Judicial Board Explains _
HonoT'Based^ Activities
By Sue Wooten
Every girl at Salem should know
[ and understand how our Judicial
j Board works. The following is an
1 attempt to explain the procedures
'‘that Judicial Board follows.
Our Honor Tradition expects each
student to voluntarily turn herself
in after she commits an infraction.
However, if a girl sees an infract
ion of a rule, she should approach
the girl who committed it and en-
courage her to turn herself in. If
the girl will not turn herself in,
then the girl who saw the infraction
can take the matter to ^Judicial
Board with the other girl’s know
ledge that she is doing so. In this
I way, the girl who committed the
' act has had the opportunity to turn
herself in, or if she has not done so,
she should know who her accuser is.
Judicial Board then investigates
and talks to everyone directly in
volved with the situation. Usually
though, this includes just the girl
who committed the infraction.
Questions sometimes arise as to
whether the girl ought to put her
self on double restriction or not.
I If she has turned herself in or
! knows that a report has been made,
I she should put herself on double re-
J striction. The girl has admitted
i her guilt when she turns herself
* in. Putting herself on restriction
shows that she is responsible _ to
herself and to the Honor Tradition.
Judicial Board does not determine
her guilt or innocence, but rather

Assembly
Salem’s annual Honor Tradition
I assembly was presented April 24.
‘ The lights in Hanes Auditorium
were dimmed and the curtains
opened to reveal “Honor” spelled
out in large white letters across
the stage. A voice repeated the
Honor Pledge, and five different
concepts of honor, represented by
the five letters were given. Dis
cussion groups followed.
The five concepts were express
ed as personal honor, academic
honor, social responsibility, blind
rule-following, and apathy. The
discussion groups explored these
concepts through questions, an
swers, and individual opinions.
Personal honor involves the in
dividual’s responsibility to himself.
If he abides by his own honor, why
should there be any rules at all?
The question was raised concern
ing the more lenient rules and pri
vileges of upperclassmen. Among
the opinions expressed was the
idea that upperclassmen under-
stand more fully the Honor Tra
dition.
On academic honor, the question
of the pass-fail system was exarn-
ined. Many students felt that this
type of system would alleviate
much of the competition for grades
that often causes cheating.
According to one student, group
honor and personal honor should
be the same. Many agreed that
Salem’s honor code is the students
honor code. The question- asked
Was which comes first, Salem s
honor or your own ?
What about the perpetual gri
per? Rules are not to be followed
blindly without examining the mo
tives behind their formation, in
dicated several girls. The group
was reminded of the responsibility
and privilege of students to petit
ion for changes. Apathy, the final
aspect of honor, is not tolerated or
acceptable, said one student.
her penalty for the infraction she
has confessed to have committed.
If the girl has admitted her guilt
and places herself on restriction,
Judicial Board takes this into ac
count in deciding her penalty.
In some instances there is doubt
as to whether a girl has a legiti
mate excuse for breaking a rule.
For example, a girl could be an
hour late but have a valid reason
for it. Should she put herself on
restriction or not? In circum
stances like this one, the girl should
ask her house president or the
Chairman of Judicial Board what
to do.
At the beginning of the Judicial
Board meeting, the Chairman pre
sents the case and details obtained
from talking to the girl(s) invol
ved. Each girl is encouraged to
present her case personally, and it
is to her advantage to do so. Her
penalty is based on her testimony
because Judicial Board takes the
word of the girl.
Members of Judicial Board ask
the girl questions on the case and
present her with all evidence that
has been discovered which the girl
may have neglected to mention or
failed to present accurately. The
girl knows everything that Judicial
Board has discovered during the
investigation and can defend herself
against any information they may
have. If there is discrepancy and
any suspicions cannot be proved,
the girl’s word is taken first.
No student has ever asked to have
witnesses on her behalf. But if a
girl should want them, she is en
titled to have them. But Judicial
Board must be presented with all
sides of the case.
After the girl’s testimony, she
leaves the room, and Judicial Board
discusses all aspects of the case.
In determining the penalty, there
are some general precedents which
the Board follows in order to be
consistent. But each case is decided
individually because every case
differs in details. The penalty is
based on the girl’s testimony and

