Sauer’s Flowers Deck
The Halls Of FAC
By Karen Park
The artist currently exhibiting in
the. Fine Arts building is David
gauer (of the Sauer Company
which manufacturers food products
such as mayonnaise, vanilla extract,
etc.)- He has recently been creat
ing something of a sensation by his
vibrant and intensely personal art.
He is not allied with any of the
current-schools of art, but goes his
separate way, painting representa
tional (though not literal) pictures
in these times of abstract art. In
the artist’s words, “I try to make
my paintings very personal in a
day which is so- impersonal.” Sauer
is also a believer in beautiful art,
as is manifested in his paintings.
. Sauer has chosen flowers as the
dominant theme in his paintings, for
“Flowers are as mysterious to the
flower world as sex is to the
human.” Also, the flower kingdom
is reigned' by color, and vibrant,
joyous color is fundamental to
Sauer’s way of expressing himself
in his art. His use of color has
been compared to that of Bonnard
and the Impressionists. Sometimes,
his hues are exotically bold, as in
the Amorous Amaranthus whose
passionate red, pink, and purple
are set off vividly by the blue and
green background. Other paintings
are enveloped in a misty atmos
phere such as the subtly-tinted No
Not and the pastel torso of a nude.
To enhance and give depth to his
colors, Sauer used multi-layered
glazing, which imparts to his
flowers an inner radiance that
shines through the transparent
layers of glaze.
Recently, the artist has started
experimenting with banners, in
spired by an exhibition of Medieval
banners. He uses, in his cloth pic
ture, the same vibrant colors found
in his paintings, and often employs
flower shapes, though abstracted to
geometrical shapes. There is a
great variety of shapes and colors.

Kelley, Griswold Editors
By Sterling Winstead and
Cyndee Grant
The hew editors of Salem’s publi-
:ations were nominated and elected
vithin the organizations. Jenny
Griswold is the new Editor of the
'j^rchway, Lee Largen of Sights and
Insights, and Sandy Kelley of The
Salemite.
Jenny has a double major in Eng
lish and history. Although this past
ear was the first time she has
een on the Archway staff, Jenny
|ias contributed work to the Arch-
ay before. This year’s contri-
ution was a poem entitled “After
Tara”. ...
The staff meets on Wednesdays
at S p.m. and all work is reviewed
anonymously, handed out on
|nimeographed sheets. She feels
^here has been a shortage of short
stories this year because most peo
ple submit poetry. Jenny hopes
|nore people will show interest in
submitting work to and working on
the Archway staff next year.
Lee Largen, the new Editor of
Sights and Insights is a history
jnajor and English minor. She has
Worked on the staff since her fresh-
|nan year. This past year Lee was
co-section editor for the Honors
Section. Although Lee will not offi-
fially take charge of the yearbook
fntil next fall, she will be actively
®*>gaged in preliminary work.
Lee stated that a lot of work has

she realizes it will be hard to follqw
in Kristin’s footsteps. Lee pro
mises, though, to work hard to
make next year’s annual one that
everyone will be proud to have.
Sandy Kelley, a history major
from Albemarle, is the new Editor-
in-Chief of The Salemite.
Sandy comes to this position well-
experienced, having been a member
of the staff her three years at
Salem. Her sophomore year she
was News Editor, and this year she
has served as Managing Editor.
As editor Sandy hopes to make
The Salemite “more a voice of the
student body, rather than just that
of the staff, by inviting guest
editorialists and by encouraging
more letters to the editor.” She
also wants to increase student
awareness of campus activities, es
pecially of guest speakers and As
sembly programs, through publicity
in The Salemite.
Sandy stresses that “the contents
of The Salemite will be a reflection
of the policies and opinions of The
Salemite staff and the student body,
rather than those of the Admini
stration.”
Aside from her work with The
Salemite, Sandy serves as chairman
of the Student Curriculum Evalu
ation Committee. She is a member
of the Faculty Curriculum Commit
tee and of Phi Alpha Theta, honor
ary history fraternity. Last sum
mer she served as Oslo Scholar to
the University of Oslo in Norway.
Student Government Elections
began promptly at 6:06 p.m. on
Tuesday, March 11. Armed with
books, pop-top cokes and plenty of
gossip, Salemites prepared for the
marathon of electing, one by one,
fourteen new officers for 1969-70.
At 6:34, amid whoops, hollers,
and whistles, Nancy Richardson
announced the election of Paige
French as new President of Stu
dent Governrhent. Later Paige, her
face lit up like a light bulb, said
she was “extremely excited” about
the year ahead. Her main ambitions
as President will be concentration
on curriculun and more involve
ment with other schools. Paige is
a piano major from Tappahannock,
Virginia. She has served on Legis
lative Board two years, and has
been Secretary of Student (Fdv-
ernment. When asked about outside
interests, Paige enthusiastically
rates waterskiing as her favorite;
however a tip from L. W. informs
us that frequent trips to Mc
Donald’s run a close second!
Dianne Dailey accepts with
pleasure the office of Student Gov
ernment, or as she puts it, she is
“pleased and excited” at the
thought of her new “job.” Dianne
is a history major from Frankfort,
Kentucky. She has been the Peti
tion Committee Chairman of the
Sophomore Class, and has served
on Judical Board as Sophomore
Class Vice-President. What will
her younger brother and older
sister at the University of Ken
tucky think of all this? They un
doubtedly will be as exuberant as
she. When asked of her outside in
terests, she replies, “golf.” She has
held a Kentucky’s Woman’s Cham
pionship. Will her offical duties
and recreational interests clash ?
“Never,” she smiles.
Sandra Holder was all aglow as
her name was announced as next
year’s Chairman of Judicial Board,
though she said she was “shocked”!
While seryiag in this capacity, San
dra hopes to continue revisions
and make the Handbook more
efficient. Sandra, who calls Kins
ton home, is a psychology major,
minoring in elementary education;
she adds, “I’ll be student teaching
first semester next year, so every
one— please be good.” She has
been on Judicial Board twelve
months as President of Clewell and
as President of the Junior Class.
Emily Wood sat stock-still in
her chair at the news that she was
the newly-elected Secretary of
Judicial Board, but confessed later
that she is very “happy and ex
cited.” Emily lives in Lynchburg,
Virginia. She is a biology and psy
chology major. She has been a
Class Representative to Legislative
Board for two years; presently
she is hall president of second-floor
Gramley. Although she has never
been on Judicial Board, she feels
it will be a challenge and she will
do her best!
Betsy MacBryde claims she too
is "pleased and excited” at the
thought of being elected Treasurer
of Student Government; a perfect
opportunity to use her major in
