SGA Candidates Discuss Topical Issues at Salem
Continued from p. 9
stricted.
(4) President -- No, faculty-
advisory board, yes. The Presi
dent of a college’s job is not to
be “Big Daddy” to all the stu
dents. The SGA President’s ad
visor is the Dean of Women;
however the College President
should be involved as much as
time will allow.
(5) Yes, this is a vital link.
(6) Yes.
(7) Yes, Salem’s honor system
is valid. It is unique in that stu
dents are trusted to handle the
responsibilities of upholding
such a system.
(8) The honor system could be
made more effective by im
pressing upon the incoming
freshmen the importance of the
system, and by the upperclass
men setting good examples.
(9) I do not think they have
been handled too lightly. One
good thing about rule infractions
is that they are not made public.
(10) Yes - I think it is a good
idea that all “clubs” at Salem
are non-discriminatory and every
student is a member.
(11) No “ at least not for every
meal. I like homecooked meals,
not tablets from vending ma
chines. Cafeteria style eating
could work efficiently at Salem,
though if students would not
all come at the same time and
have to stand in line for an hour,
like we did on Feb. 12th.
(12) Yes, post the times it will
be open in a conspicuous place
so more students would be en
couraged to use it.
(13) Work through the Inter
club Council for communication.
(14) Yes, with the exception of
married day students.
(15) Make things more open to
students so that fewer rumors
will be fostered.
Treasurer of SGA
Barbara Perry
(1) No answer.
cases which have come to my
attention have been handled with
common sense, a must for any
subjective decision.
(10) IRS has rightly tried to ad
just the traditions of Salem to
the general wishes of the stu
dent body as a whole. It must
remain an organization for all
students, for without the sup
port of the students it would
be ineffective.
(11) I feel other options are
open to improve the refectory
food and service. A more active
student role in planning could
provide realistic improvements
in the menu. Allowing students
scholarship hours for working
for the refectory could add to
the amount of financial aid avail
able while letting Salem students
improve the general service.
(12) No answer.
(13) The calendar has been ef
fective in the past and reduced
general clutter by repetitious no
tices. Additional use of the news
paper as a club column, etc.
would also give students an es
tablished place for finding out
what clubs are doing.
(14) Any club open to all mem
bers of the student body that
interests a significant number of
students should be funded by
the SGA dues, as without this
financial support many clubs
could not function.
(15) The treasurers should let
students know when and where
their money is being spent in
stead of giving them a meaning
less figure. A concerted attempt
to find out what charges the
students would like to see in the
campus would let the students
being represented have a more
active role in the monetary af
fairs of the SGA. Enlisting the
students’ opinions in SGA deci
sion-making would also give the
student body a more valid parti
cipation in SGA affairs.

(2) The cost of adding a gyne
cologist to the staff could not
be fairly paid for by all students
since that service would not ap
ply to enough students. Family
planning service should be more
available to those students de
siring the service by personally
arranging for a local doctor to
serve students through referral
by Dr. Pennell. Transportation
could be made available through
the infirmary for all doctors’
appointments.
(3) No answer.
(4) Working with the adminis
tration and the faculty-advisory
board is obviously one of the ma
jor roles of SGA president.
(5) Yes.
(6) The successful working of
the faculty-advisory board is evi
denced by the conscientious at
tempts in obtaining all the stu
dents’ feelings about issues not
just the most vocal. They acted
quickly and favorably concern
ing the freshman overnight peti
tion.
(7) The honor system has been
successful in giving students a
flexible and common sense way
of handling exams, rules, etc.
(8) The rules protecting the
honor system must place enough
responsibility on the students so
that it remains supported by
honor and not spies or a myriad
of trivial rules.
(9) The fact that little is
known about whether the infrac
tions have been handled properly
shows that they have at least
been handled discretely. The
See above, under Chairman of
Interdorm.

