Salem’s Married Students
Busy With School, Home
By Anne Kendrick
Salem’s married students are con
tinually busy with their school life
and their home life, but they all
agree that the combination of
school and home is well worth the
extra time and work that it takes.
Jane Hedgpeth Adcock, Fallie
Lohr Cecil, and transfer student
Judy Smithson are married to men
who are also students. They agree
that the fact that both husband
and wife have to study makes it
easier to keep a good study sche
dule than if one were out of school
and one were not. Jane Adcock
says that Gene, a second year medi
cal student at Bowman Gray, often
helps her finish housework so that
they can sit down together to
study.
Judy Smithson, a transfer from
the University of North Carolina
Nursing School, lost a year’s credit
in transferring from a nursing
course to liberal arts, but she feels
that it is important for her to finish
her education since her husband,
Tony, will be in the medical profes
sion. Judy says that it is a real
challenge to her to be a wife, a
homemaker, and a student all at
the same time. Fallie Cecil has no
classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays
so she devotes that time to her
housework and to cooking special
dishes which she loves to prepare
when she has a little extra time.

Sunday afternoon, October 20.
The State Student Legislature is
a mock legislature, held by North
Carolina colleges and universities in
the Capitol in Raleigh. Each col
lege sends a delegation which pre
sents its bill and works for its
adoption by the legislature. Bills
that are passed may be deemed
worthy of consideration of the
North Carolina General Assembly
and presented to it. This gives
college students a voice in North
Carolina’s laws.
The Interim Council voted to

HAPPINESS CAN’T BUY MONEY
With tuition costs steadily on the rise, more and more under
graduates are looking into the student loan plan. If you are
one such, you would do well to con.sider the case of Leonid
Sigafoos.
Leonid, the son of an unemployed bean gleaner in Straight
ened Circumstances, Montana, had his heart set on going to
college, but his father, alas, could not afford to send him.
Leonid applied for a Regents Scholarship, but his reading
speed, alas, was not very rapid —three words an hour —and
before he could finish the first page of his exam, the Regents
had closed their briefcases crossly and gone home. Leonid then
applied for an athletic scholarship, but he had, alas, only a single
athletic skill—picking up beebees with his toes—and this, alas,
aroused only fleeting enthusiasm among the coaches.
And then—happy day!—Leonid learned of the student loan
plan: he could borrow money for his tuition and repay it in
easy installments after he left school 1
Happily Leonid enrolled in the Southeastern Montana CoL

lege of Lanolin and Restoration Drama and happily began a
college career that grew happier year by year. Indeed, it be
came altogether ecstatic in his senior year because Leonid met
a coed named Anna Livia Plurabelle with hair like beaten gold
and eyes like two sockets full of Lake Louise. Love gripped
them in its big moist palm, and they were betrothed on St.
Crispin’s Day.
Happily they made plans to be married immediately after
commencement—plans, alas, that were never to come to fruition
because Leonid, alas, learned that Anna Livia, like himself,
was in college on a student loan, which meant that he not only
had to repay his own loan after graduation but also Anna
Livia’s and the job, alas, that was waiting for Leonid at the
Butte Otter Works simply did not pay enough, alas, to cover
both loans, plus rent and food and clothing and television
repairs.
Heavy hearted, Leonid and Anna Livia sat down and lit
Marlboro Cigarettes and tried to find an answer to their prob
lem—and, sure enough, they did! I do not know whether or
not Marlboro Cigarettes helped them find an answer; all I know
is that Marlboros taste good and look good and filter good, and
when the clouds gather and the world is black as the pit from
pole to pole, it is a heap of comfort and satisfaction to be sure
that Marlboros will always provide the same easy pleasure,
the same unstinting tobacco flavor, in all times and climes and
conditions. That’s all I know.
Leonid and Anna Livia, I say, did find an answer—a very
simple one. If their student loans did not come due until they
left school, why then they just wouldn’t leave school! So after
receiving their bachelor’s degrees, they re-enrolled and took
master’s degrees. After that they took doctor’s degrees—loads
and loads of them—until today Leonid and Anna Livia, both
aged 87, both still in school, hold doctorates in Philosophy,
Humane Letters, Jurisprudence, Veterinary Medicine, Civil
Engineering, Optometry, Woodpulp, and Dewey Decimals.
Their student loans, at the end of the last fiscal year,
amounted to a combined total of nineteen million dollars—a
sum which they probably would have found some difficulty in
repaying had not the Department of the Interior recently de
clared them a National Park. . ® loaa m»x —

You don’t need a student loan—just a tittle loose change—
to grab a pack of smoking pleasure: Marlboros, sold in ali
fifty states in familiar soft pack and Flip-Top box.
