Completes Year
Appreciates Suggestions
The Salemite staff regrets that it will be unable to publish
its last scheduled issue this year because of its financial stand
ing. We have alloted the balance of this year’s budget to partial
repayment of our debt to the Concessions Committee. With
our increased budget next year we hope to make your paper
better.
In order to do so the staff has considered the criticisms of
the Finance Board and student questionnaires. The board has
suggested that we “reconsider haviug the paper issued on Fri
days as it is a time more suited (psychologically) to the arrival
of the paper.” However, we feel that students now have more
time to receive and read their Salemite late Thursday afternoon
than late Friday afternoon.
We also feel that the ooard’s suggestion that the paper in
clude more articles on “the history and traditions of Salem and
Old Salem” is answered by the questionnaires with the lack of
interest indicated in articles of this nature. It was further pro
posed that more six-page issues be published; we hope we will
be able to do so.
The results of the questionnaires also support last week’s
letter to the editor. We not only need to patronize our adver
tisers but also read their advertisements. Let’s remember that
ads are not in The Salemite to take up space.
We appreciate your criticism and interest. Next year we hope
that you’ll continue to let us know what you want and, even
more, give us your help.

Seniors Plan Interesting Summers
With Traveling, Studying, Working
Due to the beautiful hot wea
ther (and the no - sun - bathing -
around-the-pool-rule) the sun-spot
has been getting more than its
share of attention. There were two
young visitors the other day taking
snap-shots. Could it be they wanted
a souvenir of Nancy Thomas in that
cute little orange bikini number to
take home to mother? Of course,
if we ever think it’s going to rain,
we can always count on the work
men (especially on third floor
Gramley) to pray for sunshine. I
think they like the scenery.
You can hear the most interest
ing things at the sun-spot too.
Zelle Holderness, Nancy Hundley,
and Judy Gilliam got all carried
away on the subject of proper wed
ding dress and veil to wear. Maybe
you girls would like to pass on a
little of your pearly wisdom to the
rest of us.
Beware of second-floor Babcock
—Poison Ivy City! Olive Jenkins
has it in her hair. She claims
she got it lying down in the May
Dell. Sounds pretty good to me.
And of course Noell Coleman has
been visiting her favorite field
again and got that awful ailment
on her . . . well, in a most em
barrassing place. Itch much, girls?
Eleanor Lauck has an amazing
trick she’d like everyone to know
about. It seems she puts an ink
pen in her mouth, pulls on it, and
suddenly, right before your eyes,
she swallows the cap. Now she’s
trying to perfect making it appear
again. Good show, El!
Beth Moore and her charming
cohorts put on a fantastic perfor

the Refectory the other night—sort
of a minstrel show—only in reverse.

"Where have all the young girls
gone? Gone to young men every
one.” So the popular folk song
goes. But, even though there are
many of Salem’s seniors planning
to go to young men this summer
or early fall, there are still many
seniors who have interesting single
summer plans awaiting them.
Rita Griffith is going to Wash
ington, D. C. this summer where
she will work for Senator Erwin.
Mary Ellen Emory will go with
her to work.
Jane Allen and Babs Bodine, who
are going to Germany, will take a
student boat and will arrive there
on July 9. After their arrival, they
plan to get a car and hopefully
find a job. They will work through
out the summer and then travel
during the fall with the money they
have earned to see Europe as it
really is.
Lisa Rankin and Kay Kell are
going to Madrid next fall to work
on their Master’s Degrees. Doris
Cooper will be living in Winston-
Salem with Suzanne Boone and
former Salem students, Sandra
Morgan and Myrtle Moon Bilbro.
Sandra, Myrtie Moon and Suzanne
are going to be teaching in Win
ston’s schools, while Doris will be
working with Winston’s new and
towering Wachovia Bank. (Now,
she’ll be able to keep an eye on
her good ole’ Alma Mater.) On
July 7 she starts the Customer
Service Training Program which
will get her acquainted with dif
ferent parts of the bank.
Senior Harriet Hajrwood will play
the piano for the summer stock at
East Carolina College while junior
num & Bailey will hire you next
year, Beth.
Did everyone get a chance to eye

