But acquisition requires that one spend time and “self” on something which may not have any outward signs of sacrifice. Recognition for involvement may be limited to one’s own knowledge and satisfaction or to a few close friends who may also be involved. Or, it may be well- known. So it is for those who attended the 1968 Symposium and those who worked so hard to make it the success that it was. But perhaps we should not just let this participation and in volvement fade. A smile and a “thank you” to the committee might repay the debt we owe them for such a stimulating pro gram. But our involvement should not stop at that. Apathy should not be attributable to students on this campus. Students can have a voice in organizations with national affiliations, as well as a voice in local or campus groups. Student-faculty relationships could be strengthened. As Salemites we have a commendable relationship with the faculty and administration as a group, but how well do you know your faculty advisor or that professor you see about three hours each week? And do you just sit and complain about those things that you don’t like or agree with, or do you make constructive criticisms to people who can really consider your ideas? The Salenute can be a voice for your ideas, or it can merely be an exercise in hard work for those who voluntarily staff it. You can determine what you are given in it weekly, or you can just complain to the wind when its staff can’t read your mind. In volvement is your choice. Is “apathetic” to be an adjective for your name? CEO Girls, it’s been a long winter but spring is finally here. Cupid al ready has his hands full with Salemites’ winning the hearts of men everywhere. California is represented by Jeff Groves, a senior at U. C. L. A., who is Harriet Petty’s fiance. At the University of Florida you will find Steve Reynolds, a third year law student and fiance to Mallory Lykes. Their wedding is planned for August 3. A sopho more at the University of Florida, Mike McCauley, gave Lyn Davis his lavalier. Leila Skinner is engaged to Ricky Harper, a first year law student at Wake Forest. Paul Orser, a Sig Ep at Wake, has asked for Amy Murray’s hand. They have scheduled their wedding for August 31. A Pika at Davidson, John Mack, gave his lavilier to Camilla Pre- vette at their Concert Weekend. Anne Westmoreland is engaged to Jimmy Lowe, a senior at State. Their wedding is planned for May 26. Joe Blythe, a Delta Sigma Phi at Wake, pinned Caroline Boone Sun day night after spring break. Mary McNair is engaged to a Chi Psi at Carolina named Paul Hobbs Give Change Livingston. Their wedding date is June 1. Carol Livingston got a pin from Rick Kelly, a Sig Ep at Wake Forest. Ena Guy traded in her Davidson Phi Delt lavalier for Ron Hunt’s pin. Susan Shore traded in Vince Howard’s Sig Ep pin for a ring. They will be married in August. Vince is a senior at Wake Forest. Marty Lee got a diamond last weekend from Jim Field, an ensign in the Navy. He leaves April 18 for Viet Nam. Bob Williams, an SAE at David son, pinned Anne MacBryde, and Bugs Lester, a pledge, gave Betsy MacBryde his lavalier. George Mahoney, a junior at Mount St. Mary’s College, gave Susan Berwager his school pin. The Lambda Chi’s at Wake Forest were so impressed at our Symposium that they provided the entertainment by serenading Tricia Pollock the night of April 4. You would think this would be enough excitement for the first few days of spring. But as long as there are girls, there are boys, and boys will be boys. I hear Clewell has taken on a new identity, or that’s what the KA pledges thought anyway. Girls can't help but get into a Salem To Host Qroups At April TESI Conference A conference on “Teacher Educ ation and School Integration” will be held in the Fine Arts Center on A p r i 1 18. It is to be sponsored jointly by Salem College, Wake Forest University, and Winston- Salem State College. Participating in it will be both Negro and White students, administrators, college professors, and teachers teaching in highly integrated situations. The keynote speech will be delivered by James M. Hale, Assistant Director of TESI (Teacher Education and School Integration). In addition. a most pertinent and provocative movie, “A Time for Burning,” will be shown and time will be allotted for discussion. This conference is the first of its kind to be held in North Carolina. Its purpose i s primarily to help evaluate North Carolina’s specific problems in relation to school inte gration. The students and faculty of Sal em are invited to attend the confer ence, which, because of its subject and the critical times in which we live, should be of interest to every one. Dear Editor, A new rule anticipates a positive attitude, a cooperative spirit, and a determined success. But our revis ed apartment privilege calls for something more. In the 1968-1969 handbook it will read, “Third and fourth year students will be allowed to visit in homes or apartments of men friends in groups of two or more couples provided that par ental permission has been obtained.” The external meaning is obvious, but the application and success of this rule depend on a much greater un derstanding of its implications and its faith in the student body. Just as the rule expresses a posi tive approach to this situation, it