js Scheduled to be held out-
iors but due to the inclement
;ather the dedication was
oved to the reference room of
e library. The library was debi
ted'to a former president, Dale
Gramley, for his continued
pport and interest in the li-
ary’s advancement. This ad-
incement is seen in the expan-
m -and renovation the library
IS undergone since it was moved

as moved from its original foun-
ition on the corner of Church
reet to its present site 96 feet

What were your reasons for en
tering the pageant?
Several of my friends have
worked with pageants before and
they convinced me that embar
rassment was the worst thing
that could happen. They pointed
out that there were many ad
vantages; meeting new girls, per
haps gaining some needed poise
or confidence, and there was al
ways the small chance that I
could gain some scholarship
money. Since I had just learned
that our tuition was going up,
that chance of a scholarship was
a big factor in my deciding to try
something so entirely new.
How do you feel about “beauty
pageants”?
First of all, there is a pageant
for everything in the world now.
This pageant, along with the
other Jaycee-sponsored pageants,
are based not entirely on ap
pearance, but personality, talent,
poise, etc. Today I think society
examines more aspects of a per
son other than his appearance. I
would be both flattering my ap
pearance and insulting my in
telligence if I thought I won a
pageant on my “beauty”.
What are your preparations for
the Miss N. C. Pageant in Char
lotte, June 8-16?
Other girls I know who will
be contestants are spending every
waking moment preparing. I have
no desire to let this become my
prime importance in my life.
Other than getting my Bacharach
together and planning to have a
great time. I’m making few pre
parations. While I want to do my
best in the competitions, I have
learned that the more prepara
tions one makes, the bigger the
disappointment should those prep
arations not pay off.
How did winning feel?
Well, it was nothing short of
a total shock! I felt like I had
enjoyed the night too much to
win anything. All those girls from
school sitting right at the end of
the run-way made it a lot of
fun just to go out on the stage.
And then when I came back to
Babcock they were all waiting
with a banner and champagne.
It was just too much! I realized
that I am one of the most blessed
girls alive.
Dr. Clauss to Teach Course
on U. S. Constitutional History
by Betsy Sberrill
Good news for history majors
and aware students! A new
course entitled “U. S. Constitu
tional History”, taught by Dr.
Errol Claus will be offered this
fall. It is definitely a must for
students concerned and interested
in national affairs past and pres
ent. The course will delve into
matters of vital concern to our
daily lives as nothing is more
basic or pertinent than the Con
stitution.
First semester the course will
come up to 1870, studying the his
tory of the development of the
Constitution from English and Co
lonial times. Highlights will in
clude the 1787 Constitutional Con
vention and the actual writing,
the Federalist Papers, Judicial
Review, the John Marshall Court,
problems of slavery, the Civil
War, and Reconstruction. Second
semester will pick up from 1870
to the present, emphasizing the
Supreme Court, social welfare
legislation, political dissent, the
Constitution in times of crises,
the Warren Court, and individual
rights. Prerequisites to this new
course are U. S. History 105 and
106. So if you haven’t had these
basic courses, sign up quick and
be ready for more exciting
courses ahead!
This summer Dr. Claus will be
doing a great deal of preparation
for “U. S. Constitutional History
under a research grant. The new
course is a vital and necessary
course for Salem to offer. For the
history major it ties together al
aspects of American history as
the skeleton of our history is the
Constitution. The average student
will gain much “U. S. Constitu
tional History” for in the last
twenty years our daily lives have
been shaped more by the su
preme Court than any other time.
Last, but not least, “U. S. Con
stitutional History” is important
to Salem because in the past few

Learning Disabilities Center to Appear
In a National Television Doenmentary
years there has been a dramatic
increase in Salem students inter
ested in law school. This course
is the closest introduction to law
school that is offered and will
be very beneficial to the student
learning in that direction. So for
the aware student, the history
major, and the future law wo
man, “U. S. Constitutional His
tory” has great value.
In addition to this new course
for fall, Dr. Claus is offering a
brand new January program this
year. It is the “Theory of Im
peachment” and concerns toe
constitutional issues the English
sources of impeachment, and the
American practice.
Good news from these new
courses is certainly welcome and
definitely will be beneficial in
helping to create a more aware
student body.

The Salem College Learning
Disabilities Center, under the di
rection of Dr. Lucia Karnes, has
been selected to appear in a new
documentary, ‘Thursday’s Child,’
due to its unique approach in
dealing with learning disabilities.
Mr. Michael Davis, director, and
William De Pertius, producer, are
the two men who became initially
interested in Salem’s program.
Mr. David first became acquaint
ed with this program through his
wife. She received her M.A. in
learning disabilities and is fa
miliar with the better programs
aroundi the country. Mr. Davis
has decided to do this documen
tary with private organizations
of Pennsylvania, in order to ac
quaint people with the problem
of learning disabilities itself. The
reason the Salem College center
(which is called the Orton Read
ing Center) has been selected, is
due to these main characteristics
that are unique to Learning Dis
abilities Centers: the presence of
a diagnostic clinic, a tutorial
school, and the opportunity for
perspective learning disabilities
teachers to begin working with
children on a one to one basis as
early as their junior year. Mr.
Davis has the funding to pre
sent this hour-long documentary
on educational television this
spring. It ig also available for
purchase by the major networks
to be shown on national televi
sion.
Here on the Salem College cam
pus is a program of excellence
and of nation-wide acclaim. If
you haven’t taken the opportunity
to visit the Orton Reading Center
yet, please do. You’re always wel
come.
