The human species is bombarded daily if not hour by hour by neutrons invisible to the naked—excuse me—unclothed eye— approximately one millionth the size of a tiny time capsule; and everybody who is anybody knows what that means. In other words as everybody knows as we’ve al ready said the irrelevant rhythms of the vortex, which, as everyone knows is similar to the kiniblyn pin, as found midst the caverns of the engine room of the Queen Mary which is soon to be defunct. Thus, as previously stated, this should be intuitively obvious to the most cas ual observer. As John Bears For- tiptop would undoubtedly articulate in his everyday discourse to the Salem College has a campus of which it can be proud, and what better opportunity do we have to "show off" than when enter taining speakers. Many visiting speakers are guests at the Alum nae House and have commented on how pleasant their stay was in such charming surroundings. Students and faculty make sure that our guests are never without guides and companionship. Yet, without fail, the meal at which a speaker is a guest is the worse meal of the week. An unforgettable example is the lunch served to Yass Hakoshima following his performance on Monday, October 16. The quality of meals at such times is embarrassing to the school, especially to the students and faculty seated at the guest table. Stewed tomatoes could well ruin one's impressions of Salem if he were to be on campus for only a brief visit. Would it be possible to improve communication between the Refectory and those on campus responsible for entertaining guests? Making meal reservations for visiting speakers well in advance would allow time for making any advisable changes in the menu for that particular meal. Improvement in the meals served to guests could eliminate the one kink in Salem's hospitality.

It is pertain ing to the housing of Salem students on other college campuses or in university towns while on weekend trips. It has been noted that girls going to Chapel Hill or Durham or other university towns for a week end are required to stay at an “ap proved” rooming house. In compli ance with integration regulations of the United States and out of com mon courtesy to its minority groups, some colleges have felt it necessary to take houses that will not ac- Interesting Book Asks Readers New Ouestions By Edith Allen Dr. Hugh J. Schonfield is the author of what has been described as “possibly the most critical writ ing of our times,” The Passion Plot. His hypothesis is that Jesus of Naz areth masterminded a fantastic scheme to fulfill the prophecy of the Messiah, the Annointed One of Israel. This scheme included the ingeni ous manipulation of times and cir cumstances to produce Jesus’ arrest, trial, sentence, and crucifixion. Jesus is tlie genius behind the plot to be sentenced to crucifixion on the eve of; the Sabbath so that he would have to remain on the cross for otily three or four hours instead of as many days. He is the one who arranged to be drugged into a (Icath-like trance, removed from the cross by friends, and carried to a tomb nearby where his recovery and propliesied resurrection were to take place. . . This is the hypothesis, but Dr. Schonfield says much more. He has no intention of accusing Jesus of perpetrating a fraud. On the con trary, he believes Jesus to be abso lutely sincere. Fie does state that Jesus believed Himself to be the Messiah and that the entirety of liis efforts in the direction of ful filling the prophecy of dying in atonement for the sins of His peo ple. Nothing was to be eliminated from the prophecy, and the mission was for Jesus a necessity and an all consuming enterprise. Certainly this was an indescrib able task—one filled with love and the critical urging of destiny. Jesus was born into a time pregnant with the hopes and anticipations of the Annointed One. According to the countless prophecies and evidence this was the time for the coming. The Last Days were at hand and the Kingdom of God was soon to be ushered in. The society was almost delirious with the anticipa tion. Political situations (mainly the dramatic tension between Roman rule and discipline, and the Jewish rebellion against authority from heathen government) were at a critical point. Jewish leaders were in the desperate situation of break ing the authority of Romd and pres suring the unity and well-being of their own people. In such a set of circumstances, it would have indeed taken a mastermind to effect such (Continued on Page 4) / AtlVAYS TR’Y TO think BEALmfUL, NOBLE AND PROPER THOUEOTS /II 6UT IRE KEPT after ME To TUDijE the FRESHMeN f^OoM CCNT£3>T Blacks Hurt Themselves comodate girls of all races and creeds from their approved list and it goes without saying that a number of nice segregated houses will not be approved by these schools. However, the situation as it per tains to Salem girls has been handl ed as though students are not aware of the fact that integration is being rapidly introduced to many national and state educational and industrial, organizations and institutions. It has. been presented as though there were much danger involved. But in an age of such drastic (Continued on Page 3) By Lyn Davis There is today in American society a segment that is sick, It is so deranged that it inflicts mass destruction on itself in violent displays of brute strength. And, for the greatest part, the rest of America cares little about the illness's cause and, most especially, its cure. The blacks have rioted all summer long, bringing havoc and confusion to their own communities. Defying the white man's rationality, they have destroyed what little material possessions they owned. Setting entire states into turmoil by endless days and nights of burning and sniping, they have built up tremendoos resentment in the white community towards any rehabilitation efforts. "Why? Why the rebellions? Why the insurrections!" demands the white populace. Before their question can be answered, the query itself and the context of the situation from which it arose must be evaluated; Sidney J. Harris, a syndicated columnist, has done this. In his opinion, the riots are not rebellions or insurrections. If they were, they would fit the definition of those two words-thus having a clear aim and a definite purpose. They would also have a leader. They have none of these. All the violence is not directed toward any one institution. An expression of total frus tration and despair, the riots destroy the physical surroundings that spawned the blacks' feelings but build nothing to reploce them. No leader, no stated goal, no planned action—no way to prevent the violence or stop it once it has begun. Thus the actions of the blacks "are as self-destructive as they are destructive. They kill and injure far more Negroes then whites . . . They are suffering from a sickness, a fever ... in their delirium they are setting fire to their own bed. Only a psy chiatrist can comprehend the trauma that makes them act thol way; and only an informed and caring white public can copewilli this spreading disease of social despair."

This exhibit ties in with the series of programs on the Orient being spon sored by the Student Government Association. It will be on display through November 4. Each work being shown has been loaned to Salem College by private collectors of the North Carolina area, among them Mr. Shewmake and Dean Sandresky. Artists rep resented are from China, Japan In donesia, Thailand, Persia, and the United States. The versality of Eastern crafts men is highlighted through their subtle use of line and color. Quite a contrast exists between the con temporary oils of Kao and Togi and the delicate brush drawing done by Utamano in the eighteenth century.
