lalem To Participate In Nine Seniors To Graduate Early;
irChoice 68” Mock Election Have PlansTo Continue Education
A collegiate presidential primary,
involving nearly 2500 colleges and
several million students, will be held
simultaneously on campuses across
the country on April 24, 1968. Lead
ers of student organizations at more
than 200 major universities have al
ready asked to participate in the
vote. Announcement of CHOICE
1^, National Collegiate Persidential
primary and an invitation to take
part will go out to 2200 additional
folleges this week.
• j CHOICE 68 is being run by a
liBoard of Directors of eleven stu-
jdent leaders, each from a different
'region of the country. The Board
f,s establishing guidelines for the
Jprimary, designing the ballot and
providing overall direction and
leadership. Schools represented by
he Board are the University of
alifornia at Berkley, Kansas State
eachers College, University of
exas, Fordham University, Univer-
Tsity of Wisconsin, University of
tall. University of Tennessee,
ichigan State University. Yale
Jniversity, Georgia Institute of
echnology. University of Oregon.
Administrative costs are being
nderwritten by TIME magazine as
public service. Results of the Pri-
iry will be freely available to all
edia.
Initial response by student leaders
has been highly favorable. Accord-
ng to Robert G. Harris, Executivfc
irector of CHOICE 68, formerly
tudent body president of Michigan
tate University, “college men and
omen see the Primary as a mean-
ngful political activity and a monu-
lental opportunity to make them-
elves heard in an effective way.”
In addition to indicating their
hoice of presidential candidates,
students will also have a chance to
otP. on certain issues of national
oncern. The selection of these is-
ues will also be made by the Board
|®of Directors.
In its informational prospectus on
HOICE 68, the Board explained
the philosophy behind the idea this
ay; “Never in the nation’s history
ave so many college students been
so well informed about the major is
sues of the day ... yet they have
had little opportunity to express
their views in a unified, coherent
manner. CHOICE 68 offers stu-
their preference on Presidential
candidates and selected issues—to
speak for the first time as a body
politic.”
According to its spokesman, “The
Board expects to turn out upwards
of two million votes on campus,
enough to command the nation’s
consideration and attention.”
Legislative Board passed a mo
tion that Salem participate in
CHOICE 68. Hannah Nicholson is
campus chairman.
Melas II Sing,
Travel Often
By Susan Rucker
Talented singers Deedee Geraty
and Linda Camp make up the Me
las II, a popular duo on campus.
The group was originally a trio,
made up of Deedee, Linda and
Peggy Holroyd, who has transferred
to Carolina. It began quite by acci
dent in December of 1966. Deedee
was teaching Linda a song as Peggy
listened, and they ended up singing
together. The three continued to
sing together and last May repre
sented Salem in the Campus Talent
’67 Statewide Competition.
Linda and Deedee began practic
ing when they returned to Salem
this fall, and the Melas II has been
in great demand ever since. They
have sung for many groups, such
as College Life and the Winston-
Salem Pilot Club. After singing
with the Choral Ensemble and the
State Men’s Glee Club, the State
Quartet asked the Melas II to sing
with them in a program for the
Smith Douglas Chemical Company
Convention in Raleigh. The popular
duo has recently appeared on WSJS
television on the “Today at Home
Show” with Gail Puzak and Jim

When the class of ’68 officially
graduates this June, nine of its
members will have completed their
degrees a full five months before
hand, waiting only for the “form
alities” and receipt of a diploma.
This January seven girls will re
ceive a Bachelor of Arts degree:
Zoe Anne Hough Cresenzo, Carol
S. Forester, Carolyn N. Heggoy,
Linda Holland, Marty Plummer,
Nancy M. Johnson, and Tuck
Smith. Two Salemites, Patsy
Martin and Lucy Mills, will re
ceive Bachelor of Music degrees.
For all nine, only exams remain of
their careers at Salem.
Zoe Anne Cresenzo, newly a
“Mrs.,” is an English major and
completed her work for a teach
er’s certificate this past fall. Hav
ing attended Duke for two years,
she stayed out of school the first
semester of her junior year, and
then transferred to Salem. How
ever, she was forced to make up
some credits at Wake Forest sum
mer school and to remain at Sa
lem an extra semester. With her
formal schooling over for a time,
Zoe Anne nevertheless expects to
stay busy. She and her husband.
Bill, who were married December
23, will soon move to Charlotte,
and she will teach seventh grade
at Alexander Graham Junior High
School. Zoe Anne pointed out a
real advantage for her in graduat
ing at this time of year—she will
now have a two-week vacation be
fore starting her career as a teach
er.
Carol Southard Forester and her
husband live in Winston-Salem and
have an eight-month-old daughter.
She would have graduated last June,
but was unable to because of Me
lissa’s birth the preceeding April.
