iDecorative Murals Adorn
’lewelTs Rec Room Walls
.U*v
Fools’ names and fools’ faces
often seen in public places!” But
this cliche is not true of the walls
around Salem, especially in the Rec
odm of Clewell.
The Rec Room is undergoing a
complete change, from new furni-
■'t^ture in Little Cozy to wild paint-
i|ings on the walls. Also some of
the furniture in the big room has
been recovered and, for some
[strange reason, many new ash trays
ave been made available.
On one of the walls a big
SALEM has been painted in yel
low, outlined with black and sur
rounded by many significant fig-
res. The drawings were done by
‘sophomore Judy Clevinger. One
figure is a girl, with a forced grin
n her face and shaky knees,
standing in front of a clock show-
ng IS ’til one.
Another girl is holding a big yel
low mum signifying alj the football
ames that Salemites attend. No-
ithing more can be said about her,
xcept .that she’s wearing a sopho-
ore blazer.
A “Marty Ross-type’’ character
s sitting on top of the “L’’ read
ing Man Magazine, while a Nun
j*(from the “Ivy Covered Convent’’
’’^stands in her red sneakers reading
A“PlaygirI".
Also on the same wall is a girl
on cloud nine. She is wearing a
huge diamond on her left hand and
her head is encircled with hearts
and flowers, which is typical of
many Salemites.
On the opposite wall are pen
nants representing every school in
the hearts and minds of Salemites,
and the letters of many fraternities.
“VVe also have plans for the
other walls in the Rec Room,” said
sophomore Dale Eyerly, head of
the Rec Room Committee.
She said on one wall will be an
abstract mural, “Fiasco”, by sopho
more Courtnay Fitts. In it will be
such items as a pack of cigarettes,
a bridge hand, a champagne bot-
te, and other items found in the
possession of typical Salemites.
“Also oh the wall next to the
television' will be a big horrible
ugly green thing,” ‘ added Dale,
“with a caption saying ‘Sex Rears
Its Ugly Head’ under if."
Other plans include travel posters
for the Little Cozy and another
painting, which will be a big piano
with “Mad” in place of the manu
facturer’s name and the Alfred E.
Newman head and ‘What, Me
Worry ?” in the middle of the music
stand.
Judy Clevinger, Dale Eyerly, and Florence Pollock hold op their
ihumbs and apply paint to give Clewell Rec Room that new
[spring look."
Donna Van Dyke, who proved her
leadership as chairman of the
entertainment committee for Par
ents’ Day, will serve as president of
the rising sophomore class. Donna
lives in Richmond, Virginia. Mar
tha Eubanks, who lives in Monroe,
North Carolina, is the new vice-
president. Martha was elected pre
sident of her freshman class. Brett
Miller, from Raleigh, North Caro
lina, was a representative to IRS
this year and is the new class secre
tary. The class funds will be en
trusted to Priscilla Taylor in ’6S-’66.
The rising sophomores have yet
to elect the house presidents of
Clewell and Babcock. After room
drawing the junior house presi
dents of Lehman, Sisters, and
Gramley will be voted upon, as will
the senior presidents of Strong and
Bitting.
Rates;
Is All-American
The SMemite has been awarded
an All-American rating by the
.'American Collegiate Press Associa
tion. Issues published during the
first semester of the school year,
. 1964-1965, were judged in compari
son with newspapers from other
colleges with similar enrollment,
methods, and frequency of publi
cation. They were judged by pro
fessional new'spaper men and wo
men and journalism professors. The
newspapers were judged in three
general categories: coverage, con
tent, and physical properties, i.e.
layout, headlines, typography, and
photography.
The Salemite scored high in the
areas of coverage, photography and
general makeup. The paper was
commended by the judges for the
thought and variety shown in the
feature articles, for the “lively
looking” layout of the editorial
page and for the quality of, the
photography. The diction used in
headlines was criticized. The judge
also commented that the admini
stration was not used as an effec
tive news source.
In previous semesters, the, Salem
ite has been awarded five Second
Class and five First Class Honor
Ratings. This is the Salemite*’
first .^11-American rating,
Robbin Causey was thrilled with
the news. She said that this was
a “fitting revyard for the hard work
that we put into the paper.”
Trustees Honor
Salem President
At the Trustee’s meeting .A.pril 7,
the names of two presidents of
Salem were selected as the names
of two buildings. The new dormi
tory will be named in honor of Dr.
Dale H. Gramley and the science
building will be named in memory
of the late Bishop Howard E.
Rondthaler, president of Salem
from 1909 to 1949.
In addition the fine arts building
was named “The Fine Arts Center.”
Various parts of this building will
be “living memorials” to five 'Win
ston-Salem residents and memor
ials to three deceased citizens.
The large 800-seat auditorium will
be called the “Ralph P. Hanes
Auditorium.” Hanes, a former
president and vice president of Old
Salem, Inc., has been an active sup
porter of the college. This audi
torium should be connpleted in time
for commencement June 6.
Ann Richert shows Mary Dameron one of the many places they
must include in their summer plans as Oslo scholars.
Salem Awards Scholarship
For Summer Study In Oslo
In assembly on April 8, junior
Mary Dameron and sophomore Ann
Richert received the news of win
ning the Oslo Scholarships. Ann
confessed that she was “just
floored” and Mary “simply couldn’t
believe it.” Both girls are excited
about their summer in Norway, and
they are making big plans for stu
dies and travels.
The tAvo girls have dreamed of
this opportunity for quite a while
now. Mary' Dameron has been
fascinated with the program since
her freshman year, and, of course,
both girls have been thinking more
about it since t'lc day when all
applications were due in Dean Hix
son’s office to be considered by the
Oslo Comtnittee. In addition to
other data, recommendations from
■two faculty members, with the ex
ception of those on the Oslo Com
mittee, and from one student, are
required.
The two Oslo Scholarships pro
vide a six-weeks course at the Uni
versity of Oslo during the summer.
The grants of $800 each have
been presented to a rising senior
and a rising junior for almost ten
y'cars, and have always covered
transportation by air to Oslo, tui
tion, and room and board. The
donor of the scholarship is Former .
Ambassador to Norway, L. Corrin
Strong, the son of Mrs. Hattie M.
Strong. Mrs. Strong presented to
Salem College Strong Dormitory
and Corrin Refectory and her son
has carried on her philanthropic
tradition.
The University of Oslo Summer
School on Norwegian civilization
for English-speaking foreign stu
dents was first held in 1947i It was
based on the idea that Norway and
its cultural contributoins have a
genuine quality which makes study
ing them worthwhile. In addition,
Norway is considered highly repre
sentative of Europe as a whole,
and the study of Norway' thus
offers an excellent introduction to
general European problems.
Though the school was first de
signed just for American students,
there are now a good percentage
of students from 32 other countries
in Africa, Asia, Australia, and
Europe, in addition to those from
North America and Norway.
The scope of the school has been
gradually widened. The core of the
curriculum is a general survey of
Norwegian life and culture attend
ed by all participants. In addition,
elective courses are offered on
many specialized subjects. Both
Mary and Ann are taking Inter
national Relations as an elective
and possibly a course in Norwegian
art. Mary, an English major, also
wants to take a course in Nor
wegian literature.
Both girls plan to do some travel
ing in Europe. The program spon
sors several side trips, but they in
clude mostly Scandanavia. The
two girls are going to do some
traveling on their own after the
summer school has ended. The pair
sets off for this exciting summer
early in June, leaving New York
June 19 and arriving in Oslo June
28. They will be at the school for
six weeks and then will travel for
approximately' two weeks.
