Campus Communication
Requires Active Support
We - students, faculty, administrators - have made
progress this year. We have made a visible effort to
communicate more effectively with one another through
weekly news correspondence in The Salemite.
h'ifteen issues of The Salemite now have been
published, indicative of hard work and cooperation of
staff members and of campus-wide support. Every
week of publishing this year, students have worked
together, contributing time and developing their skills in
the art of communication. Just ask Jane Dittmann how
to “air out” an article. For that matter, ask Jane almost
anything about weekly newspaper publishing. This was
her first year’s work on any newspaper staff. She has
been an invaluable associate editor.
How have other students supported The Salemite?
Stop Susan Miller sometime and ask her about almost
any article we have printed. As copy editor, Susan has
spent hours each week reading articles to edit punc
tuation, spelling, grammar and content.
Many students are not aware of the mysterious world
of “X-acto knives,” copy waxers, blackouts - the often
frantic and sometimes frustrating challenge of
preparing layouts. In the back room of King First
Baptist Church, overlooking the church cemetary (the
present site of Monarch Publishing Co.), Holly Freeburg
has spent many afternoons helping to organize copy,
pictures, ads and headlines in to the final four-page
product which appears in campus boxes.
Pam Snyder and Laura Castellanos also have worked
with layout in King. Pam is a professional photographer
in Winston-Salem and a sophomore day student at
Salem. 'She has travelled to King each week this
semester and will continue to work with layout and
photography next year. Laura has been a creative
headline-writer and a staff reporter this vear.
Give Hannah Haines just an hour or so and she can
produce a cartoon to convey almost any idea or mood
you may have. She has been a conscientious and
imaginative art editor this year. Debbie Hudson,
assisted by Liza Ovington and Ann Yazujian have
worked to coordinate circulation of the newspaper each
week.
In addition to Jane Dittmann, Holly Freeburg and
Hannah Haines, there are other senior staff members-
who deserve a final recognition. Cameron Harris has
been Business Manager for two years, keeping our
records accurate to the cent and working to support The
Salemite by selling advertising. Karen Smith has
provided us with pictures each week.
Beth Jones has been our bright and often humorous
columnist; Margaret Aslanis has given tips on indoor
gardening.
Social recognition should be given to Anne
Beicheman, who designed our new masthead, Suzanne
Margaretta Yarborough, for their
effective reporting and reliability. Also, Rebecca
Dunbar, columnist, Anne Piedmont, student govern
ment reporter and Sandra Spear, past assistant editor
made many contributions during the fall term. Sarah
Parsons did several special reports and photography for

As the “retiring” Editor of the Salemite, I am
impressed with my successor. I feel confident that she is
capable of learning from mistakes we made this year
and that she will be an effective leader. Amanda Vannoy
has written several feature stories for the newspaper
and she has indicated a sincere desire to develop our
newspaper from its first year of weekly publication.
You, as students, faculty and administration, have set
a precedent for Amanda and her staff to follow. Yoii
have proven that the Salem community is active enough
to warrant weekly news coverage.
involves two sides which
willingly employ the basic principle of giving and
receivin^g. Your new Editor and her staff will be giving
many hours of their time to provide the college
^mmunity with accurate, effective reporting, com-
inentary and entertainment. ®
The entire staff needs the continued support of each
active member of the Salem community to insure the
survival and growth of The Salemite. Communication is
essential to progress. Let us protect the lines of
communication we have opened so far. Isolation breeds
too quickly to be ignored.
