Volume XLVI Salem College, Winston-Salem, N. C., Thursday, November 19, 1964 Number 9 StudentsSelectMay Day Nominees "*■ For Election Of May Queen, Court l~ 1 SENIORS Nan Berry Charlotte Carter Carolyn Crouch Judy Davis Sally Day Tinka Falls Rita Griffith Ellen Heflin Linda Lyon Wallace Carroll Analyzes Politics, Election Results During the Tuesday, November 10, assembly, Wallace Carroll spoke on “Politics and Politicians” and the election results. Mr. Carroll is well qualified to speak on this topic as he was the Washington editor of The New York Times and is now editor and publisher of the Wins ton-Salem Journal-Sentinel. Mr. Carroll began his talk by stating that “the rock on. which American democracy is founded is •politics.” He thinks that politics is fun rather than a “solem duty”; it enriches our lives. The context of his speech con cerned the November 3rd election, which he considered made history. In the last 64 out of 104 years Re- Friedan Speaks For Fulfillment Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique, delivered the second lecture of the Salem Lecture Series, Tuesday evening, November 17. Miss Friedan first defined the “Feminine mystique” as a woman who is content to be a wife, mother, and homemaker. She strongly point ed out that woman’s sole fulfill ment is not to be this wife, mother, and homemaker. She said that women are in a “massive unfinished revolution” be cause they are free on paper but are not free in their actual life. Women do not actually move when their ability speaks to them. She believes the feminine mystique should not have just sexual passions but should have human passions as well. Sexual abilities cover only a few years of one’s life and for that reason she considers it a ne-. cessity for women to try to fulfill their abilities as human beings and not just as women. One factor preventing the woman from becoming a “fulfilled human being” is the lack of an image with which she can identify herself. The image Miss Friedan said woman now gives is one of a mother whose only chore is the “keeping of bio logical life.” Women need to be heroines. She further added that com mercial enterprises, such as the TV soap operas, are contributing to the confinement of women. It is a small wonder why women can not take themselves seriously as human be ings. To form the identity which makes the fourth dimension of a woman. Miss Friedan said a new pattern and a commitment to that pattern must be made. “It is not that hard to do.” Only when women do get the commitment can they build the image needed. With the pattern developed women find out more who they are. She closed with the fact that women do not have to fear a mas culine backlash, because men need to see w'omen as human beings. After concluding her lecture, Miss Friedan entertained, for a short while, questions raised by the audience. publicans have held office in the White House, but last week this party was “shattered to bits” and we witnessed “this great landmark in elections.” Mr. Carroll then proceeded to analyze the presidential candidates. He pointed out President Lyndon Johnson’s legislative accomplish ments and Senator Barry Gold- water’s apparent disinterest in Con gressional legislation. Then he continued to explain the American political policy of coali tion. Mr. Carroll used an imaginary European parliament as an example of what happens to a large group of diverse interests when a small comprising majority is in control. This process is quite unstable and has resulted in the collapse of gov ernments. He pointed out that in America every four years the Re publicans and the Democrats set up platforms to outline their poli cies. This tradition has proved very stable due to coalitions. “The genius of American politics,” said Mr. Car- roll “is its ability to hold groups together.” Mr. Carroll then discussed why and how Goldwater was nominated and the situation of the Republican Party now. Goldwater was particul arly active in campaign affairs. He spoke at many GOP dinners and “enticed” many prominent conserva tive Republicans. These influential people got together and nominated Senator Goldwater, but this group was too “far right” and they ignor ed the moderates and the liberals in their party. After the nomina tion, Goldwater tried to smooth over the dissension in the GOP, but he still left the other two groups out of his plans. This perhaps explained why John son got the biggest percentage of the American vote in history. Gold- water carried only five states in the deep South on the anti-Civil Rights issue. Many Republicans running for office and endorsing Goldwater were not elected. But most important was the fact that Republicans who had broken ties with Goldwater were elected. The GOP is now split up into many ideological factions as shown by November 3; it is no longer a coali tion. The big question now Mr. Car- roll maintains, is will there be a GOP to vote for in 1968? Republi cans have the next four years to rebuild their party. He says that Goldwater wants to keep control over the party but that this is not likely. He also mentioned Richard Nixon and Gov. Nelson Rockefeller as possible leaders; he thinks these will not be successful. He then list ed several prominent Republicans whom he thought might take the lead. Governor William Scranton of Pennsylvania is well-qualified along with Governor George Romney of Michigan and Robert Taft of Ohio. In Congress there are Senators Everett Dirkson, Thomas Kuckel of California, and John Lindsay of New York in the House. Mr. Carroll urged us all to keep up with politics and the question of the GOP’s existence because of its importance in American Democracy.
