Indoor Pool Slated
for Main Basement
Last Monday, April 30, Dr.
Chandler announced to the
members of Leg Board that the
Board of Trustees has allocated
$250,000 for the construction
of a new swimming pool in the
basement of Main Hall. This pro
posal has been under considera
tion for several years, and was
finally approved at the meeting
of the Board of Trustees in
March.
A committee has been formed
to decide upon the final plans
for the pool. It is to be an Olym
pic sized pool which will be avail
able for year round use. Adjoin
ing the pool, there are to be
men’s and women’s locker
rooms. (It is not yet certain,
though, whether or not men will
be permitted to use the pool.
This all depends upon the out
come of the intervisitation issue.)
The Ladies’ Locker Room is to
have seventy-five sunlamps, so
that students can maintain their
tropical suntans even when there
is snow on Gramley sundeck.
The admissions Committee
was encouraged by the large in
crease in the number of Fresh
man applicants this year. They
are convinced that Janie Bark-
man’s Gold medal placed Salem
on the map. They are encoura
ging the Physical Education De
partment to offer a course in
Olympic Swimming, in order
that Salem can contribute at
least one swimmer in the 1976
Olympics, so that Salem can re
main a well known, highly
sought after school.
The pool should be com
pleted by September, 1973. It is
probable that the library con
struction will cease during the
summer, in order that the con
struction of the pool not be de
layed. Several students ques
tioned this decision, but were re
minded that their demands for
the completion of the library
took into consideration only aca
demic matters, while the pur
poses of the pool include con
cern for physical fitness, beauty,
and the prestige of Salem Col
lege.
Salem Gets New Dean
The office of the president
has announced that a new ad
ministrative office has been
created at Salem College. The
office of Dean of Student - Fa
culty Affairs will go into effect

act as a link between administra
tion, students and faculty. She
will work closely with Dean
Johnson and with Faculty-Ad
visory Board to ensure the
maintainance of a proper rela
tionship between students and
faculty members.
Dr. Chandler has announced
that Dr. Sarah M. Paramount
is the first Dean of Student-
Faculty Affairs. Dr. Paramount

and for the newly-created ad
ministrative department at Sa
lem. He said that the department
of Student-Faculty Affairs
should create a warmer air of un
derstanding between faculty and
administration.
“Faculty members must
remember the fine line that exists
between teacher and pupil. We
want our faculty to continue the
wonderful close relationship with
students in class, at the Lilly
Pond and in the Refectory” he
said. “But we need to encourage
them to maintain discreet extra
curricular activities. Dr. Para
mount will be marvelous at
aiding us in this line of action.
Dr. Paramount will begin her
official Salem duties August 1.
Nine Students Jailed
Not shown in pictures: Mar
garet Dorrier, Lucille Draper, &
Mary Denton Roberts.
Nine Salem students were
arrested Thursday, May 3 in the
Square on charges of public dis-
orderliness, drunkenness and
causing a riot without a permit.
Eight of the students were re
leased on $500 bond each; the
other student is being held until
the city can arrange bail with
her father.
A spokeswoman for the Sa
lem 9 released a statement say
ing that the students were enact
ing a social deviance experiment
for Prof. Robert Wendt at Salem.
They were staging a riot to test
the effectiveness of violence on
the college administration.
The spokeswoman said the
students drank eleven bottles of
Taylor’s red wine in order to
act their roles for the experi
ment.
The police arrived after two
of the students climbed to the
Moravian Church Bell tower and
threatened to kill themselves if
Bud Place, Salem College Busi
ness Manager, refused to increase
the refectory limch menu to
three meats and four salads daily
The police team gassed the
students out of the bell tower
and arraigned the other 7, who
were shooting Roman candles in
the Square.
The Salem Nine trial will be
at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, June
J. They will appear before Honor
Council next week.
Prof Wendt has announced
that he will not determine the
students’ grades until after the
June 1st trial. Place is nOt avail
able for comment concerning the
cafeteria increase asked for by
the students.
