Features page 3 Destination Known:Winston by Paige A. Parker Arriving at Salem College is almost like going back in time to a storybook-type setting. The buildings On campus are old and beautiful and the surrounding atmosphere of historic Old Salem is still centered around the late 1700's. One finds themself feeling at ease and among old friends; but as soon as one drives, tides , walks or runs out of the Old Salem area, there is a definite change in the environmental Surroundings. Winston-Salem is a t^hy that is academicaly, culturally and socially on the move. One can hnd most any one of their interest alive and ready for growth in the Winston-Salem area. Salem students are extremely lucky in that Wake Forest University is only seven stop lights or around seven minutes away (if one catches all the green lights!). Always assure parents that Wake has an excellent library (which is true) and it is a must for a broader and more nourishing education to visit the campus of WFU frequently during a college career. Salem students may take classes at Wake which earn credit toward their major. However, if the class is offered at Salem, sorry girls- then one must take the class at Salem. Davidson, Carolina and Hampden-Sydney are also important schools which offer social outlets for photo by Lesley Stokes the reduction of stress and all girl companionship. Davidson offers late night parties and plenty of fun, while Carolina has the same with many more guys to choose from. Since Hampden-Sydney boasts all males, overnight accommodations should definitely be made in advance! For a fine dining experience, Winston-Salem is full of restaurants with elegant and not-so-elegant atmospheres. Staley's Steak House, Ryan's, Michael's, New Market Grill, La Chaudiere, The Salem Tavern, Savvy's and Louisiana Purchase offer excellent food and semi-elegant to elegant surroundings. Students may photo by Lesley Stokes lean toward a slightly less expensive menu. The Village Tavern, TJ's Deli, The Soda Shop, Westend Cafe and Rainbow News and Cafe offer sandwiches and salads which are great to cat and don't hurt the purse much either. And one can never forget Darryl's which is within walking distance of Salem. Darryl's may be looked upon as "old reliable", but the food is usually quite appetizing. A Salem student truly must visit Reynolda House. This massive house holds memories and furnishings from the R.J. Reynold's legacy.

I am back with another ^tire "On the Lighter Side." '^hen the editors of this fine *'6wspaper asked me to write ^bother satire, we were beginning ® run out of things for me to write ^bout. Well, they then figured Something out that I could write ROOMMATES. You know hose people, most everyone has and probably has a lot of ^Periences to share with anyone, here goes! Enjoy! , Here is the scenario, you just graduated from high ^'^hool and over the summer you hhnd out who your roommate is. he day you decide to call her and by and get to know her. So, you 8*ve her a little ring a ding ding someone answers the phone ®hd you are sure you have dialed b® Wrong number. The voice at the hlher end of the line sounds like he ^hhld be a ^yie. voice over for Comer Trying not to laugh, you ^ h\ly ask for your roommate. He ^c^fns info the phone and shortly your soon to be roommate picks up. She says "HOWDY!" and you are about lo lose it, but once again you hold back the laughter. You l»th exchange idle chat and then you decide to get down to business and see what she is going to bring and what you are to bring. You ask your soon to be roommate if she wants to aringa refrigerator or if she would like for you to bring it. Your soon to ae roommate totally freaks out at the sound of electrical equipment, /ou quickly become amazed that ;hey do not have any electrical appliances. But you decide to try and make the best of it and continue the conversation and give her the benefit of the doubt. As the conversation goes on, you find out that your soon to be roonamate showers only twice a week (you gotta love that!), that she raises pigs as a part time job in the summer, she LOVES Metallica (which is not a bad characteristic, but you hate it) and she has a aoyfriend named Billy Joe. By the end of the conversation, you are just about ready to transfer already. But again, you give her the benefit of the doubt and decide to wait intil you see her to draw any conclusions. - First day of school comes. and you are moving some stuff in and here she comes down the hall. She reminded you of Pigpen from Charlie Brown at first sight, but again you give her the benefit of the doubt. While you are moving in, you meet your roommate's (by the way her name is Bobby Sue) mother who is probably the pushiest, loudest woman you have ever laid your eyes on, once again, idle chat! You get everything moved in and settled, and you finally take a gander at Bobby Sue's little corner of heaven and you notice tons of pictures of the same guy. So you decide to ask her about Billy Joe. After you asked her about him, you wished you hadn't because she talked about Billy Joe for at least 30 minutes. You find out that he raises cows for a living, no not just a part 'time job, but for a living! Well, once again you are about to lose it, but you don't . During this whole conversation you are looking at Bobby Sue's little corner of heaven to see what she has done. It doesn't look too bad you tell yourse^lf looking over the Pig Shaped rug on the floor, the Pizza Hut table cloth lookalike bedspread, and the life size photo of Billy Joe.. You two get along okay, but not great, so you try to make the best of it. Interclub comes around, and you are really psyched about going. You have branced out and met some new friends, but you still do a lot with Bobby Sue. Bobby Sue shows you her dress the day before the dance, and you are about to freak ^ut. It is a leather (what she calls eather) strapless dress with fringe all over it. You decide that this will be a night to remember. When you arrive at the dance, Bobby Sue suddenly falls in love wijh one of the maintenance men at the hotel and dumps Billy Joe on you and your date to entertain for the rest of the evening. You try and control yourself, and you do end up having 1 good time with Billy Joe. When you return to school, you really cut into Bobby Sue for doing this to you and then you stop and think that you may have to do that to Bobby Sue at a dance one day, so you lay off. The rest of the year is spent trying to get Bobby Sue to turn down her Metallica, keeping maintenace men from local hotels calling at all hours of the night , trying to convince Bobby Sue that more than two,.showers a week is okay and that roommates are pretty great!
