HOBBS, HUNT, RICHARDSON, WOOTEN EXPRESS VIEWS
PRESIDENT OF STUDENT
GOVERNMENT
have observed that students have
many valuable opinions and criti
cisms. The ideas and plans of the
student body are, therefore, the
platform of a leader at Salem Col
lege.
If I am elected, your involve
ment and your ideas will be my
foremo.st interest and concern.
Joan Hobbs
Participating on the Judicial
Board for two years and serving
as Vice-President of the Junior
Jlass have been wonderful experi
ences, but nomination to this office
IS the greatest honor anyone has
given me, and I sincerely thank
you.
[ Experience as President of Bab
cock Dormitory in 1966-67 proved
to me that the success of our Hon
or Tradition and Student Govern
ment depends on the degree of
involvement from each student. A
leader should encourage participa
tion and distribute responsibility to
as many girls as possible. The
more students we have directly in
volved in the future of Salem, the
stronger our Honor Tradition and
Student Government become.
A leader should be a receptor of
ideas fnore than an initiator of
them. She should take the con
structive ideas of students, devel
op them, and with approval, put
them into effect. As Chairman of
the Junior Petitions Committee, I
Candidates state platforms,
pages 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Sara Hunt
To be able to state in “200 words
or less” my ambition and goals for
this office, 1 must know what each
of you seeks and wants for your
school. You, as the spirit of Sa
lem, are her backbone and her
strength. Surely without you the
bricks would stand, the Ivy would
climb and the bells would chime,
but what force would Salem have
without a student body to give her
vitality and meaning? You repre
sent Salem. You make her tick
and ring, or you make her stop.
Thus, . if I am your President, I
will endeavor to promote in every
possible way your personal and col
lective interests and goals and to
fulfill your hopes and aspirations
for your school. Executive, Leg
islative and Judicial Boards are only
as effective and firm as the students
behind them. Whatever you are,
Salem is. Whatever you want, Sa
lem becomes.
It is with confidence that I as
sume your interests and goals em
body the highest ideals and aims
for the enrichment of Salem and
your life here.
In the past two years I have
served on Judicial Board as House
President of Gramley and as Sec
retary of the Board. Aside from
serving on the Orientation Com
mittee twice, I have taken part in
many school activities and func
tions of various organizations.
Thank you for the trust placed
in me. I ask and hope for the
opportunity to work together with
you and to serve you as President
of Student Government.

The most basic and most import
ant qualification necessary for any
candidate for a Student Government
office is a desire and a willingness
to work, to serve, and to partici
pate. However, it takes something
beyond these basic elements to be
an effective and efficient officer.
On accepting the nomination for
President of Student Government,
it is my hope that I can provide
you with something extra, some
thing beyond these essential basics.
In any Student Government it
is essential to encourage the par
ticipation of all students. This,
coupled with a united student-fac
ulty relationship, can provide a
sound basis on which we, as the
student body, can act. This type
of organization takes qualified lead
ers who are willing to represent
each student, to serve as a com
municant between the students and
the administration, to make legisla
tive decisions suitable to the en
tire student body, and to strive con
stantly to preserve the spirit, tra
dition, and progressiveness of Sa
lem. Having served on Legislative
Board for three years and as
Treasurer of Student Government
this year, I have gained insight in
to the functional aspects of Stud
ent Government. I have become
aware not 'Only of problems, but
also of areas for possible inno
vations.
I realize that the job would not
be easy. In this light, I accept
the nomination with appreciation
and with a sincere desire that I
might serve as your President in
hopes that next year, together, we
would receive satisfaction from a
job well done.

Sue Wooten
This year, as Secretary of Stud
ent Government, I have worked
with Mary Alice and have seen
the varied duties and responsibili- ■
ties of a Student Government ■
President. I have realized that
one person cannot do a job alone;
She needs help, advice, and sup
port from others. As President of
Clewell my sophomore year, I
realized this also.
All students at Salem need to be
involved in some type of activity,'
and a Student Body President can
help involve them in these activities.
Only when we give ourselves to
Salem, will Salem be ours. We;
give through participation. Parfici-,.-
pation may be through delegated,
or voluntary activities. Activities
include, among other things, work,
on petitions and Student Govern
ment projects, such as Choice ’68
and the Christmas Help Fund. It
is a large part of the President’s,
duty to see . that these activities,
are made available. She must be
an initiator as well as a participant.;
If elected, I hope I will be both.

