She left with a reputation for getting things me. ,\ls. Edgerton, who is now Mrs. )hnH. Grubb, was elected editor- hchiel of The Ivy, Salem’s early version of Incunabula, during her year. She soon realized, kowever, that Salem students needed something more informa- ive than a literary magazine. So ske asked permission to start a newspaper, discontinued The Ivy, id The Salemite was born. .\Irs, Grubb and her husband )w live in Toledo, Ohio, but re cently stopped to visit Salem on ir way home from a winter in She commented on a few the changes that have taken place on the newspaper in the )5 years since she was its first liter: "Students sort of stayed in line ■etty evenly,” she said when questioned whether or not the S al e m i t e presented any controversial articles. Early issues included some social news, die said, as well as news from the ent departments. 1920 also saw the beginning of May Day celebrations at Salem and The Salemite included this in one of ‘isearly issues.

Unlike today. The Salemite did not have an office and Mrs. Grubb said that her staff of six or eight simply put the paper together in whoever’s dorm room happened to be free. She al so added that when the corner stone for the Alice Clewell dormi tory was laid, one of the first copies of The Salemite was placed inside. 55 years have changed not only The Salemite but Salem as well. Mrs. Grubb was amazed at the number of buildings that have been constructed since she left and was also impressed with the Old Salem restoration. She was espe cially surprised with the changes in social regulations. When told of Salem’s SDH and key system, she recalled her college days when girls could not attend a late night dance in town unless they were also invited to spend the night in an approved chaperone’s home. Today’s cafeteria-style break fasts also provoked comment. “When I was here”, Mrs. Grubb said, “The bell rang and you were there or you didn’t eat.” She also added that a drugstore across the square came in very handy when students missed meals. 55 years have changed many aspects of Salem but one thing remains the same. Mrs. Grubb calls it the “true Salem spirit.” When she and her husband were checking into the Alumni House, a student jumped from her seat at the lily pond and carried their luggage inside. The Grubbs were impressed. Maybe Salem spirit isn’t dead after all. Rhett Huber If, according to the recent SGA survey, the said 95% of the Salem College community really does read their announcement sheets, then maybe you noticed a white sheet in your box a couple of weeks ago that said: “Because you have indicated a real interest ■ • . because you recognize a need to know what specific careers may involve (both good and bad) . . .” on Thursday, April 17, 1975, Salem and non-Salem graduates will gather in the Club Dining Room at 6:30 “to talk with you . . . to answer questions . . . and to give you a first hand, candid appraisal of job fields.” And if you were interested in Future Opportunities and Careers Under Scrutiny, you enjoyed two or more pieces of sugar cake after a roast beef din ner, and talked with women work ing in fields ranging from banking to photography to medical tech nology to modeling/buying. After Sue Hale reiterated the purpose of the meeting, she gave us the strategy for the evening: to use four time periods of twenty minutes each to visit with a career representative. Knowing t h a t I would probably lose a couple of fingers to paralysis if I tried to interview everyone, I selected four women in dramatically opposing fields, with the thought that I would get something for everyone. I chose to begin with a third year Wake Forest law student, pro gressed to a bilingual secretary, moved to a travel agent, and com pleted my survey with a buyer/ model. Law School Mary Murrill is a Salem gradu ate who completed her under graduate work in Math and Chem istry in three years, began law school the August after she finished her undergraduate de gree, and who is now looking for ward to some R&R after six years of “continuing education”. Mary began by giving me an idea of some of the opportunities that await her when she receives her Juris Doctor degree this spring. First on her list were the jobs available in the Washington, D.C. area. She said that if one wanted to work on Capitol Hill, the opportunities were many and diverse in administration, legal research, and bill drafting. She also generalized that jobs are available in similar capacities not only with the federal government, but also with state and local agencies. Work with a District Attorney’s office is also a viable alternative if one is interested in a public service related job. In opting for more schooling and re ceiving a masters in law, teaching is an alternative to, or another form of public service. If public service sounds dull to your Perry Mason inclined ear, practicing with an individual firm appears as another area of employment. There are firms of various sizes available, depending upon where you would like to locate after school. One would be most suc cessful in finding a small firm catering to a small town and its citizens’ needs, while a large firm would probably anticipate hiring lawyers coming to the big cities. In the Winston-Salem