IBroolcs To Speak About Dean Hixson Announces Names
‘‘Design Of Thinkers” Of Seven New Scorpion Members
By Sara Engram
Who knows?
Who knows how many students
Lill attend assembly next Friday,
[November 15? This question is
Iteing asked by Dr. Frederick P.
jBrooks, the speaker for that as-
[sembly, as well as by Dr. Dale
Iramley. Dr. Brooks is Chairman
[of the Department of Information
Science at the University of North
iarolina at Chapel Hill. He is a
[leading expert on computers, and
iPauck To Talk
About Tillich
Salem will have as campus guest
and assembly speaker Dr. Wilhelm
Pauck, Professor of Church His
tory at Vanderbilt Divinity School
on Wednesday, November 13.
Dr. Pauck was born and educated
Rn Germany. He also attended the
University of Chicago. He has
ftaught history, church history, and
the history of theology at the Uni-
I'ersity of Chicago. From 1953 to
1967, he was professor of Church
History at Union Theological Semi
nary in New York.
Dr. Pauck will speak on the life
land work of the Twentieth Century
jtheologian Paul Tillich. His visit
ito Salem is sponsored by the Visit
ing Scholars Program of the Pied-
nont University Center.
has agreed to speak to Salemites
on the topic “The Design of Think
ers” on one condition—that stu
dents not be compelled to attend
the assembly.
In a letter to Dr. Gramley, Dr.
Brooks explained this unusual re
quest : “I have found it difficult
and depressing to establish rapport
with enforced audiences; it would
be better to talk to 25 who are
there from choice than 700 under
compulsion.
Dr. Gramley heard Dr. Brooks
discuss computers last spring and
was impresed by his humanistic,
almost religious approach to the
relation of men to computers. As
Dr. Gramley said, Dr. Brooks
“really makes the point that there
is something more interesting and
amazing than the computer—and
that is the human mind.” Such an
approach. Dr., Gramley feels, will
be interesting and helpful for
Salemites who are being exposed
to the use of computers this year.
Dr. Brooks is well qualified in
his field. He received his A. B.
degree in physics from Duke Uni
versity and did graduate work in
computers at Harvard University.
From 1956 to 1965, he was employed
by the IBM corporation and par
ticipated in the development of the
Stretch and Harvest Computers.
He was also manager and principle
developer of the system 360 Com
puter, one of the latest computers
to be perfected.
Some may remember Dr. Brooks

ISoulettes And Salemites Mingle;
I Everyone Invited To Join In Fun
i By Martha Rasberry
I Salem College has had an impor
tant group of visitors on campus
for the last month. They are better
known now as the Soulettes!
Very Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. a group
f thirteen year old girls meet in
^ 'ur gym for this newly organized
club, sponsored and originated by
the YWCA.
i Many students have heard about
the Experiment in Self Reliance,
It is an organization working
mainly with the people living in
the low economic areas around the
city. The purpose of the organ
ization is to teach and advise the
girls and foster a sense of friend
ship with people living in these
areas. At the end of last year a
representative from ESR spoke to
the Y Cabinet in hopes of arousing
interest on the campus. The Y
became interested in possible pro
jects in conjunction with ESR and
planned a club for approximately
twenty Negro girls living in the
district near Salem.
The planning over the summer
and at the first of the school year
resulted in a very successful pro
gram. Now, every Tuesday, giggles
and laughter take command of the
[Soulettes meeting. Salemites and
Soulettes have all enjoyed the fun
shared together.
i The first meeting included a
[‘‘Sing Along” with Linda Camp
and Dee Dee Geraty. Sitting around
with punch and cookies, the girls
sang all the old favorites from
‘‘Down by the Old Mill Stream” to
"Georgy Girl.” Last week a weenie
^oast was held in the May Dell.
[The question is who had the most
un, Salemites or Soulettes!
This program, however., has a
deeper and more significant mean
ing than eating and singing. Al
ready the girls have viewed slides
on Viet Nam. Soon they will be
seeing slides of Europe that Mrs.
Esther Mock has offered. Tutoring
will be given to those who ask for
help. .
Arts and crafts is another fea
ture of the program. It is hoped
that each girl will make at least
one gift for a relative as a Christ
mas present. (All of Salem s artists
are invited to lend a hand )
Many people perhaps are won
dering what will be gained from
this program. What is important is
the fact that a basis of comun-
ication has developed between two
surer of Student Government.
