Salemites Stampede-
Shows Need For Change
Pre-registration is never free from problems, but the herd scene
last Wednesday morning should certainly be avoidable at a school
of this size. The pre-dawn stampede to line up for numbers in
dicated that many students are panicked about getting their courses
for next semester. Apparently, much of the panic is due to the
fact that changing requirements are giving the freshmen a wider
choice of courses. As a result, juniors having high numbers, and
thus registering later on Wednesday or Thursday, were finding
courses they needed already filled.
To Whom Ever:
Student Service Council's number plan may have helped stimu
late the early-morning rush, but it had definite advantages. Once
the numbers were given out, registration proceeded in an orderly
enough fashion. Assigning blocks of numbers to certain time
periods greatly eased the burden on the Registrar's Office by
giving workers time to catch up between the big rushes.
However, if 450 students are to have equal chances at courses, it
is doubtful that even assigning numbers will reduce the race to be
first in line. Some system of preference will have to be established.
The most logical order of preference seems to be by classes. But,
in any case, pre-registration definitely needs some evaluation as
well as some kind of therapeutic action for the Stampede Syn
drome.
Experimental College Program
Offers Extracurricular Wisdom
The advent of second semester at Wake Forest will signify the advent of this year’s Experimental College,
This ‘College’ provides students from Wake Forest and Salem the opportunity to indulge their curiosities in the
unusual. The college will provide no credit and no grades, and will offer the knowledge of professors, students,
and townspeople who are up-to-date in such things as encounter groups and their techniques, art, judo, guitar
lessons, and cooking.
There also will be discussion groups on a wide range of topics, including one course in autosuggestion which
will have an unlimited enrollment. Anyone interested in amateur winemaking? Well, the Experimental College
will instruct those interested in the arts of the little old winemaker. Useful skills, such as sign language for
those who wish to work with the deaf will also be taught by professionals.
Most of the courses are free, except for the costly courses such as the cooking course, in which the partici
pants will provide their own food. At this time the directors of the Experimental College have not completed
the semester’s catalogue, but hope to have it completed before exams are over, or by the date of registration—
which is the same as that for regular Wake Forest courses. More information will be distributed to us through
The Salemite as we receive more information from Wake Forest. Enrollment of Salem students will not be in
convenient since the College people plan to come to Salem after 2:00 P.M, to register any students int-'rested.
This program has. been very successful in past years, and Salem hopes to be able to contribute to it within the
next few years.

Come to Salem College and be
come a barbarian. Honestly, never
in my life have I experienced any
thing so completely assinine as Pre-
Registration on Jan. 13th. Those
gals who are fortunate enough to
have the money and the permission
spent the night in local hotels to be
the first ones to get numbers. These
people began arriving at Main Hall
at 4:30 a.m.! People who had to
stay in the dorm really pulled some
boners. For instance, setting clocks
ahead, getting up as early as 3:30
a.m. to be the first ones to be at
the reception or date-room doors
when the dorms were supposed to
open at 6:30, so they can fly to
Main Hall,—And fly they did. The
first ones of those who stayed on
campus to come through the doors
arrived at 6:17 a.m. (Unlocking
locked doors—mmm!) Then conver
sions from two of the larger dorms
trampled and I mean trampled each
other arriving about 6:20, getting
numbers beginning with 136! The
poor kids who waited until 6:30 got
numbers beginning at about 22o.
Salem, this is rediculous! When
people have to get medical care
from the injuries they received from
attempting to get the courses for
which they are paying $1500 a se
mester or $300 a course, (incidently
the people in the infirmary were
awakened by strong crosswinds
from the Babcock and Gramley jet
stream), when we have to mutilate
other people in this process, it’s
time to do something. I really
don’t know whether it’s the diffi
culty of the courses the prJ
semester, or the lack of ejL
diversification of courses. But,|
we have to resort to panic f
barian tactics, mass hysteria
dishonesty—it’s time for a haliL
People may blame who took J
nights but at least they are aliil
tell they were first—a little titJ
but at least all in one piece,
I don’t know the answer J
hope SSC finds some other solj
to people butting in lines. 1

Beyond The Square
Arab-lsraeli Talks Tense
War May Be Immineii
After four months, the Middle East peace talks are unden
again. Gunnar Jarring, the United Nations mediator for the peJ
talks, is trying to settle the issues by seeing each governm|
representative separately. Neither Jordan nor Egypt wrill deah
Israel at the peace table, although Israel would like to facei
Arabs directly.
The present cease fire which is in effect in the Middle Easti
expire on February 5. Procedural issues still dominate the
talks. Israel would like to see the talks held in Cyprus betwij
foreign ministers. The Arabs are desirous of talks at the
involving ambassadors while having foreign pressure placed
Israel.
What the three countries of Israel, Jordan, and Egypt agree
is the fact that Israel will have secure borders in return for
area of land she conquered in the 1967 war. The Arabs wi
Israeli troop withdrawal before any other conditions are moi
while Israel demands that her borders be secure before she wi
draws her troops. Whether the cease fire will be extended oil
February 5 remains to be seen. Either Jarring will have to toi
up with a suitable peace plan or Sadat, the Egyptian Preside
claims Egypt will not continue under the present cease fire. Isn
wants her guarantees in writing before they start withdrowi
troops.
Tension is so great now that without a formal cease fire a foui
Arab-lsraeli war might be imminent.