area there is a special opportunity for law school graduates to offer legal counsel to large corporations such as Hanes or Reynolds. Here, one has the choice of becoming a part of the corporation, solely advising the corporation, or one can desig nate oneself as a corporate lawyer and serve as legal counsel to any company or corporation. Mary also mentioned work in other businesses. For example, one could work in the trust de partment of a bank. Also avail able are clerkship positions under judges where one does research, instructs juries, and prepares briefs. Finally, for all you potential law school people, Mary gave me a maxim that makes its way around the law schools: “The first year they scare you to death, the second year they work you to death, and the third year they bore you to death.” On this note of dire premonition, I had to leave Mary to her awaiting graduation and job-seeking for an already em ployed bilingual secretary. Banking Lynn Willoughby graduated from Salem two years ago as a Spanish major. She had lived in Peru and Spain for some time, and so had managed to achieve a sound con trol of Spanish. She has had a job for six months with three bankers who work out of Wachovia, and began by explaining what her bosses do. As men who deal with “the buying of money”, Lynn told me they make frequent trips to South America and Spain and one of her jobs is to prepare them for the situations they will encounter. Before they visit a country, the bankers must have a brief on the present political, economic, and (continued on page five) New Organization Serves Campus and Community Karen Kirkman Congratulations Salem! You have just made a new name for yourself. Salem College has the first all-girl Circle K Club in the Carolina’s District, which in cludes all of North Carolina and South Carolina. We are also the third all-girl club in the Inter national, which includes the Unit ed States, Canada, and 47 other countries. The Circle K Club of Salem Col lege is part of the largest collegi ate organization in North America with 900 clubs throughout the United States and Canada, and over 12,000 members. However, it is not the size of our organization that gives us our identity or pro vides us with our primary source of pride and satisfaction in Circle K; rather our reason for existence is found in what we do and what we stand for. Circle K is a service organiza tion, through which college men and women can find a more active involvement in the life of their campus. Our concerns result in very direct personal service. We are involved in activities that help people and serve the campus, community, and the nation. Circle K is a means of forming friend ships, working in a common cause with other students, and simply having fun. We in Circle K believe that col lege is more than scholarship — it’s finding out who you are; it’s a good time; it’s getting to know Salcni Adopts A Fine Arts Major r-fi. TAoncalpmQ for at least weekend. Do not 'lay Saw/ Plant Sale all ^''‘'^'■dayinthe Square. Beginning this fall at Salem, a new major in Fine Arts will be of fered. This course of study originated by Dr. Homrighous and Ms. Rufty will be a combination of art, music, dance and drama. With the exception of dance, em phasis will be placed on the histories of these art forms rather than on performance. In dance, learning will be through perform ing with an emphasis on develop ing technique. A student must concentrate in either drama or dance. Art and music are not stressed as highly since majors are already offered in these areas. The curriculum for this major includes a minimum of fifteen courses in art, music, dance and drama. Of course, basic distribu tion requirements must still be fulfilled. Two courses are required in both art history and music his tory, then an additional course m both areas must be elected by the student. For an emphasis m drama, a minimum of five drama courses and four dance courses would be taken with one or two independent studies in drama, it dance was stressed, then the five courses would be in dance and four in drama with one or two independent studies in dance, m addition, a Fine Arts major must be a member of either Pierrettes or Dansalems for at least two years. The only significant curriculum changes specifically for the Fine Arts major are being made in dance. A course in modern dance for credit will be offered as well as one in choreography. Additions have also been made in the art curriculum, but not specifically for the new major. This major will open new paths for students with particular in terests in dance, drama, art and music, but more importantly, it will develop these interests into knowledgeable appreciation of the Arts. others; it’s trying to make a meaningful contribution to our world. Circle K provides a unique opportunity for reaching each of these goals. You can be a part of this organ ization; there are no prerequisites except for a desire to give as much time as you like to work in the areas Circle K is involved in. There are no expensive dues. We are a people organization; an organization of people who wish to help people. Regular meetings will be sched uled and announced. Come to a meeting and find out for yourself what Circle K is all about.
