If, as the saying goes, you are what you eat, then what actually are
you'? A walking McDonald's hamburger’’ A sea of greasy lasagna?
One gigantic chocolate chip cookie?
It’s encouraging to realize that people have begun to show an in
creased interest in the relationship between nutrition and health.
Their interest is reflected in part by the growing number of health food
stores, health food restaurants, and publications dealing with
nutrition. In order to foster an awareness of the importance of
nutrition, The Salemite will be running a column in which we hope
both to highlight the more important aspects of good nutrition and to
introduce students to the health food stores in Winston-Salem.
We will be discussing various vitamins and minerals as well as
clarifying certain terms. For example, “health food” does not
necessarily imnlv onlv liver or yogurt. It can also include apple-
crunch granola, dried fruit, that wickedly fattening grind-it-yourself
peanut butter,
What you eat does affect how you feel. How are you today?

can make closer friends than you
can at a co-ed school. You don’t
have to compete with guys.”
When Cindy visited Salem last
year, she was impressed by the
atmosphere and the friendliness
of the school.
Right now, Cindy thinks she
may major in biology, but she is
interested in humanities, too. A
liberal arts college will give her
the opportunity to explore both
interests.
These four girls have given
serious thought to their future,
both college plans and career
goals. All show excitement about
beginning a new life here at
Salem. Moreover, they want to
develop their individual in
terests. This individual
development will benefit Salem
College as a whole.
Are you bored with academics?
Is fat fun? Let us help you join the
active life. Become a member of
WRA (better known as the
Women’s Recreational
Association). We want to give
students an opportunity to benefit
from our program which consists
of such activities as back
packing, jogging, skiing,
backgammon, croquet, frisbee
and many more. We need you as
much as you need us. Athletics
are both fun and rewarding. For
WRA to continue, we need your
ideas and support. YOU, the
student, are the backbone of
every club and organization on
campus. Why not let us help you
to help yourself. Become in
volved!! Meeting time will be
posted in Refectory next week.

BRING A FRIEND.
Does your dorm room have an empty window sill, - or an ugly
corner you would like to hide? Why not brighten your room with
plants?
With the prospect of rainy and cold months ahead, a beautiful
Boston fern or a flowering narcissus would be enough to lift anyone’s
spirits. With minimal care you can grow ivies, ferns, herbs, cacti,
flowers, and much more. If you are lucky enough to have several
sunny windows, you can have your own little “greenhouse.” Coleus,
most cacti and succulents, caladiums, begonias, English ivy,
asparagus ferns are just a few of the plants that respond to bright
light. Spider plants, rosary vines, ivies, ferns, african violets, Baby’s
tears and peperomia, require diffused or medium light.
To freshen a dark comer, rubber plants, devil’s ivy (or pothos),
some fern, Norfolk Island pine, and philodendron will flourish with low
light. Daffodil, crocus, amarylis and tulip bulbs are a breath of spring
in the midst of a dreary winter, and can be grown with little effort. If
you have little time or room, terrariums are the perfect solution.
No matter how much room or experience you have, you can grow
beautiful plants in your room. Last semester I grew sixty different
plants in Strong dorm with only two small windows! Since many
Salem students have plants or may purchase some in the future, I will
be writing this column regularly about special problems, answering
any questions you may have, and have a “feature plant” each week.
Any questions may be submitted to the Salemite box in Main Hall or
put in my box at the Day Student Center.
