[vjovember 19, 1965 THE SALE MIT E Page TTiree Storaska Lectures Prompt Faculty, Student Comments By Connie Wessels Fred Storaska’s lectures on self protection brought both favorable nd unfavorable reactions from alemites and faculty. “The lectures were fairly good ight club acts that entertained in story telling more than in relaying information on the art of self-de fense.” Such was the remark of i ames Bray. Two male history professors, Dr. ilauss and Mr. Michie, also criti- ized the presentations: “Mr. Sto- aska’s point that rape is not the ,-orse thing that could happen to a erson is valid,” stated Dr. Clauss, “ fbut his method of presentation was In poor taste. Many of the ex- |imples were irrevelant to the proof of his point.” I Agreeing with Dr. Clauss on the Validity of Mr. Storaska’s objective, Jilr. Michie also expressed distaste for his methods, but in stronger language. “Mr. Storaska was a Ihow-off. I don’t know what he Iras trying to prove with all the iory stories. He would have been a greater service to the girls if he had devoted more time to the tech niques to protection and not to f ross, unnecessary examples.” .\lthough the men objected to Mr. Storaska’s method of delivery, two J'omen professors found his ap proach interesting and necessary. - Dean’s Trip - (Continued from page 2) |n rules and regulations. Salem is more lenient than the others in feome areas. They found they have Inany similar problems, such as the search for a better method of jiandling sign-outs. Each school ras able to offer helpful sugges- Itions. Dean Wood feels that the trip ras profitable and hopes that the leans of Queens and Converse will jisit Salem in the spring. Meeting |n small groups, Mrs. Wood says, lakes it possible to discuss ideas [hat would not be brought out in large meetings. Mrs. Wood and 'her staff are now in the process of evaluating the results of their visits. “One thing we learned,” says Dean Wood, “is that the grass is not always greener on the other ide of the fence.” avern O G Cherry Street Extension For Nice Things To Wear .

According to Dr. Byers, history professor, “Mr. Storaska accomp lished his objective very well. He wanted to get across a legitimate point, to prepare women to meet a difficult situation as rationally as possible, and to help them to learn how to avoid getting into such a situation. To overcome deeply in grained, stereotyped ideas about rape, Mr. Storaska chose the shock technique of presentation.” Dr. Welch, head of education- psychology department, was “im pressed with his personality, his approach, knowledge of the subject, and his attempt to prevent women from suffering too much psycho logically from this occurrance.” Most of Salem’s students agreed with the male teachers that Mr. Storaska’s examples were, as junior Ann Richert commented, “just too blunt.” The lectures provided bene ficial information but it took him three lectures to say what could have been said in two lectures,” added Ann. Freshman Barbara Keck remarked, “What practical advice he gave was good but he went too deeply in the the sexual aspects.” “He carried some of his illu strations too far,” concluded Jean King, senior. On the other hand, two Salemites, freshman Sally Wil liams and sophomore Susan Mat hews appreciated Mr. Storaska’s presentation. “He held my atten tion well, and now I think I could defend myself unless I forgot his talks and panicked,” claimed Sally. Susan added, “The illustrations, though not very delicate, imparted the seriousness of the situation on the students. Now I feel capable of protecting myself or at least not dying.” Although 247 students signed up in the preliminary registration for Mr. Storaska’s four lessons on the techniques of self-defense, only 34 girls registered and paid fees last Wednesday.

The “Y” sin cerely hopes that through Salemites’ generosity and worship, Thanksgiv- infi may have a true meaning for each one. The boxes placed in the halls for donations of food will be collected on Tuesday, November 23, and de livered to needy members of Salem’s family so that they too may enjoy a hearty Thanksgiving dinner. It is suggested that girls put a variety of things in the boxes — dried and canned vegetables, preserved foods, potatoes, rice, flour and sugar, and candy, and hopefully several groups of girls will pool their funds to buy a turkey. Remember all gifts must be in the boxes on Tuesday morn ing so the baskets of food can be delivered that afternoon. This morning for the annual Y Thanksgiving Assembly, Mr. Clark Thompson, College Chaplain, led “A Thanksgiving Service of Psalms.” Using a variety of translations from the Book of Common Prayer, the King James Version of the Bible, the Modern Catholic translation, the Hebrew Old Testament, and some Indian translations, the psalms were of praise, thanksgiv ing, confession, and petition. Read ings were given and used responsi vely with hymns based on the psalms. Mr. Thompson gave a brief meditation on the “Life of Grati tude” closing this worship service of meditation and response. On Monday, November 22, the Thanksgiving Vespers will be held at 10 a.m. in the Day Student Center. Gretchen Wampler has adapted the poem “Thanksgiving Day” by Robert Bridges so that it will be a short service of readings, followed by appropriate hymns of the season. The Y thanks you for your parti cipation in these events of service and worship. Mary Dameron and Jean King have been traveling with Mrs. Edith Vaughn, the Alumnae Direc tor, recently to meetings of the Alumnae Association in various dis tricts. The object of these trips is to inform the alumnae about what is going on at Salem now. On Friday, November 5, Mary spoke to a district luncheon meet ing in Greensboro at which about 40 ladies from 3 different counties were present. Thursday, November 4, Jean spoke to a luncheon meeting in Elkin which was attended by ap proximately 23 alumnae and several prospective students. Both girls have found that Salem Alumnae are about as great as Salem girls are now. They are eager to hear about their alma mater and are excited about the progress it has made. On Wednesday, November 10, Jean spoke to a group of alumnae in Raleigh. One of the comments after her talk on Salem today was, “It certainly is different from al coves 1” This comment can be ex plained readily by taking a look at the replica of the alcoves on the third floor of the Alumnae House. - Art - (Continued from Page 1) cals, and he has contributed to the World Encyclopedia of Art and to the Encyclopaedia Brittanica.
