t ^endt Leaves For Year
abatical Study In Atlanta
By Edith Allen
The Sociology Department is los-
ng Robert Wendt for a year of
labatical study at Emory Univer-
;ity in Atlanta, Georgia. Although
lis curriculum is still pending fur-
her consideration, he plans to do
■efresher study along academic
ines. Complimenting his courses
it the University will be his work
vith the Crime Prevention Bureau
5f(the Atlanta Police Department.
Mr. Wendt has done considerable
vork in cooperation with the Win-
iton-Salem Police Department, most
■ecently in relation to the neighbor-
idod center projects. These pro-
ects are an attempt to establish a
:enter in poverty areas of the city
vhere the aid of public and private
velfare agencies can be made avail-
ible to the people on a regular
Dasis. A policeman is placed in
:hese areas to live in order to iden-
;ify himself with the inhabitants
ind thereby promote confidence
imong these people toward the pre
lection and concern of the law.
rhese policemen help instigate pro
grams of recreation and community
idvancement.
|rhis program was started in Win-
>ton-Salem upon example of a simi-
ar program established in Atlanta.
f)n the other hand, however, the
Atlanta department is interested in
;he newly begun crime prevention
iysteni in Winston-Salem. Win
ston-Salem’s program differs from
ihat of Atlanta by its use of a pre-
iminary officer training session of
several weeks spent in technical
preparation of the officers for the
kind of work and areas to which
they were assigned. Atlanta had
placed her department on the
streets almost immediately.
As a result of his leave of absence
Mr. Wendt will often be en route
between Atlanta and Winston-
Salem to see his family. He will
also be in regular contact with the
police departments of both cities to
further the exchange of ideas and
strategy concerning these new pro
grams of crime prevention.
Taking Mr. Wendt’s place until
his return will be Joel W. Sanders
of Pfeiffer College.

For Civic Music
The Civic Music Association pre
sented John Alexander, Metropoli
tan Opera tenor, at Reynolds Me
morial Auditorium on April 16.
Alexander maintained an amiable
smile before the large number of
empty seats and gave two encores
to the unresponsive audience. With
his third bow the audience began
to disappear.
During the program Alexander, a
former Duke Medical student,
beamed as he commented, “I can’t
tell you how it feels to be in North
Carolina. It’s like coming home
again.”
The concert selections by the
artist varied from three aria’s by
Puccini to English folk songs. Three
French songs. Voyage to Paris, and

activities of the Student Govern
ment. She stated that although the
road ahead seems straight and
smooth, there are sharp curves and
unexpected obstacles. By setting
the goals far along this road and
by cooperating together these goals
will be met. The success of next
year at Salem depends on each stu
dent. “Love and Service are our
generators. Enthusiasm is our fuel.
Let’s never run out of gas!”
Marilyn Lowery, a junior from
Charlotte, plans to “make a distinc
tion between rules that come under
the Honor System and rules that
are made for necessity” as new
Chairman of Judicial Board. Sara
Hunt, Secretary of Judicial Board
reflects Mary Alice’s ideas of unity

