Friday, October 30, 1970 THE SALEMITE Page Three November 4 - Lunch Committee Requests Help! By Sarah Dorrier The subject is January programs and the key word is communication! Salem’s switch to 4-1-4 will bring many changes, the most radical of which is the introduction of Janu ary programs. During this month, students will have the opportunity to ‘‘do their thing”—whether it be community work, a sociological sur vey, research on a favorite author, or travel. In a desperate attempt to set up guidelines and plan courses for the interim ' period, the January Pro gram Committee meets every Wed nesday. This committee has the distinction of being the only stu dent-faculty committee which has an equal number of students and faculty members. Representing the faculty are Mrs. Mary Melvin, Dr. Mary Homrighous, Mr. Clark Thomson, and Mr. Jack Sanders. Betsy Hester, Laura Huddleston, Dianne Hartsell, and Sarah Dorrier represent student views. Several departments have already sponsored ‘‘think tanks” on the Fri. Afternoon In The FAC Cameron Moore Except for the music majors at Salem College, few students have even heard of the Friday afternoon Student Recitals. The purpose of this Student Recital is to give music students experience in performing, and to train them in listening and critical evaluation. For those per forming, the most valuable lessons to be learned are stage presence, poise, and the feel for the audience. All music majors are required to attend. Dean Clemens Sandresky maintains that a student who writes nothing in evaluation is not listen ing, and is consequently considered absent. He 'does not accept simple criticisms like “good” or “poor” but expects more of an analysis of the performance—what was good, and what w'as bad, and why. Although the Student Recital is unadvertised, attendance by other students is encouraged. So next Friday at 2 p.m. when you notice that all your music major friends have begun to head for the Fine Arts Center, tag along—you’ll enjoy it: possibilities for January programs, and, no doubt, the topic has been discussed around the lily pond, at the FD, and perhaps even in the classroom. In order to broaden the channels of communication, the January Program Committee has invited the faculty to lunch in the Refectory after assembly on Nov ember 4. Here’s a little background info on what will happen : Last spring each department turned in a list of tentative January programs. The lists were briefly considered by the committee and then returned to department chair men for revision. These revised lists—consisting of two course sug gestions per faculty member in a department—will be mimeographed and a copy given to each student at the November 4th assembly. Then at each lunch period there will be a faculty member at every table to lead a discussion. Topics for consideration include the following; 1— Possibilities . for on-campus pro grams with attention to such things as independent study, the format of the course, and the size of the class, 2— Problems of off-campus pro grams, especially the financial as pect, and 3— Reactions to specific courses as listed on the mimeographed sheets. If you’re a history major, go sit' with Dr. Edwards or Dean Sand resky. If you’re a math major, be sure that Dr. White and Dr. Lewis know wdiat programs would appeal to you. January will be fruit- basket-turn-over month — the time that students will be able to experi ment and explore new interests, so make an effort to communicate with all departments. We on the January Program Committee are working to come up with the best courses we can pos sibly offer. But 537 heads are bet ter than just eight, so let’s hear it from the student body!! Ex-Fisherman Joins Salem’s Illustrious Faculty By Jan Shivel The English Department has an additional mustache this year. , It belongs to Mr. Bill Hagen who comes to Salem after two years of teaching at East Tennessee State. Mr. Hagen received his B.A. and M.A. from Greensboro College. After receiving his B.A., and before studying for his M.A., he spent a year in Birmingham, England where he was a Rotary Scholar. During his sojourn there he hitchhiked to Naples for Christmas vacation, and worked on a fishing trawler over Easter. Mr. Hagen does not like fish but he does like Salem. He enjoys the atmosphere of a small college. He finds that Salemites are more sop histicated than the students he taught at East Tennessee. Their work, however, is similar to that of his former students, but dis cussions are more fun at Salem. Preparation for his two freshman Mr. Hagen English courses is enjoyable to Mr. Hagen. He believes that stu dents should use literature as a “vehicle for discovering what things are true about life.” Commenting on those “thorn in the flesh” themes freshmen are required to write, Hagen asserts that they are im portant in training one how to ex press oneself. Explore Tanglewood — Find Recreation, Relaxation By Laurie Daltroff Many Salem students are un aware of the panorama of recre ational facilities available in the Winston-Salem area.

