important - in this world to be over-
Speaking on “America’s Committ-
lent in World Affairs,” former Sec-
etary of State Dean Acheson ad-
ressed citizens and students of
Vinston-Salem and other nearby
ffles on the evening of October 27
1 Hanes Auditorium. The world
ip'lomat and statesman captivated
he capacity audience with his al-
lost English mannerisms, his sense
f humor, his mastery of the under-
tatement, and his charm. He was
ne in a series of speakers brought
olthe Twin City by the 200th An-
liversary Lectures and Seminar
loinmittee.
After being introduced by Wallace
larroll, editor and publisher of the
Vinston-Salem Journal and Sentinel,
dr. Acheson began to reveal his his-
ory and the vastly important part
le has played in the formation of
he United States’ foreign policy.
5yisumming up 350 years in approx-
tnately forty-five minutes, he told
he audience “why we are here and
low we got to this place.’
From the seventeenth century to
Vorld War I, the center of power
n [Europe shifted from France to
i^many. America, after its found-
ng, was aided, but not interfered
vifh, by the Europeans. The first
Vorld War, however, changed all
his. Empires had destroyed each
ither; Mr. Acheson referred to this
is "a European civil war. In Asia the
apanese were already preparing to
ake over China.
At the end of World War II the
itage was set for the shift of world
lontrol from Europe to America,
iurope was starving; Britain was
jarikrupt, and France, Italy, and
jffimany were nearly so; the skill-
id laborers had no jobs; and the
>oual classes still fought among
ih^mselves. The situation was not
iny better in Asia. Three and a half
nillion Japanese had to be moved
)ut of China; the Russians were
dready determined not to cooperate
vith anyone; Chiang Kai-Shek was
iemanding that his control spread
lorth of the Yellow River.
The United States has met with
3oth success and failure in its pro
grams since that time. Europe was
protected from Communism and
rebuilt to become the second largest
produedon center in the world. Al
though efforts to make China a
friendly power have failed, Japan
is one of our staunchest allies.
Acheson summed up the world
situation of the last few years by
saying that “many of our troubles
are troubles of success.” But he also
added that “we are too great - too
whelmed by problems . . .We
have no alternative except to go
forward.”
While answering the questions
that followed his lecture, the for
mer Secretary of State disclosed
some surprising opinions of his own.
He feels that the admittance of
China to the U. N. “doesn’t make
too much difference.” The U. S.
won’t recognize China and China
won’t recognize us. Because the
problems in this area are political,
the main worry is what the situation
can become.
Much emotionalism has been mis
spent in Africa. Acheson is a firm
believer in white rule until such
time as the Africans are organized
enough to rule themselves. “Be
fore it is possible to develop any
thing anywhere, there must be a
firm basis of order.”
As in Africa, the possibility of
South America’s becoming a world
power is hindered by government.
The bigger nations will not allow
the younger, smaller countries to
maintain simple forms of rule. Be
cause many of the best minds are in
the military, politicians hinder any
progress.
Asia, too, needs discipline. The
Marshall Plan that revitalized Eur
ope would not work there. Asia
needs to learn how to feed its people
and how to manage money wisely
before it can even think about fol
lowing such a plan.
Mr. Acheson spent four months
trying to resolve the Cyprus crisis.
He is in favor of uniting Cyprus
and Greece but giving the north
west peninsula to Turkey.
His answer to the question of
what action the U. S. should take
toward De Gaulle brought laughter.
“I should say none. Let the French
worry about it. They aren t telling
us to get rid of Johnson.”
When asked about the future of
the U. N. Mr. Acheson replied,
“Open diplomacy is a horror.” He
sees it as a humble organization
whose informality is somewhat use
ful. However, he points out the idea
that a newly formed nation having
as much voting power as the U. S.
is the cause of the U.. N. ’s ineffect
iveness.
Mr. Acheson fully expects China
to become a greater nuclear power
than France or Great Britain. A
non-proliferation treaty will not
work.
On the question of military aid,
however, his answer was complex.
He is neither for nor against its re-

(I to r) Peggy Booker, Tripp Tote, Kothie Carpenter, Linda Moore, Manlyn Lowry, and Ann Mc-
Master display happy smiles after learning of their selection to the Order of the Scorpion.
The organization is the Order of
the Scorpion; its purpose is service
to Salem, and its members are se
lected on the basis of leadership,
honor, and love of Salem. The mem
bers are selected from the Junior
and Senior classes and the number
never exceeds fourteen. Last Wed
nesday, November 2, Dean Hixon
announced six new members of the
Order. ' |
Three of these new members come
from the Senior class. They are
Peggy Booker, Ann McMaster and
Tripp Tate.
Peggy is a music major here at
Salem. She is studying piano and
plans to go to graduate school for
her Masters degree in music. Peggy

the award-winning State Student
Legislature representation from Sal
em and as vice-president of the
Senior Class. She has also played a
big part in the class of 67’s Found
ers Day music for the past four
years. Last summer Peggy put her
music talent to work here on cam
pus during the Governor’s School
rather than going home to Selma.
Ann McMaster, who is from
Charleston, West Virginia, has had
a busy year as President of the
Senior Class. Ann is majoring in
Latin with a minor in French. As
to plans after graduation, Ann has
three choices. She wants to either
put her secondary teaching cer
tificate to use by teaching or at
tend graduate school for further
study in Latin or work in France.
In past years at Salem, Ann has
been active in SSL, Y Cabinet and
served as house president of Gram-