Archways Present Varied Concert;
Sing Old Favorites, N ew Numbers
Edward came out of his usual habitat, the science labora-
o speak to Salemites in Assembly this morning on 'The Role
netics in Future Man".
By Mary Stearns
Well, the long-awaited happening
has finally come and gone, and it
may be a while before the student
body is strong enough to withstand
another Archway concert. These
girls are so enthusiastic about their
singing that the hysteria they pro
mote is all but contagious.
But first it may be necessary to
introduce the six-plus-one group in
dividually. Elder statesman for the
girls is soft-spoken Kathie Carpen
ter, without whose knowledge of the
Italian language Al-Di-La would
hardly have been the same. Other
“old folks” in the group are Sheila
Readers Give
Thurber Humor
FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, AND
SEX—the title of a new poetry an
thology ? In reality—no, but Thur
ber suggests this possibility, and the
cast of this year’s Readers’ Theater
succeeded in making one consider it.
On the nights of April 19 and 20,
Carol Carson, Anna Kitchen, Lee
Torrence, Joanie Lukens, Sharlee
Shouse, Catherine Boyer, Ruthie
Everette, and Donetta George pre
sented A Thurber Carnival, several
short selections from the works of
humorist, James Thurber. Dressed
in black, the girls were seated be
hind a knee-guard decorated with
pictures of “Snoopy-like” dogs.
Effective props and sound effects
also contributed to the performance.
The selections from Thurber’s
works included: “The Night the Bed
Fell,” “Three Fables for Our Time,”
“Macbeth Murder Mystery,” and
“Mister Preble Gets Rid of His
Wife.”
After the performance, the audi
ence entertained various thoughts.
. . . maybe to “reread Macbeth?”
The South would have won the war
“if Grant had been drinking?” And
last but not least, “don’t count your
boobies until they are hatched.”
ANNOUNCEMENT
Peggy Hart will present her So
phomore Recital Monday, April 24,
at 7:1S p.m. in Shirley Recital Hall.
She will play Bach’s Prelude and
Fugue in C Major WTC II, Bloch’s
Poems of the Sea, Beethoven’s Con
certo No. 1, in C Major, First
Movement, and twelve Preludes by
Chopin.
P Fogle, Randy Chastain, and Julie
Johnson; and one gains the impres
sion that Bitting has some sort of
monopoly here. The two sopho
mores, who contribute what may
prove to be some of the bassest
singing ever heard, are Peggy Hart
and Mary Stearns, who also share
the honors as “player pianos.”
Rounding out this unusual heptet is
Cyndee Grant, who at least adds
.youth to the rapidly aging group.
Friday’s assembly was the Arch
ways’ first official introduction to
many members of the student body,
and all of these should have taken
heed when the sevensome began
with I Feel a Song Coming On. As
' predicted by many older fans, the
girls sang much more than that one
' song. Remaining true to the Arch
way heritage, they presented several
of the sweet and soft old favorites,
such as Stranger in Paradise, More,
Summertime, Summer Place, and
May Each Day.
However, there was a hint of
some revolution afoot when Baby,
I’m Yours, Georgy Girl, and Guan-
tanamera were presented. And what
is an Archway concert without a
few forgotten words ? Oh, well—
the second half of Our Day Will
Come (remember Ruby and the Ro
mantics?) is really much nicer than
the first. Also naturally, the girls
had to do at least one song twice,
but 39-21-46 was done so melodi
ously that one could hardly have
complained.
Highlight of the program, at least
for the Archways themselves, was
a special song dedicated to the sen
iors, proving that girls are senti
mental after all. And, of course,
there were happy tears when that
standing ovation came, along with
an opportunity finally to do the
“doo-bee-doo” song.
And so went the annual ordeal.
For just about everybody it was a
fun assembly, and for the Archways
it was probably the most important
concert they’ll ever have. Incident
ally, the group is always open to
offers. So, thank you.
Joh nnie Collins To Direct
Musical Comedy Production
By Connie Sorenson
The smell of grease paint, long
hours of rehearsal, a dry throat, the
terror of reviews, opening night, the
applause—the theatre is magnetic.
Cheri Rose has been captured in its
magnetic field. After the last per
formance of the Streets of New
York most members of the cast and
crew headed for the study room or
the sun spot; there would be a
period of rest and relaxation before
next fall’s productions. But, there
are some people who cannot stay
away from the stage.
Cheri is now deep in rehearsal for
another play, Ernest in Love. The
production of Ernest in Love is
being directed by Johnnie Collins
HI and sponsored by the Junior
Woman’s Club. Ernest in Love is
a musical comedy based upon
Thornton Wilde’s play The Impor
tance of Being Ernest. The play
stars Betty Willoughby, Jay Camp
bell, Cheri Rose, and Eddy Gaddy.
The director, Johnnie Collins HI
is a talented junior at Wake Forest.
Johnnie, a member of Actors
Equity, has been active in summer
theatre for the past several seasons.
Last summer Johnnie was involved
in a midwestern tour of the Un-
sinkable Molly Brown. Many of
you will remember Johnnie’s per
formance of Mr. Puffy in the
Streets of New York.
Betty Willoughby has starred in
plays such as Guys and Dolls here
in Winston-Salem. • She has per
formed in all the female roles of
Ernest in Love while the show was
on the road. Jay Campbell appeared
in the Little Theatre’s presentation
of Mousetrap this past fall. Cheri
Rose’s theatrical performances have
been numerous. This year she had
leading roles in the Shin of Our
Teeth and the Streets of New York.
Eddy Gaddy is another veteran of
the Salem College stage. He played
Captain Fairweather in the Streets
of New York.
The production of Ernest in Love
is resulting from the combined
efforts of people from the com
munity, Wake Forest, and Salem.
All proceeds will be given to Friend
ship House, a local charity. The
play will be given at Summit School
Auditorium April 27-29. Student
admission is $1.50 and tickets may
be obtained from Bev Lancaster,
Peggy McPherson, and Connie So
renson. Curtain time is 8:15 p.m.—
hope to see you there!
