Page Two 200th Anniversary - What Does It Mean To You? Well, the big news on campus this year is the Bicentennial cele bration. We've all been hearing about the plans with plenty of enthusiasm and some gripes too. The loudest complaint seems to be about money and who gets it. One question that comes to mind is who exactly is to benefit from the anniversary? From listening to the committee plans it some times seems that the major point to all of the work is to make Salem more well-known. Granted, it will help the students in the long run if when we say, "1 graduated from Salem College;" people do not say, "Where is that?" But is there more to the Bicentennial than that? Dr Chandler feels that the planning must involve and interest the students, the people in the Winston-Salem area and national and international concerns. Is that the direction that the plans are taking? There is a lot of question about where our priorities are. Of course there is a limited amount of money. How do you decide where it goes? It may be true that people will donate money for music more readily than anything else, but if so, is it right that the music de^ partment should get so much and the art department so little? What about the other departments? Which is more important to us - a worthwhile, well known speaker or a big weekend? There is a Finance Committee with student members that is sup posed to make these decisions. This committee has never met. It is supposed to meet in the near future. Student members are Catherine Cooper and Sarah Dorrier. If you have any ideas or opinions, tell them. Since we, the student body, are to be the force behind the cele bration, why don't we make our wishes known? We need to de cide what is important to us. THE SALEMITE ArKOUKCENIENTS The Faculty will have a picnic on Monday, October 4, at Tangle- wood Park from 4:30-11:00 p.m. All faculty members are invited to come and bring their families to get to gether and meet the Chandlers! Tryouts for the Pierrettes’ one- act plays will be October 6 (the day after Founders’ Day), 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Drama Workshop! Think about it. Interested In A Big Voter Registration Raily?

To the' Editor of The Salemite, Salem College THE MAGIC SEVEN, cum grano sails Cassiodivae: But what say thee of grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music ? Are these not the seven pillars from which each of our students will be building her house ? Isidore: There can be no doubt of the value of secular studies as pre paration for truly higher studies. I move that we acclaim the sanctity of these seven for now and ever more. Contrarius: Well, let us not forget the saying—seven come eleven! I suggest that we ... . Cassiodivae : For the last time, Con trarius, I am warning you to con tribute to the solution — not the problem. Hearing no further ob- jectio'.i, the seven are hereby sancti fied. Now, we must proceed with the policies on accepting students. Contrarius: I suggest that we give all faculty members an elaborate series of examinations in each of the sanctified seven areas and send the results to any prospective stu dent so that she can evaluate them and decide whether or not she wants to associate with such a faculty and .... Cassiodivae: With the exception of saying that you are putting the chariot one-hundred finger-breadths in front of the horse, I shall ignore that comment. Isidore, we shall publish a papyralog that lists the requirements for admission in each of the critical areas of study. Isidore : That is magnificient Cassio, sweetheart, but what shall we do in regard to certain technical areas of competence, such as penmanship ? Cassiodivae: Oh, you do ask pene trating questions, Isi baby. We clearly cannot require good pen manship for admission. I suggest that we insert a footnote in the papyralog that says it would be nice if the potential student were competent in regard to this tech nical skill. Contrarius: I can see it now: Ger- trudaria appears on the Square and Editor-in-Chief EDITORIAL STAFF Associate Editor . - — Cori Pasquier Managing Editor - Laurie Daltroff News Editor Chris Verrastro Assistant News Clark Kitchen Feature Editor Chris Moran Assistant Feature Dee Wilson Copy Editor —Anna Burgwyn Cartoonist - Marcia McDade Photography Editor Beth Wilson Roving Photographer — Billie Everhart Jeanne Patterson BUSINESS STAFF Business Manager Lynn Bode Advertising Manager Margaret Brinkley Circulation Manager Pat Terry Mailing Manager Beth Duncan Head Typist Kathy Bacon Published by Students of Salem College Printed by the Sun Printing Company Subscription Price $4.60 a year Member U. S. Student Press Association Friday, October 1, 1971 20Cth Fund Allocations MEMO; To Committee Chairmen of 200th Anniversary FROM; Esther Mock, Coordinator RE- Budget for Bicentennial Following the think-big directive, budget requests as of May, 1971, came to o totc,| of $73,925. , , , This figure does not include the budget tor the Conference on Education or the Czeth Festival, which ore to be funded separately. Many excellent ideas and suggestions came forth via the unrestricted system of p|(„, ning, and it is to be hoped that many of these plans can be implemented on a |es’ expensive basis. Realistically, the total figure that possibly can be raised is probably about $25,000 so, in order to moke the cutting os acceptable as possible, the requests and" the rationale in the paring are reported as follows; ^ allocated Academy Alumnae Committee no special funds « 00 Academy Dedication Committee $1000 Note; Request was for speaker for Independent Schools Conference. Also it ■ hoped that the item of $450 for music for the dedication (on Music" Com mittee budget) could be at Mast shared by the Dedication Committee Art Committee delayed request Note; There may also be $500 allocated by the Salem College, Alumnae Asso elation for exhibits, as in past years. Assembly/Lecture Committee no special funds College Alumnae Committee no special funds Note; Alumnae Association is giving $7,500 toward printing of history, and $1,000 for symposium. Drama Committee 00 00 $300 $300 Advisor Mrs. J. W. Edwards announces to the faculty, “I am filled with excitement and potential, but I must confess that, as you de fine it, in lower lower school I was not a nice girl!’’ Cassiodivae: If you were not my cousin, Contrarius, I would banish you to my favorite tourist trap— Corfu. I should certainly hope that we would not get bogged down on this issue. Granted that tech nical competence in, for example, penmanship, could affect the per formance of a student in all of the important sanctified seven areas, we should make available, if at all reasonable and possible, work in this technical area to a limited de gree. At the same time, however, and much more important, we must see that excellence truly character izes our fundamental raison d’etre. And while some will criticize, most will be too busy in and turned on by their own special areas of in terest, realizing that education is often very personal and that one magic road for everyone simply does not exist. Are there other matters for discussion ? Contrarius: Yes, I would like to discuss the idea that the main func tion of any professor is in making his role as traditionally defined— useless. Cassiodivae: Well, Contrarius, for a change you are absolutely correct, but there isn’t time to pursue this adequately today. Let us meet in the morning to discuss this import ant issue. Lovingly, James W. Edwards Policy for letters to the editor: It has been and will remain the policy of The Sa'emite Staff to print only signed letters to the edi tor. Also, The Salemite can print only letters received before Tuesday at 6:30 for the following Friday issue. Flistory Committee $10,000 oj Note; The College will absorb the cost for the history on a three-year basis. Music Committee $13,450 J8,000 Note: The Music Committee had items for both dedication music and concerts for April Arts. Their budget also includes music for the Symphony Concert, the annual meeting of the N. C. Music Teachers, and one important work for the 200th anniversary. Publicity Committee $9,425 $8,000 Note: The cut means less assistance in the 200th anniversary office and no copy of the documentary film. Special Events Committee $1,500 $1,000 Note: Requested for Fall '12 Political Symposium Requests from Student Organizations Because student organizations have some funds available through student fees, and because 200th anniversary funds are necessarily limited, the allocation is made only for what seems to be impossible to do without increased funds, and what many stu* dents expressed as "first choice" for the most rewarding and fullest student partici* pation. It is hoped that working together we can figure out ways to do many of the suggestions offered by students. April Arts & IRS $15,000 $5,000 Note: A combined request was made for nationally known entertainers. It h hoped this is made possible on some acceptable scale. Also, Mr. Roger Hll of NCSA, who has extensive connections with entertainers through recording companies has promised to try to help arrange for big-time at less cost. April Arts $2,000 $500 Requested for traveling folk singers, guest speakers, craft seminars, pub licity. Also a request from April Arts appears as a $1,500 item on Music Committee budget for concerts during the last week in April. For the very interesting craft seminar idea it should be noted that Old Salem has ex pressed an interest In doing something special for the 200th and this might be a good possibility. Note; IRS Note: $4,000 ^ There is no question of the importance of BIG name intertainment for pre sent and prospective students. However, there is the question of what funds can be raised. Since IRS has a $6,000 budget perhaps something of the im- pact weekend hoped for con be worked out. IRC 00 no definite request Note; IRC submitted o special event request for o political day in the Spring v/il" presidential candidates and for extensive financial assistance. Salemite and Incunabula $250 Note: It is hoped that the bicentennial will be of sufficient interest to rate o special edition in the regular publication. Senior, Junior, Sophomore & Freshman Classes $14,000 . Note: The Senior Class suggestions for a big parents weekend, while beyond t * financial capability of the bicentennial funds, should receive every posf * encouragement. Many schools who provide the kind of entertainment su9' gested In the request charge the parents who attend. It is possible t a student entertainment might be even more appealing than big bands, on that each class could entertain parents on campus on different wee * during the bicentennial. Sights & Insights ^ $2f000 / h ■ q n Note: The request for 16 extra color pages seems to be based on color's chief factor in quality. It is hoped that a yearbook of the 200th year be impressive even in black and white. Perhaps assistance can be given other ways. Symposium Committee No special request ^ Uudfld Note: As an on going event. Symposium Committee voted to maintain the as would be available in the future years. Y Challenge Week jjj $500 Note: No purpose of the request was submitted. Totals j-xg $73,925 '