requires an equally positive attitude on the part of each Salem student and a sincere determination to make it work. All of us are mature in dividuals, and this privilege has been granted because of this real- lization. But specifically, how can we respond to its requirements as mature adults ? It asks juniors and seniors especially to take the initi ative in seeing that it is observed. It calls on freshmen and sopho mores to look forward to the day when they can appreciate the use of this privilege, and until then to re act to it with honor and responsi bility. It expects all of us to make the true meaning of I Represent Salem a reality in our lives, to re alize that our conduct is a reflect ion on every student at Salem, on each faculty member, on the ad ministration, on the trustees, and on the entire community. With re gard to this rule, we cannot place our own considerations first. I hope that each of you will value the privileges which this rule allows. It is the result of very hard work and a large amount of time spent on careful consideration. I have been very concerned this year with the general attitude toward apart ments. Many felt that the more the rule was broken, the better the chance would be for change. Now the rule has been changed. But if we show that we are not mature enough to abide by it, it can very easily be restricted. Speaking for Judicial Board, I would like all of you to know that we want to make this rule more than a few printed words on paper. We are going to see that it is not only observed but respected and that infractions are dealt with severely. We ask each of you to share this responsibility with us and to respond to it with your conscience and with your re spect for Salem’s Honor Tradition. Thank you sincerely, Joan Hobbs Easter services being held at Home Moravian Church include the following: Good Friday, April 12— Lovefeast, 7:4S p.m. Great Sabbath, April 13— Lovefeast, 2:30 p.m. Easter Day, April 14— The Resurrection Service, 5 :30 a.m. Liturgy and Sermon, 11 a.m. little mischief either, especially on April Fool’s Day. Betsy McAlister could have sworn that a rattlesnake was in that envelope. Anne Beat- tie gave Carol Bonham an un birthday party. Carol Lenon, happy that the day was finally over crawled into her bed sprinkled generously with talcum powder. What was that I heard about Mar tha Eubank’s car ? You never can tell what Salem girls with a little imagination might do next. But one thing for sure, as demonstrated at our successful symposium, Salem girls will never lose their spirit. Dear Editor To the Editor: It has always been my contention that the Constitution of the United States held complete application to the structure and proceedings of all American institutions of govern ment. However, on our own camp us there can be found a gross neg ligence of constitutional rights in connection with the Judicial Board. In Amendment 6 of the Consti tution, the rights of accused persons are stated. On at least four points the Judicial Board shows flagrant non-recognition of these rights. 1) “ . . . informed of the nature and cause of the accusation” Too many times the Judicial Board has failed to give speci fic reasons to the accused on the nature of her indictment. . . to be confronted with the witnesses against him” It is a well known fact that the Judicial Board refuses to disclose even the name of the accusor, much less to allow a direct confrontation. (Continued on Page 4) 2) Johnson’s Shock Affects Campaign Developments By Lyn Davis “ . . . I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.” With these historic and shocking words. President Johnson ended his decla ration to the nation and to the world that he would devote the last nine months of his term of office to the quest for peace (both here and abroad) and for national unity. All the repercussions from his decision, which he had been contemplating since at least last January, have yet to be felt. The Democratic Party is thrown into a turmoil. Robert Ken nedy, running on an anti-Johnson and peace in Viet Nam plat form, was left speechless and without much material for his up coming appearances. Eugene McCarthy was too stunned to make a statement, although his campaign has continued along the same basic lines. George Wallace was boosted in an even better position for the National Convention. He may be able to marshall a sufficient number of votes to be the" deciding factor in whom the Democratic Party will nominate as their next Presidential nominee. For the first time, many people who were already committed to Johnson were thinking seriously about Humphrey. Johnson’s already committed votes (he still has enough to carry the majority of the Convention) have re ceived no advice from him. The President will issue a state- ruent on the upcoming partisan battle only when he deems the time to be right; his opinion may never be forthcoming. Carolina Democrats were also left in confusion. A pro- McCarthy group has begun, but it is very doubtful if it will gain ^ough strength in North Carolina to be of any importance. McCarthy s supporters are too widely spread over the state, btudents, although they can do much of the leg work involved in such a campaign, have no way of getting to the people who choose the delegates to the National Convention.
