Paige Bishop ..Miss Jess Byrd Ivy Walls Protect Salem; Isolation Now Insulation The lights ia the study rooms stay on late and, at times, all night. Tests and grades occupy the minds and minutes of every girl, and the world beyond the square has moved farther away momentarily. It’s mid-semester, one of the two times before February that Salem’s walls could take on an isolating function more than at any other time during the semester. Yet, last Sunday the lights in the Day Student Center indi cated that insulation has taken the place of isolation at Salem Cl A group of girls and professors met to talk about the why and “how” of our policy in Viet Nam. Salemites, like college students from Berkeley to Chicago, are realizing that the “ivy covered walls” and “ivory towers” are not isolated refuges but rather information centers and discussions tables. Not all of us agree with the demonstrating students across the country, or that we’re going to riot tomorrow—but we are like those students in that our apathy has turned into concern. We are realizing the unquestionable necessity for this switch. In our rising concern, we are taking advantage of our “in sulation.” “Strong are thy walls. Oh Salem . . . ’’—strong and msulating but not isolating. J N High Point is becoming the nuc leus of night entertainment for seniors who roller skate and a sing ing freshman named Peggy Hart. The folk group which includes Peggy, two boys from Wake Forest and a boy from State, sang com petitively in High Point, last week end and was rewarded by the offer of a contract for an upcoming T. V. appearance. The reward of roller skating was more limited to the thrill of being blocked by a young local skatesman and unavoidably crashing floorward with him. For the seniors, who characterize themselves as a dull group who indulge primarily in bridge games, jigsaw puzzles, and picnics at Tanglewood, this may be ample entertainment. The fact that four girls alternately shared one date this past weekend does testify to a shortage of boys at Bitting. It may be that the colossal rat who inhabits a hole under the Bitting steps just scares away callers be fore they reach the door. Upperclassmen know that it’s al ways the freshmen who receive tan gibles, like the one dozen no-reason roses which came to Suzy Moser from West Virginia. First floor Clewell experienced a six inch deluge on Friday night; Mrs. Martin and Miss Roberts both helped mop up the water. After this, Mrs. Martin gave a demon stration of the 11:30 p.m.-6:00 a.m. dorm walker: clomp, clomp, clomp. The most recent victims of phy sical disasters include freshmen and sophomores, three of whom have had considerable difficulty astride their horses Linda Holland broke a foot; Carol de Jongh falls off periodically and throws her hip out of joint; and Lisa Mabley s arm has evidenced varied bloody hues, straight from the horse’s hoof. Game playing in the gym caused another disaster in which Harriet Browning and Sara Hunt contrived to run into each other and ex change black eyes. Harriet may have felt left out after her room mate, Helen Jones, collided with Mr Yarborough at Founders Uay and initiated The Black Eye Set. “Long distance” phone calls from the Farmer’s Dairy are infrequent, especially when it’s Isabel PMter- son and Diane Fries calling Olive Jenkins on Sunday afternoon to say they’ve been snowed in at Mt. Mit- chell. Olive was rightfully sur prised when they returned ten min utes later. Clare Given has begun to wonder if she was really in High Point last Easter. After losing her pocket- book at a Wake Forest fraternity party last spring, she didn’t see it again until this weekend. It was returned by a boy from Virginia, whom Clare doesn’t know, with a note that it had been in his apart ment since last Easter. He doesn’t understand how he got it; Clare doesn’t understand; and Clare’s mother understands least of all! B e b e Anderson surprise when her two dates for Saturj night arrived at the same time!

