Editorial
Editor’s Note:
The editorial space for this week has been
conceded to S.G.A. for their initial report to
the Student Body. Another executive editorial
is scheduled for next week.
S.G.A. Report
Yes! Student Government is ALIVE and
WELL! And yes, we do many more things
than just have S.G.A. meetings every second
Tuesday of every month. Unfortunately
though, the student body is more often than
not unaware of just what S.G.A. or Exec.
Board does. Traditionally there seems to have
been a lack of communication between S.G.A.
and its constituents. We, the S.G.A. Executive
Board, are determined to remedy this lack of
communication by reporting directly to the
student body -- be it through Leg. Board
representatives, S.G.A monthly meetings, or
the column which we will run every other
week in The Salemite. Student Government
can only be a vital part of Salem if there is
communication, openness, and exchange
between the students and their elected
representatives. In order to facilitate this
open exchange I shall be reporting on the
inter-workings of both Exec. Board and Leg.
Board as well as any additional work S.G.A is
doing.
5.1.D.’s - S.G.A. pays for this and it seems
some film was ruined - thus we have to pay
double. This needs to be investigated.
6. Regular weekly meeting time for Exec.
Board was set for Monday at 6; 30.
Leg. Board: Sept 3rd
The order of business followed as such:
1. Representatives were reminded of their
duties and attendance policy, i.e. two missed
meetings and you’re OUT! (Why have a Leg.
Board if students aren’t represented?)
2. Dr. Todd Fay was elected as the students’
representative to the Faculty Advisory Board
replacing Dr. Villarino.
3. We discussed the need for another day
students representative to Leg. Board other
than the Day Student President. Propor
tionally compared to boarding students, day
students are under-represented. A formal
petition will be drawn up and later presented
to Leg. Board.
4. Scheduling Procedure - Remember to get
all events approved by the Chief Marshall
Cindy Arant.
5. The Student Center - How important is it
to campus life? Should the investment be
made to revitalize it? These were questions
raised and hashed out. Most of the other
discussion was relayed to the student body by
Julia Owens at the Sept. 11 S.G.A. meeting.
6. The efficiency of Leg. Board - It is my
opinion that Leg. Board should NOT be a YES
Board but rather a viable, active, sounding
body where students’ complaints, problems,
and projects are explored.
7. A called Leg. Board meeting will be
necessary to approve the Fall Fest schedule.
That meeting will be Monday, Sept. 17 at 5:00
in the Back Door.

1. Parking (That annual problem)
a. Where do our $25 parking fees go?
b. How do we alleviate the parking
problems?
2. The Faculty (once again) approved
having a student representative at Faculty
meetings.
3. Budget Problems - We have to tighten our
belts; with less students enrolled, S.G.A. has
less money. We will have to cut down on items
charged to S.G.A. at the Book Store and
itemize each purchase.
4. Freshman selection for Student-Faculty
committees will be held after Fall Fest.

COMMITTEES
1979-80
Eaec. Board: Sept. 10
1. Dr. Morrill’s installation will be held
October 15th and 16th. This will be a gala
affair with many distinguished guests and a
time for total college participation.
2. Agenda for the S.(j.A. meeting Sept. 11th
was reviewed (of course, you all were there so
you know what that’s all about)
3. Honor Council - Ellen Newton reported on
the outbreak of stealing in the large dorms.
Unfortunately, the police shall have to be
consulted.
4. Finances " Where is your money going? It
is intended that S.G.A. will report later on
where your tuition money goes, where parking
money goes and where accumulated S.G.A.
money goes. Treasurer Jennie Smith is in
charge of this project.
5. An S.G.A. office - We NEED an office
other than in the PIT below the Student Center
which is inaccessible and depressing.
Possibilities may include the offices to be soon
unoccupied by Admissions or the Hanes house.
6. The S.G.A. President’s role on the Board
of Trustees - How influential are other
student government leaders and how much
power do they have on their respective Board
of Trustees? This is a goal Diana had outlined
in her election speech and which Exec. Board
shall undertake.
A Meeting with Dr. Morrill: Sept. 11
Exec. Board was invited to an informal
meeting with Dr. Morrill to discuss his goals
and priorities for Salem and the goals and
concerns of the students. We touched almost
every aspect of the college from the budget to
admissions, to atmosphere and student-
faculty committees, to night classes and honor
council. It wa^ refreshing to hear Dr. Morrill’s
concern, encouragement, and enthusiasm
toward students. Moreover, it was a sign of a
new OPENNESS between students, faculty,
and administration - a good sign indeed.

Dear Editor
ACADEMIC COUNQL
I was pleased to get the chance to read a

pleasure I felt. Congratulations to you and

formative first issue!
Laura, having graduated from Salem in
1978,1 am now working for the Comprehensive
Epilepsy Program at Bowman Gray School of
Medicine, and I would like to request your
assistance in publicizing a pilot project of
ours. This is the Epilepsy Information Ser

of your including this information in a Sep'

Salem staff and students. If further in'

Dear Editor:
li
We have been informed that the entir^jr,
school is operating under a tight budget
Students have repeatedly been told to ci>t|
corners whenever possible. It seem*
paradoxical that while students are scrimping
pennies the administration is squandering
dollars. A case in point is the recent
publication of the January term booklet.
feel that this was an extravagant expenditure'
We realize that correspondence outside
the Salem community necessitates an at' k
tractive booklet, but for those within th®
college community such a polished product i*,,
unnecessary. The January open house, th®)[]
pamphlets that have circulated, and the list o* '|is
‘Si
subjects published last spring should ^
sufficient. Redundancy is rampant both withiff?'
the booklet and among the campus depart'
ments. 'll
We agree that the booklet is attractive, bnt
the money spent could have been invested t
something of enduring value! For exampl®' jji
the college needs gym equipment, book*' Jt
increased security, scholarships, and campa^
maintenance. This is indeed a letter of at' ij,
monishment if not of condemnation. We hop^ t
all concerned will see Salem as an integrate^ 'n
community rather than a sundry collection
isolated factions.
