Salemite Asks Students
To Think-Then Nominate
An important part of second semester is the nomination arid
election of Salemites who are to represent the student body in
campus organizations for the coming school year. Once again
The Salemite would like to urge all of the students here to stop
and think before making nominations. The ineligibility list can be
found on the first page of the paper for a purpose—to help you in
deciding who can and may be nominated for the offices we must
fill. Monday each student will be asked to record her choices, with
emphasis on her choices. It is up to you to decide who can do the
jobs. If you fail to make your own decisions to the best of your
ability, you can say nothing about the outcome. Please think first.
Salemite Criticizes Food;
Smith Lauds Boycotters
Dear Editor,
During exams I was quite embar
rassed to bring a guest in the re
fectory for lunch when macaroni
without cheese, asparagus (which
my friend did not like) and canned
fruit was served as the entire meal.
Needless to say we both left the
table still hungry for there was not
enough bulk in that meal to fill
anyone, but moreover because the
food, especially the macaroni, was
most unappetizing.
Having told my friend quite
sometime before his visit that
Salem College food was quite good,
for institutional food, I naturally
had to apologize and was extremely
embarrassed.
However, this is just one example
of the type of meals we have been
getting during the second half of
first semester. Certainly, many
people would be glad not to see a
slice of baloney anytime soon and
I am sure the maids are tired of
running after peanut butter and
jelly on the many days when the
lunches are as unappetizing as that
one was. Students can’t live on
peanut butter, jelly, and “fresh”'
bread forever! Fortunately we have
gotten off of the ravioli menu re
cently. But last Saturday when Ij
asked one of the maids what we
were having for supper she replied,
“Barbecue, as usual”.
I realize that it is not easy to
prepare for and please five hundred
girls; however I do think that
something could be done about the
.quality and variety of the foods
that are served, and maybe some
one else could avoid the sincere
embarrassment that I experienced.
Sincerely,
Sandy Kelley
Dear Editor:
May I take this presumptive
.opportunity (sic) to commend the
wisdom and the taste of those stu
dents who boycotted the chapel
program featuring the Rev.
William Glenesk.

The weekend of February 14 was
the date of many events this year,
yet any girl will give her vote to
Valentine’s Day being the most
special Of all. The scent of roses
filled all the Salem dorms while
individual Salemites showed off big
boxes of candy and funny cards
from her special beau and other
wise friends.
Chris Little’s lavalier mate. Gar
land Ricks, a K A at Wake, sent
her a dozen red roses to start the
day off right.
Candi Peters’ Valentine present
from Sgt. Doug Buckley was a
diamond ring. Doug, from Be^er,
Pennsylvania, is stationed at Fort
Bragg. They hope to be married
this summer.
Howard Taylor, a Phi Kap at
U. Va. came down to visit Betsy
Hayes on Valentines Day and
brought her his lavalier.
Susanne Balberine proudly sports
the pin of Zeke Gaszelle, a junior
at Mt. Zion Junior College.
Susan Greene is pinned to Ran
dall Moring, a Dartmouth student
who is presently in the army.
Maybe there is something in the
idea that French is a Romance
department and not a regular mem
ber of the faculty), it seemed to
me that the Rev. Glenesk is advo
cating that we make even our
church services take the form of
competitive entertainment men
tioned in Mr. Ruggero’s poem “God
is Not Dead” wh ch appeared in
your January 17th Salemite.
A church service should be • a
time of worship for those who,
attend; and I hesitate to see how
any dance, film or “pop art” paint
ing is going to provide a genuine
worship experience for an ardent
and sincere church-goer.
Let me say “Thank you” to those
students who, by their absence,
refused to lend their approval to
such a program as that recom
mended by Rev. Glenesk.

