FRANK A. BROWN, "Biological Clocks & Calendars" (Winston Hall, Room A, 7:30 p.m., public invited free) Could it be true that “it never rains but always pours?” Well, certainly if one considers the two weeks ahead, he would have to agree with the saying. After all, who has the opportunity to see Roy Hamilton, The Shirelles, Mir iam Makeba and Joan Baez in person, all in one short week. Satisfaction is guaranteed for everyone whose musical prefer ences might vary from the soft, smooth, sentimental sounds to the native African beat. Such are the social opportunities and entertain ment offered by Salem’s IRS spon sored weekend, March 5 and 6, by Challenge ’65, the Wake Forest Symposium on “The Emerging A few days ago I received an anonymous letter to the editor in my mailbox. Since it has been a policy of The Salemite not to publish unsigned letters, 1 cannot do so, but I will relate the information, which, to me, was rather disturbing, if at all true. It seems that our election has caused some unwholesome talk, rumors spread about certain candidates. The “concerned Salem- ites” who wrote the letter stated that Salem’s election tradition is one of verbal campaigning as opposed to campaign banners, buttons, and rallies. Tuey expressed concern over the misuse of this tradition and urged that we “hold our tongues in check.” I’m sure we all agree with them that we want a fair election. Bemg a senior in an isolated dormitory, I have not been aware of any dirty politicking, if the situation has dropped that low. It hardly seems necessary to have to remind one’s class mates that elections come under the honor tradition as well as anything else does. We have qualified girls running for every office. Had they not believed they could do the job, they would have declined the nomination. They are willing to learn what they do not know. ‘ . 4 The basis of our election system is democratic. Each student may register her own opinion and vote for the candidate of her own choice. She has the right to make up her own mind, she should not be confronted by others trying to persuade her to vote for their candidates. Salem is a small school. We have the opportunity to get to know the candidates. We do not need student parties or ma chines. The object behind the elections is to select the candidate whom the majority feel will do the best job. The candidates themselves will tell you that. These candidates have been nominated to serve as student government leaders. Student government is a privilege too dear to abuse or take for granted. Salem deserves a clean election. Help preserve this right. Seniors T ake Test For Jobs To the Editor: On March 13th at 9 a.m., we will be giving the Merit Examination for the Commonwealth of Virginia. This is for students (seniors) who are interested in working with some phase of welfare work in Virginia upon graduation. Application blanks are to be made out in duplicate and returned to Richmond by March 1st if the student wants to take the test on the 13th. We also have application blanks in our Department office. Office hours are posted on the door. Room 304. Robert L. Wendt Acting head Dept, of Economics- Sociology Hearts, Flowers World of the American Negro,” March 11, 12, 13. The symposium, with such outstanding personalities as James Farmer, the National Director of CORE, Louis Lomax, the author of The Negro Revolt, Harold Hayes, editor of Esquire magazine, and others, promises to present a challenge to and provoke some thought in those who attend. Salem students are invite to parti cipate and can do so by writing to Challenge ’65, 8664 Reynolda Station, Wake Forest College, Win ston-Salem, North Carolina. In spite of the intense preoccu pation with our “big weekend” and amazement at the 1 a.m. permission for both Friday and Saturday nights, other events, which are approaching, must not be forgot ten. Mary Lucy Hudgens, how ever, is trying to forget her “slip of the tongue” a few nights ajt in play rehearsal; but even waitress at the Farmer’s Dairy minded her of it. Doug Mock member of the cast, seems to ha, speech problems too; he is quandry as to whether he shoit stutter and then learn his lines { learn his lines and then stutte What is this all about?