Court Holds Second Tri la Wendt Reviews ^The Secular City^; Pronounces Rinaldi Acquit Raises Controversial Questions By Robert L. Wendt THE SECULAR CITY by Harvey Cox, The Macmillan Company, New York, 1965, 268 pp., paperback, $1.45. Your boy friend won’t like it if you read some sections of this book to him, for the author, Harvey Cox, suggests that the reading of PLAY BOY by American men is only a natural continuation of his reading of comic books. Harvey Cox has taken a shotgun and sprayed the whole of American culture and its social system with some soul searching criticism. He feels that we have moved through stages of history to a point where our old ways of doing things will not get the job done. Furthermore, Cox suggests that our old way of explaining things will not suffice for the questions raised by a Secular Society. By no means would Cox, an as sistant professor of Theology and Culture at Andover Newton, turn back the clock. He wants the church and the university to move ahead of the crowd and give the leadership they are called upon to give ... or forever forfeit their right to speak to any point in this present generation. If you are an existentialist, you will not like this book. If you are one of those who believe that we must get back to our “old way” of doing things, you will not read much of this book. If you think that Christianity has no answer to the needs of the day, you will not care for his suggestion that real Christianity speaks right to the heart of the current questions and problems. If I read Cox right, he goes so far to suggest, that even . as weak as Christianity has been, it has been one of the causes of the modern revolution and it right fully deserves a shot to continue as a leader of the revolution, Marx, beatniks and comedians to the con trary. The first half of the book is stiff reading unless you have had a good course in urban and rural sociology, with a smattering of philosophy, theology and church history. If that scares you away, that’s all right, because this is loaded read ing. The author assumes that you have some educational reference points. For those who endure through Part One, will find Part Two much easier going. By the time you get to Part Three and find chapter nine, entitled “Sex and Seculari zation”, you’ll be running up and down the hall knocking on doors. His analysis, to me, seems valid. His solutions are almost as empty as those he redicules in parts of his book. But, he would start you thinking, it’s worth the time and money you spent on the book. You might ask me, “where does a col lege student get time to read such By Mary Ellen Lane On Thursday, October 21, Frank Rinaldi was acquitted of fiii degree murder by the Orange County Superior Court. This 4 cision was the result of a case marked by much eircumstantii evidence and testimony unlawfully admitted at the original trii On Christmas Eve of 1963, Mrs. Lucille Begg Rinaldi found dead in the Chapel Hill apartment which she shared« her husband Frank, an instructor in the UNC English d ment. She was found bludgeoned and tied to a chair, husband and his friend, John Sipp, an insurance agent, i covered Mrs. Rinaldi’s body when they returned from a sli; ping trip in Durham. The two men called the police, who« vestigated and soon afterward indicted Rinaldi for murder. (Continued on page 3) Rinaldi was first tried in the next seesion of Superior in Hillsboro. All of the evidence against him was circunist)! tial, but significant enough to prove him guilty and sente* him to life in prison. Many facts pointed to Rinaldi’s ' He had recently bought an insurance policy from his compel® Mr. Sipp. It covered either him or his wife for a large sn® money in the event of one’s death. Also, he and Mrs. R® had been separated all fall; she had left Chapel Hill to rd to Waterbury, Conn. She had just recently come back to W Hill at the time of her death. The pathologist’s report on her condition was a real tt point of the case. When police and doctors arrived upc scene, they discovered that the heat in the apartment was t on extremely high. This kept the body warm and confusf determining of the time of death. Rinaldi’s alibi protecte to a certain extent, but because of the heat, Mrs. Rina^ sibly could have been killed before Rinaldi and Sipp Durham. The most important testimony given in the trial was A.1 Foushee, a Negro who claimed Rinaldi begged him his wife—“Rape her, do anything, just kill her.” Pous peatedly refused, and said that on the day of the muri aldi said, “Al, I did it.” Although the jury found Rinaldi guilty, illegalities trial forced a retrial due to mistrial. A retrial was he Rinaldi was acquitted for lack of evidence. *P^ok.cA\c2.^ The consensus in Chapel Hill is that justice had do done. “He couldn’t have done it—he’s not that kind of I said a fellow graduate assistant with Rinaldi. “He didi It m him,” said a former student of his. Rinaldi’s many stood by him during his months in jail awaiting new tr are now helping him become reinstated on the staff of English Department—**Without all those wonderful P might still be in jail,” said the grateful Rinaldi. “It’s' lul to have my good name back in place of the numh identified me for those 436 days.”
