-197:
College seniors preparing to
teach school may take the Na
tional Teacher Examinations on
any of the four different test dates
announced by Educational Testing
Service, a nonprofit, educational
organization which prepares and
administers this testing program.
New dates for the testing of
prospective teachers are: Novem
ber 10, 1973, and January 26,
April 6, and July 20, 1974. The
tests will be given at nearly 500
locations throughout the United
States, ETS said.
The Salemite ha.s been experiencing an economic up
heaval of its own with the same disastrous entanglements
presently found in the inflationary state of the country. In
the succession of staff members which occurs annually, un
familiarity with the proceedings of the previous stafl'
results. It is not perhaps the most efficient method for
organizing a college newspaper; but, the turnover of stu
dents leaving school and the addition of students in the
fall necessitates that the paper have a new staff each
academic year. Conseciuently, substantial debts may be
incurred by a pi-evious staff unknown to their inheritors.
Unfortunately, the present members of The Salemite staff
have found themselves in such a position.
As a result of last year’s overspending, the newspaper
is in debt to the college foi- the large sum of $869.00. This
debt must be paid immediately once appropriate funds are
obtained. Every yeai- the Student Government As.sociation
allocates $2,500.00 to The Salemite. This amount is the
I)aper’s share of the $49.00 fee collected from each student
at Registi-ation. Although this amount will cover the debt
owed to the college. The Salemite will be left operating on
two-thirds of the spending budget it has had in previous
years.
The college newspaper predictably counts on an addi
tional $2,200.00 pel’ year from advertisements and subscrip
tions. However, advertising revenue will decrease this year
with a reduction in the size of the newspaper itself. This
.vear the newspaper will be published in editions of four
pages instead of an eight jiage edition. At half the size
of last year’s imiier, we can subsequently expect half as
many ads jier week in the paper. As a standard procedure,
we do limit the amount of advertising space available in
the paper to 25' of the total column inches.
Even with the publication of a smaller newspaper, there
•still exists a struggle to continue the paper as a weekly.
■Newsprint, the actual paper on which the newspaper is
published, i.s cpiite scarce. Printing costs have gone up,
exemplary of the rising costs for services which the entire
country is experiencing.
In an eflort to conserve the quality of the newspaper
the stalf has adopted its own Phase IV. A change in format
has been approved. This year the newspaper will be publish
ed on glossy paper as opposed to newspi-int for the reasons
iuready mentioned. The printing company has been changed
to a cheapei- firm in Winston-Salem. The paper will be
tour pages in hopes that it can continue as a weekly. There
will be no syndicated copy such as “Campus Colloquy”
Intercollegiate Press SyndicaW
.ind the Alternative Features Service. The Salemite will be
completely a student newspaper, comprised of student
contributions for copy. Luuem
^ The business stalf has plans for several fund-raisinL^
piojects to help alleviate the financial situation. The staff
has also placed a petition before the Concessions Committee
toi a contribution to the newspaper. Money has been re
quested from the Symposium Committee to publish an issue
sec’om .seme.ster primarily composed of Symposium events
W l" ; P.-esident,s of othefcTubs
to discuss a contribution from those student organizations
on campus operating with a surplus. A Student Goveimmenl

Results of the National Teacher
Examinations are used by many
large school districts as one of
several factors in the selection of
new teachers and by several
states for certification or licensing
of teachers. Some colleges also
require all seniors preparing to
teach to take the examinations.
The school systems and state de
partments of education which use
the examination results are listed
in an NTE leaflet entitled Score
Users which may be obtained by
writing to ETS.
On each full day of testing,
prospective teachers may take the
Common Examinations which
measure their professional prep
aration and general educational
background and an Area Exami
nation which measures their mas
tery of the subject they expect
to teach.
Prospective teachers should con
tact the school systems in which
they seek employment, or their
colleges, for specific advice on
which examinations to take and
on which dates they should be
taken.
The Bulletin of Information for
Candidates contains a list of test
centers, and information about
the examinations, as well as a
Registration Form. Copies may
be obtained from college place
ment officers, school personnel
departments, or directly from

Editor’s Note: Mrs. Lucille Vest Scott, a professor
at Salem College for 36 years, passed away August
21 following surgery at Forsyth Hospital in Winston-
Salem. Mrs. Scott was a 1930 graduate of Salem
College. She held the M.A. degree in French and
Spanish from the University of North Carolina—
Chapel Hill. She was appointed an instructor in the
modern language department in 1936. The following
is a tribute to Mrs. Scott written by one of her
students.
What does one say in the wake of unexpected
death? The recent death of Lucile V. Scott was a
shock to ail who knew and loved her.
Mrs. Scott was a professor of the highest caliber.
She encouraged high goals of all her students and
was, herself, a fine example of one who was truly
devoted to her field.
“You give but little when you give of your
possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you
truly give”, writes Kahil Gibran in The Prophet.
Mrs. Scott gave kindness and understanding. She
radiated her affection for the Spanish language and
people, not only by sharing her knowledge and ex
perience in class, but even by inviting her students
into her home for festive Spanish cuisine.
Lucile V. Scott truly gave me so many intangible
aspects of herself that I shall always hold her
memory very carefully in my heart. I bow my head
in memory of a strong and gracious woman.
Con tristeza mas profunda,
Karen Johnson
