page 6 Trained and Ready by Amy Brubaker The 1989 Hall Advisers, House Presidents,House Secretary/ Treasurers and RHD's began there preparation for the arrival of the Class of 1993 on Monday evening August 21. The training included sessions on Communications, Alcohol Awareness, and various scenarios that might occurr in a residence hall. Dr. Holderness conducted a special segment which included a brief test. Each session gave the participants a better self awareness. The most popular event that the trainees participated in was the Ropes Course at Guilford College. The students spent Thursday participating m different challenges such as the Trust Fall where a member of each house council fell from a post into the arms of their members. Each member was caught successfully thus creating a stronger trust among the House Council. The sessions were conducted by Dean Johnson, Debbie Cates, Ty Rice, and Sara Albritten. . , The training activities from Monday through friday were not the only preparations made for the Freshmen. House Presidents and Secretary /Treasurers busied themselves in what little free time they had by buying cups and other supplies for gifts and bulletin boards for each hall. They also made sure all the books were ready to record the dorms expenses, ^H keys and dorm dues. After the materials were purchased the Hall Advisers were busy making the bulletin boards, signs and decorating cups for their freshman. u When Saturday arrived the dorms were all prepared to check m the Freshmen and assist them with their many trunks, boxes and suitcases. The Hall Advisers kept up their fast and scheduled pace Saturday night beginning with dorm picnics for the Class of 1993. Sunday the di ferent halls participated in a variety of challenging games on the soccer field. The Peer Advisers took over for a whi’e by meeting with thier Freshmen advisees and accompaning them to a dessert party and student services ^ tL Freshmen are now settling in and the Advisers daily schedules are freeing up. However, the Freshmen and all other hall members should not hesitate to stop by and talk to them since they are still the Hall Advisers and are now properly trained to deal with any situation whether it is good or bad! News continued from page 3 from various painters, sculptors and other artists which come from an endowment from the N.C Museum of Modern Art. A student rate is also offered if one chooses to tour the home. The grounds surrounding this estate are also vast and gorgeous. On sunny days, students go to Reynolda Gardens for relaxing, studying, sur bathing, or for just chatting with friends in a beautiful environment. The Steven's Center which houses the North Carolina School of the Performing Arts is located downtown and is within walking distance of Salem's campus. Plays and ballets are performed frequently by the students of NCSA; while visiting companies and musicians also perform periodically at the Steven's Center. The Saw Tooth Center is anotner place for cultural enlightenment. This center offers classes in photography, painting, and almost any other art form one can think of. Salem offers a photography course which is taught at the Saw Tooth center. Lectures and parties are held at this center also. The city of Winston-Salem offers a fine public library with workers whe actually act like they don't mind helping a student locate a seventeenth century book by an author whose name is impossible to pronounce. Lecture series are held at Salem, WFU, and UNC-G which are very often beneficial and interesting at the same time! Salem is not too far from Duke or Carolina if one needs extra or more explicit material for research. And to conclude, one always leaves the best for last (or so they say!). Winston-Salem is THE home of fur times. Salem College holds mixers and functions which are talked about for a looooong time after. There are also several night spots which Salem students somehow find the time to visit. For those: students who are under the age of 21, there are actually places to go for fun, but don't be offended when the person working the door either brands one's hand with a large "X" or secures a bright red band around the wrist. The Sport's Club, Baity's (wear your leather), and Polo's can be quite fun with a group of friends. Baity's occasionally has bands whose names sound almost familiar. For all the legal people, Corbin's, Ziggy's Schrock's, Penelope's and the famous Tuesday and Thursday night bar- The Orchestra Pit seem to be fun places if the talk in the Refectory is actually true. So one can see that an photo by Lesley Stokes May, 1989 Salem Campus Revived by Heather Glasscock As we packed up our things for our return to Salem, one thought occurred to all of us: "I wonder what the campus looks like?" The "events" of May 5 left Salem in a shambles, most notably the square and Strong Dormitory. Under the watchful eye of Dr. Litzenburg, maintenance and grounds crews worked diligently to breathe new life back into the campus landscape. New little trees supported by ropes and stakes can be seen everywhere. Flowers and shrubbery now line the brick path leading to the Rondthaler-Gramley House. And while Strong Dorm (and its residents!) patiently await a new roof, the rest of the campus has emerged fresh and vibrant. As for the square on front campus, the restoration committee of Old Salem will attempt to recreate an Eighteenth Century sketch of the square drawn by an early Moravian resident Mr. Vogler. Large hardwood trees will be planted later this fall during their dormancy to ensure successful transplantation. Hopefully, the square will be completely restored by this spring. Thus, Salem seems ready for the 90’s with a whole "new look" on life! August, 1989 photo by Lesley Stakes^ abundant social life is possible in Winston-Salem, but we must remember that we are at Salem for a liberal arts education (Right?). Obviously, Salem College is located ideally within the quiet old world surroundings which lead to a .’peaceful place. where. academics, are. a priority. The city is busy and exciting, and anxiously awaiting the outpour of students from Salem. No matter the personality or the interests of the new and old Salem students, Winston-Salem has an immense amount of learning and exciting experiences ahead to all the enjoy!.So with no. further ado- enjoy, experience, and always remember...
