Page Two SALEMITE Friday, November 1, Election Provides Occasion B ® U ^ C * N OFF THE BRICKS By Carol Car! •801 For Exercising Of Rights Election Day is fast approaching. Salem has made her choice, now the nation must make its decision. Many will anxiously listen and watch the national broadcasts of the returns that night. Others will nonchalantly glance at head lines the following morning or overhear talk of the final results. The active and loyal American citizen may not spend Tuesday evening and the early morning hours of Wednesday listening to returns, but he is not the phlegmatic American who has shown no active interest or concern in this election of national importance and who possibly will not even bother to go to the polls. The true American has been mindful of the magnitude of the 1968 election and has carefully taken into account what each of the candidates offers the nation. Bound only to his own personal decision—be this the result of long hours of discussion with friends and associates, deep-rooted party loyalties, or quiet periods of contemplation and research—the good citizen will make his way to the polls to carefully mark his ballot November 5. Though one among some 200,000,000 Americans, he casts his vote to fulfill and exercise his responsibilities as a member of this democratic society. Voting is the right of all Americans eligible to participate, but the actual act of voting is the responsibility of the citizen alone. Although the majority of Salemites are legally ineligible to vote this year, an excellent lesson in citizenship has been exemplified by those eligible students who have been voting by absentee bal lot, returning to nearby hometowns to vote, and/or actively cam paigning for a candidate or party ticket. Ideally, this lesson will serve as a guidepost for other students to follow in exercising their rights and responsibilities as citizens. Standards like voting that are established in each of us as young adults will enrich our lives and enable us to fully appreciate our American democratic system.

Office Op©ns For Gov. School For the first time since the origin of the Governor’s School in 1963, the school has a permanent admini strative office on the Salem campus. The Board of Governor’s of the Governor’s School approved in 1966, recommendations calling for a per manent office and storage space at Salem. The new office is located in the basement of the remodeled Day Student Center. This basement area is leased on a one year basis. Miss Brenda Petree was ap pointed administrative secretary and will manage the office year ‘round. A native of Winston-Salem, Miss Petree has taught in the city’s public school system for three years. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in business educa tion from Appalachian State Uni versity in Boone. Other writers contributing this week are Sally Stowe, Jeanne Patterson, Rita Johnson, and Dale Pritchard.

Sterling Winstead Copy Editor po|,y gnsith Advertising Well, the week haF been a busy one with tests, tests, tests, then Halloween, and then more tests and papers. But perhaps we should stop this daily hustling and worry ing and think of those that we hustle by. All of us need to share some oi ourselves with others and to re ceive some of the sharing, too. Per haps we all ought to adopt Chester Cathedral’s prayer: Give me the sense of humor. Lord; Give me the grace to see a joke. To get the happiness from life, And pass it on to other folk. But passing happiness on to an other person is not enough. We must reflect this happiness ^ from within us with a genuine smile. A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who re ceive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. No one is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and no one is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of f r i e n d s h i p. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature’s best anti dote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed stolen, for It is something ii must be given away. Some .1, pie are too tired to give a sm Give them one of yours, as one needs a smile as much as who has none to give. Let’s make smiles a part of , countenances but do not forget t “character is what you are^in dark. (D. L. Moody).’’ Texts ‘'Tell It Like It Is” Concerning Black Powc Students Active In HI-IH Cause By Anne Calhoun Salem’s Democrats for Hubert Humphrey have become a beehive of activity as Election Day ap proaches. The Democratic girls have volunteered some of their spare hours to indulge in some ex citing political activity. The Citizens for Humphrey-Mus- kie headquarters downtown provides ample opportunities for devoted volunteers to help elect their candi date. . Most of the volunteers will spend November S at the polls throughout the city, or at shopping centers on Saturdays. Two hardy Salemites gave up the thrills of the- Carolina-Wake Forest football game to solicit votes at-the Groves Stadium gates, despite a howling and biting wind. They have created a petition which is now circulating to print an ad listing the names of supporters on Salem’s campus and arc working on a city-wide petition to print a thousand names. Volunteers’ efforts arc not limited to the presidential candi dates. Campaigning f o r James Bray, Salem’s own professor of education and psychology, is just as (Continued on Page 3) By Lyn Davis Dick and Jane no longer run down elm-lined Pleasant Street the first grade reader. Now Sam and Jane, one white and other black, are "Living as Neighbors" in the city's slums. Natl Hale is not mentioned in the history books, but Phillis Wheat (a Negro poetess during the Revolution) is given half a page, the college level, Richard Wright is being given credit for be the great author of Negro life that he is. The majority of these innovations have yet to penetrate South and the Midwest. Black power in New York, Washing! and the West Coast has forced the textbook writers to begin "tell it like it is" to all the school children. Many publishers n issue two sets of the same textbook: one for the South with wl pictures and white orientation, one for the North with a m realistic view of life. Unfortunately, many old textbooks that I been discarded os poor ore now flooding the market under guise of being a new integrated school book. In some cases, black misrepresentation almost equals the white misrepresentai that has prevailed for so many years. Black culture is also being integrated in the schoolchildri daily lives at school. Negro counselors, Negro physical educal teachers who teach native African rhythms, and Negro adm strators ore hired more frequently. Some schools on the V Coast hove started to serve "soul" food three days a week in cafeteria. Home economic courses now cover preparation of bi foods like collord greens and sweet-potato pie. Integration, I of the land since 1956, is finally reaching the practical, workc level.
