live Impressions Of Exchange
Brenda Parker
Ed. note: the following para
graphs are the observations and
comments of Brenda Parker,
Jalem’s “exchange student” from
Bennett College.)
* By Brenda Parker
I chose to participate in the Ben-
nett-Salem Exchange for a wider
cope of personal development. An
ixperience such as one encounters
J^n such an exchange allows one to
ecome a better rounded person.
JSuch an experience is significant in
dissolving traditionally oriented be-
fiefs. It is an awakening experi
ence that sharpens the senses to a
new awareness.
There are a great many differ
ences, I have observed, in the girls
at Salem and individuals with whom
I have had previous contact. How-
*ver, despite these social differences
we are all humans with the same
basic goals, that of realizing a full,
enriched existence. This factor
Unites all of us in a struggle in the
search for self, unique to no race.
An understanding of this can unify
all men. We need more interaction
rather than centering our values,
foals, and beliefs around traditional
^boos.
I graduated from a predominately
Black high school and entered a
predominately Black womans’ insti-
toion immediately following gradu-
»>on. Such a background did not
provide the type of insight I feel
■s necessary to experience a whole
some life in our present society.
My major being Psychology I felt
mat interaction with members of a
ycial group in the majority of our
fountry was of great significance.
|il feel that after such an en-
§)unter I will personally be a bet-
isr disciplined person in thought
and action. I hope to be better
^Quipped to become a more rational,
tbinking individual with new in-
*'8bt, thus enabling me to become
a better psychologist.
[Good luck to all the wonderful
Prls at Salem and thanks for the
splendid manner in which you have
%ceived me.
Anne Austin

sentative in the student exchange
with Bennett College in Greensboro
this semester. She is a sophomore
whose home is also in Greensboro
although she is living on campus
at Bennett. Her new roommate is
Janice Gaskins of Whiteville, North
Carolina.
Kathy Clark visited Anne earlier
this week to get her impressions of
her new surroundings. Anne re
marked, “The girls are just so nice
and friendly. It’s almost too good
to be true. This is a wonderful
world.” She also enjoys Bennett’s
spacious, grassy campus.
This semester Anne is taking
urban sociology, American govern
ment, Black history. New Testa
ment, and folk, tap and ballroom
dancing in Physical Education. She
is fascinated with her Black history
course and is really excited about
her sociology project in which she
is working with city officials to
investigate certain urban problems
Women In Ibsen^^
in Greensboro. The night classes
at Bennett are something new for
her, too. She noticed a big dif
ference in Salem’s library and Ben
nett’s. The Bennett library con
tains a large amount of classical
and contemporary Black literature.
Anne’s schedule is rather full with
all her extracurricular activities.
She is happy to be participating in
a tutorial program since she plans
to teach after she graduates. Ben
nett offers, in addition to the re
quired assemblies, a variety of
other special programs for students
to attend which Anne has found to
be interesting.
Bennett College is located in a
Black community and Anne attends
the churches in the area. Bennett
is affiliated with the Methodist
Church.
Anne thinks a lot about Salem
and wishes us well. If you are ever
in Greensboro, she would love for
you to drop in. Her mailing ad
dress is Box 368, Bennett College,

Carla Waal To Lecture
On Friday, February 27, Miss
Carla Waal will, present in As
sembly a lecture on “Women in
Ibsen.” Henrik Ibsen, a Norwegian
playwright, is often considered as
a contributor to the women’s rights
movement, because many of the
female characters whom he de
scribes in his dramas are struggling
to achieve inner peace and fulfill
ment by breaking away from the
repressive structures of the society
in which they live.
Miss Waal was born in Milwau
kee, Wisconsin, but considers Rich
mond, Virginia, as her home town.
She received a B. S. degree in
Music Education from Westhamp-
ton College, the women’s college of
the University of Richmond. She
took her M. A. in Speech and
Drama at the University of Vir
ginia, and her Ph. D in Speech and
Drama at Indiana University.
Scandinavia has been Miss Waal’s
chief sphere of interest in her re
search in drama. She has made
four trips there in recent years, and
wrote her doctoral dissertation on
Johanne Dybwad, a Norwegian act
ress who specialized in interpreting
Ibsen.
Miss Waal has been a professor
at the University of Georgia since
1964, where she teaches courses in
acting, directing, a seminar on the
plays of Ibsen, and a seminar on
the plays of Strindberg. She is
also associate editor of the Quar
terly Journal of Speech.
The acting experience of Miss
Waal has also been extensive. She
has played such roles as Gwendolyn
in The Importance of Being Ear
nest, Beatrice in Much Ado About
Nothing, and Blanche in Streetcar
Named Desire.
