Expert Talks
OfChemistry
Winston-Salem’s third seminar of
seven slated for the 200th anniver
sary celebration was held Tuesday,
April 19. A morning session at
Salem featuring Dr. Frederick Seitz
was followed by an afternoon de
livery by Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg on
Wake Forest’s campus. “Science,
and the Modern World’’ was the
seminar topic.
Dr. Seaborg, a Nobel Prize win
ner in chemistry in 19S1 and Chair
man of the Atomic Energy Com
mission, spoke on “Transuranium
Elements and their Impact on our
Lives.’’ Those elements are syn
thetically produced by nuclear
transmitation with uranium. He was
co-discoverer of eleven transuran
ium elements and over a hundred
isotopes.
Largely, highlights of the experi
mental methods used in his dis
coveries and prospects of future use
of the elements were discussed.
Plutonium, one of the most import
ant elements, forms a fissionable or
e.xplosive part of nuclear weapons.
It may be used as fuel for nuclear
power in the future.
The transuranium elements have
expanded the table of periodic ele
ments to 103 and the chance of dis
covering more elements may in
crease that number.

June 16 promises to be a red-
letter day for Susan Kelly and Su-
Su Britt. They, on board the M. S,
Oslo Fjiord, will be bound for the
University of Oslo, Norway.
Susan and Su-Su are the recip
ients of the scholarship which Cor-
rin Strong, Ex-Ambassador to Nor
way, left to be used to send two
Salem students to Oslo every sum
mer. Thrilled about the trip, Susan
exclaimed it is just wonderful to
dash over and have Mr. Hill, who
manages their finances, write all her
checks—and sign ’em!
In New York the girls will join
123 other young people who are
headed for summer studies at the
University. The boat trip wall last
eight days, and landing in Kristian-
sand, they will arrive in Oslo a day
later. Following registration on the
2Sth, classes will begin on Monday,
the 27th. During the six weeks at
the university, Susan and Su-Su will
room together, and both will take
courses in International Relations
from the Norwegian view point,
Norwegian Literature, and a survey
course of the culture. In addition,
Jean Ann Werner sings her way to stardom in talent show contest
sponsored by WGHP.
Jean Ann Werner Sings
For Prizes in Talent Show
Jean Ann Werner, senior from
Durham, North Carolina, sang her
way to victory in the Salem ’66
Talent Show Thursday, April 14, in
Hanes Auditorium. She was chosen
for first-place honors from among
nine contestants.
The show was humorously em
ceed by Lisa Mablcy, Talent Show
Committee Chairman. It was pre
sented in connection with WGHP
Television in High Point as part of
its inter-collegiate talent show and
documentary to be produced on
May 14 in the High Point College
Auditorium, Acts ranged from the
up-beat gyrations of the “Fringe
Benefits,” Bebe Anderson and
Eleanor Lauck, and their panto
mime of “Bop-Ting-a-Ling,” to the
moving Negro spiritual “Hallelujah”
sung by freshman Joan Elder. Ori-
Susan will study Norwegian Music
and Su-Su will study the history of
the country. Much to their joy, all
courses are in English, and the
hours will transfer. Susan wishes
she had known that two years ago!
While on the boat, they will room
with a girl from Pueblo, Colorado.
Certainly nothing has been forgot
ten, for orientation will be held en
route on the boat.
Neither could be more excited
about the fabulous trip, but both
are worried about gaining weight.
“It’s just those scrumptious past
ries!” Already having stocked up
on dramamine, Su-Su is prepared
for getting seasick. On week-ends
they plan to make many trips
around the country. Everything
seems to be all set except for
Susan’s passport, which as of yet
does not exist.
When the girls get out of school
on August 6, they plan to tour Eu
rope and see Italy, France, Ger
many and Greece. Su-Su especially
looks forward to going to Athens
and Rome and hopes that will help
her with her Latin major.
Symposium Lecturers
Talk On ’Techonopolis”
At 10 ;30 Thursday morning Salem
College students, administration,
faculty and alumnae gathered to
hear Mr. Stephen C. Rose address
the Symposium. Mr. Rose’s ad
dress, Religious Dimensions in a
New Metropolis, was based on his
experience as editor of Renewal, a
magazine published by the Chicago
City Missionary Society, and his
added experience of living in Chi
cago. His address was followed by
a discussion Thursday evening based
on the influences of city life upon
faith and contemporary religious
trends.
Thursday evening, April 21, at
7:30 p.m.. Dr. Roscoe C. Martin
spoke at Salem’s Second Annual
Symposium. Dr. Martin, Professor
of Political Science at Maxwell
Graduate School of Citizenship and
Public Affairs, Syracuse University,
is a well known writer in his field.
His most recent work is Water for
New York, published in 1960.
His address, entitled Government
in an Urban Age, was followed by
a panel discussion, “What are the
Respective Responsibilities of Na
tional, State, and Local Govern
ments in an Urban Age?” and
“How May these be Discharged?”
Dr. William Neal LIubbard ad
dressed the Symposium at 9 a.m.
Friday morning. The address.
Human Biology and Medical Ethics,
proved to be an interesting one for
all.
Dr. Hubbard is an outstanding
man in his field of internal medi
cine. He is Dean of the University
of Michigan School of Medicine
and a recognized figure. The Uni
versity of North Carolina School of
Medicine saluted him r\dth the pre
sentation of the Distinguished Ser
vice Award. His address provoked
great interest during the panel dis
cussion held Friday.
These three men, each eminent in
his field, have made Salem’s Sym
posium a period of mental, and
sometimes emotional, stimulation.
Techonopolis: Trends in Modern
Society was indeed an interesting
subject.
ginality showed up somewhere as in
SuSu Pye’s interpretation of
“Mountain Gal” and Judy Cubber-
ly’s blues version of “Cornet Man.”
The “Archways” were there to
bring tears with a medley of
“Stranger in Paradise” and “More.”
The dreaming did not last long,
however, for the audience was jolted
into laughter by the surprise ending
of Becky Porterfield’s folk song,
“Whistle, Daughter, Whistle.” Mrs.
Drummond’s influence showed up
in the dance interpretation of the
theme from “West Side Story” pre
sented by four freshmen: Hillary
Masters, Patty Waller, Mopsey
Stoneburner and Anne Plyler. To
change the pace once more Jean
Anne Werner presented an out
standing rendition of the humorous
song “Second-Hand Rose.” New
comers to the field of show business,
a group called the “Windowpanes”
composed of Peggy Hart, Liza
Pond, Mary McCormick and Lillian
Young captured the audience with
the Yiddish folk song popularized
by Joan Baez, “Donna.”
The judges retired to compare
notes and decide upon the winner.
They were Fred Barber and Pat
Gilbreath of WGHP who were as
sisted by Lvo other people from the
studio. While they deliberated, the
audience requested that the “.'Vreh-
ways” give an encore. The judges
returned shortly a n d Lisa an
nounced that the second-place win
ners were the “Archw'ays.” The
group consisting of Linda Camp,
Carol Ann Derflinger, Bradley Car
penter, Kathie Carpenter, Sheila
Fogle and Charlotte Key received
25 dollars and a big round of ap
plause from the audience. The audi
ence seemed to be in complete
agreement with the judges when it
was announced that the winner was
Jean Anne Werner. She received
35 dollars and wall have a chance
to compete for an all-expenses-pail
trip to New York for an ABC audi
tion and to win a $.500 scholarship
grant for Salem. Jean Anne will
compete with winners of similar
talent shows from fifteen colleges
