►n Scales Addresses Salemites burner, Thomas To Salem
r Dr. J. Ralph Scales. President of
iJVake Forest University, challenged
Salem students to “search for truth”
I jind pursue the “leisurely arts of
Heace” in a strife-torn world where
|only a force that can annihiliate
'Jjjian will keep the world from war.
Speaking at the Honor’s Day as
sembly, February 30, Dr. Scales
' jaid that there is a spiritual hungar
for eternal truths that the highly
advanced technological sciences of
today cannot satisfy. To emphasize
the need for studying the humani
ties. Dr. Scales used a wise quota
tion of Charles De Gaulle, who said
of mankind that, “the greatest dis-
Jance we have to cover still lies
within us.” He said that the
humanities give a quality and sub
stance to the mind which are neces
sary for the peace of man inter-
■ iiy.
Petitions Grant
lew Privileges
^The Legislative Board of the Stu
dent Council and Dr. Gramley
passed petitions for more over
nights and extra privileges that
Salemites had been signing before
the Christmas holidays.
[Extra overnights have been gran
ted to the three lower classes.
Freshmen will have eight for the
first semester and ten for second
^mester. They will also have Sop
homore privileges beginning on
May Day. Sophomores with a 2.5
average have unlimited overnights,
as do the Juniors.
Juniors may now have a car at
Salem if they are classified as se
cond semester Juniors. They have
also been given a midnight curfew
On Sunday nights.
■jlSixty students and two faculty
Jjjliembers petitioned to have the Fine
■rts Center left open on Saturday
■nights until 10 :30. Dr. Gramley has
^decided to permit this request. A
^view of the situation will be made
after a six-week trial period. The
jj^ilding will be open only to Salem
students. All students are reminded
to turn out lights, securely close
doors, close and lock windows, and
report any strangers.
f Dr. Scales pointed out the uses
'of language in the interpretation of
literature, as well as the spread of
science. He cited the lasting im
pression of those men in history
who left their marks as stylists
such as Thomas Jefferson, Wood-
row Wilson, and John Kennedy. He
challenged the audience as women
to share in the preservation and
■expansion of the arts, and he
pointed out a contemporary lack of
style, especially in the field of poli
tics. He said that “Weapons may
change, rules of procedure may
change, the social habits of the na
tion may be transformed, but the
need for men and women who think
logically, read understandingly, and
write clearly will never change.”
Dr. Scales’ speech was preceded
by the announcement by Dean
Hixon of the new members of the
Honor Society and the Dean’s List.
