Spirit At Founders’ Day
Founders' Day is the outward expression of spirit at Salem.
This year a unified spirit was expressed, not four individual class
spirits. Class spirit was certainly present, but it seemed to be
subordinate to Salem spirit.
Salemites are fortunate to live in such a small community
that encourages a feeling of unity. A remarkable phenomenon
is the fact that students can cast aside class competitiveness to
cheer for Salem, the institution, as they did Tuesday night while
waiting for the judges' decision.
"The Sisterhood" is often considered a trite, if not worn out,
expression at Salem. Yet, one cannot deny that "the Sisterhood"
thrived at the Founders' Day activities. Founders' Day comes but
one day a year, but we know that "the Sisterhood" can exist every
day of the school year, through many Founders' Days in the future.
Carolina Features Ideas
On Artful Dating
By Ann Haaa
Coeds, are you having trouble
getting a date ? Do you sit in the
dorm night after night knitting?
Would you like to meet some Car
olina men? Maybe you ought to
try a new approach.
In a survey to see how college
men would react to female behavior
different from the norm, nine out of
eleven responded favorably.
When confronted with an invitat
ion to dinner from a coed, Carolina
men at the Y court accepted 81.8
percent of the time. They were ap
proached as follows: ‘‘Excuse me.
I am Marian Chase, and I’m new
here. I know you are going to think
this is terribly presumptuous, but
I would like to meet some people,
and I was wondering if you would
like to go out to dinner tonight.”
Responses varied from ‘‘Well, I’d
like to but I really uh, have other
plans” to ‘‘I’d love to.” The second
man added, after he was informed
of the survey, "To have a girl ask
me if I’d like to go out to dinner is
unrca:. To tell you the truth, I have
been trying to get a date for weeks.”
One graduate student said, "Uh,
What’s tonight? Wednesday. Well
I can’t tonight. What about tomor
row? I live in an apartment - and
you could come out tomorrow for a
swim.” When he was told that the
invitation was part of a survey, he
said, "Well, you just crushed my
ego.”
Two men at the Coke counter ask
ed "Where?” Then they recited
their traveling plans, but added that
they would accept, and would be
glad to introduce the girl to their
friends. They felt that there was
not enough of “meeting people” at
Carolina. They were both married.
Another man said, “I hate to tell
you this, but I’m married. I’d be
glad to introduce you to some people,
though. I’ll take you out to dinner
anyway.”
Two younger men confessed
"We’re new here, too. We’re going
to be in Greensboro tonight. Well,
I guess we could stay.”
A mustached man wearing glasses
and bermuda shorts said, “Sure,”
and then bit into a potato chip.
“Where do you want to go?”
A dark-haired man in a blue ox
ford shirt and striped t i e said,
“Well, I’d like to, but I don’t think
my wife would approve.”
One of the most encouraging re
plies came from a younger man who
said, “Yeah, I’ll be glad to.” When
told the purpose of the inquiry he
asked, “Are you sure you wouldn’t
like to go out to dinner anyway?”
Girls, there is hope. Although you
are in the majority, you can still
meet those men. After all, statistics
prove that a few of them will turn
down a free dinner. Try your own
survey! However, maybe you ought
to keep an eye out for the small
eater.

Once again, it’s back to good old
Salem C., the Square, and all the
leaves on the ground. Have you
seen all the new faces of freshmen
and transfers ? From what I under
stand, the boys who have seen them
liked what they saw.
Founders’ Day, the longest and
the shortest day of the year, has
come and gone, leaving in its path
a tired but excited school and one
of the most united freshmen classes
we’ve ever seen. A lot of familiar
faces could be seen Tuesday in the
crowds, among them Miss Byrd’s,
Mr. Snaveley’s, Paula Pritchard s,
Jayne Jackson’s, Beverly Brook
shire’s, Elizabeth Makepeace’s, Ann
Babcock’s, Becky Scott’s, Eleanor
Lauck’s, Jane Grimsley’s, Ann Mc-
Master’s, Margie Winstead Crump’s
(Mrs. John), and Ann Richert Fer
rell’s (Mrs. Kip). Founders’ Day
means so much more when people
who have meant a lot can get back
to participate and lend support.

Letter To Editor
Editor,
It is common knowledge now
that the apartment petition will be
presented to the Board of Trustees
at their meeting at the end of this
month. I, for one, am particularly
concerned about the outcome of
this petition. The questionnaire com
pleted by the student body last spr
ing indicated that the apartment
rule as it stands is almost a laugh
ing matter. It is ineffective, ignor
ed, and has been broken by a sub
stantial number of students here at
Salem, particularly by upperclass
men. It has become common pract
ice in today’s society for graduate
students, some undergraduates, and
young businessmen to live in apart
ments. These are the men who date
Salem girls and as the questionnaire
indicated, Salem girls do visit their
apartments.
Not only is the apartment petit
ion at stake, but also the Honor
Tradition we have been so proud
of. As Salem students, we promise
to respect and abide by the Honor
Tradition and laws of Salem, How
ever, when a rule is found to be in
effective and disregarded, some
thing must be done. This rule should

For Young G©n©ration

"Tune in, turn on, and drop out"-the phrase that represents
a way of life for the new generation. And along with the lonj
hair and beads that so many associate with the new movement
in American thought go other names such as Timothy Leary
the Jefferson Airplane.
The revolution in attitudes towards drugs has affected d
areas of life. The early teenagers have rechanneled their enen

Ldent listens to Sgt. Pepper as he wails about "Lucy in the S^y
with Diamonds." College students debate hotly the question o
legalizing pot in rooms plastered with signs like "Psychedelia
Suburbia." True to form, parents mutter about the new genera
tion's going to the dogs.
But in spite of the outward connotations of a fad, drugs ari

into society. The test case for legalizing marijuana has now

American society does need to "tune in, turn on, and di