E I L Offers Scholarships
For Travel, Study, Fun
The Salemite staff feels that Mrs.
Smith’s letter requires clarification
from a student point of view. We
feel that for the most part, students
did not boycott the assembly but
rather, chose not to attend because
the assembly was scheduled for the
last day of the semester. Also it
must be mentioned that most of the
students had no chance to form an
opinion on the subject of Rev. Gle-
nesk’s talk until after the assembly
on Wednesday, January IS, because
the subject was not adequately ex
plained in the announcements we
received prior to that program.
Also, we can not fail to note Mrs.
Smith’s use of the phrase “ardent
and sincere church-goer”. Perhaps
such services as Rev. Glenesk sug
gested would be more meaningful
to people who consider religion
more than just attending traditional
worship services.
, We invite students, faculty, and
administration replies to these
opinions.

The Southern Office of the Ex
periment in International Living
with headquarters in Chattanooga,
Tennessee, announces that 1969 EIL
programs will offer college students
the opportunity of spending the
summer in one of 38 countries in
Africa, Australia, Asia, the Middle
East, Europe, South America, and
North America.
Special interest programs include
the study of French civilization, the
study of Greek literature, and an
archaeological project in Spain.
Special programs to be repeated are
a social service project in Switzer
land and the teaching of English as
a foreign language in Japan.
Independent travel is optional at
the conclusion of the homestay and
group travel program. Interest-free
loans and some scholarships are
available based on need. Further in
formation may be obtained by writ
ing The Experiment, Chattanooga,
Tennessee 3740S.
Since a group of American youths
were introduced to French and
German-speaking counterparts in
Switzerland in 1932, The Experi
ment in International Living has
developed into a world-wide oper
ation with representatives in some
60 countries, involved annually in
the exchange of more than 5,000
young men and women between the
United States and 100 different
nations. ' -
An Outbound Experiment group
typically comprises from ten to
twelve men arid women between the
ages of 16 and 30, under the guid
ance of a specially-trained leader,
who live for a month as a “son” or
a “daughter” of a family abroad.
This firsthand opportunity to de
velop friendships, learn the customs
and traditions and participate in the
activities of the host country from
the vantage point of a. family envi
ronment is the heart of an Experi
ment experience.
The second month is spent trav
eling about the country with host
family members as their guests, or
in special work or field study pro
jects. During 1967, 2,315 Experi
menters from the United States
visited 44 different countries.
Incoming Experimenters may be
foreign students or short-term visi
tors, all of whom enjoy homestays.
Many programs also involve travel
or study. During 1967, 2,777 Experi
menters from some 100 countries
visited the United States on these
programs.
In addition to these standard
programs and their variants, The
Experiment jointly sponsors over
seas study programs with colleges
and universities, has long cooper
ated with the State Department on
special project assignments, and
has trained more Peace Corps units
for service overseas than any other
private voluntary organization.

Living in the Home Management
House can have its conveniences
and inconveniences, seven junior
and senior Home Economics majors
have discovered. The girls living in
the House this year are Barbie
Barton, Brandy Aiken, Emily
Withers, Sue Palaschak, Jane
Boyd, Jane Huneycutt, and Ronnie
Halward. They have most of the
comforts of home, including a
television and radio, but no record
player. The house is fully carpeted
including the kitchen. There is
plenty of hot water, but the girls
who like showers are having to get
used to tubs instead.
On the first Saturday the girls
were in the House, they were
awakened by the dishwasher re
pairman who proceeded to remove
the dishwasher instead of fixing it.
Needless to say, there are many
“dishpan hands” now in evidence.
Each girl is assigned one of the
six jobs each week. The girls des
ignated the jobs to include Man
ager, Assistant manager. Assistant
Cook, Supplies Manager, and two
House Cleaners. The Manager is
in charge of the whole operation
for her week. Among other tasks,
she plans the menus, buys the
groceries, and cooks. After a girl
is manager, she is given a week to
recuperate with no jobs.
Mrs. Margaret Snow, Head of
the Home Economics Department,
eats lunch and dinner with the
girls. Meals are served at specified
times and everyone must be there.
It is not unusual to pass the House
at 6:30 a.m. and see someone cook
ing breakfast and then see her
there again at 10:00 p.m. still clean
ing up after dinner or already
starting on the breakfast prepar
ations. Despite their “droopy eye
lids and thrown together clothes,”
as one girl put it, they are all
enjoying their experiment in group
living as “one big family.”