; Salem College could be considered
in all-girl world (at least during
(|h' week), but there are masculine
fepre.sentatives among the popula-
|ion this semester. Four men at
tend Salem, adding varied and in
teresting backgrounds to the cam-
i us’ collection of individuals.
In the School of Music is Phillip
lunigan, a flute teacher at the
North Carolina School of the Arts.
,|^r. Dunigan was born in Miami,
^orida, and has been in North
Jlarolina for three years. Having
attended the Julliard School of
Music and then beginning his pro
fessional work, Mr. Dunigan re
cently decided to earn his degree
nd chose neighboring Salem for
his studies. Mr. Dunigan combines
a busy schedule of school and work;
this semester he is taking nine aca
demic hours here at Salem.
.(Jack Clark is a Wake Forest sen-
ijor who decided that Salem was a
good place to take Advanced Cal-
^ tulus. He hails from Fayetteville
' ^nd is a special friend of Linda
i Moore.
( : A lifelong resident of Winston-
Salem, Whit East is Associate Pro
gram Director at the local YMCA.
^ 1963, Mr. East was motivated
to begin his studies by the YMCA
program which requires ninety
hours of college ' work. Presently
,hc has earned 78 hours, but Mr.
East plans to continue beyond his
Jromotion goal to earn a B. S. de-
wree in Sociology. His interest in
' ijalem began with his acceptance as
® part-time student.
John Hagan, a former associate
the North Carolina School of the
came from New York to Win
ston-Salem at the beginning of the
summer of 1967. Salem’s proximity
^as an important feature in his de-
fision to come to Salem. He was
Surprised, however, to learn of
Salem’s largely female student body.
Nevertheless, Mr. Hagan was un
daunted by the female majority and
is now active in his acadertiic en
deavors in the areas of Shakespeare,
Twentieth Century Poetry, and
American Literature. He is also
becoming Mr. Price for the current
Pierrette production of EH! So,
who says men don’t belong at
Salem ?

and teachers, with outstanding re
cords and achievements in this field
can become rriembers of this inter

Salem College students will parti
cipate in CHOICE 68, National Col
legiate Presidential Primary, April
24, as one of many colleges and
universities throughout the United
States.
CHOICE 68 offers college stu
dents the opportunity to express
preference on Presidential candi
dates and selected issues—to speak
for the first time as a political body.
With participation open to every
university, college, and junior col
lege in the United States, CHOICE
68 will be a major political event of
sufficient scope to merit the na
tion’s attention and consideration.
CHOICE 68 is administered by
eleven student leaders representing
different geographic regions and all
types of campuses. The Board of
Directors has established basic
guidelines for the Presidential Pri
mary, designed the national ballot,
and provided overall leadership and
direction. Time magazine has agreed
to underwrite the cost of national
administration of CHOICE 68 as a
public service. There is no connec
tion between the Primary and the
editorial content of Time.
Meeting in Washington, D. C.,
from February 10-13, the program’s
student directors selected a slate
of fourteen candidates for the pre
sidency. They are: P’red Halsted,
Mark Hatfield, Lyndon Johnson,
Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther
King, John Lindsay, Eugene Mc
Carthy, Richard Nixon, Charles
Percy, George Romney, Ronald
Reagan, Nelson Rockefeller, Harold
Stassen, and George Wallace.
Students also decided that three
referendum questions be included
on the ballot. Two deal with the
current involvement in Viet Nam,
and one with the priorities of gov
ernment spending in confronting the
“urban crisis.” Mr. Richard Scam-
mon. Director of the Elections Re
search Center, and Dr. Howard
Penniman of the Political Science
Department at Georgetown Univer
sity assisted the Board in their ef
forts to insure that the various
questions were properly phrased to
wards achieving maximum clarity.
The questions are answerable by
selecting one of five alternates given
the student. The first question is
“What course of action should the
United States pursue in Vietnam:
(1) Immediate withdrawal of Ameri
can Forces, (2) Phased reduction of
American military activity, (3)
Maintain current level of American
military activity, (4) Increase the
level of American military activity,
(5) ‘All out’ American military ef-
, fort.” The second quesion is “What
course ot action should the United
States pursue in regards to the
bombing of North Vietnam: (1)
Permanent cessation of bombing,
(2) Temporary suspension of bomb
ing, (3) Maintain current level of
bombing, (4) Intensify bombing, (5)
Use of nuclear weapons.” The
third question dealing with govern
ment spending is “In confronting
the ‘urban crisis,’ which of the fol
lowing should receive highest prior
ity in governmental spending; (1)
Education, (2) Job training and em
ployment opportunities, (3) Hous
ing, (4) Income subsidy, (5) Riot
control and stricter law enforce
ment.”
In addition, the Board resolved
several administrative questions,
such as voter qualification. It de
cided that any student currently
enrolled in an American college or
university will be eligible to vote in
the CHOICE 68 election. This in
cludes graduate, part-time, and for
eign students, as well as those
studying abroad in American branch
universities.
The high point of the CHOICE
68 conference held in Washington
was provided by President Lyndon
Johnson’s decision to meet with the
project’s Board of Directors. In an
interview described by aides as un
usual, the President discussed for
nearly an hour an a half the stu
dents’ plan for the national primary
to be held April 24.
Since student dissent over the
past year has been directed pri
marily against White House policies
there was considerable surprise and
curiosity that the President would
take such extraordinary time with
the leaders of the collegiate pri
mary.
Nonetheless, the President ex
pressed to the group his conviction
