The course schedule of those courses listed in the fall and spring of 1974-1975 needs to be renovated! In the English department, two of the mandatory courses for English majors are offered in the fall, only two m the spring. The history department has listed several fantastic courses for the fall — and these are not offered again m the spring. Is there not some way to split up the monopoly ot the fall courses? Students want to take all these courses and the time factor will not allow them to do so. Both histories mentioned above are filled, with waiting lists. Now I realize that the teachers do have a limit of courses to be taught per semester. But it seems to me that the fall semester far outweighs the second semester, and I am asking you, the faculty, to try and think of some .solution. Of course, there may not be a true solution wuthout encroaching on a faculty member’s time. I assure you that the students will understand. But you know, it never hurts to ask. T^etter To Saleiiiites Dear Salem, Since it is impossible for us to reach everyone of you in person, we’d like to take this opportunity for one message from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for everything. Salem has oiTered us the op portunity to study here, and we have had a fascinating experi ence, that is more likely to belong in a dreamworld. Therefore, it is liard to express our feelings, but it simply has been great. Faculty, staff and students have treated us with such friendship and warmth, as you can only experience in a place called “home", and that’s what Salem has been to us. Our special thanks go to Dean .Johnson, Dean Sommervillc, Ren nie Wolf and Marcy Priester, be cause their advice and support has been invaluable to us. Letter To The Editor At a recent meeting of the Li brary Committee, the deplorable state of many of the dormitory study rooms was mentioned. After much discussion, the com mittee decided to request student help in solving this matter. If students will just take a few minutes to list any reasonable ideas for renovating these rooms, the school will try to act on the proposals this summer. Mr. Woer- ncr the librarian has already indi cated his willingness to donate extra library furniture for use in the study rooms. Any ideas about what can be done should be turned in to Dean Jolinson before the end of the se mester. Thanx for your cooperation. Laura Day way life is.

The American Odyssey is a work-study-travel program for students who wish to earn two years ot college credit with an interdisciplinary team. The team will conduct a sixty week series of seminars and research projects while earning all its travel and living expenses in field experi ences across America. A sample team consisting of thirteen members interested in the field of humanities would in clude individuals interested in journalism, marketing, social work, history, art, political sci ences and agriculture. Each indi vidual with a specific interest is responsible for certain group or iented activities as well as his individual area ot research. For example, the individual specializ ing in marketing would be re sponsible for keeping all financial records as well as exploring the bounds of ethical conduct and their effects on business practice. The journalist would be responsi ble for keeping a daily log and for exploring such areas as prop aganda and clear communica tions. Students enter thirty hours of individual learning contracts in their own academic areas and thirty hours ot team contracts covering broad general curricula. Team contracts are supervised by facilitators traveling with teams and students maintaining frequent contact with faculty supervising individual learning contracts. Credit for completed learning con tracts is awarded by Washington International College. Students will be admitted from all academic disciplines or un dergraduate grade levels. Selec tion to the program is based upon diversity of the team and evidence that the applicant has a well thought out educational plan, a realistic understanding of the Odyssey and ot her own abilities, and a clear purpose for partici pating in the Odyssey. W.I.C. has a three week seminar designed to help students plan their program and learn to study efficiently in the context of a self-directed learning program. Most appli cants will need to take this sem inar and develop a plan. Aca demic costs for students receiving credit from W.I.C. are $2000 per academic year. Living and travel costs will be earned “on the road.” Learning teams are sched uled to commence July 1 and Sept. 9, 1974. Students Favor Opening of Pregnancy Termination Clini, This is to inform those of you who took part in the survey concerning the opening of the Forsyth Pregnancy Termination Clinic of its results. The survey, formulated for a Biology readings course under the direction of Don McLeod, was given to Religion 136 and Religion 260 classes and ran domly to other Salem students. Of the 95 questionnaires handed out, 73 were returned and the results compiled on a percentage basis. The purpose of this survey, for those of you who did not participale, was to obtain a ran dom sampling among Salem stu dents of attitudes concerning abortion and the opening of the clinic. As of this date, the clinic will definitely open in May. The results are given below in table form and have beep revised to include only the most pertinent questions. Mean age of students answering questionnaire: 21 Life begins: At conception men the mother A,« fetal movement When the fetus can'srni outside the uterus At birth Would you refer someone know to such a clinic? Yes No Do you favor a local clinic cause: Ot individual rights Of the high cost of tap: abortions j Local abortions less tr malic , Marital status: Single 80% Married 15% Divorced , 6% Class at Salem: Freshmen 18% Sophomore 27% Junior 18% Senior 36% Do you not favor a local t because: Abortions easily enough tained now Encourage promiscuity May lead to approval of n killings Only God can give or life Should the father’s wishes he sidered? Yes No .. Religious Affiliation: Protestant . ....93% Catholic 4% Jewish 1% 93% approved of the opening of the clinic while only 5% did not approve. Did religious beliefs influence your decision concerning clinic? Yes 28% No 71% II Would you support the right of a woman to have an abortion: Under any circumstances 48% Suspected disorders of the fetus 58% Danger to mother 56% Rape 21% Under no circumstances.. 1% Difficulty in having an abortion yourself: Impossible 8% Extremely difficult 44% Moderately difficult 37% Easy 10% Amount of money saved by use of clinic: $50.-$100. 11% $100-$200. 26% $200.-$300. .. .. 34% $3.00.-l- .. . 18% (Actual money saved would be be tween $100.00-$200.00 depending on which local hospital was used) In conclusion, Salem studei were overwhelmingly in fav® the opening of the clinic. I attitudes seemed to have litlie feet on opinions concerning clinic. Although nearly half i Gated that they would find havii an abortion themselves extreme difficult, an equal number ported the right of a woman have an abortion under any cumstances. The majority only stated that they would rei someone they know to sucl clinic but would also con# using the clinic themselves. The students seem to have li: eral attitudes towards abort™ well as towards the opening the clinic when it involves sout one other than themselves, the results also seem to indit: that unless faced with the adi situation the students are oiis: of their own decision. Thanks again to those who Is; part in this survey. Trudy Winstead Donald E.
