Lifespan Provides
Jan. Workshop
By Anne Duncan
The Lifespan Center for Women
is offering an Assertiveness Train
ing Workshop during January.
There will be four sessions each
lasting two hours. The sessions
will be held on Tuesday after
noons from 3:00 to 5:00 with the
first one beginning January 7th.
The purpose of this workshop is
to help women express their
values, feelings, ideas, and opin
ions in a direct and honest man
ner. It is designed for many
different areas, which include
those people who want to be more
assertive, who worry about being
too aggressive, who have diffi
culty in saying no, who have
difficulty speaking up in class,
who worry about hurting others’
feelings, or who find difficulty in
expressing anger or warm feel
ings.
Three types of human behavior
are going to be discussed in the
four sessions. The first is asser
tive behavior, which is being able
to express oneself freely. The
second is imassertive behavior,
which includes letting people take
advantage of oneself. The third
type of behavior is aggressive.
Expressing ideas openly, taking
advantage of others, and violating
others’ rights fall under this type.
The first session is going to
deal primarily with the meaning
of assertive. The second session
will be role playing where stu
dents will be practicing asser
tiveness in everyday situations.
The third session will cover the
topic of anger and will show ways
of expressing it constructively.
The final session will deal with
communication. Through these
sessions, the Lifespan Center
hopes to help each individual
learn a style of communication
that is comfortable to oneself.
They want everyone to realize
that each person has a right to
one’s ox^ feelings, ideas, and
beliefs.
Anyone may sign up by calling
the Lifespan Center and indicat
ing to them your interest in the
workshop. Just call 723-7961, ex

Faculty Exhibit
Art Works in FAC
By Kathy Gideon
For the last few weeks Salem
students have had a great oppor
tunity to see art work by the
Salem College Art Faculty. The
works include ceramic pieces by
Mr Rick Flanery, silk screen
prints by Mr. Murder, oi
and acrylic paintings by Mr. Bill
Mangum and Mr. Ed Shewmake,
sculptures by Mr. Mangum and
etchings and aquatints by Mr.
Shewmake.
The styles and techniques vary,
but almost everyone is sure to
find something they like. Espe
cially universal in appeal would
be the rich ceramic work and
beautifully colored silk screen
prints. Anyone who has done any
work with either of these two
media will definitely appreciate
the patience and effort that pro
duced these pieces. The etchings
and printing are made to be ex
Freedom and Authority
By Claudia Lane
Freedom and Authority. This
is a relevant topic to the fresh
man in the new course entitled
Freshmen studies. With its be
ginnings 3 years ago, many fac
ulty have devoted a great deal of
time and energy to the course.
The course teachers include Dr.
Byers, Dr. Thomas, Mrs. Ed
wards and Dr. Kelly and they
offer a varied and interesting
presentation of the subject mat
ter. Although many of the fresh
men have complained that there
seems to be a large amount of
reading, they are all willing to
agree that it is a course which
gives them opportunity to speak
up on issues that are so relevant
in today’s society.
Mrs. Edwards reviewed the
content of the course as being
structured around the concepts
of Freedom and Authority with
an exploration of Freedom and
the first semester devoted to
Authority in the Political, Social,
Religious and Personal areas.
This pursuit has led the class
from the study of totalitarianism
in Nazi Germany and Communist
Russia, to an examination of the
social structure in the ante-bellum
South, to such widely divergent
readings as The Grand Inquisitor,
A Day in the Life of Ivan Den
isovich, One Flew Over the Cuck-
coo’s Nest, and Walden, and Civil
Disobedience, to the viewing of
films such as Zorba, Inherit the
Wind, and the Martin Luther King
documentary “Montgomery to
Memphis.” In addition, outside
speakers, Dr. Richard Cramer
and Dr. Gerhard Lenski, Depart
ment of Sociology, University of
North Carolina, Chapel Hill, have
addressed questions ranging
from institutional racism to the
abuse of power manifest in
Watergate. The four participating
professors lecture on the materi
als from their respective fields
of study and other faculty mem
bers have come in to add their
insights: such as, Dr. Nelson
on “The Authoritative Personal
ity”, and Mr. McLeod on Com
munes.
