A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, she re- sived her MBA from Harvard and will work with Dean Hixon on the istitute for Curricular Reform. We don’t know yet if she will be teach- ig a course. The following article is a com pilation of an excerpt from the re cent proclamation of Earth Week, 1972 and an accompanying letter, both by President Richard Nixon. For the Nation and for the world, there are few issues of greater moment than the quality of our environment. As civilizations have evolved, man has increasingly altered his world to accommodate his needs. Today, our immense technological expansion affects the earth more than at any earlier time. The air, water, and natural re sources of the earth are not in exhaustible, yet we continue to make major and often contradictory demands on these resources. If man is to preserve the natural heri tage upon which his survival and the quality of his life depend, he must make resolute choices and fix uncompromising priorities. The environmental awakening of years marks a new maturity in our attitudes toward the relationship of man to his surroundings. We have made a beginning, but it is only a beginning. Every American — and indeed every citizen of the world-^ must endeavor by earnest and sus tained effort to nuture this earth which we all share. Recently I proclaimed the week of April 17-23 as national “Earth Week,” and I would like to ask your assistance in making that period an occasion for all citizens to work together on improving and restoring our environment. Surely there could be few issues of greater moment in America. As I observed in that proclama tion, “The environrnental awaking marks a new maturity in our atti tudes toward the relationship of man to his surroundings ... We have made a beginning in this new era of environmental enlightenment. But it is only a beginning. Every American and every citizen of the world must make a conscious and sustained effort if we are to succeed ill protecting this earth which we all sare.” At the Federal level, we have m.ade a strong and irreversible com mitment to this cause, setting up new agencies within the govern ment, greatly increasing our finan cial support, and asking for a very large package of new laws, as set forth most recently in my message to Congress of February 8, 1972. I am most anxious that we now se cure passage of these 24 pieces of legislation, for we must have the Replacing Mrs. Mary Lucy Bivins, Mrs. Doris McMillan Eller has been ppointed Director of Alumni Affairs for Salem College, as Mr. and Mrs. ivins are planning for family additions in June. Mrs. Eller graduated ■om Salem in 1954 with a degree in home economics and has been active 1 Salem’s administrative affairs since that time. During 1969-70, Mrs. dler served as president of the Salem College Alumnae Association and 5 president of the Winston-Salem Alumnae Club in 1964-65. She pre- 5ntly represents the alumnae on the Board of Trustees and is a member f the Campaign Committee of the Third Century Fund. Vocational Office Nudges Eager Job Opportunists by Nancy Schrum In an effort to further year round full use of the Salem Fine .Arts Center, i^r. Chandler has appointed Mr. James L. Bray to the new position of lirector of the Salem Fine Arts Center. Mr. Bray will be responsible for 11 educational and cultural activities of the FAC. He hopes “to enlarge I'e scope of the programs offered” and has suggested such activities as icperimental films of special interest; lecture-demonstrations by artists, la}Twrights, actors, novelists, poets, and musicians; cross-discipline under- ikings in art, drama, and music, and art and other exhibits of general iterest. Mr. Bray will remain on the faculty and teach at least one course. Possibly an unfamiliar, but by no means new, face in the Salem com- lunity is that of Mr. James A. Gray, acting Vice President of Salem Col- ge and Academy. Mr. Gray took this position September 1, 1971 after irving as Executive Director of the Mobile Historic Development Com- [ission. Prior to that job, Mr. Gray, who is a native of Winston-Salem ad has lived here most of his life, was President of Old Salem, Inc. Mr. ray’s administrative duties as Vice President include development—vari es aspects of fund raising, supervision of alumni affairs for the college ad the academy, and public relations. Our new vice president has de- oted much of his time recently to the Third Century Fund Drive. Mr. Jack M. White, after thirteen years as Assistant to the Pr''sident ad Business Manager, will not return to Salem next fall. As of July 1, ?72. Mr. White will begin his duties as President of Oak Ridge Academy fter his election by the Board of Trustees of The Oak Ride Foundation. As I walked into the Vocational Office, now occupying a fairly large room on first floor Lehman, I was confronted by an array of bright posters. These have such ap- pea.ing slogans as, “Find Yourself in Europe,” “Red, White and Blue Needs You,” and others, encourag ing one to send in her small white card of personal information. But what is the true picture of the future job opportunities for young Salem graduates ? What are previous graduates doing? To an swer these questions I sought the help of Mrs. Harriet Garrett, the present Vocational Counselor at Salem. First she informed me that there was not much feedback from often found in camps, resort areas, home-town companies and in tempo rary positions with state and local governments. Because of the gen eral trend toward financial inde pendence, there are fewer girls widing to settle for a volunteer job which would occupy all their time. Donna Daisley has been an as sistant in the Vocational Office for three years and affirms that girls now use the facility more since it is an easily-reached location. She stressed that if any girls would like to read up on job