(1) Salem is a small girls’
school with high academic stan
dards. The students are friendly
and have close relationships both
among themselves and with the
adminsitration. The school is sur
rounded by history and tradition
and is somewhat conservative,
but it is possible for students
to make changes in a peaceful
manner.
(2) If family planning facili
ties are available in Winston-Sa
lem, 1 don’t hink it is necessary
to have such facilities at Salem.
(3) I think the call down sys
tem is a good method for enforc
ing the rules. A student can get
more than one chance since she
has to break minor rules several
times before she is punished.
(4) Yes. The SGA president
should act as a spokesman for
the student body in order to
keep the President and the facul
ty advisory board informed of
student opinions and ideas.
(5) Yes. I don’t think that
changes should be made so ef
fectively as they are now if stu
dents had to work directly with
the administration.
(6) Yes. I think the faculty
advisory board has been success
ful in advising students over pe
titions and in telling the stu
dents the administration’s view
points.
(7) Salem’s honor system is
valid only if the students believe
in it and have a high respect for
Salem’s reputation as an honor
able school. I think most stu
dents have that respect.
(8) Our honor system could
bC’ made more effective if a stu
dent had the duty rather than
the right to turn in a person who
has broken the honor code. I
think the system is effective as
it stands now and I don’t think
this change is necessary or desir
able. I’m glad the student is
given a choice whether to turn
someone in or not.
(9) I can’t answer this ques
tion since I don’t know how
rule infractions have been han
dled. It’s not my business to
know how a person has been
punished for breaking a rule.
(10) IRS can encourage or dis
courage students to uphold Sa
lem’s honor and traditions, but
it is up to the students or the
student body as a whole to de
cide whether it will be done.
IRS and other clubs should con
tinue as organizations for all stu
dents as long as each student
pays those club fees.
(11) Right now I am opposed to
cafeteria food service since I
would hate waiting in line for
every meal and because I do not
believe the refectory is equipped
to handle cafeteria service. I also
think that family style service
makes Salem more like a home
and less like an institution. I
can’t make a definite opinion,
though, until we have had our
weekly trial cafeteria service.
(12) The book exchange should
be run more efficiently if it
were open longer and if books
that are no longer used were
put away or sold on a shelf
separated from the books in use.
(13) I think clubs should keep
each other informed in their pro
grams and projects and perhaps
work together in money-raising
projects.
(14) Yes, clubs cannot function
without money, and the easiest
way to raise the necessary mon
ey is for each student to pay a
small fraction of the total a-
mount. Think of all the money
raising projects we’d have on
campus if each club had to raise
its own money.
(15) Since the treasurer serves
in both legislative board and
executive boards I could make
any position more efficient by
first knowing students’ opinions
on various issues and then work
ing to bring about the necessary
changes.

Secretary of SGA
Sarah Tucker
(1) Salem College is a four
year liberal arts college for
girls. It offers a girl the oppor
tunity to learn in various aca
demic fields, the opportunity
to build life-long friendships,
and also the opportunity to be
come involved and to partici
pate to whatever degree she
would like.
(2) I believe that family plan
ning facilities should be made
available for anyone who needs
to use such services. However,
I do not think it would be vital
for Salem to have a family plan
ning facility on campus.
(3) I believe that the call-down
system is needed, but I also be
lieve that it is not fool-proof.
Until a better system can be de
vised, I think this one is best.
(4) I believe the SGA presi
dent should work very closely
with the president and the facul
ty advisory board. She is a
successfully - this is a necessity.
(5) Yes, I believe this board
does contribute greatly to an
improved relationship between
the students and faculty. I think
it is advantageous for the stu
dents to have such a board to
express their viewpoints, who
in turn, can clearly express these
views to the faculty.
(6) Yes, I believe that our
faculty advisory board does oper
ate successfully. I think that
both the faculty and the stu
dents consider this board impor
tant and useful in determining,
solving and meeting the various
needs of the college.
(7) Yes, I believe the Honor
System here at Salem is valid.
