Salem Student Center
What lurks at Lifespan?
r
Think Fast
. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the opening of the student center. In
the past, the student center has been used for meetings or dorm
parties, but this year S.A.C. encourages all of us to visit the center
often and let the room become a popular place for all students o
gather. .
! As we all know, beer will be sold on certain days this year at the
center. Beer will be sold only on Wednesday and Thursdays rom
9:00 p.m. -11:45 p.m. and on Friday and Saturdays from 6:00 p.m. -
12:45 a.m. Because of the beer license, certain regulations will have
to be followed and S.A.C. will work closely with the director of the
Food Service to see that these rules are enforced. They are as
fpAlpws: ^ „ _
1. The Student Center is for members of the Salem College Com
munity and their guests. . u •
2. Students share the responsibility for the behavior of their
3. North Carolina laws will be enforced. A student ID card may be
required. ■' • iu
4. Beer may not be taken from the Student Center. During t e
hours when beer is sold, no one may bring any type o a co o ic
beverage into the Center.
5. Beer will only be sold in the stipulated hours.
6. The management wiU not sell beer to anyone who has had too
much to drink. , . ^
7. Violations will be turned in to the appropriate student
disciplinary organization for action.
The student center is for us. If we do not use the chance, enjoy me
faciUty, take advantage of the opportunity, we will lose the center
and have no social room to call our own.
Over the past year my
curiosity has been
growing over the func
tion of the Lifespan
Center. Posters are
placed around campus
on activities offered
there, and even though I
am interested in the
programs, I have
always been afraid to
venture to Lehman Hall
to find out what it is all
about. What is Salem’s
phobia about the
Lifespan Center?
Maybe the second floor
of Lehman Hall is
haunted, or weirdos are
known to gather there.
Whatever the reasons, I
decided to be brave, risk
my life, and discover
what goes on at the
Lifespan Center.
Now pay attention and
learn what I discovered.
The Lifespan Center is
not haunted, there are
no weirdos. In fact,
there are two young.
A Salem Welcome for 3 New Profs
Next week the
Salemite will interview
the remaining additions
to our Salem Com
munity.
Have you met Mr.
Sung Ha, a new edition
to our economics
department? Well, if
you haven’t please
make an effort to
Welcome him because
Mr. Ha promises to be a
Very interesting and
experienced member of
Our already excellent
faculty.
Mr. Ha received his
Masters degree in
Economics from
Indiana University, and
he has only been in the
United States for five
years. He chose to come
to Salem because our
school is small, we have
small classes, and
teachers can get
feedback and comments
from their students. So
far, Mr. Ha has been
very impressed with the
students here at Salem.
He says that they are
smart, quick, and very
capable. We are im
pressed with you, too,
Mr. Ha - Welcome!
Dr. Jeff Ersoff is a
new edition to our
Psychology department
this year. He received
his Bachelor’s Degree
from Cornell University
his Master’s Degree
from Florida Atlantic
University, and his PhD
from the University of
Texas. Dr. Ersoff and
his wife are expecting
their first child next
month and they are very
pleased to be in Win
>
attractive ladies who 1
found very interesting
to talk with. Judy
Aanstad and Dianne
Borders conduct the
Lifespan Center and
have creative ways of
helping Salem students.
They offer courses in
study skills and in
vocational skills.
They also offer career
planning tests which
could ease the mind of
any student, wanting
some direction for her
career. Furthermore, if
you ever need any kind
of personal counseling,
both women are trained
to handle even the most
complicated of student
problems.
Most students know of
Judy Aanstad because
she has been at Salem
for some time, but
Dianne Borders is a
newcomer. Ms. Borders
graduated from Wake
Forest in May with a
masters in education
and counseling. She has
previous experience and
would like to con
centrate on study skills,
personal and career
counseling.
The Lifespan Center
is holding study skill
sessions on September
18th and 25th, 4; 15-5;30
p.m. in Lehman Hall for
freshmen, but up
perclassmen are
welcome. Salem
students need to realize
the opportunity
awaiting them. These
trained professionals
are there to share their
knowledge from a
different angle than the
classroom experience.
The Lifespan Center is a
service for the students.

do for you. Explore the

Hall.

January term seems
like a long time away
but for some students,
now may be the time to
start getting programs
in gear. Some kind of
decision must be made
by pre-registration on
October 2-4, but if you
change your mind, final
registration is not until
November 5-8.
The choices for
January term are in
numerable this year.
The three basic choices
ston-Salem, because
they feel that it’s a good
place to bring up
children. They also
enjoy the great climate
and atmosphere of this
part of the country.
Dr. Ersoff has been
most impressed with the
friendliness of students
and faculty here at
Salem. Take the time to
go by and meet him, and
you wilt find that he is
very congenial.

Mr. Sung Ha
Dr. Jeff Ersoff
“Absalom, Absalom
my son, would god I had
died for thee, Oh
Absalom my son.” This
quotation best describes
Dr. Alexanaer Ridoit
philosophy of life. Dr.
Riddle attended Car
negie Institute of
Technology for his
undergraduate studies
and then University of
Pittsburgh for his
graduate work. Before
he came lo Salem, he
taught at Robert Morris
College in Pittsburgh.
Dr. Riddle likes Salem
•>» Pam SnydT
\ery much.
Dr. Riddle teaches
microeconomics, public
..luuce, and business
and society. He says
that the fields of
management and
business are expanding
rapidly and he feels this
is an exciting time for
economics-manage-
ment graduates. The
way he sees the
situation is that there is
no end in sight to the
career opportunities for
worn on
Nancy Coudriet
are an on campus
course, an internship, or
an independent study.
In addition to these
choices, a student may
attend another 4-1-4
institution, participate
in travel programs, or
intensify their studies
with a pre-professional
experience. The
programs are designed
to accomodate fresh
men as well as seniors
and to give all students
a chance to probe
further into any subject
with which they choose
to experiment.
Travel opportunities
this year are trips to
London, Switzerland,
Greece, and various
places along the
Eastern Seaboard. The
fees are predetermined
and differ according to
transportation and hotel
accomodations.
Courses and in
ternships are offered in
art, biology, chemistry,
classics, education,
English, home
economics, history,
mathematics, modern
languages, music,
physical education,
psychology, religion-
philosophy, and
sociology-economics. ^
All of these areas except
for biology, education,
physical education, and
psychology also offer
independent studies.
The diversified op
portunities are obvious
and all students are
encouraged to study the
possibilities carefully.
January term is a
fantastic time to gain
outside experience.
Choose a January
program that will teach
you something that you
could not have learned
in a regular classroom
atmosphere and use the
month to learn about
yourself.
