Fantasy Assemblies
Slated For Winter
By Evie Yancey
Fantasy is the world that we
sometimes find ourselves in and
don’t realize how we got there or
what fantasy really means. The
student body has been promised
some very intriguing assemblies in
November and December. Their
subject is exploring fantasy.
The', first assembly, on Wednes
day, November 18, is a collage pro
gram. The purpose is to open up
the idea , of fantasy and ask what
the word means. Included in the
program will.be mu?ic, lights, slides
and dance. The introductory as
sembly is guaranteed to speak to
your senses concerning fantasy.
On November 16, a Piedmont lec
turer will come to speak on Drama
and will include thoughts on fan
tasy. The Thanksgiving assembly
is an experimental one with hints
of fantasy.
In December, Daniel Logan, a
well-known clairvoyant, will come
to .speak on ESP and its relation
ship to the world of fantasy. There
will also be a panel discussion on
drugs and the part they play in
fantasy. The Christmas assembly
will also include fantasy from the
reader’s theater.
These assemblies should fascinate
most of us and stimulate our
thoughts rather than put our minds
to sleep. Try to make an appear
ance at the assemblies and open
your mind 1
Beyond The Square
"Beyond” Reviews State
And National Elections
On November 3rd, 35 senatorial, 35 gubernatorial and all the
House seats were up for reelection. In a desperate fight the Re
publicans tried to gain a majority in both houses of Congress and
the Democrats fought back, both sides spending a tremendous
amount of money on T. V. campaigns.
President Nixon and Vice-President Agnew both campaigned
heavily for people in their party and sometimes against people
in their party, as was the case in New York. Here Goodell, a
liberal Republican was not supported by Nixon. Nixon threw his
support to the Conservative party headed by Buckley (who won).
People are still speculating about the meaning of the election
results. Democratic National Chairman Larry O'Brien declared,
"We're back in business.". The Democrats increased their control
In the House by nine votes and have taken over twelve state
governorships, while yielding only two to the Republicans. It was
in the Senate that the Republicans gained three seats at best, two
if the undecided Indiana race goes against the Republicans.
Nixon did manage to take senatorial seats away from the
liberals Gore in Tennessee and Tydings in Maryland. It was also
a victory, for the President in that the President's party normally
loses much more in an off-year election.
The scene In the Democratic party is hopeful as all the new
Governors and the Democratic legislatures have a strong voice in
redrawing congressional district lines by 1972, leaving a mark
that will last for a decade.
The issues of the election centered around Nixon's attempt to
exploit a conservative drift in the nation caused by disgust with
student unrest, crime, pornography and the revolutionaries. This
emotional appeal proved wrong in many cases. Most voters
proved to be more concerned with the economy and rising unem
ployment. Whether Nixon can successfully rally his "ideological
majority" in Congress remains to be seen. It is now time for the
country to settle down and watch the leaders for 1972 emerge.

Under conservationist’s fire for a great many years
for polluting the environment, during the last year or
so Industry has responded with an estimated billion
dollars’ worth of advertising designed to tell its side
of the pollution story.

but technology just hasn’t developed most of
the necessary techniques.

The full impact of this vast information program
cannot be accurately assessed, of course, but each
individual can make some subjective judgments by
his performance in answering true or false to the
following statements.
Industry cannot stop polluting without going
out of business.
The public demanded throwaway bottles.
We must cut more timber from our National'
Forests or the poor will go homeless.
Water pollution is not harmful to health be
cause treatment plants remove all the harm
ful chemicals and other pollutants.
Conservationists opposing pollution from
electric power plants will cause blackouts
and brownouts this summer.
Radiation from nuclear power plants poses
no danger to the environment.
Thermal pollution from electric power plants
will actually benefit marine life.
Industrial polluters didn’t realize they were
hurting the environment until just the last
year or so.
The federal government is spending more
money than ever before to enforce air and
water pollution control regulations.
There are no “bad guys”, everyone is equally
to blame for our country’s current pollution
problems.
The increasing incidence of water-borne dis
ease is directly related to increasingly pol
luted public water supplies.
In order to prevent pollution, the public will
have to give up air conditioners and other
luxuries.
Private citizens can make a significant con
tribution to cleaning up water pollution by
putting bricks in their toilet tanks and not
using colored tissues.

for DDT but the U. S. Department of Agri
culture is working hard on it.

pollution this year and the health of millions
more will be damaged.

Industry is going all out to support stringent
anti-pollution legislation

The Federal Government is finally using the
full power of existing laws to crack down on
polluters

After seeing Industry’s side of the pollution
picture, all things considered, the big con

unfair in their criticism.

Salemites Help Headstart
Several Salem students are cur
rently involved in Headstart Pro
grams in the Winston-Salem area.
As part of their Education 110 re
quirement, Dr. Elizabeth Welch’s
students will take part in the pro
ject for eight one-hour sessions.
The program was begun last year
by the education department in an
effort to introduce students to the
teaching process. It is expected to
continue.
At the onset of this year’s pro-

BOULDER, Colo. (CPS)—Ameri
ca’s entry into Cambodia and the
Jackson and Kent State shootings
produced the most intense reaction
on colleges and universities with
the highest academic admission
policies, according to a survey by
the Carnegie Commission on Higher
Education.
The commission survey of 2,551
college and university presidents;
with 73 percent responding, also
concluded that colleges and univer
sities in the Northeast showed
greater reaction than elsewhere.
The commission said colleges and
universities that admit freshmen
from the top 10 percent of high
school classes had more reaction
than schools with open admission
policies. The study made no com
ment on this finding.
In the most selective schools,
there were these reactions: 35 per
cent had student strikes of one day
or longer, 80 percent had student
campaigns to communicate with
local residents about the war, 79
percent had peaceful demonstra
tions and 9 percent, violent demon
strations.
Schools with open admissions had
these reactions: 9 percent strikes,
33 percent campaigns, 41 percent
peaceful demonstrations and 5 per
cent violent demonstrations. Some
schools were listed in more than
one category.
ject, students were asked to choose
at which of the Headstart Centers
and at what time they wanted to
work. After transportation prob
lems were solved, each student be
gan to work an hour a week. As
a teacher’s aide, she may work with
any one of the three age groups
at the Headstart Center where the
children range from ages 3-5.
Dr. Welch believed that her stu
dents were, for the most part, en
thusiastic about their experiences
at Headstart. She ascertains that
the program benefits both Salem
pupils and Headstart pupils as the
two learn from each other.
Susan Hendrick agrees that her
Headstart work has been a learning
experience for her, “I’ve learned a
lot about children and how their
home affects them. This has helped
me form a more understanding at
titude.”
Those participating in the work
have been able to work separately
with groups of children and have
discovered several ways to retain
their pupils’ attention. Recently
Mary Funkhouser thrilled her
youthful audience wdth a puppet
which she brought to illustrate a
story she had read to them. Pam
Langston and Mary Erwin King,
who both volunteered to help in the
Headstart Program, had a sing-

Laura Crumpler, Nancy Warren,
and Charlyn Sewell surprised their
children with Halloween masks
which kept them occupied the entire
hour.

they are being rewarded for their
efforts as the children seem anxious
to learn. Mary Edwin King sum
med up her feelings of the program
by saying, “The kids really enjoy
it so much that they seem reluctant
to go home, and because of that,
so do I.”
