Does Salem Measure Up?
Southern Assoc. Inquires
Sizing up Salem
The Southern Association Visita
tion Committee was on campus
from Sunday, April 19, through
Wednesday, April 22. They reviewed
Salem for re-accreditation.
Salem, which was first accredited
in 1922, was re-evaluated for the
first time in 1960. Accredited schools
must be evaluated every ten years.
Last year student, faculty and
alumnae committees worked to put
together the Institutional Self Study
Report. The Visitation Committee
studied this report and viewed
Salem College in all areas—student,
faculty, administration and main
tenance.
The committee, whose headquar
ters were in the Fine Arts Center
library, was headed by Dr. Harriet
Hudson, Dean, Randolph Macon
Woman’s College. Other members
included Dr. Catherine S. Sims,
Dean, Sweet Briar College; Dr.
Willard Davis, Vice President, Di
vision of Advanced Studies and Re
search, University of South Caro
lina; Mrs. Maude M. Bentrup,

Daniel, Assistant to the President
and Treasurer, Sweet Briar College.

ter Marina Gibbons, President,
Siena College; Dr. Walter R. Guy
ton, Academic Dean, Carson-New-
man College; Dr. Iva Gibson, Dean

Intricate Photography Used
To Capture Nature For TV
“The Unseen , World,” a 3M
Special to be seen in color on Sun
day, May 3, 8—9 P.M., EDT on
ABC-TV, lifts a veil of mystery to
reveal hidden wonders of life.
The script of this unique tele
vision offering was written by the
prolific science writer Isaac Asi
mov, whose works are standard
texts in many universities. This
special marks Prof. Asimov’s debut
in the television media.
With the aid of specialized micro
scopes, high speed and time lapse
photography, the special focuses on
man’s constant search and probing
as he seeks ways to see more than
his eyes alone can show, to bring a
new dimension to his perception.
These filmed sequences were ob
tained through cooperation with
scientific communities in virtually
every section of the world. Each
contributed unique and heretofore
unseen examples of their particular
specialities in microphotographic or
high speed, or time lapse techniques
of capturing these unseen wonders
on film.
The sun, the moon and the stars
take on a new mantle of magnifi
cence. We venture into the unseen
world of insects with their astonish
ing form, structure and beauty . . .
a spider with eight eyes, each sen-
Watson reading
sing light from a different direction
... a grasshopper with its two
large and bulging compound eyes,
each made up of thousands of light
absorbing tubes that look like tiny
soda straws.
With high speed photography, we
can follow in greater detail how
current reaches the filament of a
light bulb and causes it to glow,
and can catch the quickness of
frogs and chameleons as they de
vour bugs. In time lapse photo
graphy, we can see the plant world
burst into motion, flowers open,
pine-cones spread their woody
edges, beans germinate, and thin
blades of grass grow before our
eyes.
Assembly To Feature Poet
On the ocean floor, we observe
the world of the sea urchin and
focus on sea anemones . . . sea
creatures that look like plants with
stinging tentacles that entrap other
forms of life.
The second ballet is “Closed
Door,” choreographed by Valerie
Bettis. This dance is based on Jean
Paul Sartre’s play, “I4o Exit”. The
music is Alban Berg’s “Five Pieces
for String Quartet”. “Closed Door”
was first performed in 1959 in New
York.
Robert Watson, Poet in Resi
dence at the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro, will speak
in Assembly Friday, May 1. He
will read selections from his more
recent poetry.
Watson, a native of Passaic, New
Jersey, was educated at Williams
College and Johns Hopkins Univer
sity. He later taught at both of
these institutions. He also attended
the University of Zurich as a Swiss-
American fellow.
At UNC-Greensboro, Watson
teaches poetry in the English De
partment.
Watson’s poetry appears fre
quently in magazines, and two
books of his poetry have been pub
lished. A Paper Horse and Ad
vantages of Dark were both praised
highly by critics. Another antho
logy of his poems will soon be pub
lished.
Brilliant microphotography re
veals growing crystals and living
cell structures, and micro-organ
isms too small ever to have been
seen before.
“The Unseen World” was pro
duced by Jules Power for ABC
News.