Profs To Sponsor Program
The Peek Travel Agency Ltd.
would greatly appreciate your
kind attention to the timely
correction of an error set in the
Entertainment Section of last
week’s edition. While it is known
to all that Professors Meehan
and Kampen will be conducting
a joint January session, the de
tails of the expedition were in
correctly stated in print. The
title should read as follows:
Quest and Jest: Persuit in the
Urban Landscape. In the event
that this title is not perfectly
clear to all readers, I will ex
pand upon all previous descrip
tions of this program. The two
leaders of the expedition as
named above will board an un
marked jet wherein they will
speed to an unmentioned air
terminal in the vicinity of San
Francisco.
Visitor Policy Revised
“It is the revised policy of
Salem College that male visitors
be permitted in. dormitory rooms
during all hours in which the
dorms are open. This is in accor
dance with standing rules and
procedures of dorm openings
and closings as determined by
the college administration.”
Dr. Chandler released this
statement Tuesday, May 8 as a
formal announcement of Salem
policy change concerning visita
tion. This policy is a revision ot
the procedure approved by the
Board of Trustees at their spring
meeting April 9 and announced
by Chandler in SGA assembly
April 14. .
This open dorm policy is the
direct result of the mass student
.disapproval expressed >n front o
Chandler’s office on Thursday,
April 19.
Chandler’s original policy an
nouncement included 6 campus
wide open weekends plus one
weekend per semester per house.
The original policy included spe
cified weekend hours on Friday
(8-12 p.m.); Saturday (2-5:30 &
8-12 p.m.); Sunday (2-5:30
p.m.).
After Chandler’s announce
ment on April 17, students
formed a coalition to express dis
gust for the visitation policy and
walked to his office on April 19.
There, some 300 students and
faculty members stood while a
student statement of disapproval
for the policy was read.
Chandler thanked the stu
dents and met April 30 - May 4
with a joint committee of stu
dents, faculty and administration
to revise the policy.
The new procedures of open-
dorm visitation will be instituted
in the fall term of 1973-74 and
will be subject to review at the
March, 1974 meeting of the
Board of Trustees.
Chandler emphasized that the
administration will follow a hard
line in enforcement of regula
tions concerning visitation in or
der to preserve collective securi
ty. Male visitors will be required
to sign into the dorms as guests
and girls’ doors can be closed
only if the visitors’ shoes are
left outside the doors.
The policy is a concrete exam
ple of the progress achieved
through the cooperative efforts
of student, faculty, administra
tion and trustees.
Dick Drost’s
(Rose Lawn, Indiana), wishes to
announce that it will pay travel
expenses (at .05^ per mile), on a
round trip basis, plus a full
week’s complimentary stay at
Naked City, for each and every
ANNOUNCEMENT
Naked City girl it accepts as a contestant
for either the:
(A) Miss Nude World Contest
(Sat. June 30th, 1973) and/or
(B) The Miss Nude America
Contest (Sat. August 4th,
(cont’d on p. 8)
All students in the program
will be required to remain in the
confines of the Greensboro air
port during the time of this
flight and for three hours after
its scheduled landing. Students
will be allowed to fly to San
Francisco only after this desig
nated period so the two leaders
will have sufficient time to hide
out and make temporary arrange
ments for underground transpor
tation. Of course, as we have said
so often, it will be the problem
of the students to locate Mee
han and Kampen by following
the cryptic clues and treacherous
paths leading to their haunts.
All members of the class have
until Jan. 15 to accomplish this
half of the program. On that day
the first class meeting will be
held in the park of St. Jude,
during which time mid-term
grades will be given to those
with no holding quest deficien
cies. Then, upon dismissal, the
class will go into hiding and it
will be the very difficult task of
the two leaders to rummage
through the urban landscape and
to locate their students. In the
event that Meehan and Kampen
are unable to find one or more
class members, those unlocated
persons should report to Aspen
Colorado. As an added special
attraction, students will be al
lowed to pursue their leaders in
New Orleans, Mexico City and
Paris. Honors will be given only
to persons not locating Meehan
and Kampen in cities other than
those listed above.