By the way, if anyone can cover the mystery of lack of pani cipation in the basketball tounj ment, seniors in particular, perhip they could solve it by recruitk players for the tournament (Continued on page 6) W-S CMA Sponsors Open Don Pasquale, By Donizeti It seems that Leap Year and Valentine’s Day were most profit able for Salemites this year. Dia monds sparkle on several hands and jeweled fraternity pins are seen on members of every class. Seniors in their last semester are mixing wedding plans with job interviews, last minute committee and organization work, and thoughts of looming comprehen- sives. Dates have been set from early June to September. Seniors who have added rings to their jewelry wardrobe since September are Robbin Causey, Cammy Cro well, Barbara Gardner, Ellen Hef lin and Cacky Hubbard. Three seniors who graduated in January also had rings, and two of them, plan weddings on February 27. Two seniors have acquired new pins—Susan O. Smith to a Lamda Chi at Wake Forest and Valerie Denning to a Pi Kappa Alpha there. The juniors have almost as many diamonds as the seniors. Cecie Boren, Carol Colbert, Judy Gilliam, and Jane Hall are the proud pos sessors. Four juniors are also pinned; Sara Oliver, Kitty Smith, Melanie Tiffany, and Marilyn Ward. The sophomores have one en gaged member and several pinned girls. They are Carol Southard, engaged, and Susanne Bunch, Jane Cottle, Edna Harvey, Nancy Pendleton, and .^.nn Schouler, pinned. By Karen Kelly Under the sponsorship of the Winston-Salem Civic Music Asso ciation, the opera “Don Pasquale” was presented by the Goldovsky Grand Opera Theatre on February 16 at the Reynolds Memorial Audi torium. Gaetano Donizetti is the com poser of “Don Pasquale,” and the text is by Ruffini, and Donizetti after Anelli. The opera was given in English, with the translation by Boris Goldovsky and Sarah Cald well. Goldovsky and his company of fifty, which includes orchestra, soloists and chorus, have made ten national tours. They emphasize the theatrical aspect of the opera and demonstrate that operatic mastt works can be valid and absorbii theatrical productions rather th mere displays of vocal pyrotetj nics. Another policy of the Goi' ovsky Grand Opera Theatre is tm when the operas are transklif into English and presented wii this dramatic emphasis, the sentations are much more effect# The presentation of “Don Pi quale” evidenced the policies the Goldovsky Grand Opera Tl| atre. The comic plot concerntj the wealthy old bachelor Don P:; quale in his unsuccessful marri:t was dramatized to the fullest, t the use of English added much the enjoyment of the audience Trance First’ In Europe Causes Concern In US (Continued on Page 6) by Laurie Williams Perhaps the most fascinating personality in Western w( pjolitics is President Charles de Gaulle of Prance. His “Eur first” policy has thrown a monkey wrench into the “Ame; first” concept upheld with such zeal. De Gaulle’s desire for Prance’s leadership in Europe and apparent unwillingness to become in any policy ruled, even directly by the United States have manifested themselves several ways. To illustrate, he has supported a policy of n rality in Viet Nam, he has backed Red Chinese entrance the United Nations and its Security Council, and he has garded the proposed multilateral nuclear force agreement tween the United States and Western Europe with disdaii a purely political weapon for United States enlargement oi nuclear force, particularly since the United States would 1 veto power. In European matters, England is De Gaulle’s biggest thor the flesh, especially since the England-Prance agreement build a new airplane together seems to have fallen thro under Prime Minister Wilson. Common Market ties are other problem. Prance threatens to withdraw from this org zation if Germany will not agree to establish a unified p level on^ grams. He violently opposes any hint of US h vention into the Common Market venture; instead he seem be trying for a Europe imited with Prance at the head. Is it necessarily wrong that de Gaulle is being so obstina pro-Prancef Perhaps we have too soon created a mental k of a Great Society for ourselves and have turned it into only society in our propaganda to the world. As Post says ‘ Europeans, the Preneh especially, no longer think of themsc as helpless chicks to be fussed over by the American Mo Hen.” ANNOUNCEMENT An Ash Wednesday Comn Service will be held Wedn March 3, at 9:30 p.m. in Moravian Church. This i will be interdenominational follow an adaption of the Lu form of service, and will be for all Salem students. The brants will be the Rev. Thompson and the Rev. ' Wendt.
