Number 22
Dr. Jacques Hardre, Professor of
■ Romance Languages at the Univer
sity of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, spoke March 6 in assembly on
"DeGaulle, the Statesman and
Writer.”
Dr. Hardre was born and reared
in Brittany, but received his college
education in the United States at
Middlebury College, Guilford Col
lege, and UNC-CH.
Prefacing his talk with the state-
I ment that his personal association
! with DeGaulle during and after
World War II has “colored” his
opinions. Dr. Hardre stated that
Charles DeGaulle is the most re-
i markable and notable of great
French men. More than a general
and statesman, he sees DeGaulle’s
I most important contributions as
I statesman and writer.
a statesman, DeGaulle initiated
the concept of “free France.”
Realizing in World War II that an
I armistice declared by France would
I cause disaster, he appealed from
London to all Frenchmen through
out the world to unite and save
France. His declaration that “the
flame of French resistance must not
and shall not die,” was the birth of
free France. Never before in his-
j.tory, according to Dr. Hardre, had
Ian army in exile staffed by volun-
[teers and an underground army
coordinated its parts and directed a
I war.
Dr. Hardre noted that even after
I the war DeGaulle retained the re-
|spect and the role of France as a
major nation. During the Algerian
crisis the General was recalled from
retirement and within four years he
set the course for Algerian indepen
dence. Following the Algerian
peace, he established the Fifth Re
public giving political stability to
France. Since then, France’s African
colonies have been liberated, she has
completely recovered economically
from the devastation of the war, and
has had reconciliation with Ger
many. She is also now a nuclear
power all through the influence of
DeGaulle, according to Dr. Hardre.
DeGaulle has been admired equal
ly as a writer. His Army of the
Future, on modern military strate
gy, was published after World War
I and ironically used as basis of the
formation of the German Blitzkrieg
of 1939 after a French general had
ridiculed it. Among his other works
are four volumes of speeches and
his three volume Memoirs. . His in
tellectual discipline coupled with the
study of history have given him in
sight into character, life, and pre
dictions of future events, accordng
to Dr. Hardre. The first paragraph
of DeGaulle’s Memoirs asserts the
true influence of him on France to
day. His energy and ambition for
France are here revealed, "To my
mind France can’t be France with
out greatness.”
An informal discussion was held
following the assembly in the Day
Student Center and Dr. Hardre
spoke later in the day to a group in
Shirley Recital Hall concerning Al
bert Camus.

the distinction of being the champ
ion baby-talker of Lehman Dorm.
Joan stated that she is looking for
ward to serving as Judicial Board
President. She has served on the
board for two years, and says that
she needs 100% cooperation from the
students. Translated that means
please be good.
Sue Wooten, a junior from Kins
ton, will be the guiding light of as
sembly programs as she assumes the
office of Vice President of Student
Government. Sue is a math major
with a minor in economics. Cur
rently, her idol is Jean Claude Killy
as Sue has become quite a ski buff.
She. would like to get Killy as an
assembly speaker, but says she
doubts that he can make it. Sue
was President of Clewell during her
sophomore year, and now is Secre
tary of Student Government and a
member of the Scorpions. Sue’s
plans for next year include trying
to make the assembly programs as
interesting as possible for students,
but also intellectually informative.
Paige French, who is currently
Fits Chairman and roommate of
L. W., has been chosen to serve as
Secretary of Student Government.
Paige is a music major from Tap-
pahanock, Virginia, and described
herself as “scared to death” on
Friday. Part of Paige’s fear came
from the fact that she had to catch
a 12:4S plane and could not leave
school until 12:15. Paige was very
excited about winning the election
and had a double celebration this
weekend with her . pinmate John
Christopher, who has just been eledt-
ed President of. his fraternity at
William and Mary. Paige is very
honored at having been elected and
is looking forward to working with
Nancy, Sue, and Sandra, and all
Salemites for a better Student
Government.
Sandy Culpepper is the short
little Hall President of first floor
Grarnley from Elizabeth City. She
is a psychology major with a minor
in elementary education. Sandy’s
favorite pasttime is sitting on a
shelf in her closet reading Paradise
Lost. She won’t have much time
for “shelf-reading” because Sandy
is the new Treasurer of Student

In the article appearing in the
February 23, 1968 edition of The
Salemite concerning the last Foreign
Language Club meeting, there were
several errors. Italy was omitted as

Government. Sandy really appreci
ates the honor of being elected
Treasurer and says that she can do
the job with the help of all the other
Salemites. But Sandy says that she
gets embarrassed easily, so she’s
dreading that first big Student
Government meeting.
Lindsey McLaughlin will assist
Joan on Judicial Board while serving
as Secretary. Lindsey has served on
Judicial Board this year as House
President of Babcock. She is a
math major and elementary educat
ion minor. When she can’t be found
around Salem, Lindsey is usually in
the company of a certain State fel
low by the name of Sandy. Sandy
was the last one to know about
Lindsey’s new office as he was on

about the time of the election. In
any case, he was soon informed by
Lindsey who is looking forward to

Finlator Speaks
In Y Program
Dr. W. W. Finlator of Pullen
Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh
was a guest speaker on campus as
part of the Religious Emphasis
Week activities held last week.
Dr. Finlator spoke to students in
Hanes Auditorium, Ash Wednesday,
February 28, and the following day
in informal discussion groups in the
Student Center.
Dr. Finlator’s talk in Hanes was
entitled “A Nation of Two Hymns.”
. He used two American hymns. The
Star Spangled Banner and America
the Beautiful, to characterize dif
ferent periods of national policy.
The Star Spangled Banner seemed,
according to Dr. Finlator, to be a
strong, masculine, purposeful hymn
reflective of the physical and mili
tary might of the United States in
the world. He used America the
Beautiful as a soft, feminine sym
bol, representative of the ideals of
brotherhood and love.
In reference to the contemporary
situation. Dr. Finlator said that un
til the Vietnam conflict, the United
States was under America the Beau
tiful, but now the situation has
changed. He sharply criticized this
country for its attempt to play “big
brother” because of its wealth and
size. In direct reference to Viet
nam, Dr. Finlator stated that he
thought the U. S. was violating the
Geneva Agreement by its presence
in Vietnam, and he urged a gradual
withdrawal. He criticized Lyndon
Johnson, saying that the President
had made a “mistake” in Vietnam
by bringing the country under The
Star Spangled Banner and he urged
a return to America the Beautiful.
