Salem Attends Conference;
Reviews Honor Tradition
The value of overburdening the
Honor System, holding top secret
Judicial Board meetings, creating a
separate Honor Council, searching
rooms illegally, repeatedly stressing
Honor, and asking character wit
nesses to appear was only one area
that was considered, discussed and
debated at the Second Annual Con
ference on Honor Systems held at
the University of Virginia, April
22-23. Honor Council and Judicial
Board members from schools in the
Carolinas-Virginia region supported
and degraded their own systems in
an attempt to clarify misconcep
tions and to strengthen weak areas.
The University Association’s Dean,
T. Braxton Woody, presented his
school’s system in a keynote ad
dress. Among the points which he
stressed were no faculty interven
tion or action, and the limitation of
the Honor Code to only lying,
stealing and cheating.
Saturday brought three discussion
group periods and a lecture from
Hardy C. Dillard, Dean of the Law
School and member of the Inves
tigation Committee on the cheating
case at the Air Force Academy.
Salem’s four representatives; Jane
Grimsley, Sara Hunt, Nancy
Thomas and Ann Wilson went to
the groups designated for schools
with less than 1,000 students.
The discussion groups were di
vided into three segments; Honor
System Mechanics, Orientation and
Support and Trial Procedures;
however, several areas did not
apply to Salem. In many cases,
Salem’s system proved to be far
superior to others. Likewise, there
are instances in Salem’s system
which could be investigated for
change, rewording, or reemphasiz
ing.
The areas which seemed most
pertinent and valuable for Salem to
consider were the following: 1)
more emphasis on the election and
duties of Judicial Board fepresenta-
Students Show
Art Collection
A collection of works by students
of the Salem College art depart
ment is now on display in the Fine
Arts Center. The exhibit is called
"Non-Senior,” although it does in
clude some senior pieces. The
artists, students of Mr. Shewmake,
Mr. Mangum, and Miss Bennett,
include art majors, as well as stu
dents not majoring in art.
Several mediums appear such as
oil, pastels, and acrylic, a fast-dry
ing paint which goes on much like
oil. Also on exhibit are a number
of works by Mr. Shewmake’s grap
hics class. Of special interest is
Delphine Boyer’s impression made
from a photograph. The art de
partment encourages such experi
mental work as part of its emphasis
on individual creativity.
Art history students may recog
nize some of the paintings as copies
of works by great artists — Gior-
gionne, Manet, Cezanne, and others.

exercises in specific problems.

2) possibility of investigation com
mittee to relieve Judicial Board
members of being investigators,
jurors, and judges; 3) initiation of
character witnesses; 4) having
orientation period for upper class-
men ; 5) individual presentation of
Honor System to freshmen by Judi
cial Board members; 6) publication
of facts after a case; 7) extreme
secrecy on the part of Judicial
Board; 8) stress of acceptance of
Honor System on application form;
and 9) division of social regulations
and honor regulations (in other
words—unladylike conduct would be
classified as immoral rather than
dishonest).
This idea of overburdening the
Honor System was the central point
of Dean Dillard’s talk. He reported
that the Air Force cheating incident
was due to the fact that the values
of their Honor System were not
clear. In order to keep up with
the pressure of the institution the
cadets had consciously had to break
the Honor System.
In conclusion Dean Dillard
brought up a point which should
be vital to all Salem students. This
necessary aspect was that an effec
tive Honor Tradition should be
fully understood through the in
doctrination period and then should
need little reiteration afterward. He
concluded that in the end it is the

look at the three men around whom
the plans were centered. Two of
them were here for breakfast, and
were quick to reveal their first im
pressions. Dr. Hubbard: “Well, if
I’d known you had a rule about
rollers. I’d have kept mine in.” Mr.
Rose: “Uh, I believe I’ll just have
ice water, thank you.” Mrs. Hub
bard: “Is this what grits are?”
It was not until the opening ses
sion had begun that Dr. Roscoe
Martin arrived. The tardiness most
affected Sue Sue Britt, who had
sworn faithfully to the Symposium
Committee that a Piedmont plane
was never late. By the time Mr.
Rose had finished his address, the
three men were fast becoming
aware that they enjoyed each
other’s company. Dr. Hubbard
began punning on a word in Mr.
Rose’s message; Mr. Rose started
organizing a hootenanny for the
evening; Dr. Martin was remarking,
“Say anything you like in your in
troductory speech—but don’t men
tion my prison; record.” i Both of
the religion laymen rriarvelled at;
Mr. Rose’s rnovie, “The City of;
Necessity.”
At nine-thirty. Dr. Martin sat in
the Day Student Center surrounded
by admiring, inquiring students
while Mr. Rose sang and played
the guitar;, Therfs was an unusual
amount of- activity, in the, .faculty
lounge, when Dr. and Mrs. Hub
bard were attending ^ a surprise
birthday party: for two stpdents.
When it; canie time,- fqr discussion
groups on Friday, alL three men
had delivered their "messages. As
several groups merged to hear Mar
tin and Hubbard, ■ an exciting and
clever exchange took place between
the two. Hubbard : This euthanasia
business is sort of like junking your
auto. You ask the question,- ‘How
much has to be wrong with it?’ In
a common sense way, then, you
decide it’s time to trade.”
Martin: “As a man fast approach
ing maturity, I can’t say I’m too
excited about your analogy.”
Dr. Hubbard quickly replied that
it was different with a Rolls Royce;
it lasted forever. To this Dr,- Mar
tin said: “Ah, you're telling me
that if I were a Rolls Royce I
never, .would have . asked,” . ..
When Dr. Hubbard explained in
discussing birth control that people
should reproduce in' order -to sur
vive, Dr. Martin posed the question,
'“Is that good ?” ; The champion
; uhderstate'ment during' the 'session
was Dr. Hubbard’s comment,
“There’s actually not a- very big
market- for test tube babies.”
(Continued on page 4)
Q. “Were you surprised when you
found out you were a Scor
pion ?”
A. “Mighty.”
Q. "Well, just exactly what does
the Older do?”
A. "Uh . . ., uh . . .”
Q. “But why are you so secre
tive ?”
A. “Well, uh . . ., uh . . .”
These questions and answers
comprised the entire interview with
the two new members of the Order
of the Scorpion, Eleanor Lauck and
Dabney Kelley. Both of the girls
are rising seniors.
Dean Hixon made her biannual
announcement of the newly induc
ted students in Assembly on April
20. This announcement will be the
last to be heard about the Order
until the next time new members
are revealed.
The Order is an honorary group.
The girls are always juniors or
seniors. There are never more than
fourteen members. The purpose of
the Order is based on service to
Salem without any desire for re
ward or recognition for the in
dividual. These services may be
small and even unnoticed.
Dabney, as President of Student
Government, will undoubtedly add
much to the Order. In past years
she has participated in every acti
vity from WRA to Pierrettes. Any
one who has tried to do anything
in the auditoriums knows that it
would have been almost impossible
without Dabney in the midst of the
control booth. Although she ex
pects to have her hands full direct
ing the course of Salem next year,
she still hopes to do a little direct-
