopes
last) monsoon, where waters were
two and three feet deep at certain
points. Along the Ganges River,
where the water is considered holy,
thousands of sick and afflicted
Hindus swarm to Banaras to wash,
with hopes that they may be heal
ed. As a result, many die because
of filth.
In contrast, she describes the
beauty and majesty of the Taj
Mahal at Agra and several other
tombs equally as beautiful. The
modern capital of New Delhi was
visited. Dr. Austin’s favorite spot

Republican
The Young Republican Club at
Salem College had its first meeting
October 15 in Main Hall. Jim Ban
croft, president of Wake Forest’s
Young Republican Club; John Pat
ton, chairman of Young People for
Goldwater; and Carlton Pricklett,
liason, were there to introduce the
students to the Young Republican
Club and its goals,
Jim pointed out that the main
objective now is to help get Gold-
water elected. The ways in which
the Salem girls could help are by
putting stickers on cars and any
other activities for which the
county office needs them. John
Patton told them about the rally
that Was to be held October 29 for
Goldwater supporters. Many of the
Republican students attended.
Temporary officers were elected.
They were Marti Ross, chairman;
Wendy McGlinn, vice-chairman;
Beth Taylor, secretary; and Beverly
Butler, treasurer.
The club plans to meet once a
month. These meetings will be on
Tuesday. The club intends to have
speakers at these meetings. A
speaker whom they hope to have
soon is Ed Armfield of Winston-
Salem. They also hope to have panel
discussions, possibly between the
Democrats and the Republicans.
The club also plans to work with
the Wake Forest YRC.
It is the hope of the Salem YRC
to familiarize the students with
what is going on in our government
today and to instill in them an
interest in the government and the
Republican Party.
