Thursday, April 16, 1970 THE SALEMITE Page Three '69 - ’70 Officers Give Up Segwia The Gavel In Assembly By Laurie Daltroff The 1970-71 Student Government officers, publications editors, and class presidents were installed dur ing Assembly on April 10. With this annual exchange of power arose a condition of nostalgia, anticipa tion, and the promise of new chan ges in the coming year. Former President Paige French optimistically turned over her purple robe to Fran Hicks. She confessed her belief in the advances made by this year’s SGA, while agreeing that the improvements were not huge, but that they were progress. Sandra Holder willingly abdicated Judicial Board in favor of Emily Wood, who vowed she is a “glutton for punishment.” Judicial Board is a functional part of Salem’s com munity, and Em, having worked closely with Sandra, objectively hopes that the Board can remain a non-biased base for the maintenance of many worthy aspects of Salem. The installation assembly was long. It included much emotion and frequent wordiness. The speeches have been judged by some students to be shallow and hypocritical, but the year is young, and the new of ficers cannot be judged until they have served. We elected the officers and must back them if they are to accomplish anything next year. Tra dition is a strong contributing factor to the Salem College campus, and we at Salem have a strong heritage on which to build. ■ While striving to update the Salem curriculum, we must not overlook the advantages and beauty of the background which is ours. The new officers and editors are willing to contribute much effort for the students’ benefit. Naturally, they embody the spirit of optimism. They hope that their hard work will result in improvements at Salem. True, most students will be dis satisfied with some of the officials’ results—or nonresults, but no one will be able to deny that each ac complishment will be a forward step in the emancipation of the Salem student image. Moreover, students will feel the same sentimental fondness for the ’70-71 leaders when they retire, as for this year’s ex-officers. If we think ahead, iwe can support the new officers and cooperate to achieve a new tradition. Old of ficers, we thank you; new officers, we hope to work with you toward bigger and better things. Committee To Pick Pres. Dr. Dale Gramley’s suggestion to appoint a special committee to se lect Salem’s new president has been approved by the Board of Trustees. The committee will be composed of faculty members, alumnae, students and representatives of the Academy. Dr. Gramley said that the ex ecutive committee of the board is presently making pla,ns to set up the committee. The board will de cide the number of representatives from each group. However, the student body will decide which stu dents they wish to serve on the committee. Dr. Gramley went on to explain that the procedure of choosing a president will be submitted to the committee which will collect infor mation about the possible nominees. All things, former positions, age, education, etc., are considered in the final selection. The Board of Trus tees will make the final decision as to who will be the next president of Salem Academy and College. Silva To Present Concert On Classical Guitar At N.C.S.A.

MORRIS SERVICE Next To Carolina Theater Sandwiches — Salads Sedas •TTie Place Where Salemites Meet" When Andres Segovia, the world famous classical guitarist, recom mended Jesus Silva as resident teacher of guitar at the North Caro lina School of the Arts he said: “Silva is one of my favorite stu dents. But this is a thing of the past. Today he is a conscientious teacher, a scholar and an artist.” Silva, who’ has been teaching here since the School of the Arts opened in 1965, has given a faculty recital each year to large enthusiastic audi ences. His recital this year will be at 8:15 p.m., Friday, April 17, in the main auditorium at the school, and is open to the public without charge. In addition to faculty recitals, Silva has filled many engagements throughout the state and the South eastern area since he has been in residence here. Many of his ad vanced students are gaining reputa tions as performing artists. Silva taught guitar last summer at the North Carolina School of the Arts session in Siena, Italy, where he first studied with Segovia. He and his students paid a visit to Se govia at his home in Spain, and the students had the opportunity to play for “the master.” Segovia gave two weeks of mas ter classes at the School of the Arts in 1966, and has kept a keen in terest in the school, and in Silva and his students. Silva, who graduated from the National Conservatory of Music in Mexico City, was director of the National Institute of Fine Arts in Mexico City and was professor at Mexico’s National Conservatory of Music and at the University of Mexico. He made his debut in New York in 1957, where he was sponsored by the Classic Guitar Society of which he is a fellow. Before coming to Winston-Salem, he was head of the Guitar Department at the Brooklyn What do you think of when you think of April? Showers bringing flowers? I doubt it.
