New Sociology Prof Enjoys Salem Atmosphere - by Shirley Brobst Staff Reporter The number of new faces a' Salem continues to grow! The new faculty member in the so ciologs department is Mr. Jay Fleishman. .Mr. Fleishman, who is also doing his graduate work at L'NC-G. is teaching two courses here on campus - Social Inequality and Se.\ Rc^s. .After recehnng his undergrad uate degree in poUtical science and international studies at Carolina in 1%9. .Mr. Fleish man taught seventh grade for a year in an all black school at Henderson. N.C. Thus school was in a poverty stricken area, with the average annual family in come being S2.000. He then en tered graduate school at L'NC-G and centered his interest on so ciology. Hts major areas are so cial siraiitlcation and minority groups. Mr. Fleishman worked as a graduate assistant for two y ears and had quite an interesting as- sigimeni for one semester. He was sent out on the street to mangle in with the hippie groups in Greensboro and to find out a little about life frcm^ their point of view. He said that he found this assigrunent very- depressing and very difficuli and chat he wouldn't recommend it to anyone. '^'hen it comes to travel, mere s no place like E'jrone. ac cording to -Mr. Fleishman. He's been to Europe thaee times and fias seen most of Western Eure;^. -After his freshanan year at Caro lina. he I'iew to Europe on a chaner flight with no srvecial plans m mind - just travelins and wwkmg. He lived with a French family for five weeks, which was a most memorable e.xpen- ence. He found the family very- hospitable and he feh very- much at home with them. .An mu seums were a frequent visiting place and especially the ones that contain Impressionistic works, which are his favonres. It's quire obvious that E-urcne hasn't seen me last of Mr. Fjelshmiar.. be cause he has mdicaied a desire to go back whenever he has the .Mr. Fleishm.an's reactions to Salem, are no: urdike those o: facultv mem- are mc»st of the ctiie r-ers. He likes tine smaller beca_se he feels that he wtii r arle give a farer evaluauon . me students' work. Sc often a: ia'cer school, nrcfessors a forced to give true-false cr other such objective tests me.'ely to save time in grading the papers. .At a smaller school with small classes a student has a better op portunity- to show what she has really- learned. The course about social in equality- falls ri^;t into line with Mr. Fleishiman's experience and training, but he is equally enthu siastic about teaching the sex roles course, a subject with which he is less familiar. For the past three months he has scoured the shelves of libraries in order to prepare for the course and he is very- enthusiastic about the material he has uncovered. Mr. Fleishman is otiginally- from Lumberton. N.C. His father is a merchant there. His sister wiorks for a Congressman in Washingtcm and his y-ounger bro ther is a freshman at Carolina. We are lucky to have Mr. Fleishman here a: Salem for this semester. He is a welcome and very- likeable additicm to the sociology department and to Sa lem. Cc^eee. by Lana Starnes and Dr. Takey Crist .Almost every person in our society has been a victim of misinformation and superstitu- tion in all areas of human sex uality. There still exist many fallacies that can only breed un happiness unless the facts are disseminated. Here are but just a few. Alcohol is a sexual stimu lant. False. Alcohol acts as a de pressant on the neurological sy stem and can depress sexual functioning as much as it will Nut speech and motor coordi nation. .Alcohol affects men and women alike but the alcohol-in duced sexual failure in the man is more pronounced. Taken in large quantities, alcohol blocks the neutral pathways that gov ern erection, causing temporary impotence that cannot be over come, even with a very strong sexual desire. A woman under the influence is capable of intercourse but her chances of achieving an orgasm are greatly diminished because of the alcohol’s deadening effect of all nerv'e centers. -Alcohol taken in moderate amounts, however, may reduce fears and guilt feelings that w-ould otherwise interfere with sexual performance and sexual enjoyment. It can also dull sen sitivity a bit, so as to allow inter course to last longer. .A hallmark of complete sex ual compatibility is synchronized orgasm. False. The vaginal spasm of the female will frequently speed the male to orgasm, thus giving the impression that syn chronization has occured. It is enough that both partners are acheiving orgasm, and synchro nization is most likely a func tion of mutual practice. Marijuana is an aphrodisiac. False. If the definition of aphro disiac is considered to be a sub stance which when taken will regularly excite sexual desire, then marijuana is not one. However, marijuana is one of the many psychoactive drugs in which the set and setting are important. If a person is set for sexual excitement and if the set ting is conducive to sexual fan tasy, chances are likely that sex ual feelings will be heightened by marijuana. Marijuana causes distortion of sensations - sound, taste, vision. Sexual sensations can also be dis torted and heightened. Common ly, marijuana reduces inhibitions while anxiety and producing sense of well-being. Also many people report that under the in. fluence of marijuana there is j concentration on one set of sen sations - one of which can well be sexual. For further detaded treat- ment of sexual myths and fallj. cies read Sexual Myths and Fal lacies” by Dr. James Leslie McCary, professor of psycholo gy.

Choral Ensemble Deepens Commitments - by Debbie Clark First semester was a busy one for the choral ensemble. On No vember 30 we entertained the Kiwanis Club with a Christmas program. Before singing the girls enjoyed lunch with the men. Each table consisted of three or four girls who were busy con versing with the businessmen. The Archways and the Bell Ringers joined the fun. On Sunday, December 3 the choral ensemble went to Trinity Moravian Church. The Bell Ring ers again enhanced our Christmas program. If the congregation ap preciated our singing, we appre ciated the covered-dish supper! We soon learned Moravians are excellent cooks. For the Christmas season two more annual performances were on the schedule. The candlelight Christmas Assembly was on De cember 7. To see the entire audi ence with lighted candles in their hands is a special privilege. Ano ther special privilege is to parti cipate in Old Salem Christmas We each get fitted for a costume to use while we sing in the Bro thers House. The music is from original manuscript and has never been published. The se lections are only used at Christ mas in Old Salem. The Choral Ensemble is look ing forward to a busy second se mester also. Perhaps the mem bers will be treated to some more dinners as fringe benefits!
