a.m. Dr. Dale Gramley led those
present at the breakfast given at
'the refectory in the Moravian
blessing. After sugarcake and cof

students, their guests and families,
faculty from both Salem and Wake
Forest, Salem trustees and resi
dents of Old Salem. All were in
vited by Dr. Gramley. Among the
particular friends of the Gramley’s
were Orville Freeman, the Secre
tary of Agriculture of the United
States, and Mrs. Freeman.
Approximately 470 guests were
served Sunday morning. Mrs. Cum
mings admits that because our
spring vacation did not coincide
%ith Easter more students came to
the traditional breakfast. However,
the crowd usually numbers between
four and five hundred.

Students Exhibit
Works In Show
At the Third Annual Student Art
^^jjompetition in the Erdahl-Cloyd
Uynion Gallery at Raleigh, April 4
'^ntil May 1, the works of two
Salem girls are being shown. Elaine
Burn's linoleum entitled “Man in
a Derby Hat” is in the exhibit
^long with an untitled oil painting
by Mary Ellen Emory.
' The purpose of the competition
and sale is to give students
throughout the state an opportunity
to compete in a judged exhibit with
students of other colleges. Works
were chosen from those submitted
early this semester from tw'enty-
one schools in North Carolina.
The “Jury” consisted of two cri
tics. Ann Wall Thomas is a print-
f aker from the University of
eorgia. She is a native of North
Carolina with degrees from UNC
at Greensboro. Howard Thomas is
a painter, also from the University
of Georgia who has studied in
Chicago, Ohio, and abroad.
The works on exhibit are also
for sale. With seventy-five dollars
^u can purchase Mary Ellen’s un
titled oil. However, if you are
pinching pennies these days, you
can get Elaine’s “Man in a Derby
Hat” for a mere twenty-five dollars.
beginning work at midnight Satur
day means a long, tiring day for
the refectory staff. She therefore
begins Easter day by giving the
staff a traditional fish fry which
they and their families always en
joy. Ordinarily each person on the
staff has every other Saturday
afternoon and Sunday off; but all
of them came Saturday night and
stayed until all guests had left, all
tables had been cleaned and reset,
and all china and silver had been
washed and dried.
Mrs. Cummings says she brought
in all the bakers, dishroom boys
and maids for the occasion, and at
the last minute Sunday morning
baked more sugarcake in prepara
tion for a possible overflow of
guests. For those of you who
doubt the work that went into the
breakfast, approximately eighteen
hundred slices of sugarcake were
baked, and thirty gallons of coffee
brewed.
Salem Girls Participate
In Wake Mock Trials
By Mary Lucy Hudgens
Court convened at 7 p.m. Wed
nesday, April 14, and three
Salem students took the stand.
Robbin Causey as Mrs. Kathryn
Konnoisseur, Mary Dameron as
Phyllis Phidius, and Feme Houser
as Alice Aphrodite were witnesses
in the case of Konnoisser vs. Re
noir. This case was one in a series
of mock trials serving as part of
the final examination for third year
law students at Wake Forest.
The plaintiff, Karl Konnoisseur
was suing art dealer, Rembrandt
Renoir, for damages and breach of
contract. Konnoisseur purchased a
fifteenth century Milanese painting
worth $5,000 from Mr. Renoir. Mrs.
Gokhale Speaks
Of Buddhism
Dr. B. G. Gokhale, Professor of
Asian Studies at Salem, spoke
Wednesday on Zen Buddhism. He
said that through its centuries of
history, Buddhism had developed
many forms, and that Zen was one
such form.
The main aim of Buddhism is to
create a state of enlightenment in
the human mind. In this state, the
mind would be able to transcend
the limitations imposed upon it due
to its nature and functions. Bud
dhism produced two major ap
proaches to the idea of enlighten^
ment; one approach being through
intellect, the other, through intui
tion. Zen was the path of intuition
in its most profound application. It
led to Sartovi, or perfect enlight
enment.
Speaker To Voice Ideas
On Moral Rearmament
By Jean King
In a recent “Peanuts” cartoon,
lharlie Brown, trying to decide
low he should throw a baseball,
onsidered the question of what is
ight. A rousing discussion con-
crning the meaning of morality
ollowed. Though this was in a
^timorous vein, it is a serious ques-
lon all of us could consider.
