Thursday, September 27, 1973 Repairs Improve Safety on Campus Jim Jefferson, Salem’s new superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, has supervised several improvements on campus during the summer. He has made ob vious innovations in three dormi tories; by installing hall carpet in Babcock, all new bathroom fix tures in Clewell, and complete rewiring in Bitting Dormitory. According to Mr. Place, the Bitting wiring had become so faulty as to be a fire hazard. While rewiring, workers also in stalled lights in stairwells to in crease the safety features of the dorm. In addition to these changes, the college has spent over two thousand dollars on reupholstering worn furniture, and it has done extensive work on the under ground heating system, in order to increase its efficiency at a lower cost. Mr. Place has listed several other improvements: • Closets are being installed in the newly-converted dormitory rooms in Gramley. • The exterior woodwork of South and Gramley Dormitories, and of the President’s office, has been repainted. • The rooms of Babcock and Clewell Dormitories have been re painted. • The exhibit area (that is the foyer) of the FAC has been re painted. • The Strong Dormitory base ment and recreation room has new flooring. • The Language Laboratory has been moved to second floor of Main Hall, nearer to the for eign language department. • A permanent counter has been installed in the Office of the Registrar. Changes to be made within the next year or two include ren ovations in Sister’s Dormitory (with as little change to original appearance as possible!); and the tearing down of the Mock House, to allow for the reconstruction of the original “Pleasure Grounds of Salem Female Academy.” Art Show at Davidson A unique presentation, for one day only, of old master, modern master, and contemporary prints will take place, Wednesday, Oc tober 3, 1973 from 10-4 p.m. in The Cunningham Fine Arts Build ing of Davidson College. The public is invited to view this fine collection of graphics from the Lakeside Studio of Lake side, Michigan and to meet their director, Mr. John Wilson. All works displayed are available for purchase and range in price from $10.00 to $4,500.00. The work to be exhibited here (valued at over $100,000) contains prints by such artists as Durer, Callot, Rouault, Picasso, Baskin, Antreasian, Tobey, Peterdi, Hay- ter, and many others including Laura Grosch and Herb Jackson of North Carolina. The Lakeside Studio, housed in a beautiful old rambling hotel with 600 feet of beach on Lake Michigan and surrounded by five acres of trees of many varieties, is becoming one of the centers for printmaking in the United States and was mentioned in an article about print workshops in this fall’s issue of Art In America. The Lakeside Studio workshop re ceived a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts this past year. Twenty-five major museums both in the United States and Europe receive special editions which are printed only for these collections. The workshop staff consists of three master printers who print nearly fifty editions each year using their own facilities, those of Landfall Press in Chicago and Fox Graphics in Boston. TH* SALtMIT* Page Three Library Renovation Nears Completion To Impeaeh the President: Which Way Is the Right Way By Stewart Taylor When Mr. Werner, Salem’s new librarian, first came for his inter view last year his impression was “Salem College needs me!” The present state of the library re flects a lot of work, though things are moving more slowly now. The major part of the construction is finished and in about two weeks the shelves will be erected. The electrical fixtures need to be in stalled; then the carpet can be laid. The final touches will be painting and adding the vinyl base around the wall. Most of the “dirty work” has been done; and by mid-October the library should be visibly completed. New rooms have been added, old ones destroyed; therefore, some books are in entirely new areas. These shelving areas are also able to be used for study. In fact, .even though there are no designated study rooms, as in the old building, there is actually more room to study. Scattered around the stacks are study cubi- Stepping up to a new look in studying, as the library nears completion. cles; and the third floor contains semi-lounge chairs to insure “comfort while learning.” The typing room will have two places for typewriters, while the Brows ing Room, Main Reading Room, and Periodical Reading Room wilt all be available for studying. In most of the rooms the decor remains old Moravian, although the Night Study Room will sport modern furniture. Herman Miller, the designer of the new interior, centers the color scheme around red, white, and green. The 24-hour study period plan is in a nebulous stage at this time. Two technical reasons for no direct plans are 1) all the furni ture for this room has not yet arrived and 2) no glass has ar rived for the interior walls. Mr. Werner plans to meet with the SGA to work out details for the Night Study Room, one main concern being the security mea sures needed to make study all night possible there. Students at Salem have a lot to be proud of in their new library. Everyone should use it and offer suggestions by speaking to Mr. Werner or Mrs. Taylor, or by using the suggestion box. If there are collections of books or types of books you would like to see — speak out! Attention!!

