Archway Singers The Archway Singers presented their annual concert in assembly Wednesday, March 12, with a variety of new selections including popular and folk songs, tunes from movies and Broadway productions, and a popular rendition of Bach’s “Bouree.” Wearing white blouses and black dirndl skirts with pastel sashes, Cyndee Grant, Betsy McAlister, Rhesa Reagan, Liza Pond, Mary Fuller, Sidney Campen, and Cindy McLean on the piano followed their traditional opening with “If It Takes Forever” from the movie “Les Parapluies de Cherbourg.” They continued with “Look of Love” and “One Boy” from the Owen Stresses New Trend Dr. Guy Owen, professor of English at North Carolina State University, spoke to Salem students in the library, Monday, March 10, on the topic “Southern Regionalism in Literature.” Dr. Owen said that regionalism of all kinds is on its way out in literature. This may in part be due to an unconscious bias on the part of the editors of literary mag azines, most of which are in the North. The decline in regionalism has also been influenced by the recent civil rights movement. The use of dialect is also on the decline for the same reasons. Dr. Owen said that in his own writing he attempted to apply the rule of Robert Frost: that is, he uses rhythms figures of speech and tone to indicate the locale of a story. Dr. Owen pointed out that today writers .from different minority groups are replacing regional writers as such. A greater number of Negro and Jewish authors are coming to the publishers’ attention. At the present time, movies are receiving more creative energy than fiction is. Dr. Owen feels. People are becoming more movie- oriented than book-oriented. Dr. Owen stressed the fact that a writer must not only see, but feel what he writes about, and he must be able to make the audience feel what he feels. This is the basic ingredient of successful writing. Broadway musical “Bye-Bye Birdie” to end up the first part of their program with the popular song by Simon and Garfunkle, “Scarborough Fair/Canticle.” A little champagne (?) music and a change of clothes brought the Archway Singers out for the second half of their program to perform “Walk Away” and the folk song “For Baby.” “This Girl.” one of Dionne Warwick’s recordings, was followed by an old favorite, “When I Fall In Love.” As a special tribute to the seniors,, the girls performed the Senior Class song for Founders’ Day, “Who Will Walk;” they then took time out to help a wayward traveler, Jane Cronley, with another of Dionne Warwick’s recordings, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose?” After their closing of “May Each Day,” the Archway Singers were applauded back onto the stage to perform one of everybody’s favor ites, “Cherish.” The group’s future plans include a television appearance later this spring which they will make along with the Choral Ensemble. They also have many engagements at Winston-Salem Civic Clubs. HoebelTo Give Next Assembly Anthropologist E.

The forty- voice choir of Winston-Salem State Teachers’ College, under the ca pable direction of Dr. Dillard, pre sented a program of sacred and secular music which was varied in mood and styles. Excerpts from two larger works, Vivaldi’s Gloria and Cantata No. 4 by Bach, comprised the main portion of the sacred works. Also included were Kyrie by Mendels sohn and O Day Full of Grace by Christiannsen. Included in the secular portion of the program were two Swedish folk songs: I and My Loved One and Weep, Father Berg, and Play for Us, and selected Negro spirituals. Dansalems To Give Program By Sandra Pappas Dansalems’ annual spring per formance will be presented on April 10 in Hanes Auditorium. The seventeen-member organization will present Miss Nan Rufty’s thesis dance as well as individually chore ographed dances. Six girls will participate in Miss Rufty’s dance. The theme is geo metrical designs and includes sec tions of triangles, circles, four sided figures, lines, and a combin ation of the four patterns.

Lynn Messick, Celia Watson, and Cynthia Pierson are also going to choreograph dances which will be presented at the Dansalem concert. 44.4, a program for increased independent study presently being investigated by a joint student- faculty committee, consists of a four month first semester from Septem ber through December, a “mini- mester” or short term for one month following Christmas vaca tion, and a four month second se mester from mid-February until early June. The “mini-mester” or short term is the point of the whole program. Its purpose is to provide flexibility and variety in the curriculum. Dur ing this month a student may study an area in depth either in a group or individually under the super vision of a faculty member. This would allow students to do research in an area not covered by a course or to examine a specific topic which course work does not cover in depth. With exams before Christ mas, a student could return to school ready to concentrate on one topic either within or outside of her major field of study. The way in which this program is effected varies with each institu tion under the 4-1-4 plan. Some schools under this system make it compulsory while others make it a voluntary program. Some schools give credit for the short term whereas others do not. There is also a question as to whether the work should be graded or done on a pass-fail basis. However, most - Art Exhibit - (Continvod from Page 1) - Curriculum - (Continued from page 3) asked to comment on those courses which she considers as assets to the department, courses which she feels might need some revision, suggestions for new courses in a department, as well as professors and their manner of presenting the material and structuring the course. Because of the nature of the ma terial being evaluated, it is ex tremely important that students be serious in this evaluation and take the time to consider carefully all of the assets as well as those fac tors in the curriculum which might need revision. ^ This is your time to. gripe, but it is also your time to praise. The committee only asks that your criticism be constructive. from a pastel ladder to a stark black-and-white fowl of some sort, from brilliantly contrasting tri angles of color to the drab curved browns in one banner that looks like. half a woman, from waist to thigh, reflected in a mirror.
