Honor Tradition Calls For
Pride, Trust Of Students
Each year more new students enter Salem. Since the basis of
existence at Salem is founded upon the Honor Tradition, it must
be assumed that those who choose to come here are at the same
time voluntarily choosing to abide by the Honor Tradition.
Realistically, although unfortunately for the entire college com
munity, there are times when one is forced to admit that some of
us are dishonorable. This is one of those times. Evidence? Steal
ing
9*
Any occurrance of stealing is detrimental to all Salem students.
It exemplifies that one of the most important deniands of our
Honor Tradition is not being respected, and this brings discredit
to all.
I UII*
A heavy responsibility necessarily accompanies the privilege of
living in a social environment constructed on reciprocal trust.
When a girl takes anything that does not belong to her she de
liberately violates this trust and the ramifications of her action are
felt by hundreds. The immediate victim of the stealing is not the
only one who suffers. Until the case is solved, suspicion is focused
on all. And suspicion usually has no trouble finding fertile soil
in which it can grow and spread, just as weeds do. Unchecked,
it can eventually contaminate and smother, as weeds do flowers,
the honor we have cultivated.
One of suspicion's capacities is its power to become a de
moralizing force which gnaws at the roots of class spirit, school
pride, and mutual trust. Can we allow the weeds to choke our
ideals?
Unbeknownst to the casual ob
server is a linear expanse of super
spy understructure, Needless to say,
this structure is all powerful, all see
ing, all knowing, and all over. In
short, its members are very astute
observers. It should be noted at
this point that each and every mem
ber of the organization, from high-
ranking officials to common labor
ers, is furnished with an astounding
amount of high intensity, inter
planetary, super sleuthey zap power,
such as high voltage scanner scopes,
armor-like encasement, and many
and multitudinous appendages and
assorted paraphenalia.
In order that you fully understand
the immensity of this understructure,
we shall present an example of one
of the more outstanding movers.
He’s got a keen eye, a cool head,
and a slippery body suitable for
slipping. To his cohorts in good and
evil he is frequently heard to ex
claim, “Take it easy greasy, you got
a long way to slide.” Officially en
dorsed as Humphrey, his intimates
call him Hum, and believe me, this
outstanding character has multitud
inous intimates. He smokes the of
ficial spy weed, Duke, which he af
fectionately calls Du. To implement
his safety in society Hum has de
veloped what he calls his wardrobe
cache. This consists of a hat, (ha),
coat, (co), trousers, (trou), shirt
(shi), socks, (so), belt, (be), and
shoes, (we).
That fateful night Hum put on
his best ha, co, trou, shi, so, be, not
to mention his we, and put a Du in
his mo and lit it and dropped the
ma on the gro and super sleuthed
the night away. Leaving the party,
he warbled, “Get off the floor, baby,
cause the walls are made of cement.”
Cope Reports On Chinese Dynasty;
Compares NationToOrwe! I’s Novel
By Hannah Nicholson
In the first of the Lecture Series’
attempts to reach more students by
scheduling lectures during assembly
periods, free-lance journalist Mi
chael Cope presented his first-hand
experiences and observations on
“China’s Latest Dynasty,” Wednes
day, October 19. By first giving a
general background of the events
leading to the Chinese revolution
and then citing specific examples of
life in China today, Mr. Cope pre
sented a vivid and almost frighten
ing picture. Judging from students’
and teachers’ comments after the
assembly and from new questions
which arose, I believe the lecture
shocked many people out of their
complacency and created a great
deal of interest in the present con
dition in Red China.
States. However, he added, the se
cond level of professional men are
almost equivalent to our high
By analogy. Cope compared
China today to George Orwell’s
1984. The state is supreme and
Mao is revered as a god. In an
informal talk with Mr. Cope, I
learned that Mao is essentially the
only god presently recognized in
China. He said that although
Christ and Budda are still hanging
around China, they are no longer
worshipped as before—in fact, these
religions have now been put under
the jurisdiction of the Ministry of
Culture.
In regard to schooling, Mr. Cope
cited examples of children singing
songs in adoration of Mao. When
When I asked him about
the ranking of her doctors, scien
tists, and top professional men, Mr.
Cope replied that they are among
the top men in their fields. Ironi
cally, he said, these men have been
educated in Russia, France, Canada,
England, and even the United

To make a long story short. Hum

the neighboring county fair whose

Furniture Market Shows
Diversity In New Style

High Point's fall furniture market showing which opened Friii
October 21, displayed a diverse selection of pieces, suited to ^
varying family requirements of today's society. The markel
only open to wholesale buyers and the press, not to the genii
public. It will be almost six months before this furniture will
on the open market.
Colors range from the subdued tones to the bright, outlanJ
shades; finishes vary from smooth and glossy to rough and lusl
less; textures are available in everything from leather to silk I
cades and deep velvet pile. Upholstered pieces come in all sho
and dimensions, custom made to fit both the buyer and the spi
The wide selection now being shown is explained by the
that designers are turning from interest in exact reproductions
masterpieces to a greater emphasis upon the atmosphere that
furnishings in a room create. Furthermore, today's designers
catering to a rich nation and a wealthy society on the whole.
American people know what type of furniture they want and
willing to pay for it.
Many pieces are being shown which have been designed
pecially for America's many mobile twentieth century fami
This furniture is styled so that it may be used equally wel
living rooms, dining rooms, halls, and bedrooms.
American Furniture Company of Martinsville, Virginia, is
phasizing impressively carved heavy furniture, stemming from
Italian Renaissance. Though they are still showing the standi
pieces, such as dining tables and chests, the stress is being pla
on the massive decorative furniture, like elaborately carved sei
taries. Oak is being used very much by Americans this year.
Heritage is showing many pieces for the hard-to-decoi
places. For example, tiny halls or areas where oblique walls
often difficult to furnish.
Besides a diversity of style, there is also a wide range vari
of prices to accommodate the American public. Fine furnituni;
included in every price range, suitable to the tastes of young m
ried couples as well as older couples with families. In the mi
expensive pieces a finer fabric is used and the lines seem ffl
graceful. This extra attention to minute details distinguishes
quisite furniture from all the rest.
The trend in furniture for 1966 is stimulating, exciting, ingi
ous, and possibly a little mad. It is keyed for America's f
moving, young-thinking generation. With this pace set at suci
high rate of speed, styles will most likely move farther and I
ther away from the older traditional styles. I

Winston Churches Schedu
Varied Activities, Program
By Susan Jones
Because of the various institutions
of higher learning here in Winston-
Salem, many of the local churches
have special programs for those of
college age, and Salemites are wel
comed throughout the city. Bus ser
vice is provided from Salem Square
to the morning worship services at
several of the downtown churches,
and church offices are extremely
helpful in arranging rides for other
features of the church program.
Among Winston-Salem churches
which plan especially for their col
lege students is Centenary Methodist
Church. This church has a college
class which meets at 9;45 a.m. on
Sunday mornings and which is
taught by Mrs. Peggy Rhodes. The
activities of this class are quite var
