CONNOR, DeLUCA, LYKES, MOORE REVEAL
PRESIDENT OF
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Chris Connor
Awareness and responsibility
reed care and love. As Student
overnment President my goal
ould be instigating in each stu-
ent an awareness of and a re-
jonsibility to Salem’s every struc-
iral part. However idealistic, this
aal is meant to be shot for.
To further awareness, I would
,k Leg. Board members to give
□nest opinions, frank suggestions,
tid pointed criticism, inside and
ntside meetings. I would demand
onesty of opinion and encourage
stition and constructive argument
•om each student. Actions I would
ipport are student-faculty discus-
ons on expectations of each other
ad self-discipline. Awareness and
ppreciation w'ould result through
lote effective publicizing of or-
inizational opportunities.
People need responsibility, con-
dence in doing, and assurance of
icceeding. I would ask each or
ganization to seek highest working
student participation. Students
would have responsibility to weigh
policy change consequence, such as
individually scheduled exams, which
I support.
The two goals, awareness and
responsibility, would be underlined
with unity. We would work as a
team, not just as coach and forward
line. The backfield is in every
play, and for every first down, the
crowd stands up and is heard.
If elected, I would keep these
goals before me. I would meet any
situation knowing the confidence
you place in me and with confidence
I have in myself to work meaning
fully and creatively for our school.
Mary Alice DeLuca
Student Government is our or
ganization. Each one of us has a
voice in the abolishment of old
rules which are not effective and
in the establishment of new rules
which are. As Student Government
President, I would, first, provide
places of leadership for as many
different students as possible and
encourage the active responsibility
of every student in all phases of
campus life. There is so much
potential in the students here, and
I feel that this should be developed
—especially through work in Stu
dent Government.
Second, I would like to see us
have added responsibility in making
a majority of social and academic
decisions. This year’s Student Gov
ernment has especially excelled in
this.
Third, I would encourage atten
dance of our students at confer
ences. It is through these and re
lated activities that we can increase
communication with other colleges
and help stimulate activity on cam
pus and interest in the world “be
yond the square.”
Fourth, I would encourage stu
dents to attend Legislative Board
as observers which would increase
understanding between the students
and their representatives. It is
every student’s responsibility to
work through her representative in
order to get her own ideas and
views expressed effectively.
I have served on Legislative
Board for two years as both dorm
and class representative. I have
also worked in other campus or
ganizations and in special projects
for Student Government.

What can I do if elected Presi
dent of the Student Government to
best serve you, the student body of
Salem College and the college as a
whole? This is the question that
I ask myself as nominee for the
office of the President of Student
Government.
The question is about you and
the answer lies in you. For, you
make up the most important part
of Salem College, the student body.
The office of the President of
Student Government is one with
many responsibilities and duties. It
involves working with you, the fac
ulty, and the administration to ac
complish what you want done for
the good of the college. Therefore,
my hope is that you will assume
the responsibility of letting your
plans and ideas be known and of
participating in carrying out these
ideas.
One of my goals is to get more
student involvement and arouse ex
citement in student activities on the
part of all. In addition to this, if
elected I hope to fulfill the office
of the President of Student Gov
ernment with dignity and honor as
your representative. I would con
sider it a privilege to serve you.
Linda Moore
. First, let me thank you for nomi
nating me for the office of Presi
dent of Student Government.
The idea of this statement, so I
understand, is that I am to tell you
my qualifications for the presidency
and my aims in fulfilling this office.
I have served on Legislative Board
for three years, as a class repre
sentative for freshmen and sopho
mores and as Secretary this year.
My experience in these capacities
has given me an understanding of
the functions of our Student Gov
ernment. However, I do not con
sider experience the most import
ant qualification for a president.
Interest and willingness to support
our students’ needs and wishes with
a lot of effort are necessary for
the girl who is to be our President.
She must want to work for us. I
want to work for us. I think this
too answers the question of aims.
I’ll aim for what you want.
The office of President has some
times been tagged “the big guns.”
If you feel this way, let me propose
a deal. You set up the target,
we’ll all aim, and I’ll pull the trig
ger.
Thank you for considering me.

^ugbee Challenges Students
"hrough Talks, Discussions
By Mary Day Mordecai
For two days last week Salem
:udents and faculty had the oppor-
mity to hear Dr. Henry Bugbee.
lany present were challenged by
le complicated train of thought as
e displayed his command of lan-
uage and powers of story-telling.
Dr. Bugbee’s first lecture, “What
> Existential Thought?” was ad-
ressed to a full house in Shirley
.ecital Hall Thursday night. He
egan by examining Satre’s theo-
es, since existentialism has been
□nnected with this author after
MO. Satre’s main theory, “Exis-
:nce preeeeds essence,” is an out-
rowth of his background during the
rench Revolution. It was an at-
:mpt to arouse people to the reali-
ition that men alone are respon-
ble for what befalls them. Dr.
ugbee sees Satre as an author try-
ig to express his desire to under-
t a n d the foundation of all, in
■hich man may find security and
now essentially the meaning of
eace. ' ’
The speaker then examined other
xistentialists, Paul Tillich and Al
ert Camus. He stated that Tillich
jrned from the sense of self-sen-
rrned from the sense of self-cen-
nitude or finite existence. Al-
lough Tillich and Camus differ,
ley do have some common traits.
)r. Bugbee then commented on the
evelopment of their school of
bought. He stated that it had some
ackground in the Descartian philo-
ophy. Romanticism, and Classic
ledieval philosophy.
The philosopher then discussed
be theme of committment, the
lovement toward responsibility in
fe’s relationships. He concluded
y defining existentialism as a re-
lective, introspective look at life
nd things. Existentialists see man’s
xistence as evolving according to
uman relationships. They also
nvision the great need to differen
tiate between appearance and
reality.
Dr. Bugbee gave his second main
lecture, “Of Myth and Legend:
Stories to Ponder,” at the 11 a.m.
assembly Friday. He employed his
narrative abilities by telling the
myth of Cornada from The King
and the Corpse. Concluding the
myth. Dr. Bugbee assured the audi
ence, “Better one story told than
many things about it.’ In closing
comments however, he briefly ex-
