Well, another week has passed
and Salem College has really been
jumping. All the girls in Lehman
have been studying like crazy. I
think they are trying to make the
Dean’s list “en masse”-—the black
list, that is. Password surpasses
Charades as the favorite game. Ask
anybody of the “Big 18” to spout
off a few fractured phrases, or
Catherine Davis to exhibit her skill
in “toss-the-cards-in-the-can”. So
far she’s the champion with -44 out
of 52.

Honor Holds High Value
In Each Individual’s Life
Honors Week is now in progress. Its M^orth is high indeed,
for it is a stimulus, provoking thought to all students on Salem’s
campus. The value of honor to us as individuals is of extreme
importance also.
Since we have something of value like honor, it seems tve
might even be inclined to be selfish about our honor. This
selfishness does not mean being greedy with it, or even shelter
ing your personal concept of honor from others. The selfishness
we might possess in our philosophy of honor deals with concern
with one’s own interests. Would you be considered “greedy”,
in the sense of being selfish, if you decided you w'ould not at
tend a certain unapproved party—or open a locked door for a
“shortcut”—or even fake a signout so you might have late per
mission like someone else No, it would not be greed. It would
be protection of your interests—(in this case personal honor)—
to preserve the ethics you have. The preservation of this honor
sometimes requires discipline as in the above cases.
Is there any reward then for the selfish honor one values and
preserves! There definitely is a reward. The reward is the
realization of personal integrity. Awareness of personal in
tegrity gives one a feeling of self-esteem, and a person who has
self-esteem should be a happier person. Since one person’s hajp-
piness serves to raise the happiness of those around him, the
ultimate end of your “selfish” honor could be of benefit to others.
Be selfish with your honor; since it is valuable to you and
others, preserve it. The reward is happiness.

looking blonde of the Lamda Chi
Fraternity at Wake Forest.
The florist shops around here
must really be cleaning up. Carol
Lee Schotz got seven beautiful
white roses (for the seven found
ers) from the Sigma Chi fraternity.
Ann Schouler received white roses
from Mike Kirkpatrick, also a Sigma
Chi—they’ve been pinned a year.
Kay White got a dozen yellow
roses from Frank Freda, at the
University of Richmond, just to let
her know what time he was coming

Reformation Day Service to be held
at the First Presbyterian Church at
5 p.m. on Sunday, October 31. Each

Man.” This was written by the
Moravian composer, Johann Christ
ian Geisler, for Children’s Day on
the combined choirs. This concert

Choral Ensemble will go to Raleigh

N. C. State that they presented

Located on the grounds of the former James A. Gray
School in Winston-Salem is the North Carolina School of fc
Arts. It was established in 1963 by an act of the North Ca
lina Legislature with Dr. Vittorio Giannini as president of I
school. Classes began September 5 and will end June
The school is open to boys and girls from the eighth grat
through college level. There are also a few elementary
students attending who live in Winston-Salem. Before bei®
accepted, a student must audition and show exceptional tali
in music, dance, or drama, the three major fields of study
fered at the school.
Approximately one-half of the 220 students are residents
North Carolina, and others come from as far as Texas, Nd
York, Massachussets, and Alabama. Dormitory space is
vided with regulations similar to those of boarding schools ai:
colleges.
Requirements of the State Board of Public Instruction
met by the academic program of the high school division. Tk
students receive arts instruction in the morning and pursue
demic courses in the afternoon in classes numbering about a
teen students each.
The college division awards the Bachelor of Music and tl
Bachelor of Pine Arts degrees. In addition to the hours
study which^ are required in the art fields, the students mu
take thirty-six semester hours of liberal arts courses.
Color Of Hood Represent
School, Degree, Departme
By Paige Bishop
Have you ever wondered at the
significance of the various colors on
the hoods of die gowns worn by
the Salem faculty in Academic pro
cession, or did you know that the
use of gowns can be traced back
to the fact that the medieval build'-
ings were cold and clammy?
Since Universities of the Middle
Ages were under the jurisdiction of
the church, students of that period
adopted the robes and hoods of the
clerical orders for warmth in cold,
medieval buildings. Here at Salem
we see evidence of the adaptation
in the academic gown worn by Dr.
Lewis, which is modeled after the
gowns worn by French barristers
during the Middle Ages.
Caps and gowns have been in use
in ^ American colleges and univer
sities since colonial days. The
styles were quite varied, until a
commission offered rules to Ameri
can institutions covering the types
of caps, gowns, and hoods to desig
nate various degrees and the proper
colors for the faculties in which the
degrees were conferred.
The distinctions set up by the
code are simple. The Bachelor’s
gown IS distinguished by its long
pointed sleeves, while the Master'

is a different color to rep
each department. For ins
scarlet represents theology;
blue, the department of Educ
and pink, music.
The reason for the conce
colleges and universities wit
use of the cap and gown wai
haps best stated in 1893 by G
Cotrell Leonard, one of the h
gators of the Inter-collegiate
mission, who wrote, “On its h
