Faculty Advisor Miss Jess Byrd Consider Qualifications During Major Elections I noted the letter from Dottie Girling and Margaret Persons in the February 14th issue of The Salemite. It was a heart breaker, almost like a soap opera script which tries to do its best to prove that women are the weaker sex. May I repeat a portion of the letter ? (The letter was about the suggested plan that Salem girls be given work opporunities, especially in the dining room.) “One deciding factor must be whether girls are willing to work twice a day. Serv ing lunch and dinner would entail some three or four hours daily, and few people are willing to spend or can afford — that amount of time.” This statement hurt me deeply, as it will most young men who read it. The students who penned this letter should have said, “few girls (not people) are willing to spend, etc.” I am assuming that boys are also people, and there must be millions of these sorts of people who spend not just three or four hours a day on a job in order to get a college education, but some of us worked full seven or eight hour shifts, or ten hours on batur day, or all night, Sundays, holidays and vacations. j u:- ttip Perhaps I should not doubt point that few Salem girls would be willing to spend the necessary time. This would take them away from the Steak House trips, end less hours before the T. V., sleep ing in the library as the IRS presi dent noted as well as some -- of my guests at the college, bridge games, dating, and all those other import tant college functions. Well, I guess it just proves that even in a “Beatled Brow” age where boys try to look like women, and women try to be men, that girls will always be girls Lovingly, Robert L.

Holding an office is the choice between knitting and going to a committee meeting, between studying and working on an extra-curricnlar program^ But students are not usually nominated for student government offices unless they have already shown and desire to undertake this type of work.

So much time and thought has been put into this program that now the only undetermined factor is student With a play and, hopefully, musical performance there will be plenty of opportunity for students “to get into the act. Prob- Lly most beneficial to the majority of students, will be par cipation in the discussion groups. ^^nTia oF Pun Students are especially encouraged to attend FOCUS at Ra dolph-Macon Woman’s College March 6-8. It would be a good opportunity for underclassmen to see an open symposium for other colleges. When our Fine Arts building is finished, a larger symposium may be feasible for Salem. We can send Id delegates to FOCUS in Lynchburg, Virgmia. If our Symposium is successful, in the next few years, with increased facilities we might also be able to have twenty speakers and representatives from all over the United States- Monday, March 2 has been set as the day when the Sabine polio vaccine will be administered to Salem students, faculty, and other employees.