last weekend? O.K. Everyone

Girls Make
Suggestions
The results of the Salemite Ques
tionnaires which were distributed
earlier this spring have been tabu
lated. Most of the students were
very cooperative about expressing
their assorted views in regard to
the coverage and quality of the
newspaper, and many suggestions
were offered. The survey indicated
the number of students who prefer
to read the following articles:
Culture Corner 34
Around the Square 76
Bouncing off the Bricks 58
News 70
Feature 84
Current Events 60
Advertisements 28
Editorials 67
Articles on places 30
Articles on people 100
Events of past significance 24
On Salem organizations 48
Suggestions which recurred fre
quently in the questionnaire dis
played a wide-spread interest in in
cluding more faculty news (articles
both about and written by the
faculty); more articles pertaining to
the art, music, and drama of Win
ston-Salem; deeper, more contro
versial issues embodied in articles
and editorials; and much more
humor and campus gossip.
Winston-Salem Celebrates
Two Hundreth Anniversary
By Jane Hall
Winston-Salem is currently deep in the midst of making plans
for the celebration in 1966 of the two himdreth anniversary oi
the founding of Salem. Headed by Archie K. Davis, the general
theme of this year-long event will be “Thanksgiving for Oni
Heritage.” On January 6, this celebration will formally begii
with an event commemorating the felling of the first tree ii
1766.
As the year progresses, there will be a series of lectures, tb
first being in February on “Contemporary Developments ii
Theology,” followed in consecutive months during the spring
with lectures on such topics as “Education and the Community"
“Science and the Modem World,” and “Capital Formation ii
the Free Enterprise System.” Continuing in October, this lec
ture series will also include “America’s Commitment in Worlj
Affairs,” “The Emergence of the Southeast—Economic and Cul
tural” and, in December “The Proper Study of English.”
Several special events, along with the lecture, will also higl-
light the month of March. These will include planting aii
dedicating two himdred trees in the public parks, a North Ca»
lina Tarheel Square-Up, an open house at Salem, and a com
munity week featuring the public servants.
In April there will be an exchange of speakers throughotl
the city, a crafts festival at the Coliseum, and a Music and Art
Festival Week at Winston-Salem State College.
Highlighting May will be the Metropolitan Opera presentii
“Madame Butterfly.” There will also be the Salem Flower Fes
tival and a Commerce and Industry Week.
June will mark the begmning of an outdoor drama concen
mg a history of the Moravians at Salem which will run for si)
to eight weeks with five to six performances weekly. Also ii
March will be a Moravian music festival and the Southern Lswi
Tennis Tournament. It is hoped that one of the sgpecial hijli
lights of the year will be a visit from the President of tl
United States on July 4.
In September, there will be a public seminar, “Medicine 8®
rree Enterprise” at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine aloi!
with an open house at Wake Forest College which will n
through the first week in October. In October there will be
transportation Week, an Air Fair, and the Dixie Classic Pair-
One of the very special events of the year will take place!
November and will be Thanksgiving services at the Colisem
At the end of November and the beginning of December wi
be a Culture Week. Along with these events there will I
special Little Theater productions, Winston-Salem Symphoi
concerts, dramatic productions, and art exhibits.
All plans of course, are tentative, at present, but, all in al
it looks as though 1966 will be most enjoyable and rewardinf
Issues Financial
Statement For Past Year
The Salemite is financially de
pendent upon an annual allotment
from Student Government which is
supplemented by money we receive
from advertisements. Two years
ago our major source of advertising,
the cigarette manufacturers, was
cut off. This meant that our na
tional advertising was diminished
by approximately $325.(X) a year.
With this decrease in funds plus
an increase in publishing costs, we
decreased our balance and found it
necessary to borrow money from
the Concessions Committee. This
debt must be paid by October of
next year.
It costs $125.(X1 to print a regular
four page issue of The Salemite and
$205.00 for a special six page issue.
This cost varies according t
number of pictures and cartoo
each issue. Next year we pi)
print 20 regular issues and 3 s;
issues. The total cost of pu
tion will be approximately $^!
We have received a $.75 pci
dent increase in Student Go
ment allotment for next year '
will give us about $262S.(»
