Christ-Janer Gives Life, Students Announce Ineligibility
Symbolism To Buildings Pq|. 0overnment Offices
Victor Christ-Janer
Victor Christ-Janer, an architect
and Danforth lecturer, spoke in as
sembly on February 19. His address,
[“Constituent Imagery and Poetic
Reasoning,” was an attempt to ex
plain the existential nature of crea-
Itivity.
Creativity, explained Mr. Christ-
Janer, is a grasping process, a per-
[ception, a sort of revelation. In the
first half of the assembly, the archi-
kect discussed several of his ideas
[concerning the “acting out of the
'life experience.” In an anecdote,
jMr. Christ-Janer told of his child-
jren and a snow house that he had
feuilt for them. He explained how
[the actual level of reality is above
[the cerebral actuality of the snow
house. He went on to explain how
Ldeas of objects can exist above and
[beyond concrete reality. The exis-
jtential reality of ideas causes them
[to rise above what we might ordi
narily perceive, concluded Mr.
(Christ-Janer.
The second half of the assembly
(was a showing of Mr. Christ-
Janer’s architecture and how he re
lated his beliefs to the buildings he
designed. He began the slide show
by explaining his belief in life as a
labyrinth, in which man is syrn-
(metrical only in death, when he is
. not moving. Some of the buildings
■ that Mr. Christ-Janer designed have
such features as a “passion pit,
which directly relates to the normal
activities that occur in most any
Bgirl’s school-^although normally no
\one makes provision for it. In con-
' elusion, Mr. Christ-Janer showed
'slides of several of his daughters
idrawings. He explained that their
I childlike paintings actually related
to the concepts he had just ex
plained.
Mr. Christ-Janer also lectured to
the general public on Wed. night,
and he also addressed several of the
art classes before leaving the col
lege.

Students Tell Assembly
Of Oslo Experiences
The Salemite wishes to apolo
gize to Lindsay McLaughlin for
omitting her name from the list
of girls named to the Honor
Society during assembly, Febru-
ary 12.
By Jane Crocs
What could be more fun than a
summer in Oslo ? I don t think
Sandy Kelley and Joan Hobbs ever"
could be convinced that any exper
ience in the world would have
equalled their summers as Oslo
Scholars. For six weeks, they
attended the International Summer
School in Oslo, Norway. Scholar
ships are provided each year by the
L. Corrin Strong Memorial Fund
so that two Salem girls, a rising
senior and a rising junior have the
opportunity to repeat the exciting
experiences of Joan and Sandy.
The scholarship is $800, half of
which is used for tuition, room, and
board, the other half for transpor
tation—Sandy and Joan told of the
perrogative to travel either by plane
or boat. They went over by ship
and arrived in Oslo, June 27. From
then until their return September 6
there was never a dull moment.
Every day was a learning expe
rience of meeting new friends,
travelling, and studying, with
plenty of time for fun.
The University of Oslo s Inter
national Summer School had stu
dents from 46 different countries.
Joan and Sandy described the
environment as ideal for ‘ one could
be oneself” and form close and
lasting friendships . . . • although
there were no language Earners,
for everyone spoke English at the
Summer School, Sandy and Joan
found the face and life of youth to
be universal.
The beautiful slides they showed*
the wonderful experiences, seemed!
so fascinating that I am sure we
can hardly wait to find out who
this year’s Oslo Scholars will be
and look on them with respect as
well as a tinge of envy for the
wonderful time they will have and
the tremendous learning experience
they will be able to participate in.
Kline To Speak
Of Mathematics
Mathematician, Morris Kline, will
be the next speaker in the series
of lecturers sponsored by the Pied
mont University Center. Dr. Kline,
who did undergraduate and doctoral
work at New York University, and
is now Chairman of the Department
of Mathematics there, will visit the
Salem campus on Wednesday, Feb
ruary 26. He will speak at the
11 a.m. assembly, and will have
lunch with mathematics students at
noon.
Dr. Kline has written several
mathematics textbooks, and is the
author of Mathematics in Western
Culture and Mathematics in the
Physical World. His lecture, en
titled “The Cultural Reaches of
Mathematics,” will show the in
fluences of mathematics in non-
mathematical areas of western cul
ture, including our world outlook.
Dean Ivy M. Hixson has an
nounced several changes in the aca
demic curriculum. They are as fol
lows :
1. The Health Knowledge Test
will no longer be given to fresh
men. Health lectures will also be
discontinued, and health instruction
will be included in the body mecha
nics course.
2. Four new courses have been
approved:
Sociology 130. Cultural Anthro
pology (3)
A study of primitive societies,
present, historical, and pre-his-
torical as to their social organi
zation and cultural attainment.
No pre-requisite. (Wendt)
The Department plans to alternate
this course with geography, teach
ing geography in the fall and an
thropology in the spring. The new
course would be open to freshmen.

ments according to their posi
tion in the periodic table.
Prerequisite: Chemistry 1-2
Co-requisite: Mathematics 30.
Biology 20. Experimental Physio
logy (4)

comparative, and mammalian
physiology With emphasis on an
experimental understanding of
physiological processes.

hour laboratory period.
Prerequisite : Biology 1-2.
3. Physiology will no longer be
a requirement for a Bachelor of
Science degree.
4. Physical Chemistry 301-302 will
be a requirement for a Bachelor of
Science degree in chemistry.
5. Chemistry 101, 102 will carry 4
hours of credit each semester.
6. Change Biology 106, Ecology,

8. Change Biology 101-102 from a
year course to two semester
courses with the following de
scriptions :
a. Biology 101 (3) Morphology
of Non-seed Plants
A comparative study of the
non-seed plants with emp
hasis on morphology, ana
tomy and phylogeny. Cul
turing andl growing tech
niques are taught in the
laboratory in addition to a
systematic study of the
plant groups.
Prerequisite: Biology 1-2.

hour laboratory.
Mr. McLeod
b. Biology 102 (3) Taxonomy
of Seed Plants

from the local Spring
Flora. One extended field
trip to the Great Smokies
is taken in the spring.
Prerequisite: Biology 1-2.
1 lecture, 2 three-hour
laboratories. Mr. McLeod