Dailey Combines Talent, Practice,
Produces Amateur State Golfer
By Annie McLeod
Salem College, whose primary in
terest has been centered in the
“pool hall,” now has an opportunity
to broaden its athletic scope. Di
anne Dailey, a freshman from
Frankfurt, Kentucky, has aroused
interest in golfing on campus by
her outstanding achievements in
the sport.
Dianne, who originally was most
interested in swimming, decided
that swimming was a field rather
limited by age, and she wanted a
sport she could continue. Since
golfing is a sport that can be played
for years, she began to attend golf
clinics four years ago and, luckily
for Salem, has kept up with it.
Dianne indicated that Salem’s in
terest in her golfing had a great in
fluence on her final decision to
come here. In her interview with
the Admissions Office she was en
couraged to keep up with the sport
and told that she would be given
all the help possible when she came
here in the fall. Since arriving at
Salem, Dianne has been aided in
every way by the members of the
Physical Education Department,
especially by Miss Anne Woodward
who takes her to Forsyth Country
Club to practice.
Dianne was lucky to have a girls’
golf team at her high school, but
this came about mostly through her
own efforts. She and another girl
wanted to start a team, and the
coach of the boys’ team told her to
round up two more girls and he
would let them start a team. They
found two more players and went
on to place second in the state
tournament that year. The follow
ing year they took top honors.
Since having been at Salem, Di
anne has played in several tourna
ments and plans to participate in
others. This past fall in a tourna
ment at Mary Baldwin she placed
second. Last week, she played in
an exciting game at Pinehurst and
lost only after tying with another

p.m. was given by Dr. James M.
Hale, Associate Director of the
TEsi project in Atlanta, Georgia.
“A Time For Burning,” nomi
nated for an Academy Award as the
best educational short subject, was
shown about 5 p.m. The movie told
the story of Dr. Bill Youngdahl a
young Lutheran minister in Omaha,
Nebraska, who tried to find an ac
ceptable spiritual median between
the black and white races. Most

The meeting adjourned for supper.
At 7:30 p.m. groups were formed
to discuss the movie and the prob

An hour later the groups as

Dianne plans to compete at the
State Collegiate Tournament in
Greensboro, Saturday, April 27,
along with three other girls from
Salem, Debbie How.ell, Denny
O’Callaghan, and Celia Chapman.
This summer she plans to attend
the National Collegiate Tournament
held in Durham in June.
While in high school, Dianne re
ceived help and instruction from
Tod Houck of Fort Knox, Ken
tucky. She feels that his record
indicates that he is one of the best
teachers in the state. He has pro
duced two Kentucky champions,
one of them, at age fifteen, was the
youngest ever to win the title.

Students Give
ChildrensShow
By Clarine Pollock
“The Three Feathers” by Grimm
is the folk tale which members of
the children’s literature class pre
sented as a puppet show for child
ren and friends of the faculty on
Wednesday, April 17. The tale is
the story of an old king with three
sons who chooses as his successor
the son who best completes the
task set before him.
The puppet show, along with the
Chinese shadow graph show, is an
annual project of the children’s
literature class. Members of the
cast were: Eva Drexler as narra
tor; Ann Copenhaver as first son
(William), Frog, and first maiden;
Mary Jane Boren as the King;
Clarine Pollock as second son
(John), and second maiden; and
Elizabeth Pridgen as Simple Sepp,
and beautiful maiden. The music

shot and then follows it by a lousy
one. Understandably, she also hates
to miss an easy putt. Putting and
chipping are two shots on which
she would like to improve her skill.
Finally, Dianne says that she
doesn’t know whether women or
men make the best golfers, but
that she much prefers watching
women play. Her reasons for this
opinion is that women tend to make
more mistakes than men, but also
have a tendency to pull themselves
out of a mess in a spectacular way.
This makes for a more exciting
game than one in which a man
plays a consistent game.
Students Walk

By Janet Barbour
Students and professors, joined
together on the steps of Wait Cha
pel on the afternoon of Wednesday,
April 14. At 2:30, approximately
300 of those who had gathered

City Hall. Here the Mayor was
presented with two petitions. The
first which had over 250 signers
acknowledged “the white commu-
ity’s obligation to help alleviate the
causes of current disorders through
positive immediate action.”
The second petition consisted of
the signatures of over 200 students
who had pledged eight hours of
their time to work for the commu
nity. The Mayor thanked the stu
dents for their interest in the af
fairs of the community, a short
prayer was said, ■ and . then some
