Dr. David Hyatt, former press
attache at the American embassy in
Pakistan and present Executive
Vice-President of the National
Conference of Christians and Jews,
spoke in assembly Wednesday,
March 2. Dr. Hyatt was also at
one time a teacher at Cornell.
Dr. Hyatt stated that brother
hood depends on the young people
of today with their sense for fair
play and their insistence for justic.
He has more faith in the generation
of today than in his owm generation.
While serving in the Army in
World War II, Dr. Hyatt saw that
facing death brought out the “di-
ine spark” and sense of brother
hood in man. According to Dr.
Hyatt, “The power and beauty of
lan is reflected in the obscenity of
ivar.” Since every man has a part
of God within him, it is a desecra-

Brotherhood Of Mankind
tion to hate a man. All men are
brothers; to deny a man anything
is to blaspheme against God. The
purpose of the National Conference
of Christians and Jews is to streng
then the understanding and to com
bat the blasphemy and bigotry.
Living in Pakistan, where eighty-
five percent of the people live in
poverty and seventy percent are
illiterate, made Dr. Hyatt appreciate
the humanitarism of America. Be
cause of the religious hatred in
Pakistan, Dr. Hyatt came home
with an awareness of the gift of
religious freedom in America.
Americans, said Dr. Hyatt, have
accepted the brotherhood of man;
they are not trying to put the
“sacred teaching” into democracy.
There is a lack of understanding in
Asia of American democracy. For

Outgoing Officers Relate
:xperiences, Improvements
By Hannah Nicholson
With Student Government elec-
lons staring them in the face, the
'utgoing heads of organizations are
Pusy getting their committees in
ptder and preparing to hand over
their responsibilities to someone
new. This year has been full of
projects, activities, and changes.
nry Dameron, Student Govern-
nent President ; Ann Wilson,
.hairman of Judicial Board; and
Wn King, Student Government
Vice-President, took time out re-
cently to reflect on the past year—
'ts good and bad points.
One of the questions asked was,
what did you have the most prob-
•m with and how did you solve it?”
Can replied that “things have gone
pretty smoothly as far as assembly
concerned. The microphone was
little trouble but some experienced
electricians fixed that.”
The job of Student Government
.resident was no easy task, as
^ary Dameron quickly found out.
This year “there were rules to be
adapted for Gramley and ‘kinks’ to
iron
out of our procedure in Hanes”
^ary pointed out, as well as
problems to be solved with the
ook Store and Farmer's Dairy. In
il. this has been a very busy year
for Legislative Board and for Mary.
As she put it, “a tall Student Gov
ernment President in a school built
for small Moravians is bound to
experience some funny incidents!
For example: The microphones are
too low, I can’t get my legs under
the President’s desk in the Leg.
Board room, and I certainly can’t
sneak around!”
Could it be that the school’s most
serious committee is in reality one
of the funniest? There is a stand
ing joke at Judicial Board, accord
ing to Ann Wilson, about one house
president who comes to the meet
ings with her hair rolled up. It
seems she always has a date! Ann
also said it’s “humorous” when one
of the Board members has a case
before the Board.
Changes suggested for next year
ranged from improvement of the
Handbook, a wider variety of as
semblies, and better organization of
the Central School recreational pro
gram, to an increase of the sunbath
ing areas. Ann Wilson, however,
summed up most of the ideas by
saying that she could “think of no
major changes but there are always
many revisions, and that would be
my major suggestion—that we con-

Newly Elected Officers Describe
Plans, Hopes For Upcoming Year
By Connie Wessells
The staffs of The Salemite, Sights
and Insights, and Archway have
each selected new editors for 1966-
67. Heading the newspaper will be
Nancy Thomas; the yearbook, Flo
rence Pollock; and the literary
magazine, Lita Brown.
Nancy, a junior French major
from Charlottesville, is presently
The Salemite Feature Editor w'ith
three years on the paper as typist,
proofreader, and reporter. As the
new Editor-in-Chief, she plans to
clearly outline the duties of next
year s staff and to “lure” more
people into working.
With not only three year’s collage
publication work as staff member
and class editor of Sights and In
sights, but also high school experi
ence as yearbook editor, Florence is
already searching for a unique
theme for “her” annual. A junior
from New Bern, North Carolina,
Florence is majoring in biology and
chemistry. Her other campus acti
vities include membership in NSA,
Lablings, and The Salemite staff.
Lita’s aim next year will be “to
Seniors Acquire Practice
In Field Of Social Work
By Betsy Barnes
The senior Sociology majors at
Salem have been learning what so
cial welfare is all about. Mrs.
Gloria Hunter, a former social
worker, has been giving her class
doses of sociology in action.
Versatile Minor McCoy has been
teaching at the Salvation Army
Girls’ Club this semester. The Club,
run by two girls from the Recre
ation Department, is held every day
from 3:00-S :00 p.m. and at night
from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Children from
bad home situations are taught
basic skills and hobbies they’ve
never had a chance to learn. Minor
has just finished her work with the
glee club there and was delighted
to report that her girls were given
free movie passes for their perfor
mance at a local theatre’s kiddy
show. Currently she is working in
the area of crafts, teaching children
how to make little things for their
own enjoyment or their home’s
beautification.
If you’ve seen a little ten year
old girl running up and down the
halls of Bitting, don’t panic! Ann
King has enjoyed her work with
the Experiment in Self-reliance so
much that she’s making it a whole
day’s work. Her duties include
taking care of this child who lives
with nine other children and her
grandparents and has no idea of
how to take care of herself. Ann
brought her to Bitting to introduce
her to older girls and to teach basic
beauty aids such as how to braid
pigtails!
Also working with children are
Ann Ferguson and Cherry Causey
at the Y. W. C. A., Elinor Trexler
and Ross Clark tutoring at the In
dustrial Memorial School, and Judy
Gilliam and Gayle Remmey counsel
ing older children who have been
brought in by the Juvenile IHiit of
the Police Department.
Kitty Smith and Happy Price
have been working with more adult
problems at the Domestic Relations
Court. This work thus far has just
been to observe different cases
brought before the court.
Ann McKinnon has branched
out from home situations to work
with the agency helping handicaps.

make Archway known to the whole
student body as a rewarding outlet
for expression.” Lita, who is an
English major from Staunton, Vir
ginia, plans to initiate certain pro
jects including more publicity for
the magazine. She also hopes to
encourage enthusiasm for the Arch
way by presenting aw-ards at the
end of the year for the best work
submitted in the different cate
gories.
The election to these new posts
has created mixed emotions for
these girls. For Lita, the editor
ship will be “a challenge”; Florence
is anticipating “a lot of planning
and hard work,” while Nancy claims
she’ll need “all the help I can get.”
She will have a capable assistant in
Cara Lynne Johnson, newly elected
Associate Editor.
Despite a few inevitable doubts,
their goals are high : Lita is “look
ing forw'ard to working with the
student body to create an excellent
magazine;” Nancy “hopes to do a
good job and to maintain the quality
of The Salemite;” and Florence
wishes “to work with many girls in
producing one of the best Sight*
and Insights ever.”
