Page Two THE SALEMITE Friday, October 24,19, Student Urges Open Criticism From All roun J ffke Ofcfi uare As a concerned student at Salem College, I would like to com ment on observed student reaction to the Viet Nam Moratorium and the issue of The Salemite published in conjunction with that day of protest. Salem College is considered a conservative institution and it is d fact that there is a strong conservative element among the Col lege's students. During the weeks preceding the Moratorium and on the day of the Moratorium itself, the more liberal students at Salem banded together to make their views on the issue of the War publicly known. These students spoke out on the issues, they allowed their sentiments to be published in the newspaper, and they partici pated in discussion and active protest in the Square. I feel compelled to ask: Where were all the girls who don't mind shunning a liberal-minded fellow student on campus, but who refuse to bring their feelings to the discussion groups where they might be challenged? Where was the girl who left a note in the Salemite editor's box stating: "It is too bad the Salemite is so bias (sic) and propagandistic—editor especially."? Where were those who tore up their issues of The Salemite and left them in the editor's box? If these people disapprove of what took place, why don't they speak out? The liberal students and Salemite staff at this College challenge you to voice your opinion. We want to listen to what you have to say; we want to discuss the way you feel; we want to publish your ideas on issues so important to all of us. J B Freshmen Decorating Talents % Free Lunches At Salem Tavern Conscientious Violators Call Dress Code Into Question It has been noted that several girls were not allowed to attend assembly Wednesday, October 15, because they were wearing slacks. These girls were turned away at the door by marshals as they attempted to go into the auditorium. On page 45 of the Student Handbook the regulation concerning assenibly dress specifically states that a CALL DOWN should be issued for "misbehavior or improper dress in assembly." The marshals have made an obvious error in their enforcement of assembly regulations. Furthermore, it seems only just that these girls who were denied the privilege of attending assembly be cause of their apparel, have their assembly cuts excused for that day should they petition through the proper channels. This entire situation brings up a more significant point. Stu dents are consciously and continually violating dress regulations. I, personally, feel that the college has no right to tell me what I may or may not wear, and I feel sure that quite a few students agree with me. I do respect the wishes of the President of the College and any one else who concurs that Salem students should maintain an acceptably neat appearance. However, I feel that an acceptably appearance can certainly be maintained while wearing By Sterling Winstead IRS held its annual Freshman Room Contest Wednesday, October IS. The rooms were judged on originality, color scheme and neat ness. It might be hard to convince some freshmen that the judges really visited every floor. This year -first floor took the honors in all three dorms. Andrea Jackson from Roanoke, Virginia, and Sarah Beth Sullivan from Shelby were winners in Cle- well. They used green and yellow for their color scheme and carried this out with flowered contact paper on chests, around the sink, on desk blotters and even cut out flowers on the water pipes. They had matted fall leaves in a frame and hung them on the wall. Andrea says sociology will most likely be her major while Sarah Beth is a music major in piano. In case anyone wants to drop by to see their room, the number is 108. In room 103, Babcock, you will find Miriam Manning and Patsy McLaurin. The first impression that came into my mind when I opened the door was a carnival. Bright striped curtains carrying out the pink and orange color scheme are the main attraction. Both girls went to St. Mary’s so they knew each other before they came to Salem. Miriam is from Williams- ton, and is a “maybe” math major. Patsy, from Rowland, is a Home Economics major. In 117 Gramley you will find Jose phine and Napoleon—they pay room rent to Emily Kenan and Beth Wil son! These two turtles are one of the many unusual things found in their room. Besides carrying out their orange and yellow color scheme with pillows, bedspreads and odds and ends, Beth anH t found an old bench and nainM They took two wooden Dr cases, turned them on their? and used them for nil. shelves.

As a reward all their efforts all six girls ar vited to lunch at the Salem Tav with IRS footing the tab. Film Series Features Fantastic Flicks -- Fre FILM SERIES-1969-1970 DRAMA WORK SHOP-7:00 P.M. LETTER TO THE EDITOR neat slacks, especially when one considers .hriiinrLporry faZ" More petitians and more student interest will bring this aroblem out into the open. You have the right to petition-use it! ^ S K Dear Editor, The coughing epidemic which swept over Assembly Wednesday, October 15, when Dr. Mowrer spoke, was a source of uneasiness for many faculty, students and the speaker alike. Although I do not agree that the seizure was a protest of any form, I feel that much of the cacophony was unwarranted. Obviously, the cessation of all coughing in Assembly cannot be expected. An awareness of the problem by students, however, and consideration for the speaker and the rest of the audience can greatly remedy this situation. Other sug gestions? — if you’re seized by a coughing fit, slip out the side door. Better yet, if you have a cold, pick up some cough drops at the Book store on the way to Assembly—and use them.
