Volume XLVIII Salem College, Winston-Salem, N. C., Friday, October 21, 1966 Number 1 1 Oslo Scholars Lead Vietnamese War Analysis The responsibility of the student :o ibe informed as a citizen of the Jnited States of happenings in the vorld was emphasized by Salem’s :wo Oslo Scholars in an informal iiscussion last Wednesday, October 12. The evening program sponsored )y iNSA was held in the Day Student Zenter for interested students to rear Sue Sue Britt and Susan Kelly speak about foreign students’ opin- ons of American policy in Viet Nam. rhe gathering enabled students to receive first-hand observations from the two girls about their summer studies in Norway, and also to ask them questions. The impressions the scholars pre sented were mainly the product of their participation in an internation al :relations course. Their opening comments stemmed from a discus sion of some of the viewpoints their professor had expressed. The girls had been impressed mainly by the fact that he could not see a basis for America’s great fear of Com munism since America is such a large nation and this enemy is a mere ideology. Europeans as a whole, living as they do located next door to Russia, were unable to un derstand this western conception. In the course. Sue Sue and Susan were among an international group of students that included some in terested adults, i.e. foreign ambass adors, as well as young people. They summarized the attitudes of West ern Europeans as being sympathe tic with the United States in its policies in Southeast Asia, but not in complete agreement. The Asian and African impression toward United States foreign policy was ex pressed in the context that these masses could not understand Am erican practices, and therefore were not able to support them. Foremost from their classroom experiences within this diversely cultured group, the Salemites found that they felt inadequate in their knowledge of “the facts” about American diplomacy with which they could defend their own ide ology. Europeans all seemed to be informed and up-to-date in inter national happenings and in compar ison, the girls felt apart from them in this respect. In general, how ever, a minority of the class were dogmatic in expressing themselves, and, in turn, this group experience must be regarded as a limited rep resentation of a very small sampl ing of the huge realm of inter national interaction. Mr. AchesonTo Speak On Campus Giving Current U.S. World Policies A tall, handsome, internationally famous statesman whose charm and quick wit make him a campus favorite will give an up-to-date ac count of “.America’s Commitment in World Affairs,” at 8 p.m., Octo ber 27 in the Salem Fine Arts Cen ter. The speaker. Dean Acheson, was the unanimous choice of the Com mittee on Lectures and Seminars commemorating the 200th Anniver sary of Winston-Salem. Wallace Carroll, editor and pub lisher of the Winston-Salem and Twin-City Sentinel, who is person ally acquainted with Acheson de scribed him as a great personality who, despite his active part in world affairs, is keenly interested in young people, especially college students. To assure that there will be time for him to visit college campuses, Acheson reserves at least a couple of months each year for this pur pose. Another evidence of his interest in young people is that he is readily accessible in his Washington, D.C., office to students working on their thesis who want to ask him quest ions about world affairs. Mrs. Carroll will entertain at a luncheon at the Forsyth Country Club in honor of Mrs. Acheson. Guests will include M-rs. Robert McCuiston who was a schoolmate of Mrs. Acheson at Wellesley Col lege, of which both are graduates. While her husband has gained fame in many fields, Mrs. Acheson has become widely known as a pain ter, both in oils and water colors.

Several other persons in the Winston-Salem community have been drafted for the remaining roles.

Since this topic is of eminent im portance, Salem College had for its first speaker of the Lecture Series journalist Michael Cope, who pre sented a talk on “China’s Latest Dynasty.” Michael Cope, a free-lance journalist, spoke in assembly on Wednesday, October 19.

Mr. Edwards has also worked with drama groups in this area and was featured in '‘Guys and Dolls.” Mike Britt, a freshman at Wake Forest has been cast as the older Henry Antrobus. He is the brother of Sue Sue Britt, a junior here at Salem. Edwin Shewmake and Michel Bourquin were selected from the ranks of the faculty for the roles of the blind poet Homer, and the Doc tor, respectively. Mr. Shewmake is an associate professor of art and Mr. Bourquin is a French instruct or. To complete the family Wilder established in his drama are four children whose parents are faculty members. Eleanor Karnes stars as the younger Gladys An trobus. Her mother, Mris. Lucia Karnes, is assistant professor of ed ucation. Two Mangum children (whose father is William G.

Dean Acheson, former Secre tary of State, will speak in Hanes Auditorium at 8 p.m. on October 27. Her paintings hang in numerous modern art galleries and private homes. The Carrolls have two of them: “Lake Como” in Italy and “Lake Geneva” in Switzerland. President Johnson frequently seeks advice from Acheson, as did Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy. His advice is sought also by foreign statesmen in high posit ions, especially leaders in NATO countries. Acheson, who was Secretary of State from 1949 until 1953, after holding subordinate posts in the Treasury and State Departments, has had an important part in shap ing affairs. He had a major role in the conception of the Marshall Plan, creation of the North Atlantic Al liance, raising of the Soviet siege of Berlin, establishment of the United Nations, and organization of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. The latter two have made expansion of World Trade possible since World War II. While Mr. and Mrs. Acheson are in Winston-Salem they will be guests of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll who knew them while Mr. Carroll was in Washington, D.C., with the New York Times. Acheson has also achieved suc cess as an author. His most recent book is Morning and Noon. The memoir begins with his youth and continues through his experiences in the Nation’s Capital between the two World Wars. It has been de scribed as “very charming” and is as popular with young people as adults. His other books, covering a wide range of interests include A Citizen Looks at Congress, A Democrat Looks at His Party, Power and Diplomacy, and Sketches from Life of Men I Have Known. Sociology Courses Offer Many Interesting Activities The Sociology Department has embarked on another busy year of activities. Most of the courses offer such added attractions as guest speakers, field trips, and projects. Robert Wendt’s class in The Community has four very interesting projects in the making. They are studying different aspects of com munity life at Salem College. The topics are (1) leisure-time usage by the students, (2) shopping practices of the dorm students, (3) the meal time eating habits of the students concerning the refectory, student center, etc., and (4) smoking pre ferences of the students. These should be interesting studies and no doubt will produce a lot of per tinent information. The participating girls would appreciate a little co operation from the student body when they begin these surveys—be sides, it should be a lot of fun! The Senior Class in Social Work, also conducted by Mr. Wendt, has taken some very interesting and en lightening field trips this semester. They have visited the Red Shield Boys’ Club, the Red Cross, the Goodwill Industries, and the Kim berly Park Recreation Center. Very interesting explanations about the organization and operation of the service organizations have been given. The students have also been taken on conducted tours of the organizational facilities. The trips are very beneficial to the student by, first of all, acquainting her with all the aid and assistance being of fered in the community of Winston- Salem, and secondly, introducing to these students possible vocational in terests for future reference. As the year goes on, these, as well as many other interesting ac tivities, will continue to be carried on in the Department of Sociology. Film Shows Arts Of Middle Ages The color film entitled “Art of the Middle Ages” was shown dur ing assembly, October 14. The film attempted to give an under standing of the medieval world through a study of art work of the jferiod found in six major medieval cathedrals of France. The thirty-minute pictorial, nar rated by John Canady, tours these cathedrals while explaining along the way the symbolism of the archi tectural and sculptural style. Con sidered in its entirety, the medieval cathedral presents a visible sum mary of the philosophical and intel- lectural world of the Middle Ages.
