Editorial
Complacently paying too much for things you know
are overpriced.
GUILTY
Abusing your charge by buying things you do not
really need.
GUILTY
Complaining about how the bookstore abuses
students and doing nothing about but complaining.
GUILTY
We are all guilty of these crimes. Directly or
indirectly each Salem student has helped the Salem
Bookstore rob her not only of money, but also in
tegrity. That we have supported their masquerade
as our college bookstore is as ludricous as saying
we helped thieves take our cherished possesions.
It is hard to believe that Salme students with all
of our rah-rah individualism, honor and values
have let ourselves knowingly be maligned by what
should be a part of Salem itself. “Salem
Bookstore’’-the name itself represents a lie. It is not
Salem, because we are too steeped in and proud of a
heritage of just and honest practices. Not by any
' stretch of the imagination can it be referred to as a
bookstore junk store, tourist trap, student trap:
these terms are more fitting. There is nothing
personal in my condemnation of the Bookstore, it is
purely a matter of good business. This is exactly
how they are dealing with us, not personally but
rather as profitable business ventures to be ex
ploited until we are exhausted.
The list of complaints against the bookstore is to
long to list here and too sickening to detail. Each of
us is aware of their disservice to our community.
We must stop complaining and commence to act for
our own benefits. It is not simply a matter of
money, what hurts most is that we are allowing
those things about Salem which we value most be
degraded.
The SGA Booksale was the first serious action
taken by concerned students. Its success demon
strates the ability of Salem students to effect im
provements. It was only an initial step forward. A
step which demands to be followed by a united
student effort to create a bookstore which is truly
ours. Clubs and organizations have cancelled their
charge accounts at the Bookstore. We must boycott
the Bookstore and together find alternatives to our
current situation. Talk to people, write letters,
make a difference in your lives and in the school
itself. Starting Monday the 18th do not buy anything
at the Bookstore until changes are made and we are
not stripped of money and pride.

Letters to the Editor
Book Store Fast Fare Food Town Family Mart
(C^n24Hrs.)
To the Editor,
Now is the time for ali good Salemites to
the aid of their daddy’s wallet. I am sick and tirw
of the exhorbitant outrageous prices at the Sale®
Bookstore. As a naive freshman I made purchases
there but now, as a slightly older, yet wiser
Salemite, I know better. For example, I recently
purchased a cardboard ring binder in Washingto®
D.C. bookstore for $.65 and the same in the Sale®
bookstore was $1.69.
My experiences with the bookstore have not bee#
pleasant and I am sure I have a few friends that ca®
relate to this.
Because my parents had not paid the balance on a
previous bili, I was not permitted to charge Wf
books this semester. That I can understand, h®
they also would not let me purchase anything wi®
cash or a check! This I feei is discrimination. I als®
feel that it is an invasion of my rights to make
sign a piece of paper when buying books. This ®
college, not a grade school and believe me, th8‘
bookstore knows who can and cannot charl*
merchandise. There are enough rules
regulations at this school and this nit-picky kind ®
thing has got to go. More power to the S.G.A. r
their fabulous book sale - boycott the bookstore »®®
save 50 percent at Eckerd’s or Crown Drugs.

Hi
Dear Salem Friends,
As spring semester
begins, Intef-Varsity
Christian fellowship
would like to clarify
once again that we are
not a club, but a group of
people who welcomes
everyone to participate
in the various activities
planned.These activities
are designed to help
those who are searching
in their faith and for
those committed to
grow. We look forward
to a spring of “waking
up” and discovery, and
hope that you will join
us.
First old news... A big
thanks to all who con
tributed (even in pen
nies) to the World Vision
(Collection before
Christmas. One hundred
and fifty dollars have
been sent to Cambodia.
Thank you, Salem!
And, also before
Christmas, we
discovered a new friend,
who is now our faculty
advisor. Libby Gib-
boney, our new P.E.
professor and tennis
coach, has added much
already and will con
tinue to be our “spring”

Now, for the new news
... Our large group
meetings will take on a
new dimension this
spring, one of variety,
so that each will find an
area of interest.
