Some changes in the Refectory's serving hours became effective on Wednesday, January 11. The fact that breakfast is now being served on weekdays from 7:30-8:30 a.m., rather than from 7-8:30 a.m., is a source of worry to some students. They fear that the crowd will prove too large during the first half-hour and that stu dent teachers and those who have class at 8 will not have enough time to eat. The threat of having to wait in line is discomforting to those who like to breakfast early and quickly. Yet, whatever problerns are encountered in connection with cafeteria style eating serve lO emphasize the relatively tranquil atmosphere of the seated meals. Although the latter method offers the student no selection of foods, it does make unnecessary any waiting. Many colleges and universities do not offer to serve any seated meals. At these schools, a hurried line is an expected mealtime accompaniment. If the shorter breakfast hour causes confusion then this may serve to strengthen the acceptance of family style meals. If no problems occur, then it may demonstrate the desir ability of adopting all cafeteria style meals. Boy, I really needed the rest Christmas vacation brought me. Why, all those cars fishtailing and scratching off on my streets are enough to give me a heart attack. I hate to admit it, but I was almost glad to see my girls go home for awhile. However, New Year’s Eve was awfully quiet here and that’s no way to spend New Year’s, so I was ready for all of you to hurry up and get back. Yes, girls, your old Square really missed you. I was so glad to see a new year hasn’t changed you. You’re still as exciting, loud, and spirited as ever. In fact, I often wonder where you girls get your energy. I saw Susan Klocko over in Clewell taking EVERYTHING out of Nancy Richardson and Sarah Ulmer’s room Saturday afternoon and then I heard Sarah’s scream when she opened her door. I still haven’t figured out exactly where Susan put all that mess! Saturday night I was checking to see that everything was in order when I noticed a great deal of acti vity up on third floor of Clewell. Paige French, Bevie Carter, and .Alice Lupton were treating Lind say McLaughlin to a cold shower. It seems they’re certain Lindsay will get married one day. Oh I Speaking of water, were you around when the bathtub on first floor Gramley overflowed ? I really enjoyed that one! Ann Flaas told me before Christ mas that Kathie Carpenter, Chris Conner, Marilyn Lowery, and Peggy McPherson had discovered that certain something which causes boys to surrender their fraternity pins. However, it seems they still have one small flaw to iron out in their system, since there haven t as yet been any changes in their situ ations. Knowing their resourceful ness, I have no doubt they will suc ceed and then think of the damage my girls will be able to do! ^ Brandon Rogers still hasn t re covered from her episode in Decem ber at East Carolina. Poor gal really felt silly after chasing a car she thought was her friend’s. That strange man didn’t know what to think when she jumped in his car. My friends in Bitting brought back a Twister game. There was some embarrassment when two girls ’dates came in unexpectedly and found two other girls in very awkward positions. However, after a short time, the girls couldn’t get the boys away! Nice date, Sheila ? Kathie ? I noticed Dr. Edwards growth. It’s hard to call it a beard yet but it’s beginning to look more like it might be one. With Mr, Mangum and Dr. Edwards setting the pre cedent, I predict Mr. Surratt soon look even more like Abri Lincoln and Dr. Clauss win more like his namesake, j. Don’t they know the beard'-grt" contest for the bicentennial last year? Nancy Richardson didn’t any trouble remembering the r of her dates this weekend.

