^New Year^ For Newspaper Begins:
Progress Requires Student Input
Being chosen as editor of the Salemite for the coming
year is as much of a challenge for me as it is an honor.
After having taken the journalism class at Salem,
which sparked my interest in news writing and
production, I joined the Salemite staff. This journalism
course prompted me to take more courses at Wake
Forest and to apply for summer internships with
several newspapers.
Beth renters is working closely with me, helping me
° policies and production procedures involved
with the Salemite. With the help of you, Salem students
and faculty, I hope to continue the success which the
Salemite has achieved this past year.
Many members of the existing staff will be graduating
or transferring at the end of the semester, which will
leave only a skeleton crew with the responsibilities of
writing, editing and producing the news each week. The
survivors include Laura Castellanos as associate editor
Susan Miller as copy editor, and Pam Snyder as layout
editor. Without student input, the Salemite cannot exist.
If you are interested in any position on staff (e.g.,
reporting, photography, artwork, copy reading, column
writing), please let me know.
I realize that it is impossible for everyone to make a
total committment to the Salemite, but if you can
contribute one hour of your time each week, the paper
will improve.
I am looking forward to a good year and a good paper.
Please let me know of any ideas, gripes, suggestions you
may have.
Remember, no news is bad news, so get involved and
let’s make the. Salemite a truly vital part of campus
communications. Amanda Vannoy
heads are better than one.” Your
input makes for an efficient
Student Government. The more
we know what you want, the
better we can serve you. I look
forward to an exciting new year.
Martha Walker, Honor CouncO
Secretary
I’m very happy that the Salem
student b^y has allowed me the
opportunity to serve it as
Secretary of Honor Council. I feel
that my past two years on Honor
Council have given me valuable
experience and knowledge
concerning Salem’s honor
system.
Because the honor system is
such an important factor of life
here at Salem, I want to be sure
that the present honor system is
the most effective system
possible. Perhaps we need tof
reexamine our Code to be certairf
that ours is the most workablej
effective and profitable system)
PAULA MEYERS
Paula Myers, Honor Council
Chairman
Honor, although difficult to
define, is an essential
characteristic of a responsible
community. At the present, I feel
comfortable with the Honor Code.
I don’t foresee any attempts to
change the Code in itself, but
would like to see a united
commitment and effort to
strengthen and to enforce the
Code.
As Honor Council Chairman, I
am looking forward to serving on
Executive Board. Because of
past involvement in Student
Government, I feel I will be able
to contribute new outlooks; yet,
at the same time, I think I can
support and work within Salem’s
traditions.

MARTHA WALKER
As Secretary, I would like to
gather student opinions,
criticisms, and suggestions to see
where our system stands. It is my
desire to serve you’ well and to
uphold Salem’s honor system.
AMYDeCOURT
Amy DeCourt, Senior
Representative to Honor Council
I feel the office of Senior
Representative to Honor Council
is one of major importance to
Salem. The Honor Code is the
basis of the way of life here, both
academically and socially. I feel
that a violation of the Code is a
serious offense and should result
in the loss of certain privileges.
The style of life would change and
Salem would no longer be a
unique school if we were not
proud of her Honor Code.
I have very strong feelings
about our Honor Code and want to
see it upheld, not only on campus,
but in society as weU. I do feel,
however, that students need to
reevaluate their attitudes toward
the Honor Code.
Giselle Thompson, Junior
Representative to Honor Council
I feel that the office of Junior
Representative to Honor Council
is one of the most vital offices at
Salem. I strongly support our
Honor Code and want to
contribute to the maintenance of
its standards.
I believe that the Honor Code is
the basis for an atmosphere of
trust and understanding on
campus. I would like to see the
honor system at Salem
strengthened, but I would also
like to avoid the pettiness to
which such a system can
descend. All individuals must be
aware of the seriousness of our
Honor Code, because any
violation can weaken this system.
GISELLE THOMPSON
Moyer Falrey, Sophomore
Representative to Honor Council
One of the first things that
impressed me about Salem was
its successful honor system. Now,
as a freshman, I feel privileged to
serve on the Honor Council.
The Honor Code is a Salem
tradition in which I strongly
believe. It gives students much
responsibility, but it also allows
many freedoms. It’s great to
know that we can trust one
another! In order to keep these
freedoms and to maintain the
high quality of life we have on
campus, I feel that Honor Council
must strictly enforce the Honor
Code, but continue to be fair to
each student. ,
I look forward to being a part o
the Honor Council and hope tha
it will continue to be as successW
next year as it has been in the
previous ypnrs,