A psychology major, she spent this,
past semester taking Christian Eth
ics and Home Management. The
future, at this point, depends a
great deal upon her baby, but
Carol would like to work this
spring, and has applied for a job
as a data analyst at Baptist Hospit
al.

Two prominent artists now are
Jxhibiting their works in the cor
ridors of the Fine Arts Center.
Walter Barker was born in Co-
denz, Germany in 1921. He was
educated in the United States, and
legan the study of painting at the
ige of 14. Mr. Barker came to New
ork from St. Louis in 1962; he
lught at Washington University
ichool of Fine Arts and the Brook
lyn Museum Art School from 1963-
In 1966 he was appointed to
faculty of the University of
forth Carolina. In 1949, he taught
art here at Salem.
Mr. Barker has received a num-
'er of fellowships and awards, and
las traveled widely. For the past
;wo years he has studied the art
;nd architecture of the East and the
ncient World; he has also traveled
in Turkey, Israel and Persia.
Mr. Barker’s paintings, both oil
ind watercolor, appear in series
hich include “The Forest Series,”
'Ching Series,” “Venetian Series,”
“The Paradox Series,” “Leo Series,”
and the “Persian Series.” The
“Paradox Series” is the most no
tably different, a visual type of oils
of rather geometric design; the rest
are lacey, delicate abstracts.
Says Mr. Barker of his work, “My
intention is to relate nature to my
work in a synthesis rather than a
description.”
The second artist of the two-man
show is Warren Brandt, who was
born in Greensboro, on February 26,
1918. He studied at Pratt Institute
from 1935-1937. He earned his BFA
from Washington University with
honors in 1947. In 1953 he was
awarded his MFA from the Univer
sity of North Carolina. He held a
traveling fellowship and taught at
Southern Illinois University, Uni
versity of Mississippi, Guilford Col
lege and Pratt Institute. Mr. Brandt
now works in New York where he
is director of the New York Studio
of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture.
Mr. Brandt’s paintings are light,
airy and bright in a distinct style
The painting by Brandt is one
of a collection now on dis
play.
with early-morning and sunny-
toned colors. These are mainly ser
ies of nudes and abstracts.
John Canady, a New York Times
critic, says of Mr. Brandt,
. . Painter is a thoroughly ap
propriate word for him: his paint
is sumptuously applied and his
colors are opulent, but everything
is expertly controlled, both manu
ally and visually.”
Also on display are some small
pen and ink sketches, and litho
graphs by various artists.
Salemites who will avoid the June rush and graduate this month
include (I. to r.) Patsy Martin, Tuck Smith, Nancy Johnson, and
Linda Holland.
Charlotte, is one of those amazing
girls graduating early. She has
major in math, which she practice
taught this past semester at Phi-
loh Junior High School. Among
her future pi. ns is her marriage
January 27, to Gene Powell. They
will live in Columbia, South Caro
lina, where she hopes to teach. The
possibility of an early graduation
just seemed to “evolve” for Linda
after several summers at the Uni
versity of South Carolina at Myrtle
Beach. She has, in the meantime,
had time for many extra-curricular
activities, such as Pierrettes work
and membership in the SNEA. She
is also currently a member of
“Who’s Who.”
Carolyn Newman Fleggoy hails
from Bumpass, Virginia but is now
“apartmenting” in Winston-Salem
until her graduation this January.
Carolyn’s husband teaches at Ran-
dolph-Macon. He is originally from
Bergen, Norway. Carolyn will re
ceive her degree as a Sociology
major.
Nancy Johnson is a French major
from Atlanta, Georgia, who will
eventually be grad-school bound.
Her transfer to Salem from St.
Mary’s hurt her credit-wise, but
she managed to catch up and to
get ahead through summer school
sessions at both the Universities of
North and South Carolina. She ad
mits looking forward to “quitting
the books” for a while. Nancy will
work this spring and summer, and
plans to do graduate work in li
brary science at Emory University
this fall. Ultimately, she would like
to work in the business field, per
haps with IBM or in banking.
A job in New York heads the
hopes of Marty Plummer. Far from
her home town of New Canaan,
Connecticut, she is living in Win
ston-Salem as a day student until
her graduation this month. Marty
is a French major and has spent
the past semester making up cred
its she lost while spending part of
her junior year at the University
of Geneva, Switzerland. She doesn’t
really see any disadvantages in
graduating at this time; in fact,
as she pointed out, there is definite
advantage to graduating in mid
year-—competition for jobs is not as
fierce.
Ann “Tuck” Smith is graduating
early, as she puts it, “for no real
reason.” She just found that she
could after summer sessions,
at the University of Virginia in her
home town of Charlottesville, Vir
ginia. During the past semester,
she has been busy practice teaching
in her major, French. Last year.
Tuck was also especially busy with
her work in Dansalems, of which
she was president. The future
holds many possibilities for her.
She may teach in a secondary
