her.
After she caught her breath Susan
did have time to reflect on her of
fice. "It is going to be a huge job
but it will be a good chance to work

a big help to the president. And
I’ll enjoy being on Leg. Board

be easy, and will be a lot of work.
“But I think it will help me in
fostering good relationships with
other people.” Scottie’s mother and
grandmother were both in Winston-
Salem visiting when she was elected.
“This will be a nice surprise for
them!”
Catherine Cooper’s initial reaction
to her election as Secretary of
Honor Council was, “I GOT":^
CALL MY FATHER AND MO
THER!” Catherine was ecstatic
but she reiterated that Honor Coun
cil will have to do some interpreting
this year since it has been sepa
rated from the other student gov
ernment official boards, etc. Since
they’re being separated from the
others, they’ll get a chance to think
what penalties and objectives are,
. whether our priority is protec
tion of the girls in the school, or
whatever,” Catherine concluded her
interview by yelling, “I’m so glad
I’m finally gonna get to DO SOME
THING and HELP at Salem.”
Le Newell, of Charlotte, is the
new Secretary of Interdorm Coun
cil. Le worked on Judi Board this
year and is looking forward to
working with Ren Hewitt next year.
Le emphasized the importance of
this new council, saying I think
that we’ll get some really good so
cial changes next year that will be
better for everyone. We will have
to work very closely with Honor
Council to get things coordinated.
I just hope problems don’t arise,
but we’ll handle them if they do.”
Le concluded her interview by
thanking everyone standing around
... she was very excited.
The whole audience cheered when
Anna Moore Butzner was declared
the new Student Government Trea
surer. Her initial reactions were
quick and varied . . . “It’s like a
dream You really want something
like this and then it happens . . .
Will somebody please tell me what
the hell this office entails? ... I
believe the budget is th- big con
cern, and it will be my main issue
in the coming year. I am interested
in writing treasurers of student gov
ernments of other schools to find
out money-making projects to keep
our student government out of the
hole . . . Doi-oi-oi-oinnng!!!” Anna
Moore then stated that she fully

editor
Three new publications editors
will assume their positions shortly
after spring break. Jeannie Patter
son, Editor-in-Chief of The Salemite
for 1971-72 will tackle her new job
immediately following the vacation,
while Kathy Manning, the new In
cunabula Editor and Libby Seibert,
the new Editor for Sights and In
sights will have to wait till the cur
rent editors have completed their
year’s work.
Libby is from Roanoke, Virginia,
and hopes to use her major art
in her treatment of the school an
nual next year. She has been on
the annual staff since her freshman
year, and has served in the capacity
of co-freshman editor, sophomore
editor, junior editor, and in charge
of honors. She also was The Salem-
ite’s circulation manager this year.
Libby says that what the annual
can do next year depends on several
things, the main one of which is the
amount of money the annual has to
use. So far this year, the yearbook
is in the red, so Libby is trying to
think of ingenious ways to earn
money for the staff next year, in
order to have a free hand in the
composition of what she hopes will
be a terrific yearbook, with new
innovations, depending on student
reaction to this year’s annual.
Kathy Manning is a North Caro
linian with an identical twin sister
been studying French and German
at Goethe University in Paris. She
at Queens. This year Kathy has
Seibert and Patterson
has worked closely with the Incima-
bula staff since her fresnmaa >ear,
and was very excited to hear the
good news from Mary Pickens, its
current editor. She likes the new
format of printing being initiated
this year, and also has some very
artistic ideas for the magazine’s
composition next year She feels
that life has been very hectic for
her this year, but it has been very
enjoyabl'’: and she is looking for
ward to coming back.
The new Salemite editor, none
other than Miss Jeanne Patterson
of Shelby, North Carolina, has also
worked on her publication’s staff
since her freshman year. Jeannie
has been everything to and for
the Salemite from headline writer-
in-residence to news editor. She
has been very pleased with the
improvements made on the news
paper this year, and hopes to con
tinue the upgrading process in the
coming year. Jeanne extends her
condolences to outgoing Salemite
editor, Fluvanna S. Engram, and
wishes nothing but the best for her
future, since she knows that old
editors never die . . . they just get
older and more conservative.
The new editors have a tough job
ahead of them: Salem’s standards
of communication improve more
each year, and it is the responsi
bility of the publications editors to
keep updating the forms of com
munication on campus, but all three
offer great promise as editors.