According to Mrs. Edwards
the' spring term will be even more
stimulating as students explore
the options open to them in the
search for balance between Free
dom and Authority in their own
lives in the areas of politics, re
ligion and philosophy, social
concerns, and the “self.” The
concommitant of these pursuits is
facility in relating abstract ideas
and developing a deliberative ap
proach to problem solving.
Debbie Knight, a student as
sistant to Dr. Byers, points out:
“Since it is such a new course,
being offered for the first time
this fall, many creative elements
have come into play. For in
stance, the 60 students have been
divided into 4 groups with a fac
ulty member and a student as
sistant leading the way. There is
also a time for feed-back and
discussion which might not be
offered in other courses. This
leads to a greater opportunity
for student-teacher communica
tions. Student assistants encour
age feed-back by talking and
meeting with the students on a
one-to-one basis, e.g., in the
dorms.
All in all, the course is not
only an excellent opportunity to
meet basic distribution require'-
ments in history, social studies,
and religion, but also it gives the
freshmen an excellent opportunity
to get personally involved in a
course and personally to acquaint
themselves with their professors.
Perhaps its only handicap in
volves upperclassmen — they’re
left out.
Candlelight
Services
Thursday marks the last day of
classes; it is also the day of
Salem’s traditional Christmas
candlelight service. Mrs Janice
Harsanyi will lead the Choral En
semble in opening the service at
1:15, singing an ancient carol,
“In Dulci Jubilo” in the foyer out
side Hanes auditorium. Then
everyone is invited to join in sing
ing the processional hymn, “0
Come All Ye Faithful.”
The main feature of the choral
program is Ralph Vaughan Wil
liams’ “Magnificat,” a contem
porary portrayal of Mary, when
she was chosen by God to be the
mother of the Messiah. The solo
ist for the Choral Ensemble is
senior voice major, Julie Heyer,
accompanied by Jill Gledhill, vio
lin, and Lou Carol Brown, piano.
The second feature will be five
Polish Christmas carols, with
Martha Garrett as soloist. Our
chaplain, Dr. Clark Thompson,
will begin the candlelight service
itself with some thoughts on
Christmas. While the candles are
being passed out, and the lights
dimmed, the Chorus will sing a
traditional Moravian carol,
“Dearest Lord Jesus”, with Juli-
anne Kirkman Jones as the
soloist.
The Choral Ensemble will per
form its Christmas concert at
Crystal Towers again this year
on Dec. 11 at 7:30. If you will be
in town on Friday, December 20,
you will be able to hear the entire
program broadcast on WFDD at
8:00 p.m.
The candlelight service is the
most memorable assembly of the
year. Those who have experi
enced it before know that it is an
unforgettable, moving experience.
So, in the rush before exams and
frantic Christmas shopping, stop
for a little while and share the
peace and fellowship that is the
heart of the Christmas spirit.
Come to the candlelight service!
Please note Salem students!
You don’t have to be stuck with
those plates, cups, glasses, and
silverware that belong to the re
fectory. You can return them to
Ted who will be glad to have
them back. He’s out of some
money because of our sticky
fingers. Let’s return all the stuff
so we won’t be using plastic uten
sils and eating off of paper plates.
perienced” as well as viewed, and
your thoughts can really be
stirred by several of them. With
the paintings, be prepared for lots
of color. There are rhythms and
currents in these paintings that
lend many of them a sense of
movement, tension and unrest
that you feel even if you aren t
used to thinking about paintings
that way. Several of Mr.
Mangum’s printings and Mr.
Shewmake’s aquatints have a
rather haunting quality.
There is much more that could
be said about all the paintings,
but a look is much more enjoy
able So, if you have not done so,
go on over and see if you can
catch a quick glance before the
exhibit comes down.
