These books may be taken home over Christmas and January and we encourage you to do so. The browsing room contains a full bibliography of those books sug gested as good reading material for the symposium. The symposi um will not only consist of lectures, but, will also include dialogues between the speakers and students. Everyone is en- The end of the semester is never a good time to take up a new cause, whether it’s schoolwork or newspaperwork, so The Salemite editors are not going to bother you this time with any editorial on “burning campus issues”. We’ll leave that to next semester. Instead, we’d like to use this space to answ'er very informally a few questions readers have asked about the newspaper and to give you our own feelings about the joys and frustrations of running The Salemite. One of the most frequent questions we’ve heard this semester is “wLy did the first issue of the newspaper come out so late?” There are many reasons, the most important one being that until about mid-September the newspaper was bankrupt (due to a printer’s bill which did not arrive until this summer for the preceding spring semester’s news papers. Also due to the editors’ complete ignorance of things financial.) SGA finally gave us $1839.37, the major portion of our club allotment, in the middle of September so our immediate financial problem was solved. However, we still had others. Believe it or not, it takes an incredible amount of time and energy to manage a college newspaper, even one as small as The Salemite. We spent most of the period from the last weekend in August to the last one in September organizing our staff, making assignments, mapping out the schedule for the year, setting up a darkroom, selling ads, writing and mailing out subscription notices to some 600 parents, planning speakers, recruiting new' reporters, meeting with the printer, and requesting newspaper exchanges with some 40 colleges and universities across the nation. We also spent a lot of time going berserk. By the end of September, how ever, w'ith funds securely in hand and a staff raring to go, w'e w'ere able to publish. Which brings us to another familiar question; ie., “why does The Salemite publish so infrequently?” There are three reasons. First, past experience has shown that not enough happens on Salem campus to warrant a weekly newspaper. Second, by publishing every two or three weeks, reporters teel less pressure and can write better and more in-depth stones. Finally, printing a weekly paper on The Salemite’s pre.sent budget is financially impossible. The four newspapers we have printed so far cost a total of $1225.57 (and we still have to pay for this one!). In addition to our SGA allocation we receive .some revenue from ads and parents’ subscriptions but this only totals about $600 a semester, not enough to publish even two six-page newspapers. At this rate, w'e can count on having enough money to publish four, or if we’re lucky, hve papers at the most next semester. This is hardlv a desirable figure, ^ The major expense involved in publishing a newspaper is ot course, the printing. We believe we’re getting the best printing rates in town but type and paper and the labor involved in running the presses are still expensive. Photographs and large headlines also cost more but the editors believe the added expense is justified if these make the paper more attractive to its readers. The cost for pub- ishing photograi3hs averages about $20 per issue. This does not include developing the film and printing the negatives J"rk "h'emseu;:.'^^^" editors'doThe With so many financial problems and organizational head • 4- thing, it s a great way to meet a varietv of •wii" magic aboul the Lrf liLytcekeii ) Ahn ,?)‘'angest sorts of pub- . ^ V A ’ newspaper life is never dull.

These group discussions should not be a one-way conver sation. Student book reviews will also be available in the library’s browsing room in folders for your reading. These reviews are being written by Mrs. Edwards’ Ad vanced Composition class and should prove very interesting and enlightening. Refreshments (see schedule) will be served after several of the events of the symposium. Please clip the schedule appear ing in this issue and post it in your room.

This person is Bet Leach, who is usually suffering from drinking too deep from the founts of wisdom. ^ completing a double major in English and mus: Refusing to be held within the merely academic, she writ poetry, which deals with subjects that range from set blances_ to toe_ collections. (Absurdity has its appeal t Betsy’ just as it does for many other modern poets). Bet studied poetry last year with A. R. Ammons, a maji American poet. Ammons not only liked Betsy’s poetry, t. he enjoyed her sophomore organ recital so much that! gave her a standing ovation. Betsy not only plays the orgJ well and writes good poetry, but she paints well also. Oi nne painting she has done deals with the theme of glutton; t he canvas is covered with watermelons while two small ffi sit in the middle gorging on them. Betsy treasures the bizarre.
