The installation of Salem Col
lege’s new officers took place in
Chapel on Ajiril 10. At this time
Judy Graham, the incoming Presi
dent of the Student Government,
was given the Oath of Office by
past president Louise Barron.
Before leaving office Louise made
one specific request to the student
body and new officers : “I urge you
as individuals and as a group to
strive to become interested and in
formed about the things that go on
outside the realm of college acti
vities. Many of us are guilty of
such a lack of interest. We have
a tendency to avoid new ideas and
problems on a national and inter
national level — excusing ourselves
because of our age or because we
see no way to change a situation.
I believe the Student Government
Association, of which you are all
members, can foster this interest I
speak of.”
After being installed as Presi
dent, Judy Graham, in looking to-
w'ard the coming year, emphasized
the many changes and challenges
and maintained, “But most import
ant of all these new aspects is this
—I hope that Salem will be a little
new spiritually next year ... In
order to do this we must first
renew our interest in our Stee Gee