'Thursday, April 29, in assembly,
fpresentatives from the Moral Re-
■hnament Movement will show a
ilm and speak about their ideas of
norality and what the individuaVs
elation is to it. Basically, their
ihilosophy is that all men should
Jam to unite and live together re-
[ardless of faith, color, or nation
ality. There is no particular em-
Siasis on a certain religion. They
Konnoisseur requested that the
painting be cleaned and in the pro
cess the art dealer discovered a
$30,000 fourteenth century Giotto
original beneath the Milanese.
Konnoisseur maintained he had
bought the entire w'ork and there
fore, was entitled to the Giotto at
the original price of $5,000.
Alice Aphrodite, a Giotto expert
and Phillis Phidius, a former em
ployee of Mr. Renoir testified that
the art dealer should be released
from the contract and allowed to
place the Giotto in the North Caro
lina Art Gallery. One of the law
yers for the defense was Salem’s
librarian Jim Van Camp.
The witnesses were given a few
basic facts concerning their parti
cipation, but they did not know
what questions they would be asked
by either side. Often the witnesses
had to improvise answers while on
the stand. For example, Mrs. Kon
noisseur was asked how much she
loved her husband.
The law students were so intent
that frequent objections prevented
the case from developing from the
testimonies of the witnesses. The
summations, however, from each of
the lawyers, two for the plaintiff
.and three for the defense, offered
such convincing arguments for their
clients that it was difficult to de
termine the outcome.
While the jury retired to consider
its verdict. Judge L'apham, Superior
Court Judge from Burlington, in
formally offered beneficial criticism
of the court room procedure. The
jury voted in favor of the plaintiff
on every issue including $25,000
worth of damages for the destruc
tion of the Milanese to uncover the
Giotto. The court adjourned at
10:30 p.m. with the traditional mix
ture of smiles, handshakes, and dis
appointed faces among the aspiring
young lawyers.
Bright Smiles Warm Salem Campus
Orphans Come To Salem
For Easter Party Fun
Tuesday afternoon sixty children
from the Memorial Industrial
Home jumped off the buses at the
square. They were met by several
Y-Cabinet members who took them
down to the gym. For those ex
cited children, it was a longer jour
ney to the Easter party than they
wanted to make. As one youngster
put it, “Where in the world are
we going?”
The party got off to a gay start
with “The Saints Go Marching In.”
The children, bursting with enthus
iasm, began to rock back and forth,
clapping their hands, and virtually
taking over. As Jean King com
mented, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful
to teach children with this much
pep all the time.”
The relay races included potato
sack, jump-rope, and carry-a-potato
in a spoon. While the older ones
were contending for such prizes as
candy Easter eggs and an Easter
bunny, the younger children went
to see the May Dell. They were
fascinated that “George Washing
ton had once stood there.”
When refreshment time was an
nounced, every child ran belter
' skelter to get his lemonade, cake,
jellybeans, and potato chips. While
they were busily sampling their
goodies, Lisa Mabley and Kathie
Carpenter played several numbers
on their guitars. Nancy Lineber-
ger offered her famous “Flighland
Fling.”
In return for our entertainment
several groups of the visitors got
up to perform for us. The .Supre-
mes were undoubtedly the favorite
followed by loud demands for “My
Girl.”
To end their afternoon, the child
ren were taken on a tour of Salem’s
campus. The refectory, the boys
and girls felt, w'as “The most beau
tiful place.” The teenage girls
especially loved the dorm rooms
and commented on their size.
As they boarded the buses, they
thanked us repeatedly for the
“great party” probably not realiz
ing that their visit had been much
fun and most rewarding for all of
think that science and technology
in the world today are moving
much faster than the ideas and
beliefs of all individuals.
A particular branch of the Move
ment is “Modernize .Mnerica”. Be
cause they are very much con
cerned with world affairs and the
part America plays in them, they
think that foreign po'icy could be
approached in a better way. They
say that when Communists come
into countries, they offer a way of
life to the people; and furthermore,
they, themselves, live up to it. Is
this true of Americans?
This group has offered its view
point to many well-known colleges
and universities with very impres
sive results. Shall we be broad
minded enough to give them a
chance ?
