Other teams playing |in the single elimination tourna- lent were the Gramley “Grab- irs” and Babcock “Bouncers.” A new tradition was started that evening with the winning team being awarded a basketball plaque that will hang in some prestigious place in the dorm. Next fall they will have to com pete again against the rest of campus to retain the award, or it will move to the new winner’s home. Congratulations to the Clobbers! I hope you all enjoyed the games.

TH-E salemite Records Are Available By Marilyn Turner The confidentiality of student records has long been a question able issue at Salem. Two years ago, the Honor Council was asked to comply with all other colleges in including in the handbook the confidential status of all student records. The storm of controversy appeared to subside last year, as little mention was made of the issue. But the issue has been re kindled by the recent passage of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, or the Buckley Amendment as it is often called. The act, which took effect Nov. 19, involves the rights of the stu dents and the parents of students under 18 years of age to view and challenge the student’s pri vate files. The amendment re quires student access to “identify ing data, academic work complet ed, level of achievement (grades, standardized achievement tests), attendance data, . . . interest in ventory results, health data, family background information, teacher and counselor ratings and observations, and verified reports of serious or recurrent behavior patterns.” The amendment’s in itial intention was to protect the rights of the student. Mr. John Kwapisz, legislative assistant to Senator James Buck- ley of New York and principle draftsman of the act noted: There seems to be an attitude, not all pervasive but perhaps rather widespread, a kind of au thoritarian, somewhat dom ineering, or overbearing attitude on the part of school administra tors vis-a-vis the students, where decisions affecting that student and his future are made in an aura of secrecy, and where that student has no knowledge as to what elements are involved in a decision made about him. Of course, the Buckley Amendment does focus primarily on elemen tary and secondary education where the abuses that exist have been the most predominant, but these abuses do exist in higher education. I think you are aware of that, and we 'felt that a stu dent in higher education should not have fewer rights than his parents, or than he would if he were in high school. The controversy surrounding the act stems from problems in interpreting its nebulous and ob scure wording. Some apparently clear passages lead to interpreta tions not intended by Congress. Consequently, each institution must interpret the law and decide its response to the law. Salem is currently in the pro cess of interpreting the Buckley Amendment. A school lawyer is studying the law and preparing an official notice to be sent out to all students and parents hope fully before Christmas. This par ticular action by the school is in compliance with one section ot the amendment stating that teo- eral funds will be cut off from the school unless it informs each student of the rights afforded him by the Buckley Amendrnent. In the meantime, the college is on hold as to giving out con fidential student information, it a student requests to see his records, the college must comply within 45 days after receiving the request. College administra tors hope that this six week delay will permit Congress to amend it in that time. Buckley himself hopes to a- mend the law to provide that aU records compiled prior to Sept. 20, 1974 would remain confiden- tifll people are still distressed oyer the quick passage of the Buckley Amendment. Its adoption was Page Five Some Dreams Do Come True; They Did For Two Salemites! By Catherine Delbridge Daydreaming is one of the best ways in the world to escape from all of the tests, papers, reports, and reading that are crammed into the end of the semester. For instance, when Milton’s Paradise Lost becomes too boring for words, you can join Robert Red- ford for lunch in your own Par adise Regained. If the action gets too dull in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, just go to Rome and have a drink with Omar Shariff. Incredible as this plan may sound, it’s exactly what Lynda Casanova did last January. She wasn’t really read ing The Merchant of Venice and wishing for a change of action, but she was sitting in a bar in a country club in Rome, and she was talking to Omar Shariff. You may wonder how Lynda managed to be at the right place at the right time. She had seen a short announcement in the paper that Shariff would be play ing bridge at the country club, so she had decided to go and just admire him at a distance. She arrived early. Other contest ants and spectators glided into the e'legant club. Finally, every one was there except Shariff. Imagine the scene — a slightly darkened room, full of richly dressed people who seem to blend into the damask tapestries, and a feeling of mysterious expec tancy. Then, as the door bell rings in the distance, veiled excitment. At last he appears, dressed entirely in black, and his dark eyes hypnotize the awed group. The bridge game begins, and of course Shariff wins effortlessly. Lynda sits perfectly still for five hours, just watching him in ac tion. Then the game is over. The spectators quickly leave and the players disperse. Lynda watches Shariff as he enters the bar. She is shocked to see that no one joins him. Although she is nervous, she is irresistibly drawn toward him. Before she can speak, she orders a Scotch and tosses it down and then it is time to make the move. She goes over to Omar and sits next to him. At this point, Omar Shariff became areal person instead of a legend. In a con versation that lasted for almost fifteen minutes, Lynda and Omar discussed bridge and Rome. Lynda finally stopped acting sophisticated and admitted to Omar that he was her absolute favorite. Just as she was about to decide that Shariff was definit ely a father image, Shariff asked her where she was from. As Lynda said North Carolina, Omar’s eyes grew misty. In a dreamy voice, he said that he had been to Madison, North Caro- olina twice. Was Omar dreaming of some lost love? ? ? ? We’ll never know, because at this point Lynda left him quietly staring into the distance. Meanwhile, back in North Caro lina, at the Quail Hollow Country Club, Marie Plonk was not drink ing Scotches, but serving them. Chances are that she was too busy to be daydreaming. Cocktail waitresses never have an easy time'. As Marie bustled about, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Imagine her shock when she turn ed around and found herself sur rounded by security guards. Sud- dently, Marie was staring straight into Gerald Ford’s vivid blue eyes. Let’s face it — Marie probably did not think of far away exotic places when she saw those eyes. The vivid blue might have reminded her of blue water, and possibly, by association, Water gate came swimming into her mind. But, back to the story — Ford asked Marie to bring him a martini, so she went to fix it. Feeling eyes staring into her back, she furtively glanced around and found a security guard watching her every move. As she turned to take the drink to Ford, the guard snatched it out of her hand, looked at it for a while and then he gave it to Ford. Needless to say, Marie was disappointed and probably walked away mumbling under her breath. She went back to work. About ten minutes later, she felt another tap on her shoulder. Gerald Ford wanted another martini. This time Marie fixed the drink and when the guard tried to snatch it she stood her ground. The guard back ed down when he felt her hard stare. This time, Marie gave the martini to Ford and was introduc ed to him. It might be true that cocktail waitresses have a hard time, but the good waitresses don’t take any mess. So Marie got her way and got to meet Gerald Ford. If you do get too bogged down with too much work, daydream a little. If Lynda had a drink with Omar and Marie served Gerald Ford martinis, maybe that daydream of yours will come true too. Salem Student Sings At Sam’s Gourmet We have a true celebrity here at Salem. She is talented, charm ing, and has a beautiful voice. You may have already guessed who this popular performer is. She is one of the Archway Singers and goes by the name of Beeg Forman. Last month Beeg performed at Sam’s Gourmet on Country Club Road for one week and also for a weekend at The Hilton Inn. She sang and performed, accompanied by musicians from Wake Forest who played the organ, guitar, and drums. Their song selections ranged from those by Carly Simon, Roberta Flack, and James Taylor to numbers by groups such as The Carpenters, Chicago, and the Doobie Brothers. With this wide selection, they were a hit with everyone. Beeg com ments that Sam’s Gourmet is “a real nice place to work,” and that she “really loved” working there. Students at Salem should mark their calendars now because Beeg will perform again in January. For two weeks she will again sing favorites at Sam’s. Be sure to treat yourself to an enjoyable time at Sam’s during your free time in January. not preceded by any Congression al hearings nor was its legislation the subject of any committee re ports.