I THINK I C.AN Cf^ OF QsOlNC, 10 VaNPt«- £ API E M , C HA R Lit WtiUlM IF Nou'Lu mis VtTTfcR FofL ^ By Beverly Brookshire It seems that Santa was awfully good to Salemites over Christmas^— three seniors and two juniors re turned with diamonds, “a girl’s best friend” indeed! Also, Santa’s pre- Christmas “dividends” paid off for three of our girls. Lillian Young will meet Larry Hewitt, a law stu dent at Wake Forest, at the altar in June. Mary Ella Haller traded in Wiley Wooten’s pin for a dia mond, and senior Mollie Welch re ceived her “sparkler” from Bobby Rascoe. Jill Stewart and Smitty Flynn, President of the Kappa Sigs at Wake, announced their engagement at a dinner party in Charlotte, Jan uary 1. Both will graduate this year, and have planned a June wed ding. -Also engaged are Hunter Gour- don and Andy Corbett, a law stu dent at Wake who is a member of Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity. Bretta Barrs’ engagement ring did quite a bit of traveling before it was hers to keep. Since Tom ■Arthur, her fiance, was far away in -Army OCS in Missouri, her father had gotten the ring and given it to Bretta. When Bretta met Tom at the airport, she had handed it over to him. Tom, of course, im mediately returned it to her, and it looks as if she’ll hang on to it for a while now. Pam Jordan returned engaged to Barry Stallings, and Nancy Sale and Ted Howell, a Phi Belt at Davidson, are awaiting an August wedding. Suzan Mathews exchanged her Sigma Nu pin for a lavalier—taking a back seat to her pinmate’s “little brother,” perhaps? Bill Vehne- kamp, a senior at Sewanee, was somewhat compelled to supply his little brother with a pin to wear during fraternity initiation.

Many educators are in an uproar over the freshman's i to write a clear, logical, grammatically correct sentence, protesting that "most of my students in freshman English have virtually no high school training in writing," Professor Albert haber of the University of Oregon adds, "Using the right form is like using the right fork." Glamour agrees with him; a hard, cold fact: dangling earrings can't hide a dangling [» ciple; Jax can't camoflage faulty syntax; and even a double tini is no excuse for a double negative." But salvation appears to be near. Another progressive u ment is sweeping the nation as a rebutal to the Dewey sysli Children are now being allowed to learn grammar rules asl learn to write, rather than by memorizing grammar from Hart backwards and forwards before ever writing. Teachers are couraging their students to analyze their own work and the one another in order to see how faulty spelling, punctuation, diction con cause a breakdown in communication. Perhaps new system will prevent another generation of "mini-brains Glamour magazine tags today's college students) from havie learn rules and more rules before they can put them into pf® use. This cartoon is o reprint from The Gospel According to Peanuts, by Robert L. Short. Whether this anti-Dewey movement is the solution or not mains to be seen. If it fails, as the Dewey system of the H did, let us who suffered under one "progressive trend" not cril those whom we taught under another. Source: Are you a Mini-Brain?" Glamour, January, 1967, p Teachers Name Graduate’s Opportunities Civic Music T By Ann Haas Salem’s language professors a- greed that opportunities for langu age majors are varied. Richard Williams first warned students to be realistic about their prospective careers. He felt that the possibility of a language major’s becoming a translator upon graduation from college is poor, as most translators are bilinguals at an early age. He pointed out that there are oppor tunities in the area of Foreign Ser vice, but that a liberal arts educat ion, including area and social stud ies, as well as economics, would better qualify a person than a lan guage major per se. He recommend ed the junior year abroad program, since he felt that a person learns to speak a foreign language by be ing in an environment with its na tives. But practically and realistic ally, he felt that a bilingual secret arial job is a language major’s best bet. It offers executive experience, travel, and a good salary. He conceded that most language majors teach after graduation, and pointed out that their students are select, since a language is usually an elective. He also said there are places in the business world for language majors. Companies fre quently hire employees on the basis of a Bachelor’s degree, rather than their subject major, and then give their employees practical training in a special area. The employee’s college major helps him later, after he establishes himself in the com pany. Mary Melvin felt that the govern ment is looking for people with a knowledge of foreign people and their civilizations, in order to hire them for research areas. She also mentioned the possibility of being with the government abroad, but said that such jobs are hard to come by. Most jobs there would not in volve extensive use of the language, and would not be profitable, al though they would be good exper ience. At home, she thought that a foreign language could be useful in York. Michel Bourquin also took the negative approach as far as a lang uage student’s going abroad and s_^eeing the country as a secretary, buch positions are limited, and nat urally the economy of the country involved dictates that one of its own citizens should be hired if (Continued on page 3) Give Sympho The Chamber Symphonyoi^ delphia will present a pro? music in Reynolds Memona torium on Thursday, JanW/ 8:30 p.m. The Symphony®'’ thirty-six picked players, complement of strings, brass and percussion.
