Aud'm., 8:15 p.m., public in vited free) BqUnC|Nq bricks By Nancy Thomas With the disclosing of the tremendous news about the IRS weekend, we have, at last, a chance to cheerfully support this organization. The increase in the Student Budget allotment has enabled IRS to bring big-name artists to Salem. This, in turn, gives us something to be proud of—something worth asking a date to see. IRS is the social organization on campus. There has been much dispute about its worth and purpose. As it is set up it has a two-fold purpose: one, it sets the standards on campus life in grooming and appearance; two, and to my mind more important, it provides the campus with social functions. Other girls’ colleges have their cotillions and assemblies. They sponsor several big weekends on campus a year. They are suc cessful. Why cannot Salem do the same? The biggest hindrance in the past has been the lack of suffi cient funds. The cost of entertainment, as everything else, has risen. The boost in the budget allotment has been just enough for the weekend planned, with allowance for other IRS ex penses. We have already paid for this weekend. It would be a waste not to attend. Some people complain how hard it is for a girl to ask a boy for a date, which is what this would entail. Think about it from the boy’s point of view. He would be flattered to be in vited, especially when the entertainment is of the calibre we have. To others, the fact that no drinking is allowed on campus is a bulwark. But we must remember that Salem is a church- affiliated college. Besides, few girls’ colleges allow drinking at their functions on campus. All things considered, the IRS weekend looks great. But its success depends on your support—faculty and students. In a sense, IRS is making a last desperate attempt at survival. Its future is up to you. One of the best features of the program is its variety. Al though some people wanted rock and roll both nights, we must realize that we have a big campus with various tastes. The weekend as planned has something to appeal to everyone. The Sunday snow, which gradu ally covered a deserted campus, marked the end of a brief period of spring-like weather which had characterized the past week at Salem. Everyone had to reaccus tom herself to the inclement winter weather. Cotton clothes which had been brought out in honor of the pre-season warmth, were quickly returned to their places among numerous woolens. Students and professors ceased debating the ques tion of whether or not much more valuable material could be absorbed outdoors with the aid of better sunlight. Although the snow radically changed the weather conditions, it Salem Acquires Microfilm Slips Do you have those definitions 'eady for our dictionary, Sort? (jes...

The unexpected snow also delayed, but did not prevent, the return to school of errant Salemites who reluctantly faced a week of preparation for quizzes and papers.

Happy hunting! Mangum, Shewmake Exhibit At Gallery The Library has recently received on mircofiche long runs of two im portant 19th century periodicals. Microfiche is a new form of micro print consisting of cut film 4x6 slips, each carrying about SO pages of ordinary print. This form of micro print is especially adaptable to periodicals and long serials. It has been adopted by NASA as the method to be used to store all their scientific information. The transparent slips can be easily read in the machine the library has acquired for this purpose. While microprint is never expect ed to supplant the book as the most convenient form of preserving facts and ideas, it is a practical method of supplement and strengthening library collections with materials which are no longer available or too costlv for any but the large research library. The Quarterly Review was begun in England as a Tory rival to the more liberal Edinburgh Review and represents the established opinion in English letters of its day. Many of its contributors were leading politicians and critics whose ideas were expressed in strong and caus tic language, frequently to the dis tress of younger writers. It failed to recognize the genius of Keats, but then, its rival failed to appre ciate Wordworth. The library has acquired the years 1809-1861 which cover its most outspoken period. It is hoped that the Edinburgh Re view will soon be available in some form of microprint, so that the lib rary can have both periodicals for comparison. The Nation was established in the U.S. in 1865 to compete with the leading English weeklies. Its ex pressed aim was to promote scholar ship and learning in this country, iod. j Both of these periodicals are im portant to us today because they reflect a high level of thinking of their period and expressed it in a form of journalism that was vital, strong, and often witty. They are among the periodicals indexed in Poole’s Index to Period icals Literature of the 19th Century which affords ready access to their subject materials by students doing research work in literature and his tory of the period. January 17-February 5 The Asso ciated Artists of North Carolina had their tenth exhibition at the Frank Thompson Theatre Gallery at North Carolina State of the Uni versity of North Carolina at Ral eigh. William Mangum and Ed F. Shewmake of our art department were contributing exhibitors.

Vietnamese War Changes In Reaction To Attacks by Cara Lynne Johnson The war in South Viet Nam entered a new phase this p« week following the attacks made on United States soldiers at on our military bases. Reaction to this violent flare-up w world-wide, because the struggle for this area involves the ii terest and prestige of Red China, the Soviet Union, and tl United States. With this flare-up the war becomes broader ai can only move toward a large military conflict or a negotiate peace settlement. What factor caused the sudden upsurge of the Communis influenced Vietnamese? Many people believe that Soviet Pn mier Kosygin is the cause. He reversed Premier Khmshchev “hands-off” policy and is trying to strengthen the “country defense potential” (meaning Viet Nam) and rebuild Soviet ii fiuence in Southeast Asia. President Lyndon Johnson wants to put an end to the vileged sanctuary status” of Communist North Viet Nam. United States has been active m defending South Viet Nai since 1961 and has made it plain that she is going to maiutai her stand there. Yet when the new crisis erupted last week. President Jol son did not seem to renew this stand. Perhaps he should ha' disclosed more factual iaformation to the American people wi have been exhibiting a growing anxiety concerning the situath For a long time political instability in South Viet Nam k prevented any real progress for the free world. The consta shifting of governmental organization inhibits the formation diplomatic ties. The latest development, the organization of civilian government for South Viet Nam by Dr. Phan Huy Q® could become another obstacle to the free world’s search for solution to the situation. The United States is in a precarious position. If we do u keep pledges in South Viet Nam, we may lose prestige in t eyes of the world. In addition, the loss of South Viet Nam the Communists could put other Southeast Asian countries danger of Communist aggression. The people of South Viet Nam must be considered in deti mining any solution. More than 78,000 people have been killt Their nation is tom by guerilla warfare and the future of tl nation appears grim.
