(9) I feel that rule infractions
have been handled very fairly
this year. _ , , ,
(10) IRS has an important role
and should continue as an or
ganization for all students.
(11) I believe switching to cafe
teria food service would take
away from the closeness that
comes with family style.
(12) No answer.
(13) Unless there is communi-
cation between clubs there is
less efficiency in the entire oper
ation. Every club should be o-
biiged to communicate to other
clubs and the student body.
(14) Yes - the clubs need a
budget and if they are forced
to get money on a voluntary ba
sis it would be difficult to do
the things that should be done.
(15) Objectivity and fairness are
very important in the position
of honor council representative.
Only in this way could I hope to
be more efficient.
Beverly Leonard
(1) Salem is a beautiful cam
pus. The girls are close and with
out the size of the school being
too small, everyone knows every
body else. The atmosphere is
one of trust and concern for one
another. It is great.
(2) If students feel a need for
family planning facilities on cam
pus then service should be pro
vided.
(3) The call-down system is
not the most perfect system.
However there needs to be some
type of restriction of this sort
and until a better system is de
vised; call-downs should contin
ued to be given.
(4) Yes - the SGA president
is elected to represent the stu
dents and should be able to ex
press the opinions of the stu
dents to the administration
Likewise she will be able to re
lay the opinions of the adminis
tration back to the student.
(5) Yes.
(6) Yes.
(7) Yes - and it will con
tinue to be valid as long as the
students respect it. Too many
students take the honor code for
granted and this lack of concern
will jeopardize the system.
(8) The honor system could be
made more effective if the stu-
SALtMlTt
Explain Answers to Questions
dents become more aware of its
full meaning and try to carry
out its purpose.
(9) I am not qualified to an
swer this question. Restrictions
administered by the council
should be kept confidential and
not discussed outside the coun
cil.
(10) No. IRS should not con
tinue as an organization for all
the students. Too many students
have not participated in IRS acti
vities because of lack of interest. ,
Clubs should be made up of only
interested students.
(11) No. It is so nice to be able
to sit down to a meal that is al
ready on the table, Salem is not
equipped for cafeteria facilities.
(12) Yes, if possible a bigger
room and more shelves should
be provided so that all books can
be displayed.
(13) Clubs should have open
communication to discuss acti
vities and evaluate projects for
the best interest of the students.
(14) No. A student shouldn’t
have to pay dues to an organi
zation she isn’t interested in and
has no intention of participating
in.
(15) To this question I can only
say that I will do my best to pre
form the duties of Honor Coun
cil and uphold the code of the
Honor tradition.
Freshman Honor Rep.
Scottie Boardman
(1) I would describe Salem to
an outsider as a 4-year liberal
arts college with many activities
and opportunities for women.
At Salem, each girl is encouraged
to participate in all activities.
(2) Because of Salem’s size, I
would say that I am opposed to
a family planning facility; also,
there would be an increase in
tuition.
(3) I feel that the call-down
system, as a whole, is satisfac
tory. There are a few penalties
that I feel should not be given
call-downs though.
(4) Yes, definitely. With the
SGA president working closely,
there would be a strong relation
ship between the students, facul
ty and administration.
(5) Yes; this also encourages
good communication between
faculty and administration.
(6) I am afraid that I do not
know much about the faculty-
advisory board, but I feel that
they do a fair job; they seem to
think about all petitions care
fully, as in the case of intervis
itation.
(7) Salem’s honor system
seems to be the subject for much
question and, for the most part,
I feel it is respected. I think
more clarification could be given
to the students on the honor
and system.
(8) As I said above, I feel clari
fication to students about honor
would help; especially concern
ing exams, tests and SDH privi
leges.
(9) I feel the rules that I know
of have been handled fairly.
(10) IRS is a great social func
tion for Salem and provides
many activities for students in
all areas. I do not see how it up
holds honor, though. I definite
ly feel it should continue as a
Salem tradition.
(11) I feel cafeteria food ser
vice is appropriate for breakfast
and lunch, but I think dinner
should continue being family
style.
