procedures ftnd Changes in Room Drawing
by Robin Maxey
Boom drawings this year are
set to begin Tuesday, April 5
and to continue through Thursday,
^pril 7. Dean Johnson, Page
,|,g„ch and Mrs. Pack will be
reeling the room drawing pro-
5s which will take place in the
reer Reading Room in Lehman
II In preparation for the room
iwing, students should be aware
the procedure and some
inges in the drawing process,
iefore a student is eligible to
iw for a room the room reser-
Icess
vation fee of $200.00 must be paid
to the college treasurer. This
fee must be paid by April 1. Stu
dents should check with parents
and comptroller’s office to make
sure the fee has been paid.
This year the number that may
draw as a unit has been lowered
to a maximum of six students.
This was changed from the units
of ten last year. Also, although a
final decision concerning elected
official’s room choices has not yet
been reached. Dean Johnson stat
ed that no student who is given
first choice will be allowed to
draw as part of a unit. Hall Ad
visors and House Presidents will
not be given first choice in the
room drawings; these offices will
not be chosen until after room
drawings. The primary reason for
these changes evolves from the
concern of the administration that
each student be given a fair
chance to have her own room
preference. With smaller drawing
units, students will be allowed to
live with “friendship groups” but
will not be able to “dominate” an
entire floor or dormitory.
The basic procedure will be the
same as" in previous years. Stu
dents will report to the Career
Reading Room during the de
signated period, fill out a room
preference card and the names
of group members and the room
preference. Only one card is to
be filled out for each group.
Numbers will be chosen from the
lottery and room choices will be
plotted on the dormitory charts.
The schedule will be as follows:
Seniors may draw on Tuesday,
April 5 from 10:00 a.m. until
1:00. Singles and triples may draw
that same day between 2:00 p.m.
and 4:00 p.m. Juniors may draw
on Wednesday, April 6 between
10:00 and 1:00 p.m. Sophomores
may draw Thursday, April 7, from
10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
Sometime before room drawing,
students are advised to discuss
room plans with roommates and
friends. It is advisable, too, that
students look at different dormi
tories and specific rooms before
deciding on a preference. Students
should have alternate choices
ready in case they are unable to
obtain their first choice.
Students should realize that the
administration is willing to co
operate as much as possible in
order that each girl be housed
where she wishes.

Constitutional Changes Passed
msii. yil.MacJ
Auctioneer Lazarus Directs ‘Y’ Festivities
By Jean Ford
On February 22, several con
stitutional changes were passed
which will greatly affect both the
student body and the student
government of Salem College.
Seven minor changes were passed
which, among other things, re
duce the number of required
meetings for students and im
prove the election system. In the
three major changes two new
councils and a new board were
created, three new absolute offi
ces were created, and one major
office was split into two minor
offices.
The minor changes are:
1) The SGA meeting time, orig
inally the first Tuesday of every
month, is now to be decided at
the discretion of the President,
with approval of the Executive
Board. One explanation for this
change was that presently one
student, the SGA President, is
allowed to attend faculty meet
ings, which also take place on
Tuesdays.
2) Legislative Board meetings,
originally every other week, are
now to be at least once a month.
3) The Student Affairs Commit
tee and Backdoor Chairman have
been added as members of Legis
lative Board.
4) The House President elec
tion, which originally took place
before room drawing, will now
take place after room drawing.
5) The petition period for elec
tions has been changed from a
seven day signing period to one
of at least four days and not more
than seven days.
6) A contested election now must
be contested within two weeks of
the election.
7) The list of specific services
of the Student Service Council
has been deleted from the Con
stitution.
The major changes are:
1) The major office of FITS
Chairman has been divided into
two minor offices, FITS Chair
man and Founder’s Day Chair
man. Both of these offices will be
held by sophomores. FITS Chair
man will be elected by the
sophomore class and the Found
er’s Day Chairman will be elected
in a school-wide election.
2) A Student Activities Board
has been created which will con
sist of the Chief Marshall, the
Presidents of the Budget Organi
zations, The Lecture/Assembly
Committee Student Chairman, the
Backdoor Chairman, The Presi
dent of SGA, and the Director of
Student Activities. The Director
of Student Activities is an abso
lute office held by a senior which
must be petitioned. Her duties
will be to serve as director of
extra-curricular campus activi
ties, to evaluate the purpose and
effectiveness of the member or
ganizations, and to investigate
and present new programming
ideas to member organizations.
3) IRS has been divided into
two councils, the Big Four Coun
cil and the Social Activities
Council. The offices of both Chair
men of the councils will be ab
solute offices held by juniors or
seniors. The duty of the Big Four
Council is to plan all Salem dance
activities and the duty of the
Student Activities Council is to
coordinate all activities other than
these dances.
Applicants’ Weekend Planned

’ eluding discussions, in
formation sessions and special
speakers. A similar weekend was
held last year, and was termed a
success by both the students, who
appreciated the opportunity to
visR Salem and the Admissions
Office, who felt it was a signifi
cant factor in several girls
decisions to attend Salem. Of the
total number of girls who partici
pate in the weekend, only half
have indicated they plan to attend
Salem next year and the rest are
undecided. Hopefully ‘he eyen^
of the weekend will enable the
to get a clearer picture of what
Salem has to offer a student.
The students will be Iwused in
Clewell Babcock and Gramley,
and any Salem student who is
fnterested in hostessing one or
two applicants should contact Jan
Guiton or Kay Simpson in Bab
cock; Betsy Thorne in Clewell,
and Laura Weatherspoon in
Gramley. All Salem students are
invited to attend the entertain
ment Sunday night at 8:30 in Shir
ley, and the reception following.
The weekend has been carefully
planned by the Admissions Office,
but its success depends largely
on Salem students, and the im
pression they may leave on the
applicants who visit. Hostessing
an applicant is an unique way to
assist the Admissions Office, but
even non-hostesses can make the
weekend a success by guiding ap
plicant to classes and scheduled
events, and offering information
when needed.
