Page Two THE SALEMITE Friday, March 13^ 1970 Salem Lags Behind In History Dept. Discussion Topic System Of Dorm Closing FUch ^^J^cdiUTYl CooV^ PvOVok es The closing hours of women's dormitories is a subject of interest and concern on college and university campuses across the country, whether exclusively female or coeducational. The articles within this paper represent a growing trend to allow women to set their own hours. Such moves are based on the idea that today's women are more mature than their predecessors and that, consequently, they should be given the responsibility to determine when they should come in at night. This responsibility is seen as beneficial in the continued maturation process of women students in light of the fact that women will have to accept similar and increased responsibilities when they leave the academic community. If Salem considers as one of its roles the preparation of its stu dents to live in the rapidly changing, fast-paced world beyond the Square, then such a move by Salem would not be out of keep ing with this role. The recent move to extend hours is certainly a move in this direction. But it seems that it could be only a half way measure. Most colleges which have done away with hours for women stu dents have done so for resident seniors and/or students over 21 years of age. This allows those women who are nearest to that time in their lifetime when they will have increased responsi bilities to become accustomed to accepting them while giving underclassmen time to become well adjusted to college life and to experience the maturation process that college brings. Such a system of self-limited hours for Salem should be con sidered. Salem students are certainly as mature and responsible, if not more so, as women at other colleges. Technicalities of such a system could be worked out either with keys, push-button com bination locks, or some other way. One might note that students lived in South Dormitory this past summer under an effective key system. Perhaps the college does not want to "rush" such proceedings. One must consider, however, that Salem lags behind in its sign out regulations and hours system when .compared with other area schools. Consequently, it is time for Salem to catch up and it is time for Salem to become consistent in the regulations which are imposed and the philosophies and expectations upon which they Awareness Among Audien ce By Jane Cross If “Medium Cool” moves us out of the “age of innocence” into the “age of awareness” it is due to the fabulous direction and production of Haskell Wexler. As a dis tinguished cinematographer, he won an Academy Award for his photo graphy in “Who’s Afraid of Vir ginia Wolf?” and earned acclaim for his work on such films as “In the Heat of The Night” and “The Thomas Crown Affair.” In addi tion to directing “Medium Cool,” he conceived the project, wrote the screen play, photographed it and produced it. This film is set against the back ground of Chicago in the summer of 1968 when the mass media showed the whole world the horrors of the Democratic National Convention. The acting is not particularly brilliant except for the unsung per formance of 13-year old Harold Blankenship, who plays Harold in the film. A stroke of luck enabled Wexler to secure Blankenship for the role. Author Studs Terkel met the Blankenship family while re searching the Appalachian ghetto for a story. He was impressed with the alertness and native intelligence of Harold, despite the fact that the youngster could neither read nor write. are based. “Harold was well paid for his work in the film,” states Wexler, “but when we turned over his salary to his parents, we insisted that $1,000 of it be set aside to help Clifton Matthews To Present Piano Concert At Arts School Clifton Matthews, concert pianist, will give a faculty recital at 8:15 p.m. Friday, March 13, in the main auditorium at the North Carolina School of the Arts.

He was a student of Irwin Freundlich for six years at Juilliard. Freundlich is also a mem ber of the faculty of the School of the Arts. As a graduate student, Matthews was a teaching assistant at Juilliard. He studied with Friedrich Wu- hrer at the Hochschule fur Musik in Munich, Germany under a Ful- bright Grant. He also studied with Guido Agosti at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena, Italy, where he was awarded the Caseela Prize for piano playing. He remained in Europe for five years concertizing in England, Scot land, Scandinavia, Holland, Ger many, Austria and Switzerland. In 1963 he returned to the United States and taught at Skidmore Col lege in Saratoga Springs, N. Y. Be fore coming to Winston-Salem, he was a member of the music faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He performs fre quently in solo recitals, chamber music programs and as soloist with orchestras.

Most of the sequences are real-life settings such as the International Amphitheatre where the Democratic Convention was held. Grant Park where the major rioting occurred, a gun clinic, a nightclub, Appalachian and Black ghettos, and even the stations of the CTA. Other filming locations were the bluegrass country in Ken tucky, Resurrection City in Wash ington, and a National Guard Train ing Camp. Wexler carried the contemporary feeling of “Medium Cool” through out by carefully selecting the most appropriate musical score for the film.

Tral tionolly the police there hove not been armed, except for a niglil' stick, but now there is talk by some of carrying guns. As in tin US, youthful demonstrators ore referring to the police as "pigs,' and ore perpetrating more violence against policemen than evei before. Britain has just removed the death penalty for murder of policeman, but many citizens ore thinking that it should be re stored. When the penalty was in effect, Britain lost only 28 police men in 50 years, but 9 policemen hove been killed in the pasi one year since the penalty has been removed. Pay increases for bobbies are being made and hours shortened, but it seems thol some more drastic action must be taken to maintain an adequals number of policemen. The British do not want armed bobbies, because they say that the criminals would only get more guns. Many legislators are making a plea for return to "law and order, How this will be achieved remains to be seen.