The third new Senior member is
Tripp Tate from Mobile, Alabama.
Tripp is perhaps best known on
campus for her work in Pierrettes.
She has done lighting, worked on
other technical aspects of producing
a play and this year is President of
Pierrettes. Because of her work in
this organization, Tripp is a mem
ber of the Harlequins, an honorary
organization for those doing 60
hours of work on two consecutive
Pierrettes productions. This sum
mer she worked with a theatre group
in New York. Her Sophomore year
Tripp served as hall president in
Babcock and she has also been very
active in the Senior Class Founders
Day productions. Tripp is majoring
in history and minoring in English.
She plans to do graduate work in
history.
The three new Junior members
are Marilyn Lowry, Linda Moore,
and Kathie Carpenter.
Marilyn, a math major from
Charlotte, is presently serving as
Secretary of Judicial Board. She is
also working on a French minor
and a secondary certificate. She
plans to teach high school after
graduation. Her freshman year
Marilyn was class secretary and
last year was kept busy as house
president of Clewell.
Linda Moore, who is from Reids-
ville, divides her time between the
Science building and Main Hall
with a biology major and an English
miner. After graduation she plans
to either teach or perhaps attend
graduate school. Last year Linda
was hall president in Gramley and
this year is Secretary of Student
Government.
Kathie Carpenter is active in many
phases of life on campus. She has
worked with SSL, is a representat
ive to NSA, writes for the Salemite,

Authority On Indian Art
Dr. R. J. Havighurst To Speak
Of Education In Needy Society
Education can be said to be ele
ments which supplement a man’s
search for an understanding of his
world. Dr. Robert J. Havighurst,
a widely recognized authority on
phases of education, particularly
educational psychology, will speak
on "Education in Emergent So
ciety” in assembly on November 9
at II a.m. The topic was selected
by the college lecture committee
since it is of interest to faculty,
administrators, and college students.
Dr. Havighurst has held many
varied honors and offices. Pre
sently, he is Professor of Education
at the Llniversity of Chicago. He
has previously been Associate Pro
fessor of Education, Chemistry, and
Phycics at Harvard, the Universities
Dr, Robert J. Havighurst
of Missouri, Miami, Wisconsin, and
Ohio State. Positions which he has
held include Assistant Director for
general education. General Educa
tion Board (Rockefeller Founda

Government Center Education Re
search. While in Brazil, Dr. Ha
vighurst aided an economic im
provement program through the
usage of education. Under socio

Among Dr. Havighurst’s varied
interests is writing. He is the
author of many books, of which the
most recent is “The Educational

A valuable addition to the Win
ston-Salem scene and to the insti
tutions of higher learning here is
Dr. R. S. Gupte who also contributes
to the Salem College curriculm. In
addition to his instruction. Dr. Gupte
presented an assembly lecture en
titled “Indian Art” on Wednesday,
November 2. Dr. Gupte is well-qual
ified in this area as well as in other
fields, as his background indicates.
In the process of his education.
Dr. Gupte received his M.A. degree
from Bombay University and his
Ph.D degree from Marathwada Uni
versity in India. He has been teach
ing for eighteen years and is Chair
man of the Department of History
at Marathwada University. Present
ly Dr. Gupte is teaching Indian art
courses at Wake Forest, Salem, and
Winston-Salem State College. His
academic program here differs from
his responsibilities in India; there
he only meets classes twice weekly,
deals only with graduate students,
and is responsible for research pro
jects every three months. Two of
his books have been published, and
the first volume of his third work.
The Art of the Chalukyas, will ap
pear in print in January.
The entire book of The Art of the
Chalukyas deals with rock and
structural temples in various locat
ions in India. However, the first
volume deals specifically with the
temples of Aihole. Dr. Gupte gained
art experience in his examination
of the temples at Aihole by having
details photographed and by record
ing his observations on a dictaphone.
Any discrepancies that he found in
his comments were checked by ad
ditional visits to this significant
location for a closer examination of
the structures.
Generally commenting on Indian
art. Dr. Gupte noted the contrast
ing religious influence in Western
and Indian art. The spirituality of
Indian art is viewed in the attempt
to portray God’s wisdom and power;
thus, in Indian art God is pictured
as having extra limbs or an ad-
