This is Dr. Benjamin Spock, the

April 14 and 15. They are Dr.
Richard Maxwell Brown, Dr. Breno
Bettelheim, and Dr. Albert Reiss.
Dr. Brown is a professor of his

wrote a chapter in the report of
the President’s Commission on Vio
lence entitled “Historical Patterns
of Violence in America.”
Dr. Bettelheim is a professor of
Education and Psychology as well
as a psychiatrist and the principal
of the Sonia Shannan Orthogenic
School of the University of Chicago.
Besides his work with children and
the violently oriented, he has writ
ten several articles, one of which
is entitled, “Violence, a Neglected
Mode of Behavior.”
Dr. Reiss is the chairman of the
Department of Sociology at the
University of Michigan and has
done extensive sociological research
in the area of violence.
Further information concerning

Salem College students will be
guests of Old Salem, Inc. for its
special holiday event, “Salem
Christmas—1800,” Tuesday evening,
December 16.
This annual program is a re
creation of the sights, sounds and
smells of the little Moravian con
gregation town of Salem as it was
in 1800. And again, Paul Peterson
and members from the Salem Col
lege Choral Ensemble—all dressed
in Moravian costume — will sing
music known to have been per
formed in Salem in 1800. They will
be in the prayer hall of the Single
Brothers House, and will be ac
companied by a string quartet of
students from the North Carolina
School of the Arts. The Rev. James
Salzwedel, associate minister at
Home Moravian Church, will be at
the 1797 Tannenberg organ.
School of the Arts students will
present vocal, harpsichord and flute
selections at the John Vogler
House, and the Madrigal Singers
of the School of the Arts will sing
period music at the Salem Tavern.
Other restored buildings open
that evening will be the Winkler
Bakery and the Miksch Tobacco
Shop. All of the buildings will be
lighted by candles, and there will
be varied activity in each in addi
tion to the music: baking at the
bakery, household chores at the
Miksch, the roasting of a pig at
the Tavern and the baking of Mo
ravian Christmas cakes at the John
Vogler House.
Main Street will be blocked to
traffic. Outdoor features of the
program will be bonfires, music by
a Moravian band, sentries on horse

Eight New Members Join
Order Of The Scorpion
As Honorary Member and Ad
visor to the Order of the Scorpion,
Dean Hixson would like to make
the following announcement:
The Order of the Scorpion has
been in existence for more than 30
years. Its sole purpose and ideal
is service to Salem with no thought
of personal glory for individual
members or for the Order itself.
Membership is restricted to juniors
and seniors, and the number does
not at any time exceed fourteen.
Membership does not require the
highest academic average or the
strongest record of leadership, but
it does place high obligation on
those upon whom the honor of
membership is bestowed. The Scor
pions have no planned program;
they may do nothing big, they may
devote their energies to intangible,
small, unrecognized needs. They
may also be the moving force or
the quiet influence behind some
larger project. At all times the
Order of the Scorpion attempts to
be alert and responsive in some
tangible way to such needs as may
be observed by its members or re
ferred to it by others.
The new members of the Order
of the Scorpion are;
Seniors—Barbie Barton
Paige French
Dianne Mitchell
Netta Newbold
Juniors—Chris Coile
Dianne Dailey
Sara Engram
Emily Wood
Old members of the Order are:
Seniors—Sandra Culpepper
Sandra Holder
Lindsay McLaughlin
Louise Sherrill
Wendy Yeatts
