WELCOME FRESHMEN,

RnURNING SALEMITES
So here you are at Salem. By
the time Opening Convocation rolls
around this afternoon you should
feel sufficiently briefed to face
a new semester of college .work.
The academic side of life at Salem
is important. Your teachers want
you to find excitement in learning.
It is their job to offer you intel
lectual challenges and to guide you
as you grow academically. But
teaching is a two-way process, and
you as a student have the obliga
tion to respond conscientiously to
these challenges.
Another important feature of
higher education small college style
is the emphasis on participation in
all phases of community life.
Extra-curricular activities give stu
dents an opportunity to be active,
first-class sitizens of their college
community. The purpose of Club
Carnival is to show freshmen that
organizations at Salem are not ex
clusive—in fact they depend on us
all. to supply the new ideas and
fresh interests necessary to make
them an effective part of campus
life. A dose of that “freshman
spirit” is good for any organiza
tion.
As you begin your new semester
at Salem, remember that Salem
offers you the opportunity to grow
.in many areas. To paraphrase the
Pepsi-Cola line, “You’ve got a lot
to live, and Salem’s got a lot to
give!” Your tea,chers and your fel
low students hope that you will
take what Salem has to offer, and
that it will not be long before you
are giving in return.

SALEM JUNIOR SNATCHES
OLYMPIC GOLD
Janie Barkman, who dropped
from sight last semester, has made
her postponed academics pay off.
This spunky Pennsylvanian, who
tansferred to Salem after her fresh
man year, dropped out of Salem
for a semester in order to concen
trate on her training for the
Olympic trials in swimming. Janie
participated in the 1968 Olympics
at Mexico City and won a gold
medal for the 400 meter relay and
a bronze medal for the 200 meter
freestyle...
Janie qualified at this year’s trials
and went to Munich with the other
three members of the 400 meter
relay team, where they swam to
first place. Janie is one of the tri
captains and swam the third heat
of the relay, passing her quick
East German opponent. Her speed
allowed Shirley Babashov, the USA
fourth-heat swimmer to maintain
her lead and win the race. During
the USA national anthem Janie
alternated between crying and laugh
ing, but her dimpled smile never
flickered. Obviously her hard work
and sacrifice were demonstrated in
her super-human effort on behalf
of the United States.
Janie will return to Salem Sep
tember 13 and undoubtedly will
have many exciting stories to share
with her classmates.
Congratulations Janie!