Each individual is trusted by
others and is expected at the
same time to fulfill that trust.
It is a 2-way system and needs
the support of the students and
faculty in order to fulfill its ex
pectations and duties.
(8) I believe that the honor
system is only as effective as we,
the students, who live under it
are. Therefore, in order to in
crease its effectiveness, we must
look at ourselves.
(9) I do not feel adequate to
answer this question. The pen
alties girls have received for vio
lations have been made known
only to those directly involved.
Because of this I would have
no basis for an answer.
(10) I believe IRS does play an
important role in upholding Sa
lem honor and traditions. It’s
purpose, as stated in the hand
book, does formulate an impor
tant part of life at Salem. I be
lieve that clubs such as IRS
should continue as an organiza
tion for all students at Salem.
(11) I, personally, wish that Sa
lem would keep the present fam
ily style service, and make
some improvements in the ser
vice. Not standing in line for
meals and the warm atmosphere
of family style meals are only a
few of the advantages for main
taining the present service.
(12) I do believe that the book
exchange could be run more
efficiently. I believe a larger
area is needed for the book ex
change, longer hours for it to
be open, and more organization
planned in advance.
(13) I believe clubs should work
together as closely as possible to
better communication here at
Salem. By working closely to
gether, I believe clubs can help
each other while at the same
time helping the Salem students
and faculty. If communication
improves, I believe participation
also will.
(14) I believe that this question
depends on how these fees will
be used and how much they are.
(15) I would like to see the po
sition of SGA secretary maintain
and promote communication a-
mong students, among students
and faculty, and among students
and the adminsitration. I would
also like to support the other of
ficers of SGA in any way possi
ble.

(1) Salem is what you make
it. Be excited and be involved,
and you will love it.
(2) I do not believe that full
time family planning facilities
are needed at Salem. Although
family planning is an essential
part of 20th century life, I feel
that only a few students would
(3) In a small college commu-
nity such as Salem, it is neces-
sary to have some discipline
method for minor offenses and
to remind students of their re-
sponsibility to others. The call-
down system is neither perfect
nor completely effective, but it
still seems to be the best system
for our needs.
(4) The SGA President is sup.
posed to represent the student
body’s opinions. She should
work closely with the President
and the faculty-advisory board
and express to them the feelings
of Salem students.
(5) A faculty-advisory board is
needed as a link between stu
dents and adminsitration. Mem
bers of the board should be re
sponsive to the needs and de
sires of students.
(6) When used, the faculty-
advisory board operates success
fully. The board is not used of
ten enough, because students do
not realize or forget that it is our
best source of communication
with the administration.
(7) I consider Salem’s honor
system valid. I believe that the
majority of students respect the
honor code and adhere to it.
(8) I think that our honor sys
tem is effective as it now stands.
(9) I know very little about
rule infractions committed this
year. Therefore, I do not feel
that I am qualified to judge their
handling.
(10) 11^, and all clubs, share
the responsibility of upholding
Salem’s honor and traditions. I
also believe that all students
should be members of all these
clubs. There is always a possih
lity in a small college communi
ty that the clubs will become too
cliquish. By having the objectives
of each club benefit the whole
Salem student body, this possi
bility is lessened.
(11) The major complaints a-
bout food service at Salem con
cern the quality of food and hav
ing to pay for meals you dont
eat. I personally prefer family-
style meals, but if cafeteria ser
vice would provide solutions to
these problems. I would be iJ
favor of it.
(12) I know very little about
the way the book exchange is
run. A more central locatiort,
posted lists of resalable text
books, and announced hours o
might improve its
operation,
service.
(13) All clubs should work to
gether. With interclub cooperS'
tion, many joint projects an
programs could be sponsored,
thus increasing the number o
activities on campus.
(14) As long as all students art
members of the clubs, an
long as the club projects are
the benefit of the entire stride |
body, club fees should e
eluded in SGA fees.
