Now, while we may not be con templating gardens with the same enthusiasm, we are closely surveying Salem’s growth this spring. Since plans were first made, Salem has been moving toward the expansion of her student body along with the expansion of the physical campus. The administration logically proposes that as the new dorm nears completion, we should certainly fill it. In fact, we must fill it since South dorm will not he in use next year. Still we cannot help questioning. How effective or pleasant will the two period lunch system be? With the schedule as it is, will Parmer’s Dairy be serving more Salemites? Can we expand in quantity and still improve the quality of our aca demic institution? Will Salem lose the closeness of a small school? All of these questions and many more are asked of the faculty, the administration, roommates, and the roaches. Salem’s questions this spring probably will not find definite answers before freshmen again appear iu beanies. But doubts and reservations are natural as change takes place. We cannot merely hold our hands and wait. While Salem cannot lie dor mant, her growth must be directed toward the best interest of her community. Will her expansion help or harm her own morale—or are our doubts merely growing pains? J. N. Salem Student Commends Wake Forest Symposium April 8, 1%5 THE BRICKS By Nancy Thomas Door knobs on second floor Bab cock tied together, (they were greased in Clewell!) . . . a room piled to the ceiling with crumpled newspapers for Noell Coleman and Bev Paisley ... and Jeannie and Nickye—how did you like waking up at midnight to a bed of cold water? These humorous incidents com prised only a part of the total num ber of ingenious and sometimes daring, April Fool’s jokes which circulated during the past week. Others ranged from a mysterious note in the post office which sent Mallory Lykes to the library in search of hidden chewing gum, to a sudden power “failure” in Bab cock while Mrs. Chatham was care fully locked away. The recipients of the shower- soaked mattresses in Babcock weren’t quite as enthusiastic about joke time—just as the whole junior class isn’t too elated over the pos sibility of not being the first to inhabit the new dorm next year. And the juniors in South also have another gripe—the sewage leaked into the T.V. room, AGAIN!!! Julia Miley is probably still wish ing it had only been a joke when she raised a curler-laden head to find Gene Vogler standing beside her in the sunspot. The popularity of the sunspot, not to mention that of the swimming pool bottom, has definitely gained favor lately, as witnessed by all the sun-speckled faces in evidence around campus. The Greater Greensboro Open Golf Tournament, (GGO), held Thursday-Sunday, proved to be an other way of acquiring “rays, but Karen Viall also reluctantly ac quired a little man with a blue tag who followed her around trying to find out why she didn’t have , tag too. But all that was before the sn went down . . ■ a.nd an enterprij. ing group of sophomores decided) ■was the time of year again to prat, tice date-snatching. Preparation ij summer games, maybe?

In this case Candy does not have its usual meaning, but is a book written by Maxwell Kenton. Candy has been bought, not particularly for home libraries, but as a curiosity. To say that the current “classic” is thought provoking is meaning less unless one attempts to describe Juniors Protest Treatment; WantTraditional Priviledges Controversial lectures and debates, a concert of “protest” songs by Joan Baez, and the movie “Raisin in the Sun”, were all parts of CHALLENGE ’65, Wake Forest College’s encounter with a symposium carrying the theme “The Emerging World of the American Negro.” The Wake Forest students themselves assumed full responsi bility for securing the finances to support CHALLENGE and obtaining speakers for the event. Organization problems were few, and the March 11-13 symposium was well-run featuring many names current in today’s news. Views, which did not pro pose to answer questions about the topic, but to raise questions about “The Emerging World of the American Negro” were pre sented. Our one objection to CHALLENGE was the lack of partici pation of people on our campus. The outcome of more involve ment by anyone in events like this reaps a pleasurable sense of enlightment, and students who attended the event from Salem doggedly agree that CHALLENGE accomplished that sense.

April 12 LECTURE Wake Forest College Union: VIVECA LINDFORS, actress (Humanities Bldg. Auditorium, 8:15 p.m.) Dear Editor: We, the rising seniors, are com pletely fed up with the present dorm conditions. As rising seniors, we feel that we ought to have the privilege of choosing our living quarters for our last year at Salem. For three years we have been placed in dorms, and we feel that it should be a senior privilege to have a voice in the selection of senior dorms. We realize the hous ing problems due to the overflow of freshmen that will be entering Salem in the fall. At present there is strong controversy among us as to who will live in the new dorm. If this dorm were designated as a Senior dorm then all of the present students at Salem College would have the privilege of inhabiting this dorm. I.et us enumerate some of the conditions that we have had to endure: 1. Before school started this year, several juniors from Strong dorm were unjustly placed without choice in rooms in other than junior dorms, thus defeating the whole system of room-drawing. 2. During the course of the year, in South dorm, the toilets have stopped up, thus causing flood from the showers and toilets into the “recreation” room be low. 3. Another leakage occurred on the second floor in one of the rooms due to the faulty gutter system. Luckily only the hi-fi set and bed were damaged and no clothes were hit in the room where the leak occurred. 4. A similar problem exists in the rest room on second floor be cause of a third floor leakage. 5. Both dorms have “small” prob lems due to the abundance of filthy, disease-carrying roaches. One girl in South awoke one night to find a bed partner . . . a roach! The girls in Strong have been forced to call ex terminators because of' similar problems. 6. Because of faulty flooring, girls in South have been kept up at night due to cracking of boards even when slippers are worn and light from second floor shining through to the first. 7. One Salemite, leaving her room, opened the door and it feU off! 8 Girls on first floor South have experienced ruffling of their sheets and blankets due to the wind that sweeps up through the floor 9. South dorm looks horrible to visitors and parents and has more than one to question what the $2100 tuition actually goes for. lieu of the above facts, the In rising seniors protest! If subordi nate classes can petition for our “Senior” privileges now, why can not we be awarded a Senior privi lege that will become a tradition at Salem?

LOOK Bestows All-Ameria Honor On Winston-Salei By Lamie Williams Our community-beyond-the-square, Win.ston-Salem, has selected as one of eleveu outstanding cities in the United i during 1964 by the National Municipal League and Look 1 zine.
