Language Wing - Tuesday,
November 28, a professor found
a bat hanging from the wall be
tween the first and second floor
on the stairwell. Several passers-
I by helped the professor capture
; the wayward bat and preserve it
intact for the biology depart-
[ ment at Salem. According to one
I passing student, the professor re
ceived assistance from another
[professor, who gamely caught
I the creature in a net.
Salem student Margaret Ever-
I hart was enroute to the third
floor when she came upon Mr.
Steiner, our esteemed German
professor, standing on the stairs
staring at the wall. As she at
tempted to pass, Mr. Steiner
commented, “There’s a bat on
the wall.” Rather than miss the
[excitement, Ms. Everhart chose
[to watch the procedure for deal-
I ing with the bat.
She was rewarded for her
[patience. Mr. Steiner then com
mented that he was standing on
[the stairs watching the bat be-
[cause he didn’t want said bat

to fly away because the biology
department wanted it, and Mr.
Jordan, professor of English, was
coming from the biology lab
with a net to catch the creature.
Choosing to watch Steiner watch
the bat for Mr. Jordan, Ms. Ever
hart thought she could transact
some school business. She pre
sented Steiner with a German
letter and asked him for assis
tance in grammatical corrections.
Mr. Steiner agreed on the con
dition that Ms. Everhart watch
the bat for him and, she agree
ing, he read her letter.
Shortly after this a maid at
tempted to pass the bat, but
upon being told of its presence,
she turned the other way. This
was not the case with the stu
dent who bravely made it past
the minute monster before being
repulsed. At this point Mr. Jor
dan returend from the biology
lab carrying a large net with
which to snare the bat. He dra
matically netted the tiny'animal,
but realized too late that he had
nothing with which to cover the
opening in the net. The bat
squealed shrilly, which attracted
the attention of another passing
student, Sara Carson, who hero
ically offered her assistance in
the matter. Mr. Jordan gladly
accepted her offer of assistance,
taking her proffered notebook
to cover the net. Mr. Jordan and
Sara then departed for - presum
ably - the science building to de
posit their treasure with the cow
ardly biology professors. His job
finished, Mr. Steiner proudly re
turned to his office on the sec
ond floor while Margaret Ever
hart returned to her student
duties of watching professors in
the classroom rather than on the
■ stairwells.

On the morning of November
28, 1972 Salem College and Aca
demy representatives got a lirst-
hand view of how the American
legal system works and were
somewhat disappointed. For ap
proximately two hours we
watched a variety of cases come
and go and listened to the legal
verbiage of the lawyers.
The two most fascinating as
pects of the events in the court
room were the informality and
the amount of perjury. As one
whose ixperience with court
rooms is limited to the austere
ness of Perry Mason and the
' purity of Owen Marshall’s wit
nesses, 1 was astounded by what
1 saw. There were no brilliant
cross-examinations, no on-the-
stand confessions, and no sur
prise witnesses. In tact it was all
rather dull after the novelty of
our surroundings wore off The
highliglit of the morning was
watching attorney and new State
House representative Ed Powell
walk in and out of the room
twice.
Our case was finally called
and we appeared before the
bench, so to speak. At least we
all took the oath, even if we
weren’t called on to testify.
However, Mr. Terrell gave a
forceful testimony which was
sufficient for the judge to sen
tence the young man. This was
the one caught on the Academy
grounds Thanksgiving morning
(appr. 1:30 a.m.) with an ami-
load of articles belonging to the
Academy girls. He also has been
found on the college campus and
in the dormitories. Our big dis-
■ appointment was that he was on
ly charged with loitering and
trespassing, rather than theft.
The sentence was tor thirty days
and was suspended for three
years on the condition that he
stay off of all Moravian-owned
property for those three years.
Hopefully, this will be enough
to persuade the young gentleman
to stay away from the campus
permanently. But it anyone runs