opportunities or simply find out more about careers for women, the Vocational Office is a good place to start. Mrs. Gar rett can give helpful advice about job possibilities, resumes, and inter views plus assurance that others are in the same “unemployment boat.” proper tools if we are to succeed in this task. As you are aware, there is also a special need to enlist our young people in this effort. Their involve ment will not only serve to renew our environment but should also be an important step in developing an informed and concerned citizenry. Last October I established the En vironmental Merit Awards Program so that secondary school children could fulfill their deeply felt com mitments ; already, more than 2,500 high schools representing all 50 states have registered in this pro gram. I hope each of you will impress upon the other citizens of your State how important it is that they seek a better understanding of en vironmental needs and opportunities on a continuing basis. Certainly we will achieve the quality of life that we want only if we make each and every day a part of Earth Week. Besides the changes in Salem’s administrative staff. Dr. Chandler men- oned the speakers for the Mav 21 commencement exercises. Dr. Mary 'aith Carson, chairman of the Department of Religion of Moravian Col- !g'e, Bethlehrm, Pennsylvania, will speak at the 11 am. Baccalaureate srvice Sunday, May 21 in the Home Moravian Church. William W. cranton. former Pennsylvania governor, will deliver the commencement ddress Sunday at 2:30 in the May Dell. Dr. Carson graduated from Salem in 1951 and received her MA from the resbyterian School of Christian Education, BD from Union Theological eminarv, and Ph D from Princeton Theological Seminary. Scranton re- iived his BA and LL.B from Yale University and was a member of Con- ress from 1961-1963 and governor of Pennsylvania from 1963-1967. He presently a member of the Ceneral Advisory Committee on Arms Con- ol and Disarmament and of President Nixon’s Price Commission. we arrived at Salem around mid night Thursday. Next weekend we will hit the trail again in our blue jeans and torn up tennis shoes when we trail Pisgah National Forest. This time we shall be hiking up and down, in and out, and through every mountain in western North Caro lina. This time we will cry “Camp Rockbrook and Bust!” here are many exciting things that we can do now to make SC a worthwhile campus spot. We can save money and ad- istrative red tape by donating old records, radios and record rers to the committee. We can put up bulletin boards and Mr. Yarbrough to install more cozy lighting at the tables, can create a library system of games, records and equipment, ch we would check out for certain time periods. If we do , we need workers on duty in the SC during certain hours, ch will increase the means by which students do scholarship k on campus. And this full time presence of student workers lid prevent future thefts. he Salemite staff wishes to add incentive to this campaign for roved SC facilities. We are working with the SC Committee already have donated several records, games and a clock io. The issue hovering above all Salem now is not, to para- 3se J. F. Kennedy, what our Student Center can do for us, but it we can do for our Student Centerl graduates who have been successful in finding work. Most have known people who could help them find a job or they have settled for some thing in the area in which they wished to live. She reaffirrped what most of us have heard for years. Now as in the past, girls grad uating with teaching certificates have less trouble finding a job than any other graduates. This year’s seniors have found jobs working with the Sociology Department at Chapel Hill, the government of South Carolina and with Legislators in Washington, D. C. Several girls are looking for jobs in Winston-Salem and some are looking for jobs to support two people since approximately three- fourths of the engaged seniors will marry impoverished graduate stu dents. The Class of 1972 has some real “intelligencia.’ Three have been ac cepted by law schools, one by Pea body Institute of Music, and one by Bowman Gray in Medical Tech nology. Many have applied to grad uate schools, moreover. Nowadays, it appears, higher education offers a more secure future than a career 01 looking for an appropriate job. Dianne Daily, VP of Salem’s SGA in 1970-71, has acquired a job in Switzerland. She is feeding pigs and helping out with other farm duties in addition to taking care of two French-speaking children. This job will last for one year, and then Dianne plans to move to some other occupation, which she has not yet found. According to Mrs. Garrett, open ings for summer jobs are most Official Encourages Women 4 The only woman vice-president of Wachovia Bank and Trust Com pany, Mrs. Jean Harrison, spoke at Salem College Tuesday, April 25, at the career casing luncheon to familiarize girls with opportunities for fulfilling careers in banking. Mrs. Harrison, who first became a bank officer in 1965 when the trend toward recognition of women in banking started, stressed that a great variety of careers exists in banking for women with diverse educations—in the trust department, accounting, advertising, communi cations, data processing, etc. Today, out of 750 officers for Wachovia, 110 are women, and Mrs. Harrison sees continued change in this direction. She lists her four keys to success in any field (taken from the word CLUE) as.‘ COUR AGE to know your own convictions and stick to them; LOYALTY to your employer, and if this is not possible, change jobs; UNDER STANDING of yourself and your personal needs; set realistic goals for about five years, then project these goals to the next five years; and ENTHUSIASM, which comes naturally to most persons when they are young, but which you must keep all during your life.
