Swedish Students
Experience Salem
By Anne Duncan
Salem is pleased to have two
foreign students this year. They
are Ann Kristine Freden and
Maria Dahlin, both from Sweden.
They applied to the Sweden-Am-
erica Foundation which places
students in foreign schools. This
organization encourages friend
ships between the two countries.
It placed Ann Kristine and Maria
here at Salem.
Maria visited the United States
two summers ago on a language
trip. She traveled through Conn,
and N.J. Ann Kristine had never
been here prior to this year. They
both love North Carolina, but
neither of them knew much about
it before they arrived at Salem.
Old Salem was quite a surprise to
them. Maria said that it remind
ed her of a small town in Eng
land. Ann Kristine said that it is
a beautiful little community and
she loves the peacefulness found
here. She would like to go around
and tour the museums as soon as
possible. Salem College is a new
experience to both of the girls.
Sweden has very few boarding
schools and no girls schools. Al
most all of the schools there are
public schools.
To Maria, the young people in
the U.S. are much friendlier than
in Sweden. She feels that they are
easier to talk to and lots of fun.
Ann Kristine expected the youth
here to be more concerned with
the country than they are. She
had the impression that Ameri
cans were very much involved in
politics and government affairs,
but she found that this is not true.
Both students are taking some
very interesting classes. Maria is
taking Southern Writers, Women
in History, Psychology, and Ten
nis. Ann Kristine is taking South
ern Writers, Women in History,
Psychology, Modern Dance and
Piano. She especially likes the
dance class and piano.
We welcome these girls to Sa
lem and hope that they have a
fantastic year here. If you would
like to go by and talk with them,
Maria is in 316 Babcock, and Ann
Kristine is in 205 Clewell.
Eiiviroiiiiieiital
Watch Force
In an effort to promote conser
vation of energy and natural re
sources at Salem, the Home Ec
Club is in the process of forming
an environmental watch force.
This force will be composed of
several students from the club
who will be investigating the use
of paper, electricity, water, and
detergents by both students and
faculty. The group will then com
municate their findings, along
with suggestion for improvement,
to The Salemite. The Home Ec
Club hopes to create an aware
ness on campus of the necessity
of halting America's rapid deple
tion of her natural resources. Any
suggestions concerning this pro
ject would be appreciated and
should be directed to Aggie Cow
an, 204 Clewell.
LAW SCHOOL DEBATE
(Continued from Page One)
Incumbent Carson
Carson is running as the incumbent for the office. Governor James
Holshouser appointed then Judge Carson to the post when Morgan
announced he was resigning. Carson is a 39-year-old graduate ot the
University of North Carolina Law School.
He practiced law in his native Charlotte prior to his appointment
to the North Carolina Court of Appeals by Holshouser. Carson has
stated that he plans to emphasize anti-trust actions and a crackdown
on organized crime if he is elected.
Challenger Edmisten
Challenger Rufus Edmisten is a 33-year-old native of Boone and
a graduate of the George Washington University Law School. Al
though having never practiced law privately, Edmisten is a protege
of retiring U. S. Senator Sam Ervin, and has extensive experience in
Congressional affairs.
Edmisten has served as majority deputy chief counsel for the
Senate Watergate Committee, which Ervin chaired.
He was previously counsel for the U. S. Senate Judiciary Sub
committee on Constitutional Rights and chief counsel for the Sub
committee on Separation of Powers.
Both Morgan and Ervin have endorsed Edmisten’s candidacy.
“Rufus Edmisten has had vast experience in the specific field in
which the Attorney General of North Carolina operates—an experi
ence more valuable in the post of Attorney General than that obtain
able from merely trying cases and advising private litigants,” Ervin
has said of the youthful Edmisten.
Edmisten has stressed in his campaign the independence of the
Judiciary Department, individual consumer protection and the estab
lishment of a Freedom of Information Bureau.
With recent charges and counter-charges by the candidates, the
forthcoming debate promises to be lively and colorful. SBA Speakers
Program Co-Chairperson James Roberson said he expected a fine
display of political expertise. “It ought to be a good debate to hear,”
he noted.

ODE TO THE COMMODE
Sunday morning in my bed.
Appearing to the world as dead.
The first sounds that I chanced to hear
Were those that happened near my ear.
The taco from the night before
Made my stomach growl and roar;
But all my dreams were incomplete.
So I rolled over and went back to sleep.
My slumber was again disturbed
By distant noises that I heard;
What drew me to the world beyond?
The flushing of the third floor john.
As the bells began to chime,
I took a quick glance at the time.
That early bird had had no date.
For she arose at half past eight.
And lying there between my sheets
I vowed that I’d attempt the feat:
Actions from the night before —
Predicting by the bathroom door.
Between arousals came some gaps
That I filled in with little naps.
Yet blissful sleep had just begun.
When the Freshmen arose who came in by one.
When questioned how her date had gone.
And how she’d managed to get home—
A chain reaction did occur . . .
Three toilets flushed, and drowned her words.
Straining my ears to hear the tale,
I heard the story—why it didn’t go well
It seemed he said, “As a matter of fact,
Why don’t we make a little contact?”
This story really struck me as funny.
And I muffled my laugh with my stuffed bunny.
I turned on my back and overheard
The consoling advice of a Sophomore’s word.
Another padding down the hall
Into the W.C. where she did bawl
And distressfully sigh with deep regret
As she told of the new girl her boyfriend had met.
But then the water began to gush.
The details were lost with the toilet’s flush.
I pondered this saga and wonder yet.
If it was a Salem girl this guy had met.
Out of my bed I finally emerged
For I myself had felt the urge.
I realized then the common bond
Of the gossip surrounding the third floor john.
It’s Hard
Being A Transfer
Crawford Hall
By June Little
Lost credits, new faces and,
“How do I get there from here?”
Sound familiar transfers? Here
we are somewhere between the
wide-eyed Freshmen and the self-
assured Seniors. With the orien
tation schedule and help from
Big Sisters, the Freshmen have a
distinct advantage over us. Let’s
face it girls, it’s rather embarras
sing to ask a Freshman for di
rections; but maybe we should.
After all, there’s nothing like try
ing to find “U. S. History to 1865”
in the English wing.
Susan Bingham, who transfered
to Salem last year, and Becky
Hutchinson, a more recent addi
tion, both agree that transferring
does have its disadvantages. Su
san feels that being a transfer
is even worse than being a Fresh
man. She says, “When you’re a
transfer you tend to feel awkward
and silly. There are so fewolji
that the other girls learn )i.
name, but you never can gel
round to remembering theirs.'
Becky has still another vie
. She believes, “social grounsJ'
already formed by the sopt
and junior years, so when w
transfer it is really hard tif
in.”
Another disadvantage isthelfS
of credits. Those of us who to'
come from schools not on a I
program have all experienced ’
loss of some hard-earned h®
Susan sums this up with thaU
evitable truth: “When youitj
transfer you really get to »'
the Academic Dean.”
It is hard being a transfejj;
thanks to your help we ve
ed quite rapidly. We’re a
we’re here. Thanks for tak'" ^
in.
