C., Saturday, May 3, 1969 Number 5 Grass, Trees, Birds Ecologists Go To Study Nature By Barbara Homey The Ecology course may prove to be one of the most popular on cam pus next year after word gets around about the interesting field trips the class makes! Three week ends ago they went to Morehead City and Beaufort w h e r e they studied the different types of en vironments of the coastal plain. Next weekend (May 9-11) they are traveling to the mountains to Rock Brook Camp, where they will look at soil, grass, trees, and birds in particular. The eager ecologists departed from Salem for their beach trip on Thursday afternoon, April 17, at five o’clock, travelling light with bordering the sounds. Here they found parchment worms which bury themselves in the ground in the shape of a figure two. In this area full of mud and dirty black water everyone quickly got filthy dirty— everyone, that is, except Dr. Ed wards, who had come prepared for the occasion, complete with rain coat and hip boots. leaving only little pools with a wealth of marine life in them. They found numerous sand dollars, her mit crabs, fiddler crabs, sea urchins, and even a Portuguese Man-o-War. That same afternoon, they went out in a boat and dredged the bottom of the sea, finding still more types of marine life. On Saturday the group went to a salt marsh to observe the different types of grasses and birds, while Mr. Nohlgren cavorted about with his camera, taking pictures of every one. There was also a great deal of mud and brackish water here, and one enthusiast rvho got stuck had to be pulled out. Perhaps the most fun time of all was Saturday night, when the stu dents were able to sit around and talk informally with Mr. and Mrs. McLeod, Dr. Edwards, and Mr. and Mrs. Nohlgren. Bird Shoal was next on the agenda, where water comes up and cov'ers the sand, and then recedes Sunday, on their way back to Salem the class toured UNC’s ma rine biology station in Morehead City. They also stopped to visit a gum-cypress swamp and to see some unusual pitcher plants, which trap and eat insects.

Madrigal Singers Herald Merry Month Of May By Libby Cain The competition was divided into four categories; sculptures, paint ings, drawings in several media, and prints.

Pauck To Speak n Paul Tillich 7ilhelm Pauck, a leading church historian, will visit Salem College Wednesday, May 8. lOr. Pauck will speak in Assem bly on the topic “Paul Tillich’s Life and Work.” His visit to Salem is (sponsored by the Piedmont Uni versity Center’s Visiting Scholars Program. Jor. Pauck was born and educated in Germany. After attending the University of Chicago for a year, he was appointed Professor of Church History at Chicago The- ojagical Seminary.

Nothingness.” She defines it as a pastel head of a Negro male partially. covered with an overlay of gray. It is an ex tremely unique and most, impressive piece of art. Her drawing is close to a photographic repreSeritatiori, and the overlay combines to make a very interesting effect. A senior this year. Muff is some what uncertain about next years’ plans, but presently expects to work in advertising in Richmond. In the afternoon they examined the maritime forest, which is the part of the coastal plain where the shoreline ends and the forest be gins. “It was interesting to note,” declared Louise Sherrill, “how the same variety of tree grew both in the maritime forests and on the “This Sweet and Merry Month of May” will be fittingly welcomed in song by the Wake Forest Madrigal Singers at 11 a.m. on May 9. Under the direction of Miss Charlton Hynds, the group will present mad rigals by Morley, Bennett, Purcell, Wilbye, Byrd, and Cavendish. O Mine Eyes” by Bennett, followed by Purcell’s “The Mavis” and the hauntingly beautiful “April is in my Mistress’ Face” by Morley. The first section ends lightly with “Flora Gave Me Fairest Flowers” by Wil bye. See page 3 for pictures The madrigal is an extremely democratic part-song: all the voices are equally important, and each takes the lead at one time or an other. In sixteenth century Eng land, where the madrigal was the favorite form, texts ranged from love poems (“April is in my Mis tress' Face”) to philosophy (“The Silver Swan’') to celebrations of spring and pleasure (“Now is the Month of Maying”) to personal compliments (“This Sweet and Merry Month,” a tribute to Eliz- beth I.) Most of these themes will be represented in the Madrigal Singers’ program. The second section, for a change of pace, skips forward three cen turies for “Six Folk Songs” by Brahms; The final section opens with a setting of the Ronsard poem “Mig- nonne,” and continues with “To Former Joy” by Cavendish, “This Sweet and Merry Month of May” by Byrd, and “When I Gaze on My Lips of Roses” by Le Jeune. The last selection is “Let go, Why do you stay me ?” by Bennett, a musi cal free-for-all which, besides being a very good example of the mad rigal procedure, is even more fun than it sounds. The entire program promises to be exciting. dunes, but how the ones on the dunes were stunted and bent in tiieir growth by t}ie salt sea spray.” Next , they went to view the mud flaJs, which are large muddy areas The program opens with “Now is the Month of Maying” by Mor ley; this is a ballett—that is, it has a strong dancelike rhythm, with the melody in the soprano voice and a “fa-la” refrain. This happy mood changes to the deep grief of “Weep, Ake In May Dell Bertie Blue-jay Tells All! By Bertie Blue-jay and flowers danced for Alice. 1 ANNOUNCEMENT ^Congratulations are in order for Dianne Dailey who won the UNC-G Coif Tournament for the second yfar in a row, shooting a 62 on the par 60 course. Hi! I am Bertie Blue-jay, and I live in a big tree in the May Dell. You wouldn’t believe what has hap pened today. For months, I have lived a solitary life. No one even cast a glance in the direction of my home Then suddenly I was nearly blasted out of my nest! The May Dell came alive with songs, pretty girls and a cast of lively characters. I saw my home transformed from a secluded spot to the Land of the Looking Glass as Alice m Wonder land (Ross Strudwick) danced her way through it. Alice’s first encounter was with none other than the White Rabbit (Barbie Barton). From then on Alice came across one strange character after another The Red Oueeii (Carol Carson) threatened to cut off her head^ The Mad Hatter (Betsy McAlister) and the March Hare (Dale Mahood) entertained her at a Wzarre ^a-party. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Durn (Mary Pat LnLn and Mary Pickens) made fu^n of her-Ld so did the Cheshire cat (Sara Hunt). Cards While all this was happening, I glanced at the hill side and saw the prettiest girls that had ever visited my home! The May Court was presented, with Bar bara Smethie as Queen. The May Court performed a graceful dance around the May Pole. While the girls were dancing and the characters were acting, I took a peek behind the scenes and saw many girls there—Helen Jones was listening hard as she heard her skit acted out. Lynn Messick kept her hands clinched during the performance because she was in charge of all the dances. Hillary Masters held her breath as the May Court came down the hill—she was in charge of them. Peggy Hart, Amy Orser and Candy Stell had the satisfaction of listen ing to the music and the tapes they worked so hard on. And Nancy Coble—well—she sat on the hill, as Maid of Honor and May Day Chairman—and she didn’t breathe until it was all over. Good work, all of you! Come back and visit me next year!
