Gramleys Visit
[Foreign Scene
This summer Dr. Dale H. Gram-
[ley and Mrs. Gramley traveled in
[Europe for three weeks. While
(there they visited Munich, Switzer-
[land, and Venice. The purpose of
[ the Gramley trip was to visit their
(youngest son and their new daugh-
(ter-in-law.
As they expected, the Gramley's
[had an enjoyable trip and returned
(impressed by the beauty of Switzer-
(land and Germany. Dr. Gramley
[made several interesting observa-
(tions such as noticing the absence
(of baked potatoes and the difficulty
I in obtaining ice water.
Once when asking for ice was-
[eher the waiter thought Dr. Gram-
I ley meant heiss wascher and re-
I turned with a pot of hot water. He
[was also impressed by the large
] number of people who tour in their
I own countries. The trains arc
I packed with people sitting in the
1 aisles on suitcases.
Dr. Gramley also noted that the
American youths have much greater
I educational opportunities. Only the
I elite classes continue their educa-
I tion beyond the high school level.
Unlike America where everyone
\vants a job with position and
money, Europeans working in rest
aurants and hotels take pride in
their jobs. Their fidelity to their
jobs is greater because the work is
I regarded as an art.
I The highlight of the trip was
visiting Constance where John
j Huss, who gave impetus to the
founding of the Moravian religion,
1 was tried and burned at the stake
for heresy. The Gramley’s stayed
I in a hotel that still has the old
ii tower where Huss was imprisoned,

Campbell Aids
In Racial Work
Race relations is the primary con
cern of the Reverend Willard
Campbell who will speak in as
sembly Wednesday, September 25.
Rev. Campbell is noted for his work
with the Committee of Southern
Churchmen, an organization which
aids in promotion of racial recon
ciliation. Rev. Campbell has also
worked with both white and Negro
clergy in the South who are striv
ing for better race relations.
Rev. Campbell received his B.D.
at Y’ale Divinity School and has
studied with Karl Barth, the pro
minent German theologian at Basil,
Switzerland. He previously worked
with the National Council of
Churches before entering his cur
rent field. He also serves on the
staff of Katallagete, the magazine
published by the Committee of Sou
thern Clergymen.
Dr. Sidney Kelly, a member of
the Lecture Series, observed that
Rev. Campbell is quite often an
unpredictable and challenging
speaker. He expressed the hope
that many of the students will have
the opportunity to meet and talk
with Rev. Campbell.

Pfeiffer Offers
AIM Program
Misenheimer, N. C. — (I.P-)—
Pfeiffer College’s newly-instituted
AIM jirogram is centered around
an academic-motivation approach
which emphasizes such positive fea
tures as will:
1. Let students set their own
pace. AIM encourages students
to set their own pace toward
graduation. Highly motivated,
intellectually alert students
may complete studies for a
bachelor of arts degree in as
little as two and a half years
(without summer school).
2. Offer a new measuring system.
Instead of grades and credit
liours, AIM measures progress
under a unit system which
recognizes quantity as well as
quality of work done.r AIM
deliberately replaces the con
ventional “lock-step” move
ment of all students in a class
however unequally gifted and
motivated.
3. Encourage independent crea
tive thinking. Through AIM
the student develops indepen
dent and creative thought pat
terns by dramatically increas
ing individual study and re
search projects while drasti
cally reducing the number and
length of lectures. AIM speci
fically calls for seminars, tu
torials, independent reading
and experimentation.
4. Provide maximum course
choices. AIM gives the student
maximum choice in developing
his program of study, in con
trast wdth a philosophy of gen
eral education which assumes

Test To Show
"Salem Image”
A questionnaire designed for the
purpose of describing the environ
ment of an institution of higher
education will be administered to
juniors and seniors during the 11
a.m. period Monday, September 23.
This test is formally called a
“Questionnaire on Student and Col
lege Characteristics.” Sponsored
nationally by the Educational Test
ing Service (ETS), the questions
have been prepared in association
with the College Entrance Examin
ation Board (CEEB).
Unlike many national tests, this
one does not assess students on an
individual basis. The questionnaire
is planned, rather, to summarize
student response in order to de
scribe a particular institution and
the characteristics of its student
body as a whole.
By administering this test, a col
lege or university receives a self-
examination from the standpoint of
its students. Faculty and adminis
tration can, therefore, know how
students regard their institution.
The fifty-minute, five-part test
will ask students about campus ac
tivities and experiences, the pres
sures and influences which have
affected them and/or have caused
changes in their ideals and goals
in life.
Salem's newest scholars are Linda, Judy, and Mary (top to bottom).
This fall Salem has three brand-
new freshmen Salem Scholars:
Linda Wofford, of Hartsville,
South Carolina; Judy White from
Winston-Salem; and Mary Mc-
Clintock from Hickory.
Linda plans to major in psy
chology at Salem, and possibly to
get her teachers certificate. She
attended Hartsville High School
where she was a member of the
Future Teachers of America Club,
and was in the Honor Society. She
served on the student council at
her high school for three years.
Judy White attended Reynolds
High School, where she took an
active part in many speech activ
ities. She won a public speaking
contest in her junior year by recit
ing a selection from “My Fair
Lady,” an honor which her friends
often tease her about. Judy hopes
to major in either history or Eng
lish at Salem, and possibly to go
into college teaching. She was a
Campus Meets
Family Need
By Karen Park
Most of you have probably
noticed some, unfamiliar faces in the
Home Management House, along
with a new tenant on the back
porch. The faces belong to Dr. and
Mrs. James W. Buchanan and their
two daughters, Elizabeth and Laura
Anne; the backporch addition is
Bonnie, the dog Laura Anne found
lost in the mazes of the Fine Arts
Building.
Dr. Buchanan is the new Assist
ant Professor of Chemistry and
teaches classes in general and phy
sical chemistry. He taught at Wo
man’s College in Milledgeville,
Georgia, and at Gaston Junior Col
lege before coming to Salem. He
received his Doctorate and Masters
degrees at the University of Flo
rida, and his A.B. degree at the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Incidentally, Dr. Bu
chanan hails from Hickory.

finalist in the National Merit
Scholarship Competition.
Mary McClintock attended Hick
ory High School, where she was a
member of the Honor Society, the
French Club, and the Spanish Club.
She plans to major in music at
Salem. Her plans after graduation?
Mary wants to attend a seminary—
not to become a minister—but just
because she thinks it would be a
fascinating thing to do.
Profs Organize
Discussions
An evening, discussion group has
been initiated for all interested
Salem faculty, staff, and students
through the efforts of Dr. Eroll
Clauss, Dr. Sidney Kelly, and Dr.
John Spitz. These three professors
began discussing the prospects of
such a program last fall.
A student petition submitted late
in the spring added support to the
program. When a three volume set
of books, Asian Drama by Gunnar
Myrdal was^ published early this
year, the initial framework for the
program was realized.
The subject matter for the dis
cussion Asian Drama was ten years
in preparation. It analyzes the eco
nomic, social, political, and cultural
aspects of Southeast Asain coun
tries, and their influence on the
future of this region. As Dr. Spitz
asserted, “The reading selection
contains much provocative material
which will lead to a variety of, un
usual and interesting topics of
discussion. Regular and careful
reading of the material will be
urged; however, anyone who opens
the book, withoutv previous back
ground experience,will be able to
participate in discussion.”
The group will be meeting each
Wednesday at 8 p. m. on campus.
The first meeting will be Wednes
day, September 25, in room 301
Main Hall. At that timet, a per
manent meeting place will be de
cided upon, and further texts, will
be ordered.
