Drinks Situation Requires
Responsible Student Action
New additions on campus peeled Salemites once again this
fall. Most are welcome additions—carpeting in Clewell, new
publication and student government offices, fresh paint. A total
surprise to students, however, was the absence of a single bottled
drink on campus. Adjustments are necessary with such a drastic
change. Mild withdrawal symptoms are to be expected when
you receive a third the amount of beverage for the same price.
Lukewarm coke in cups is not exactly appetizing, and the new
machines offer a limited selection. Such adjustments seemed
possible until we were told that we could not bring our own
bottled and canned drinks on campus. Anyone who wants a
bottled drink badly enough to go to a grocery store to buy a
carton should be allowed to do so. The same person would have
paid the deposit on the bottles and would probably return them
for the refund. Thus, the problem of excess bottles would no
longer exist. If bottles are not possible, perhaps a compromise
can be reached whereby canned drinks be permitted on campus.
Cans are disposed of as easily as cups. Dietary drinks, the anti
dote for Bussell’s rolls, are not available in the new machines
but can be purchased in cans. Metrecal and soup are sold at the
bookstore in cans, so why not soft drinks? A thirsty year lies
ahead unless student action is initiated, such as a petition for
compromise, backed by a promise of individual responsibility for
disposing of containers.
Library Displays
Historic Medals
An historical exhibit of unusual
interest is now on display in the
lobby of the Salem College Library.
The exhibit is touring museums as
a loan from the Palm Beach Science
Museum and Planetarium. The col
lection is comprised of historical
medals, and was the gift of Mrs.
Clyde W. Fisher of Palm Beach,
National Historian, DAC.
These medals, equisitely wrought
of bronze and created by master
medalists of three centuries, com
press the nation’s history in eternal
comemoratives. The hero medals
bear a bust or head of the recipient
on one side and scenes depicting
their famous battles on the other;
the great names of our country roll
into sight as one gazes on these
medals.
Issued by the United States Mint,
and though the original dies are no
longer usable according to Mrs. Eva
Adams, director, these medals are
exact reproductions of those given
for outstanding service to the na
tion. There are nearly one hundred
medals in the collection.
The collection contains 36 Presi
dential Medals, each bearing the
likeness of the person honored.
According to Mrs. Adams, similar
medals bearing the bust of the Eng
lish monarch were made in colonial
days to be given to friendly Indian
chiefs. These were greatly admired
and cherished by the chiefs, and
after the War for Independence the
United States Government decided
to continue making them, substi
tuting the head of the American
president. On the reverse were the
symbols of peace and friendship.
In 1861, Mr. J. Ross Snowden,
then director of the Mint, con
ceived the idea of making replicas
pf all medals in bronze available to

Your attention, please. This is
an emergency. This is NOT a test.
The sound you will hear for the
next thirty minutes is the Real
Thing. Please turn your radio dials
to Connalrod station WBO for a
minute-by-minute account of the
disaster. We switch you now to
our news room and WBO an
nouncer Nigel N. Nigel with the
latest news of the blight. Take it
away, Nigel.
But first, a word from your local
disaster area sponsor. Does your
liver quiver? Is your lung sprung?
Is your spleen green ? Does your
bladder splatter? Is your brain
sane ? If you are tormented by
these serious maladies, if every
breath you take is a hazard to your
health, if you lack the very will to
live, don’t stop now; don’t abandon
ship; don’t yield to the temptation
to stoop under defeat. Yes, there
is hope for the downtrodden and
rest for the weary. There is a way
to end the agonizing torment you
have endured so long. Salvation
for the suffering. Relief can soon
be yours with Dr. Thaddeas P.
Thornapple’s new Preparation X-3S
Super Quick Elixir. Guaranteed to
rejuvenate your entire body systems
as well as send your sinuses to
Argentina. Within seconds you will
be totally unaware that your prob
lems ever existed. CAUTION: do
not drive while under the influence
of this potent miracle drug. Dr.
Thornapple makes no rash claims
for the effectiveness of this elixir.
Although your physical symptoms
will undoubtedly persist for the
duration of the treatment, your
mental ability will be so diminished
that you are guaranteed the delu
sion of perfect health and absolute
grandeur.
And now for another news flash.
The crisis is over; the fever has
broken; stark terror is the rule of
the day. Unfortunately, Los Ange
les has been wiped off the face of
the earth. Also obliterated are the
beautiful cities of Chicago, New
York, Washington, Atlanta, Detroit,
and Miami. So now for all you
swingers in Sweet Lips, Teni
here’s another Stax Wax to
n«set
oldy mouldy goldy from
watd
groovy graveyard from the

files of WBO, and I’ll be back

the shack with a love attack
Yes, it is that time of year again.

Letter To Editor
By Carol Carson
This summer has been a busy one
for all Salemites, but apparently
some of us managed to reinforce
our social lives with bands, pins,
rings, and lavaliers.
Lillian Young has added Hewitt
to her name. Have you seen Larry
and Lillian in the pool hall? Mari
anne Buie Gingher has joined the
ranks of day students and may be
seen driving her “family’s” yellow
car. Pat Squires and Mike Jett are
now residing in Winston-Salem.
Pat and Mike do find time for a
game or two of cards in Bitting,
though.
Mary Sterns is now Mary Shaff-
ner, thanks to Rand. Donna Van
Dyke and Danny Moseley were
married this summer, too. Another
senior, Pam Jordan, is now the
blushing bride of Barry Stallings.
SuSu Britt is now married to Men
del Jordan.
Ricky Harper’s Lambda Chi pin
.vnow may be seen on Leila Skinner.
Ricky graduated from Wake Forest
and is now a first year law student
there. Reen Harris, Leila’s room
mate, is decorated with Sewanne
Kappa Sig Hansford Leake’s pin.
Nancy Corbett received Billy Po-
teat s KA pin this weekend. Billy
is a Wake Forest graduate now at
tending Bowman Gray Medical
School. Too bad there weren’t
more girls in the dorm when you
came in Saturday night. Don’t
worry, Nancy, you’ll get your
shower yet.
Clarine Pollock, a transfer stu
dent from St. Mary’s, is pinned to
Davidson SAE Rob Powell. Anne
Copenhaven, another St. Mary
alumna, is pinned to Phil Cotton a
Sigma Nu at State.
West Point’s influence is well-
evidenced in Kit Foster’s pin from
Mike Havey and Connie Koeppel’s
pin from Don Jagger.
This weekend Pam Smith re
vived a pm from David James, a
J^appa Sig at Wake Forest.

Editor,
It is always a pleasure for me to
return to Salem campus after a
long summer. The atmosphere here
is different from any place else«
earth. Each girl is an individd
and yet a part of a whole. I firnly
believe that that whole can ofltt
something to any girl that becomei
a part of it.
Recently I have heard criticisn
pertaining to certain restrictions oi
dress and use of bottled drinlii
However, when you consider Sala
as a whole, the few minor restric
tions placed on the student bodj
can only be considered small to tlit
opportunities Salem’s tradition of
fers. In this world there are ftt
things that a girl of the moderi
generation can hold constant a™
true. Salem girls should welcoB
a certain stability in their lives.
Salem accepted us knowing *
skills and weaknesses, so let us ac
cept her on the same basis.