Mary Sheppard of Shelby, better
known as the WATR Athlete of the
Week, has a double major in bio
logy and psychology. She has been
a committee member of WRA and
this year its president; she has also
served as house president of Leh
man, on Judicial Board, and is a
member of Lablings, IRC, and the
Foreign Language Club. She loves
to travel; after her freshman year,
she journeyed to South America
and plans a trip to Europe this
summer. What does she plan to
do after graduation ? She wants to
w'ork and take graduate courses.
Montine Bryan, a day student
from Winston-Salem, will graduate
with a major in history and minor
in both psychology and English.
She is a representative to the
Legislative Board and was a mem
ber of the Orientation Committee
during her junior year. She has been
a member of SNEA and the Inter
national Relations Club for two
years. As a senior Montine is the
Business Manager of Sights and
Insights and a member of IRS. In
her spare time she enjoys horseback
riding and swimming. Graduating
with a certificate in secondary edu
cation, Montine plans to teach his
tory until she can attend graduate
school in psychology.
Nancy Holderness from Tarboro,
is an art major with a minor in
sociology. She was President of
her Freshman Class, and on the
Assembly Committee her sopho
more year. Last year Nancy worked
on the Symposium Committee and
served as a representative to Legis
lative Board. As a senior this year
she is President of YWCA. One
program she has initiated is the
Experiment in Self Reliance.
In her spare time Nancy paints—
pictures, shoes, pocketbooks, boxes,
and even a chest of drawers.
The Order of Scorpion, a type of
service club special to Salem,
serves the campus in anonymous
ways. The means of choosing new
members, is a secret known only
to the members, and it is an honor
to be chosen for membership.
These girls work for the improve
ment of Salem as a whole, and yet
they never receive any personal
recognition for work done.
Jewish Society Presents
Gift To Salem Library
Soulettes gather in the gym concluding an afternoon's activities
led by Nancy Holderness and Salem's new branch of ESR organ
ized by the YWCA.
groups of people who have never
known or understood each other
before. These young girls will per
haps finally grasp the fact that this
is their world as well as ours.
Perhaps some of them have just
needed that extra ounce of en
couragement or that sense of con
fidence that the girls of Salem can
give.
Dr. Inzer Byers, Dean Virginia
Johnson, Mrs. Esther Mock, and
other faculty members have ex
pressed interest and enthusiasm in
this program. The hope is that
even more people will take an
active interest. All Salemites are
invited to come on Tuesday after
noons for the club’s meetings.
Hope to see you there!

IRS To Give
Annual Dance
By Sterling Winstead
Hey Salemites, remember the
Christmas Dance IRS put on last
year in the gym with that really
“rocking” band? Well, this year
the dance is going to be even bet
ter. So get on the ball—invite your
favorite beau and buy that pretty
formal you’ve been eyeing in Mon-
taldo’s window.
Music will be supplied by the
Jokers Six and the Marlboros. The
freshmen and many of the upper
classmen will remember how good
they were at the Freshman Mixer.
The festivities will take place at
the Link Road Armory, Saturday^
December 14, from 8:30 p. m. to
12:30 a.m.
Girls may either wear a long
formal or cocktail dress and boys
must wear tux or a dark suit.
Hope to see all of you there!
the Jewish faith and culture. Since
the items were presented to Salem
by the Jewish Chautuaqua Society
of America, they are being dis
played in the library showcase.
Recalling an assembly program
given last year by Rabbi Tolochko,
Salem students may be pleased to
know that upon his recommenda
tion the society made the presen
tation. From a list sent by the
society Dr. Mary Hill, Head of the
Religion Department, and Mrs.
Anna Cooper, the librarian, con
sidered the areas relevant to our
liberal arts program and chose
material not already possessed by
the school.
Martin Buber, a well known con
temporary theologian and philoso
pher, authors four of the sixteen
volumes as well as the filmstrip and
recording entitled “The Life in Dia
logue.” One of Buber’s most widely
read works, I and Thou, will be
available with the other books.
Salem is fortunate in receiving
the gift from the society which
hopes to promote a better under
standing of the Jewish religion and
heritage. This material has been
made available to broaden study in
religion, philosophy, archaeology,
political science, and sociology.