Consequently to gather it a trick was adopted. A dog was tried to the overground part and some food placed out of reach of the dog, but visible to it. Then the operator rode away. The dog struggled to get the food, uprooted the man drake and dropped dead on hearing the shriek. Then the operator returned and collected the uprooted speci men.

No, Tanglewood is a recre ational park which includes a lake, stables, campgrounds, golf course and tennis courts, miniature golf, pavilions, a Manor House, and cot tages and motels. Every day this versatile place hosts hordes of peo ple spanning the American scene. Lovers, families of all sorts, ath letes, senior citizens, and flower children are welcomed at Tangle wood. Tanglewood is available to any- ..body who pays the twenty-five cent entrance fee, and who leaves his or her motorcycle at home. The Tanglewood office rents shelters to fraternal organizations, businesses, etc., and has provided a winterized pavilion. Walnut Hall, for groups desiring a scenic setting when the weather turns icy. The Manor House also is available for lease. according to the arrangements made. The golf course and tennis courts are open daily, as are the stables. The hours of all these facilities correlate with the park’s regular hours which last from 8:00 A.M. until 6:00 P.M. After Labor Day each year the miniature golf course and the lake are open only on weekends, from 8 till 6. The time change and off-season weather, moreover, affect the family camp ing grounds, which close in Novem- bei due to reduced crowds and cold weather. Tanglewood officials always are happy to answer questions concern ing their facilities. Officials urge anyone desiring more information about Tanglewood to call 766-6421. Inquiries wall be answered with a smile, and a cheerful voice will coax the questioner into visiting Tangle wood simply to enjoy the trees, bushes, and shrubs, if nothing else. tt Impact” Is Powerful By Libby Cain Wednesday’s assembly, appropri ately titled “Impact”, was one of the most exciting presentations Salem has seen. The program had to do with the use of techniques of chance in music; it included one piece by well-known contemporary composer Lukas Foss and three stu dent compositions. The student compositions grew out of an assignment given by Miss Patricia Pence in her American Music class last semester. The title “Impact” was given, and the in struction that chance should be used. The program opened with a piece for organ by Lukas Foss. The piece, instead of staves and tradi tional notation, has a “recipe.” It calls for three players: one is to play the four lowest consecutive notes on the keyboard, the second the four highest, and the third is to play “Onward, Christian Sol diers” in the middle. It is the re sponsibility of the middle person to keep the music going and keep it recognizable, while the two outside players interfere, first by changing stops, then by actually climbing all over the instrument while the mid dle player fights them off. When she can no longer continue, she has the option of obliterating them by turning off the organ—but in so doing she also obliterates herself. This struggle for survival was per formed with great energy by Jane'|| Dimmock, with interference from Diane Ward and Cindy McLean. The second piece was a composi tion by Nancy Hunter entitled “Your Brother’s Keeper,” which ex plored the destructive powers as well as the unifying uses of rhythm. There are seven players, each hav ing three measures of music in 4/4 time to play. They enter in succes sive layers, each added rhythm more complex than the last. The piece ends when the overlapping rhythms become so indistinguish able that one of the players makes a mistake. Thus, each player is re sponsible for the whole. The third piece, by Sally Rhodes, a 1970 graduate, was performed only in part. It explores the con flict between time, represented by a triangle, and eternity, represented by a circle. ' The last piece, a tape by Mary Joan Potter, explored the concept of finite time and the uses of silence and boredom. The basic idea ■ is that we each have a limited amount of time, which we may either use or waste. At some unforeseeable point time will cease. Time is sym bolized by the ticking of a metro nome, interrupted by other sounds from various sources. The alter nation of ticking and other sounds continues until the listener begins to feel bored; then, suddenly, the metronome stops. The effect is overwhelming; one feels as though he has been “killing time” and sud denly—has succeeded.
