Concluding Episode For Current Coverage Of LLL My dear and avid readers: If you are anxiously awaiting the climatic conclusion of this curious and clueless case, you mercifully may join yours truly in this purposeful periodical pursuit (or dosage of any duration has been known to have detrimental effects on one’s affectations) in regard to Lisa’s limitless little limericks into the crucial concepts of crime and similarly senseless shades of adventurous activities. As you will readily recall, Lisa Lucille was energetically enthrolled with the spine tingling (thrilling though somewhat soapy) myoptic mystery^ of the Ye Old Ice Cream Shoppe waitresses, who were willfully serving Sereni'y C. super students first (that is before the brilliant bevy of cash customers who constantly compete for the selfless service of the witless waitress. The strangely though strategic situation, was increasingly of cataclysmic confusion. Barefoot Betty and smiling Susie were standing absolutely aghast as Lisa Lucille stared, star-struck and dewey-eyed at the dominant and some what domineering figure of the waitress Lisa so wittily welcomed in the previous ingenious installment. Susie seemed similarly struck by Saman tha’s (so singularly inscribed across the simulated ebony and silver-edged name pin of the happy hostess) statuesque stature. Becky stood bug-eyed as the silent Susie shifted her serene stare from Samantha to a more moderately proportioned posture of one Pauline. Becky was bewildered! There stood Susie Smith (normally nauseatingly neat) staring long and (to banefully baffling Becky’s beleaguered wits) lovingly at that absolutely abominable attire. Pauline, prim in a pink pina fore was shamefully shod in boringly brown combat boots. The purple cast of her heavenly Hanes hose fitfully failed to credibly cover the fretful fact that Pauline’s leggy lower limbs had yet to make acquaintance with a Lady Gillette. Bright firey russet ringlets fall from beneath the brilliant hlondness of the waitness’ wavy wig. Most unusual and most baneful (to Becky’s critical concept of the whole) was the awful auburn of Pauline’s meticulously shaped and trimmed Fu Manchu! As Lisa lay languishing over the lean and lanky form of Samantha and Susie sat simpering over the singularly sloppy form of Pauline, Becky came to the cynical though clever conclusion that something was amiss, i.e., the scenery of Serenity C. was suddenly not so serene! What had bewitched her famous friends? What felonious fiend had devised the das tardly demise of her fearless leader? her fearful follower? What mystery mashed these masculine misses ? ? Becky was baffled! “Hello, honey,’’ a deep voice echoed and Becky quickly turned to come face to face with a certain Henrietta Hideously hampered by her time- tossed thoughts, Becky nevertheless noted that Henrietta’s hairnet was not necessarily neat. Golden locks of Miss Clairol’s Creative Color Number 66 strayed strangely out (or was it Mr. Clairol?) Standing a full head higher than our height-conscious Becky, Henrietta was slightly, though singularly impressive, imposing, and inventive (upon possible passages between floor and ceilings and under door frames). “Hello, yourself,” Becky managed to mumble. Henrietta had only one pierced ear and a terrible tattoo on the left bicep. Humm, thought Becky (and it was a humorous humm at that). Becky was suddenly and becomingly bashful. “Ah ha!” cried Lisa, “I’ve got it!” And 80 we bring to a c'imatic dote another chapter in the challenging life and times of that lovely lady of mystery, your favorite super sleuth and her cheerful cohorts—Lisa Long, Susie Smith and Becky Bagley. Volume Lll Salem College, Winston-Salem, N. C., Monday, March 22, 1971 Number 21 Salem Suspends Classes March 17 To Discuss Education-Goals Methods By Laurie Daltroff Wednesday, March 17, marked an advance, or rather an in-depth ap proach to, Salem’s intellectual and social delvings of the mind. Faculty, students, administration, and Herb Horrowitz met together to grapple with the failures and the achieve ments of our system of education. As Dr. Buchanan succintly said later, “Everyone could come out of his little shell and try to communi cate with everybody else.” The mini-symposium began with remarks from Herb (who prefers to work on a first-name basis) con cerning structured learning in higher education by apologizing to his audience for giving a lecture. Herb caught the attention of the listeners, who were fascinated by his concepts of fantasia, imagination, and re sponsibility in the classroom or wherever the learning process oc curs. The people attending the sym posium were divided into thirty sub groups of faculty members, student leaders, and participating students. Each group was to cover in dis cussion any topic desirable, includ ing the grading system, require ments, and teacher-student plat forms. Surprisingly, many barriers were broken down, particularly by professors who in the past have appeared creatures of vastly supe rior knowledge to the students. The afternoon session began with students meeting together to pool their results, while the faculty mem bers discussed among themselves the problems that had been pointed out, the changes that need to be made, and the overall failings of Salem College to provide a satis factory education for both students and teachers. When the contin ue cy regrouped in the drama work shop, it was amazing that the faculty had encountered the same problems common to the students. Wednesday, March 17: Discussion unlimited. Here, Dr. James talks with students prior to the concluding session in the Drama Workshop. Of course some faculty members —as well as some students—de- fe”ded the present curriculum of re quirements, grades, and somewhat restricted classrooms, but the pre vailing attitude at the symposium was one of openess, the profes sors recognize that student criti cisms of the fa'se distance between students and teachers, of external pressure-oriented grades,of the pro grammed attitude toward learning as opposed to producing quantita tive results, are valid, Many im portant tlii igs concerning possible changes were noted in the con glomerate afternoon meeting The general attitude taken was one of the need to create an internal ex citement for learning. This excite ment, which is an ideal concept of education, would closely relate to— whether resulting from or engender ing—the need for individual respon sibility for inner discipline among students and teachers. The follow-up for this symposium has maintained a predominantly optimistic environment for change, tnst as Mrs. Edwards urged us to truly consider our defenses and weaknesses in the system, while p’acing ourselves in the structure of change itself, so we have attempted to keep alive the spirit of intensity awakened by the symposium. Pro fessors have become alert to the sc sitivities of students as indi viduals, and students have begun breaking out of their shells, daring to question and probe in the class room. Will this extension of sym posium excitement create healthy results, or will there even be any permanent results ? The answer lies, within us in the future.