(12) The book exchange could
be run more effectively with
more space and more people
mnning it.
(13) The clubs should work to
gether and strengthen relations
between clubs. This could pro
vide for more participation from
students.
(14) I feel club fees should be
included in SGA fees because
this would insure clubs getting
funds. Also, this allows the vari
ous functions and activities the
clubs put on.
(15) I feel that, if elected, I
could make my position more
efficient by clarifying the honor
system, and making clear all rules
for exams, SDH, plagiarism, etc.
I hope that the honor system
will become a very trusted and
honored system.
Kathy Gideon
(1) It is a small school; it is a
woman’s college with a great
deal of tradition interwoven in
to the academic atmosphere
which give it a unique and ap
pealing difference from other
schools. It has an excellent mu
sic department and a fine science
department.
(2) Not particularly.
(3) I believe that it is a good
system which places the respon-
sibihty of proper equality on all
the students equally.
(4) I think that she should at
all times be aware of their opin
ions and motivations and that
the President and the advisory
board should be kept informed
of student activities and opin
ions. I believe that the SGA pres
ident should be free to act in re
sponse to the wishes of the stu
dent body, however, within the
framework of the constitution.
(5) Yes.
(6) I don’t really know enough
about its operations, to make a
fair comment.
(7) Yes as long as the students
continue to make it so.
(8) I don’t believe it can be
cause it depends entirely upon
the attitude of the student.
(9) The infractions I have
known of have been handled
fairly in my opinion.
(10) Yes; yes.
(11) No, it seems that the fami
ly style provides an open and
somewhat more relaxing and
friendly atmosphere.
(12) No answer.
(13) To co-ordinate certain pro
grams that could or should be
connected, to make them more
effective in including more stu
dents at one time.
(14) Yes - but perhaps they
could be reduced if students
could indicate a section which
they would probably consider
being active and having money
distributed among those clubs.
(15) I don’t know if I can, but
I would try and be sure that I
was familiar with the opinions
and feelings of my classmates on
general issues so that I could
examine my own judgements to
see if they are reasonable and
fair and not narrow-minded in
their scope.
Lucy Rose
(1) Salem is a beautiful school
with excellent opportunities for
leadership and academic develop
ment.
(2) I am in favor of it if e-
nough students desire one. How
ever, I feel it may not be ex
tremely necessary at a college
the size of Salem.
(3) 1 feel that it is necessary to
have penalities of some kind for
rules infractions in order to pro-
Page 13
tect the general welfare of each
girl at Salem. Though this system
is far from perfect, we must up
hold it until a better system is
found.
(4) Yes - the SGA president
is a vital link between the stu
dent and the administration. (In
many cases she is the only voice
we have.)
(5) Yes.
(6) Yes - The members are
extremely conscientious and ap
pear to want the very best pos
sible for each student at Salem.
(7) The honor system is only
as valid as we allow it to be. I
feel that there is a definite lack
of sense of responsibility to fol
low our honor system. We, as
students, need to realize that
such a system is necessary not
only for the good of the entire
student body, but also for the
growth of the individual.
(8) I feel it can only be made
more effective if the stu
dents desire. Maybe we could
work toward impressing a greater
sense of responsibility.
(9) This question is difficult
to answer because in most cases
major rule infractions have been
kept quiet. This is one of the
beauties of Salem College.
There are some exceptions, of
course, but I do not think the
minor infractions have been
handled too harshly.
(10) I don’t feel it plays much
of a role in upholding honor
and tradition.
(11) No - I think family style
meals at Salem provides a good
atmosphere for the students and
allows us to eat at a ncie pace. I
also think we do not have the
proper facilities.
(12) Yes - I think a bigger
room and more shelves are
needed. A better system of cate
gorizing is needed.
(13) Clubs could work together
to the fullest extent in order to
keep the student body informed
of £dl activities.
(14) Only if the clubs are made
to better represent all the stu
dents. I think many students feel
they are wasting their money be
cause they don’t appear to be
reaping the benefits.
(15) I will work my hardest to
uphold the honor system at Sa
lem and live up to what 1 con
ceive it to be.
