one of my most enlightening ex
periences. Just by talking and
even more important listening the
world becomes a far more inter
esting place.
Everyone can benefit by learn
ing and growing together in all
club activities. We all need to
realize there is a world beyond
our own personal one.

VICKIE MOIR
If elected president of Salem
Forum, I will continue with much
the same types of programs and
activities. Having attended regu
larly this year’s meetings, I
know the programs have been
entertaining and educational. I
plan also to encourage participa
tion in next year’s model U.N.
While we are being represented
this year, hopefully, we will be
able to involve even a larger
number next year. The experi
ence I gain from attending the
model U.N. in April should help
me to encourage and advise those
interested next year. Having ex
perienced at the International
Summer School in Oslo the in
sight gained from contact with
people of other cultures, I hope
to carry through on an idea pro
posed this year; some activity
involving our own foreign stu
dents, those of nearby colleges,
and interested Salemites. Though
keeping most of the same objec
tives, I hope that by making our
activities better known we can in
volve more people.
As for the Forum’s relation
ship to other activities, I will en
courage her past role in sponsor
ing and supporting traditional ac
tivities. Since budget organiza
tions are open to and seek to
serve all students, I feel club fees
should remain a part of SGA
dues. I believe that through meet
ings at which all organizations
are represented, the clubs can
work together efficiently on week
end activities, speakers, and
other areas of general concern.
FITS CHAIRMAN
can be a huge success and with
the good times the upperclassmen
have shown us, it is already well
on its way.
GINGER HARRIS
I’m Ginger Harris and I’m
running for FITS Chairman. This
job entails a lot of responsibility
and must be run efficiently. For
Founder’s Day and FITS Week
to run smoothly they must be run
efficiently. Preparation for these
events must begin as soon as the
FITS Chairman is elected. This
will relieve a lot of pressure in
the fall — people will already
know what to do. More students
must be involved! We have stu
dents willing to work but no one
asks them — I would ask for their
help on committees. This would
not only involve more students
but spread the responsibility —
responsibility yields efficiency.
I want to keep Salem’s tradi
tions alive as well as revive some
older ones like May Day. People
used to enjoy this event and I see
no reason why they can’t enjoy
it now. The only changes in the
office of FITS Chairman I propose
is to begin preparing for the next
Founder’s Day this spring. Thus
Founder’s Day will be less pushed
and more enjoyable. I would work
extremely hard to make FITS
Week the best week in each
Freshman’s year. I would also
strive to involve more people in
more things. Thank you for your
support.
man year at Salem. Two of the
best ways of doing this are
Founder’s Day and FITS Weel^
Therefore, participation in both
by the entire student body is ex
tremely important.
As FITS Chairman, I would do
my best to motivate everyone to
take a more active part in
Founder’s Day, promoting spirit
far in advance of the actual day,
and thus making Founder’s Day
fun for everyone, not just a few.
My goals for FITS Week are es
sentially the same. Each activity
should be purposeful, not merely
designed to use up time.
I feel that it is important to
retain traditions. They help new
students feel a part of the “Salem
way of life”. They contribute to
making Salem what it is and will
be valued memories as we some
day remember what Salem was.
As I see it, the system of in
cluding club fees in SGA fees is
the surest way for clubs to obtain
the money needed to function.
Under the present system stu
dents can feel they have con
tributed to each club even if they
cannot attend regular meetings.
To improve communication be
tween clubs and on campus, a
news sheet could be printed at 2-3
week intervals giving some news
item about each club. Other
campus and class news could also
be included. Copies of the large
Refectory Calendar could be
placed in each dorm to remind
students of monthly activities.

MICKIE WEBB
I do not want to start off saying
“if elected I promise to do the
job to the best of my ability”,
because I think every candidate
promises this or otherwise she
would not be running. The one
thing I do promise is to perform
my job efficiently. As to the
question “How can I make my
position more efficient?”, it would
be hard to answer. I only hope
that I could be as efficient as
Kern Mims was. I am sure she
KITTY GALLAGHER
Having and getting to know
your FITS big sister — remem
bering names — participating in
a pie eating contest on Founder’s
Day — all of these are fantastic
memories of FITS. Lost, befud
dled and frantic, the freshman
class arrives on the scene here
at Salem C. Trying to organize
a group such as this would be
quite a job for anyone to handle,
but I feel I could create a spirit
worthy of all involved.
FITS week and Founder’s Day
are two Salem traditions which I
believe should continue to be a
major part of our environment.
“Freshman Introduction to
Salem” renders high spirits and
participation for all, provided it
is organized efficiently. I would
do my best to involve everyone
by attaining ideas and opinions
concerning both events. After all,
first impressions are the most im
portant and the class of ’78 should
be given a great outlook on their
upcoming four years as a part of
Salem. I feel sure that FITS ’74

started planning early, kept
things well organized, and gave
everyone a chance to get involved.
That is what I plan to do if
elected — start planning early,
keep things well organized, and
get everyone involved; and I am
sure if I get the kind of coopera
tion that I am sure Kern got,
then I have no doubts that I will
function efficiently.
In regards to the question,
“How would I involve more stu
dents in the organization of
which I’m running?”, I would
have to answer that I do not
think that there would be many
more ways to involve Salem stu
dents in FITS. FITS is not only
Freshman Introduction To Salem,
but it is also Founder’s Day, and
it is pretty evident that everyone
is a part of Founder’s Day. If
everyone was not a part of
Founder’s Day then it just
wouldn’t be.
If elected FITS Chairman I
would retain many of the tradi
tions present on our campus that
pertain to the office; but I would
also change a few if that is what
the majority of the student body
desires. My decision will not be
all mine. I will be working for
the student body and I will try to
do the things most desired by the
majority of the students! Whether
I agree or not.
As far as club fees are con
cerned, I do think they should be
included in SGA fees for the
simple reason that the clubs are
for the students and the students
are the SGA. Both involve and
work for the same people, there
fore their fees should be included
as one.