Distr. by Puzzles, Inc. No. 110 By Vickie Moir For over a hundred and eighty years the Constitution has desig nated the power to impeach the President to the Senate alone. While the current impeachment process has its positive points, a system by which a simple ma jority vote of the Senate requires the President to run against an opposing party candidate as in a scheduled election would be more workable. The present system has its good points as previously con ceded. The process provides for turnovers in the executive posi tion without disruption or chaos. The proposed alternative could serve, however, as just as smooth a vehicle by which to institute a change in office. The second and possibly the strongest argument for the status quo is that the complexity in volved in impeaching a President gives authority and credibility to the office of the presidency in the eyes of the world. This factor, however, can be turned into one of the strongest arguments against the current process. An administration can take too much power and come to feel too inde pendent of the American people. The proposed alternative makes the President more directly an swerable to the American people. James Naughton’s article in the Winston-Salem Journal on Sep tember 17, 1973 reported Senator Mondale’s suggestion that a com mittee be formed to find ways to insure that the President is ‘ “open and accountable to the American people and the Con- Mr. Youii^ Improves Food By Eflie Little Mr. Ted Young the head of our new food service is ready to do anything to make Salem girls happy. He is one of the three owners of the Epicure Manage ment Service which is currently servicing seven schools. Before coming to Salem, Mr. Young was setting up the food service for Epicure Management at Limestone College. He was with the Saga Food Service prior to becoming an owner of Epicure Management Service. While work ing with Saga, he hired manage ment for the company, running food service units across the country. He travelled from Maine to Arizona, and so did his wife. They have lived in nine different places in their eight years of marriage. The Youngs have two children, Steven, age seven; and Scott, age twenty-one months. Mr. Young feels Salem is a unique place — having both tradi tion and new freedoms. He has found a concerned student body, aware of rising food prices and the problem of wasted surplus food. Such student concern makes Mr. Young strive even harder. But with his fine staff and the invaluable aid of Mrs. Duncan, he feels he can do a good job. Most Salem students will vouch for the noticeable improvements in re fectory food since the arrival of Mr. Young. gress.” ’ The proposed process protects the presidency through a rather insularly impeachment process, but it protects the office to a more reasonable limit. Under the status quo there are several inhibiting factors to reck on with when seeking an impeach ment. One of these factors is that party loyalty could make a two- thirds majority difficult to get, even with sufficient grounds for impeachment. A second very in hibiting factor is that a President has never been impeached. There has been only one serious attempt at impeachment. These inhibiting factors contribute to the reasons for the Senate’s failing to serve as a sufficient check on the powers of the presidency. De ciding to return the choice of who is to be President to the voters is, however, much less of a re sponsibility than deciding to im peach a President. The proposed system is there fore more likely to be utilized if necessary. The revised method is also fair to the President, for he would have to be voted out two times instead of one to be re moved from office. After considering the two dis cussed methods of impeachment, the process under which a simple majority vote of the Senate re turns the problem of choosing a President to the voters seems preferable to the present ap proach. Though the currently used method has several positive fea tures, the proposed alternative has these features plus several others that make it a much more workable check on the presidency. Ted Young takes time out for a phone call to order more food for the refectory. Eva Sereghy ready to help and willing to listen — our new assist ant Dean. Dean’s Assistant Likes Her Jol) By Cindy Greever Assistant Feature Editor There’s a new face in Dean Somerville’s office this fall. Al though she looks like a student, she’s not here for help but to give help. Her intelligence, poise and charm make evident her willing ness to do so, as Ms. Eva Sereghy takes up her work as Assistant to the Academic Dean. A Danforth Fellow working to ward a Ph.D. at Duke University in religion and culture and an M.A. candidate at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in English literature, Ms. Sereghy has taken a year’s leave of ab sence from her graduate studies. Before joining the staff of Salem, she worked as a consultant on drug abuse prevention and a high school teacher in her native Tarrytown, N. Y. Her new ad ministrative responsibilities relate to January programming, study programs abroad, advising fresh men and academic counseling in general. Ms. Sereghy has a very positive feeling about Salem although she says it’s too early to give specific impressions. Glad that the stu dents are back on campus, Ms. Sereghy is “eager to meet as many students and members of the community as possible.”
