‘Page 8 M.gu3t 28,1990 Salem Athletics: Get Involved contributed by Coach McEwen Over the past 4 years, we have con sistently had about 25% of the tradi tional student body involved in the athletic program here at Salem. Why? 1 think because our athletic program offers a variety of ways for students to get in shape and the capability for physical and mental challenges through constructive exercise. They also provide a great social outlet for the students, and many life-long friend ships have been formed among ath letes. Sports affords students the op portunity to relieve stress and tension from their academic loads. We have also found that, on the whole, most athletes do better academically during their season because they must learn to budget their class work with practice and game schedules. We try to offer something for every one; Volleyball, Field Hockey, Cross Country, Swimming in the fall. Soccer and Tennis in the spring, and an Eques trian Team that competes over both semesters. For those students who want to participate in sports without the "competitive" nature, the Salem Recreation Association, of which each student is automatically a member, offers intramural sports such as Flag Football, Volleyball, Badminton, Soft- ball and others throughout the year. We need Executive Board members and dorm representatives, so we're hoping for a lot of student involve ment. All in all, whether you are highly competitive or "laid back" in nature, Salem College Athletics has something for you.

Lehman Hall: What Goes On In There ? adapted by Karen L. Elsey and Kathryn White At one time Lehman Hall housed senior students. Now, however, some different residents have moved in. Within those four walls are a multi tude of resources and caring people waiting for you. The Office of the Dean of Students is located on the left as you walk in the front door. There you will find Dean Virginia Johnson (D.J.). An appoint ment would be nice, but she has never turned anyone away yet. Years of ex perience have prepared her for just about anything. Her office is open to all students for assistance with prob lems or concerns pertaining to life beyond the classroom. Debbie Cates is a woman with a long Ropes Course Making Memories by Allison Burkette The Salemite I was stuck halfway through a tire suspended ten feet above ground, my umbros were falling off, and my under wear was following closely behind... Amidst my struggling efforts to pull myself through! the tire and fall to the ground I asked myself, "Why am I here and what am I doing?" The obvi ous answers would have been to tell me that I was there because someone had pushed me through this tire and what I was doing was feeling like a total idiot. The not-so-obvious answer was that I was at the ropes course at Guilford College, sweating out one of the Hall Advisor training activities. For one day, the hall advisors, dorm presidents, and RHDs of each dorm endured a ropes course that seemed faintly reminiscent of marine boot camp. We walked blindfolded through the woods, we fell backwards into the arms of our Hall Councils, we tried to tightrope walk on cables strung be tween trees, and one group managed to drag every member of their Hall title (Assistant Dean of Students for Student Activities and Residential Life), but we know her as simply 'The Dean of Fun.' You can always find her on the move arranging movies of the week, helping CAC, planning a trip, or just listening to student concerns. Neville Watkins also lives in Lehman Hall. She is a one woman force to be dealt with. As Director of Financial Aid, Neville is responsible for distrib uting student grants, work study, schol arships, and loans. She is well known for her ability to find a way to finance your education. She is also a great lis tener. The Learning Resource Center/ Counseling Center is the domain of Ty Rice. He is always ready to help you out in a confidential manner. Ty offers individualized and self-paced pro grams which teach study skills to maximize the learning potential and academic performance of students. In other words, if you have a problem with academics or personal issues, he is your man! Sarah Albritton just had a baby boy. Thomas Wellington Albritton (Wells) has little to do with her title but every thing to do with the person! She is in charge of the Career Center and is able to assist students in career planning, interview skills, job placement, etc. In the Career Reading Room are papers galore atxaut what to do with your life. And last but certainly not least is Becky Pack-Moxley. It has been ru moured that she is the one that really runs the place. If Becky doesn't know it, no one does. end of the day, we were all hot, wet (it rained), sweaty, dirty, and very, very tired. ^ The next day, despite sore and aching muscles, we looked at our fellow hall advisorsinanewlight. Wehadleamed trust, respect, and had become much closer (after everyone has seen yo underwear, closesness follows rig along). The pain and hardship w worth it. Even the embarassme seemed worthwhile. The only que tion left to ask is - "Hall Advisor orin rine?" - you decide.
