Smith Advises Salemites On
January Program Plans
Pandatn Guritno
By Barbara Homey
Dr. Robert Smith, Chaplain and
Professor of Philosophy at Colgate
University, spoke to a large assem
blage of Salemites concerning Col
gate’s “J” program, or January
program Tuesday, October 14, in
Hanes Auditorium.
The January program is one
which enables the student to spend
the entire thirty-one days of Jan
uary in doing independent study or
research projects. The students
often are given almost completely
free rein by the administration in
determining the area in which they

IBallet To Open
Civic Music
By Libby Cain
Music Editor
The Winston-Salem Civic Music
■Association begins its 1969-70 sea-
|son next week with the Pennsyl
vania Ballet Company.
The Pennsylvania Ballet, a troupe
■only five years old, is one of the
loutstanding American dance groups.
lUnder the direction of Artistic
I Director Barbara Weisberger, they
[have toured widely through the
lUnited States since their New York
[debut in 1968, and they have re-
[ceived uniformly good reviews.
The dancers are a young and in-
jternational group, including repre-
Isentatives from France, Australia,
[Japan, Yugoslavia, and at least a
[dozen states. They were recently
[joined by Marjorie Philpot from
[the dance department of the North
[Carolina School of the Arts.
The touring repertoire is based
[on accepted modern classics and in-
jcludes Balanchine’s Concerto Bar-
jrocco. Four Temperaments, Allegro
I Brillante and Symphony in C, An-
[tony Tudor’s Lilac Garden; tradi-
[ tional divertissements such as the
I pas de deux from Le Corsaire, Nut-
1 cracker. Sleeping Beauty; plus
[modern dance works by Anna So-
[kolow and John Butleo, with even
I newer works, many created for this
[■company. The program for October
1^, has not been announced.
All in all, the Pennsylvania Bal-
I let’s credentials are impressive and
[the performance here promises to
|l>e exciting. Performance time is
18:30 p.m. Thursday, October 30, in
[.Reynolds Auditorium. Admission is
[by season ticket only.
Pandam Guritno is leading the
Asian studies course at Salem and
Wake Forest this quarter in a study
of Indonesia. Mr. Guritno is a
native of Central Java and attended
Gadjah Mada University in Jog-
jakarta. He later received Masters
degrees in law and in anthropology
from the University of Indonesia in
Djakarta. He has also studied at
Cornell and Michigan State Univer
sity in the United States.
Mr. Guritno is an expert on the
art of Javanese shadow play and
has contributed to the book On
Thrones of Gold, edited by Profes
sor James Brandon. The book will
be published soon by Harvard Uni
versity Press. Mr. Guritno has
given a demonstration of the sha
dow play at Wake Forest and may
be able to arrange a presentation
at Salem before his departure in
early November.
Mr. Guritno’s wife recently joined
him here in North Carolina. She is
a native of East Java and was for
merly head of the Bureau for Pub
lic Information at the University of
Indonesia.
want to do independent study.
Grades of “satisfactory” or “un-
saisfactory,” are the only ones
given, so that students do not feel
that they are under a great deal of
pressure to make a good grade.
They are, however, required to
submit a project summary of their
study within one month after they
have finished their project.
Dr. Smith warned against trying
to adopt this program into the
Salem curriculum as it now exists.
Other schools have done this, and
have had problems afterwards.
Colgate has done away with its
hour system, and students no
longer have a major or minor. Four
courses per semester are taken
from different categories of courses
such as Natural Sciences, Humani
ties, Social Sciences, and so forth.
The first semester ends in Decem
ber, with exams being completed
before Christmas. This is a prefer
able way to set up a curriculum for
a “J” program. Dr. Smith thinks,
and it could be done at Salem,
probably within a year and a half.
Many varied and fascinating
areas of study are pursued at
Colgate during the month of Jan
uary. A professor often gives a
course that he himself is strongly
interested in, or that a group of
students have requested him to
teach. For instance, one professor
gave a course in oinology, the his
tory and methods of making and
L. A. Coser To Analyze Society
Salem College will soon welcome
Lewis Alfred Coser, Professor of
Sociology, State University of New
York at Stoneybrook. Dr. Coser
will present his lecture, “Social
Conflict and Social Change,” on
Wednesday, October 29, at 11:00
' a.m. in Hanes Auditorium.
A s t u d e n t at the Sorbonne in
France, Dr., Coser received certifi
cates d’studes superieurs in sociol
ogy, German literature and com
parative literature. He came to the
United States in 1941 and became
a member of the President’s Advi
sory Committee for refugees living
in political danger in. Vichy,
France. He became an analyst for
the Office of European Economic
Research and later served as
French and German Editor for the
Office of War Information.
After teaching at the University
of Chicago from 1941 to 1950, Dr.
Coser received his Ph. D. in so
ciology at Columbia University in
1954. He has remained on the
faculty at State University of New
York since 1951, while acting as
visiting professor at the University
of California at Berkeley.
Among his published works are
articles on three topics: sociology,
literature and international politics.
He has written such books as The
Functions of Social Conflict, So
ciological Theory and Sociology
through Literature. In addition, he
has edited Max Scheler’s Ressenti-
ment, Georg Simmel, and Men of
Ideais.
tasting wines. One boy traveled to
Florida and studied the web-mak
ing habits of certain spiders, which
later led him to do graduate study
in biology. Still another group of
students were given an opportunity
to learn the banking business—
from the vice presidential level!
The program seems to be quite a
valuable one at Colgate, and should
be given careful consideration here.
Shaw Classic
Presented Soon
By Celia Watson
Alive with glue-slingers, flat
stretchers, prompters, make-up art
ists, and cockney accents is the
Drama Workshop as production
date for November 12-45 draws
near. The Pierrette Players’ fall
presentation is not to be mistaken
for a Twin-City rendition of Lerner
and Lowe’s My Fair Lady. It is
rather George Bernard Shaw’s^
delightful Pygmalion, sans a happy
ever after Dolittle-Higgins nuptial
tie, yet ending with other spousal
prospects for the Professor’s new
found gentlewoman.
The characters of the play are
familiar to many: the shoddy
flower girl, Eliza (played by Caro
line Hughes), the professor of
phonetics, Henry Higgins (por
trayed by Jerry Crawford of
Winston-Salem), Colonel Pickering
(our own Bill Mangum), Mr. Do-
little, (Mr. Garbor), the Eynsford
Hills (Celia Watson, Dee Dee
Geraty, Steve Loveland), the house
keeper, Mrs. Pearce (Chris Verras-
ro), maid, policemen, and crowds.
Tickets will be available at the
box office about one week before
opening night, Wednesday, Novem
ber 12. Until that time, WORK
DAYS will be held every Saturday
Imorning in the Workshop. All
interested hand-laborers are cor
dially invited to attend.
