[The showing of six unique films
•yvill be an exciting preview to
Salem’s symposium, “The Dehu-
nianization of Man.” The films
were selected by E, F. Shewmake
and will be shown at the beginning
of several assembly periods from
February 23 to April 4. It is hoped
that they will inspire students to
begin thinking in preparation for
wmposium discussions.
[The first film, Stan Vanderbeek’s

one of Salem’s
was held during
Tree planting,
^dest traditions,
(ssembly, Friday, February 9. Since
1891 when the first tree was planted
■bdween Dr. Gramley’s home and
the Science Building (where now a
plaque has been placed), each sen-
riior class has planted a tree and
a sprig of ivy.
tThe tree, a sugar maple, was
Ranted behind the Inspector’s
House by Martha Eubanks, Presi
dent of the Senior Class, with the
assistance of Dr. Gramley who
quipped that it. was a sugar maple
^mbolizing girls “sweet as sugar.”
, The ivy was planted behind South
Dorrriitory, after which students
shng the Alma Mater. Symbotically,
■ as the tree grows, so its class grows
to its fullness of capacity in life.
“Wheeeeels .#2,” will be viewed
February 23. Subtitled “America
on Wheels,” this five-minute film is
dedicated to Detroit. Its producer
explains, “A fantasy force on the
car of everyday life. Everything
is, a vehicle, life is in motion, loco
motion, motion is the means, the
automotion is the mean mania of
today.”
During assembly, February 28,
Angel Hurtado’s “Vibrations” will
be shown. This eight-minute color
film is described by G. Weinbery
as “An abstract film in which image
and would (musique concrete) com
bine to evoke the modern age.”
“Homage to Jean Tinguely’s
Homage to New York” will be
shown March 22. It is an eleven-
minute film produced by Robert
Buer. The producer describes his
film as “a record, of sorts, of the
birth and death of Tinguely’s fam
ous auto-destructive sculpture.
Filmed on the spot at the New
York Modern Art Muesum, this
film also exploits a wide range of
camera and editing techniques to
give it a life of its own, indepen
dent of and parallel to the subject.”
Three films will be shown the
night of April 3 and sometime on
April 4. Red Grooms’ “Fat Feet”
is a twenty-minute movie starring

ith Words’ Romance
DR. ROLAND M. MYERS
I The Romance of Words” was
the topic of the talk by Dr. Roland
Myers, a noted language scholar,
in assembly February 14, as part of
f ihe Salem College Lecture Series.
Dr. Myers began by stating that
a»ge occurs in languages in spite
M human resistance to it. He em
phasized a point that etymological
nieanings of words are most often
different from present meanings by
stating that “nice” used to mean
stupid” and that “silly” once held
ihe meaning of “holy.”
To answer the question of how
does a word change. Dr. Myers told
*ho attentive audience that the
ohange is gradual coming from
Shifts in meanings caused by asso-
’^•ation with other words, misuse be
cause of ignorance, or a slurring of
3|oken language. To illustrate his
Grooms says of it, “A city sym
phony, with living comic strip char
acters and sound, prixilated and ani
mated.”
“Bull Fight” is a nine-minute
color film danced by Anna Sololow.
The producer, Shirley Clarke, states,
“ ’Bullfight’ integrates a creative
dance with the documentary realism
of a bull ring in Spain. The dancer
recaptures her feelings while watch
ing an actual bullfight. The climax
is reached when she identifies with
the bullfighter, the bull, and the
death in the ring.” This exciting
experimental film has been the sub
ject of much recent discussion.
“Mechanical Concerto of Mad
ness,” the final film in the series is
a ballet.. Each of the movies is in
tended to give the student a per
spective and understanding of the
topic for the symposium held April
4 and S.
This semester two additional
gentlemen have joined Salem’s Art
Department, yet many Salemites
hardly know that they’re on campus
at all! These newcomers to the
faculty are Jim Moon and Anthony

while also maintaining full-time
roles in the Winston-Salem com
munity.

last point, he showed how the
French word mousseron, a type of
toadstool, had been slurred in to
the English work mushroom.
Dr. Myers acknowledged a barrier
of communication in the difficulty
of spelling in the English language
which has reached a point where it
has become a game in the form of
the popular spelling bee.
Correctness of speech, according
to Dr. Myers, is determined by what
is acceptable to educated people at
a certain tinie and in a certain
place. , He said that man changes
language and that when one laughs
at a misuse of language, he should
laugh with the speaker since all of
mankind cause the problem. He
supported his time and place cri
teria by saying that both of the
statements, “It is I who am speak
ing,” and “It’s me what’s talking,”
are socially unacceptable because
they are extremes of the normally
used phrase. But in using these
phrases he acknowledged that it is
difficult to determine what is
“error” since “error” often quickly
becomes socially accepted as cor-
rect.
In stating that words will become
more powerful in the future be
cause of increased communication.
Dr. Myers challenged the audience
as women to bear the responsibility
of transmitting the language.
Dr. Myers graduated from Dart
mouth College and received his
Ph.D from John-Hopkins Univer
sity in Romance Languages and
Literature. He has studied in sev
eral European countries and has
traveled in many more. He has
taught in five leading colleges arid
universities in this country.
In an effort tq acquaint the
classes of 1972 and 1973 .with the
problems they will face as college
students, Pfeiffer College was host
February 10, for College-Bound ’68,
a symposium for high school stu
dents who plan to attend college.
Approximately one hundred fifty
high school juniors and seniors
gathered on Pfeiffer campus, where
they discussed “the prospects and
problems of undergraduate life”
with student and faculty leaders
from seven North Carolina colleges
and universities,, including Duke,
Davidson, UNC-CH, East' Carolina
University, Johnson C. Smith Uni
versity, Salem, and Pfeiffer.
In her capacity as President of
the Student Government, Mary
Alice DeLuca represented Salem as'
a guest of the symposium. As a,
member of a student panel, she dis
cussed with other student leaders
various aspects of the college
“beat,” with topics ranging from
academics to social life, and the
challenges and pressures which a
student faces in these areas.
Students attending the symposium
had the opportunity to preview the
academic side of college life by at
tending Saturday morning classes
at Pfeiffer. Informal discussion
groups in the afternoon gave in
terested students a chance for in-
depth consideration of particular
facets of the earlier panel discus
sion.
Symposium leaders, according to
Mary Alice, were impressed by the
response of students who attended.
Delta Sigma and Alpha Phi Omega,
service organizations at Pfeiffer who
sponsored the symposium, expect
that the success of College-Bound
’68 will lead to an expanded and
improved College Bound ’69.
