He specifically noted the attitude
of the Turkish people in regard to
their historical past. He discovered
that they are totally unaware of
the historical significance of many
of their ancient monuments and
sites. His insertion of humorous
personal experiences while in Tur
key provided additional interest for
his topic.

This year for the first time,
Salem is offering a summer session
abroad, studying art in Italy. The
s t u d e n t s will stay in a covent
(minus the nuns) in a small, medi
eval town called Asolo, which has
pretty well managed to avoid the
tourists.
Asolo is located northeast of
Venice, about thirty-five miles from
Florence. Once the home of Robert
Browning, the town has been a
favorite retreat for Igor Stravinsky,
Eleanora Duse, Palladio, and Ada
Negri. It is also distinguished by
the part-time residence of James
Moon, art professor at Salem Col
lege and the North Carolina School
of the Arts.
To date the group consists of
three students from the School of
the Arts, Arthur Leonard Price,
Robert Alphonzo Johnson, and
Gibert E. Young; Chip Holton from
North Carolina State University,
and the following Salem students:
Becky Bolt, Patti Hay, Nancy
Holderness, Susan Leake, Vicki
Mele, Martha McMurdo, Dianne
Mitchell, Karen Park, Marilu Pit
tman, Lynn Williamson, Anne
Wyche, and Anzie Jenkins, who is
not officially a Salem student, but
whose sister, Olive Jenkins, grad
uated from here last year.
Dean Johnson will be along, dab
bling away with her paint brush,
and the Michies (all six of them)
are going along for the ride, al
though they will not stay with the
group.
The group will fly from New
York to London June 16, where a
three day visit is planned. Thurs
day, the 19th, they fly to Venice
and on to Asolo, to start classes
on June 20.
Everyone will receive credit of
six semester hours for courses in
studio art and sculpture. Though
the trip is for studying art, those
who have absolutely no experience
are welcome. Mr. Moon has prom
ised to help anyone who hollars!
In addition to art classes, instruc
tion in Italian will be given over
the breakfast table by Professor C.
Acutis of the University of Turin.
William Mangum, currently on
sabbatical for study in Florence,
will also be there supervising the
sculpture class.
The Italian summer is quite hot,
especially around midday, which
gives rise to the noon siesta; the
daily schedule has been arranged

Faculty Grants Suffrage;
Revises Honors Program
Students Get Votc
The faculty, at their meeting
Friday, May 2, approved one of
two student petitions regarding stu
dent representation on committees.
The petition gives voting privileges
to student representatives of three
committees on which students have
previously served as consultants.
These committees are the Calendar,
Curriculum, and Library Commit
tees. In addition, students were
granted representation as well as
voting privileges on the Class
Attendance Committee.
The second petition was post
poned for consideration because of
lack of time.

spread Honors work over a period
of two years, or she may undertake
a one-semester project.
The same regulations for the
original program apply to the ex
panded program. A project report
or a paper from each student in
the program will be placed on file

an actor.

and received his B. A. degree from

Salem is indeed fortunate to have
such a distinguished scholar and
dedicated professor in the Asian
Studies program.
Since
Honors
Honors Program
1960, Salem has had an
noiioi» Program of independent
work. This program has been open
to seniors and has involved three
hours’ credit each semester of the
senior year.
The faculty has now voted to
expand the program to make it
available in the junior year by ad
ding Honors 290 to the curriculum
in each department.
Students desiring to participate m

Readers’ Theatre, Babbitt’s Music
To Enliven Coming Assemblies
Electronic Music
Electronic Music will be the topic
for an assembly talk by Dr. Milton
Babbitt, Professor of Music at
Princeton University Wednesday,
May 14.
Dr. Babbitt, a noted educator and
composer, centers his interests pri
marily in the area of Electronic
music, a relatively new field. He
has been director of the Columbia-
Princeton Electronic Music Center
and is a member of the Inter
national Society of Contemporary
Music, the American Acccoustical
Society, and the League of Com
posers. In addition to his compo
sitions, Dr. Babbitt has also written
for music journals.
Readers’ Theatre
The Oral Interpretation class,
under the direction of Dr. Mary
Homrighous, will present “The
Firebugs” as a readers’ threatre pro
duction at the 11 a.m. assembly in
Hanes, Friday, May 16.
“The Firebugs” is Mordecai Gore
lik’s adaptation of Max Frisch’s
play, “Beidermann and the Fire
bugs.” For this presentation the
play has been cut down to last
about 45 minutes. The adaptation
does not include the final act of
the original play.
Dr. Homrighous chose this parti
cular play for several reasons. The
play is a commentary on modern
society. Also, much of the action
is in the dialogue, which makes it
most appropriate for readers’ the
atre. Finally, since there are five
people in the Oral Interpretation
class, this play was chosen because
of its small number of characters.
The main roles will be played by
the members of the class. John
Hagan will play Beidermann; Bar
bara Smethie, his wife Babette;
Liza Pond, Sepp Schmitz a circus
performer; Carol Carson, Willi
Eisenring, a waiter. Becky Mor-
risett will appear as Anna, the maid,
and also as Mrs. Knechtling and
the professor, Barbara Smethie will
double as the policeman.
C a r i 1 e e Martin, Kathy Clark,
Julia Graham, and DeeDee Geraty
are members of the chorus.
