But most liked it. IThe comments recall similar con- roversies over sculptures in Atlanta ind Chicago. A 33-foot high fiber [lass sculpture in Atlanta’s Peach- ree Center Plaza, designed by Bel- iflim-born sculptor Robert Hels- noortel, has evoked considerable iiscussion since it was completed wo years ago. During recent weeks, I I similar controversy—with “what s it” overtones—has aroused Chi- ^gons where a 163-ton, five-story- all sculpture by Pablo Picasso rises |bm Chicago’s Civic Center Plaza. gThe Lamp of Learning sculptor is far Heel artist William Mangum. 3e was commissioned by Dunning industries, Inc., a Greensboro lamp nanufacturer, with the assistance of he Chamber’s Centennial Decade \dvisory Committe, and the soon- ;o-be completed 500-pound sculp- :ure will be unveiled late this fall, punning Park, where it will be ocated, has been leased by Dunning industries from the city and is be- ng beautified with help from other |mpanies.

He thanked the Chamber’s Cen tennial Decade Advisory Committee for the commission and providing cultural leadership in Greensboro. Artist Mangum is an associate professor of Salem College’s Art Department. He teaches sculpture, painting and art history at the Winston-Salem institution. It is expected that City of Greens boro street plans will affect the park area and when it does, the monument will be removed to an other suitable location, possibly right smack in the middle of Green sboro’s downtown. The Dunning park site is adjac ent to the Dunning plants in the wedge where Ashe and Lewis Streets intersect Lee Street. The monument’s inscription will include a tribute to Greensboro’s two universities and three colleges, with a notation of their founding dates. Aluminum for the sculpture is being provided by General Met als, Inc., a Greensboro metal fab ricator, which is headed by Saund ers Williams, a member of the Chamber’s Arts Acquisition and Centennial Decade Advisory Com mittee. The foundry work will be done by Brogden Foundry, a small Greensboro foundry which special izes in custom work. Petition Considers Negotiations As Solution To Vietnam Conflict Reprinted Business, from Greensboro September, 1967. A campaign for names in the Winston-Salem area of those favor ing negotiation between all parties concerned in the Vietnamese con flict is being sponsored by a na tional citizen’s organization called “Negotiation Now!” The organization hopes to have one million signatures to the peti tion by October 9 when the exe cutive committee of “Negotiation Now!” will present it to President Johnson. The petition states that: We support the call by U Thant for new initiatives to bring about negotiations among all parties to the conflict leading to a political settlement of the Vietnam War. We call upon the United States, the most powerful nation in the world, to take the first step and end the bombing of North Viet nam now and without con ditions. We ask our govern ment to take further initatives leading to a standstill truce. We ask North Vietnam and the National Liberation Front to respond affirmatively to any new United States initiatives and to join with the U. S. in a standstill ceasefire. We ask South Vietnam to re spect and join in these steps. This course of action presents to the United States a moral alternative to our stated policy of bringing about negotiations by force, or to the devastation of all-out war, and a more real istic alternative than unilateral withdrawal. Scandal! Men Discovered in Salem College Dorm He’s everywhere! He’s every where ! One evening, as the junior gazed into the eyes of the man above her, she shrieked as his shoulder brushed against her cheek. She pushed him against the wall, and reached for the scotch tape to put him back in his proper place. It must be nice to be one of the fortunate Salem girls who have Paul Newman gazing down at them as they sleep. Startled by the reflection in the mirror, a sophomore gasps and grabs for her robe. There he is again, with his deep blue eyes star ing at her as he leans against her wall. He appears again next door with a different outfit, but with those same blue eyes. This appears to be the most pop ular man on campus. Paul New man, actor, man, and BOD, makes - Orientation - (Continued from page 1) sary good-looks. Thursday freshmen took it easy as the upperclassmen fought over courses and registration. The Open ing Convocation commenced with the academic procession of the faculty and the entrance of the Class of 1968 in cap and gown. As a treat for the returning stu dents and as a means of introduc ing a few of the freshmen. May Day sponsored a fashion show dur ing dinner. Later that night. Dean Wood entertained at an Open House in Strong Friendship Room.

WELCOME BACK RETURNING AND NEW SALEMITES. We invite you to visit both of our jewelry stores during this school year. McPhails, Inc. 410 N. Spruce Thruway Shopping Center We believe that such initiatives now can break the impasse and lead to negotiations and a poli tical settlement providing for the removal of all foreign troops and for genuinely demo cratic elections in which all South Vietnamese can parti cipate freely. “Negotiation Now!” is not a re ligious organization nor is it backed by any certain political organization or ideology. It is, however, a citi zens’ organization backed by a var ied cross-section of Arnericans who wish to show the President that there would be considerable popular support for this policy. Fulbright Means Future Capable Salemites For any drab, green Salem wall worth looking at. But, he fits in any where, since those blue eyes and rippling muscles go with every .decor. By all means, he is a worth while addition to any wall, ceiling, or door. Life-sized photos have aroused Salem’s passion for Paul. However, Paul is not the only man around— since “The Great Escape”, Steve McQueen has also made the scene. Boyfriend’s 9x12 photographs cer tainly seem dull when placed before wall-to-wall sex appeal—oops, pos ters. Even travel posters of Spanish matadors poised for the kill are fast losing appeal now that the new art(?) craze favors the “grubby tee-shirt” look. And incidentally, this is the only legal way to have men in your room! AHENTION The Sophomore Class is still tak ing orders for Salem lapboards. Anyone interested should contact Claudia Young.
