LEG BOARD REPORT; Oct. 1, 1979
1. Security: In response to a petition which
registered the student body’s criticism of the
current security system, a new Security
Committee has been created. Committee
members include; Lisa Ovington, Diana
JoUiff, Mrs. Lyerly, Dean Johnson, Dr.
Edwards, a representative from the
Academy, and Mr. Talbert This committee
shall compile an evaluative study of security
and report the results directly to Pres.
Morrill.
Also on the topic of security ■ Small dor
mitories are encouraging students to sign in
and out for a week in order to compile the
times students are off campus. We hope to
establish that the number of students coming
in after closing warrants hiring another
security guard for night duty.
2. Interdorm: Caroline Celia reported on
Interdorm’s looking into the possibility of
liberalizing visitation hours on the weekend.
In addition, the question was raised again
about the policy of having keys on campus.
There seems to be a great deal of confusion
and Interdorm shall attempt to clarify that
policy.
3. Diana Jolliff reported on the itinerary of
Dr. Morrill’s Inauguration Tuesday, October
16. The Inauguration Service will be held in
the May Dell and will begin at noon. ALL
students are urged to attend this event.
4. F.A.B.: Exec. Board shall be meeting
with the Faculty-Advisory Board Thursday,
Oct 11, to review the drinking policies now
stipulated in the handbook and to make
revisions to that policy.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
Lilly Belle
Leaves
My letter is in support of the principle set
fourth in a previous letter to the editor
regarding the extravagance of the latest
January booklet.
Conservation of energy should be the con
cern of every student on Salem campus, be it
in the dorm or classroom.
A brief walk through Main Hall during the
daylight hours will reveal every light with a
lightbulb is turned on. None of these rooms
were being used for classes.
Although the lamps on first floor are
beautiful to look it, it seems a blatant waste of
energy to have them on all day long as the sun
shines directly on them.
Dormitory rooms are left for hours at a time
with lights, radios and other appliances left
on.
'Greater attention should be paid to the
regulation of thermostats in the Fine Arts
Center. Air conditioning is very welcome in
the hot months but at the last SGA meeting, I
found myself actually shivering from the cold.
I have also found air conditioners left
running long after classes have been
dismissed.
I do not feel it is necessary to post a sign in
every room, but I do think that it is about time
for everyone at Salem to be conscious of the
crisis with which the rest of the country is
trying to cope.
There would be more funds for other
programs, and a smaller electricity bill, if
there were less waste a» relatively simple
concept. Carolyn McCollum
' A party was given on
September 28th in honor
of Lilly Belle Carrigan,
a Salem housekeeper
who has been with the
College since 1947. After
announcing her
retirement, both the
Housekeeping Depa
rtment and College felt
it was appropriate to
pay tribute to Ms.
Carrigan for her faithful
years of service.
A buffet lunch was
served at 12:00 in the
student center. Guests
included employees of
the Housekeeping
Department, Mainte
nance, and various
other people.
Approximately fifty
guests attended.
Mr. Talber t, on behalf
of the College,
presented Ms. Carrigan
with a framed print of
Salem. Ms. Carrigan'
also received a cash gift
from the Houskeeping'
Department.
Ms. Carrigan added a
nice touch to the days
festivities by singing
her rendition of “Going
Home.” She stated this
song symbolizes her
return home after many
years of work. We thank
Ms. Carrigan for her
devotion to Salem
College and wish her
luck in the future.

ithat Student Government will have a new

proval at the next faculty meeting.

(P.S. Go to the Student Center for a study
break and have a beer!)
Since our arrival at
Salem, we Freshmen
have heard rumors
about how great Fall
Fest was, and about how
much fun it would be.
We were apprehensive ~
what was this day all
about? What made it so
great except the
suspended classes and
for some the free beer?
Well, despite our doubts
we were plunged into
preparations, and after
two hectic weeks of
planning, headaches,
song-writing, word-l
earning, screaming,
yelling, crying, and
laughing. Fall Fest Day
's first for the Fresh-
men-arrived.
You could end up with
frost-bitten legs.
2. Don’t worry when
you hear pots and pans
banging outside your
door-it’s only a few
seniors running by to
say good morning.
least, we loved dancing
with you sophomores at
the afterparty-it was a
blast!
3. Be sure you have
more than two chants to
sing at meals-the same
ones can get awfully old.
4. We Freshmen are
great at games and
skits.

All of you who have
been Freshmen at
Salem can remember
your first impression of
Fall Fest. For us, your
class of ’83, it was a
fantastic day, filled with
fun, laughs, and ex
citement. Even though
our shorts and ribbons
came in assorted colors
of pink and blue, our
goat was late for his
entrance, and' our
decorations fell down,
we managed to really
get into the spirit of the
day, and we also
learned several im
portant things;
1. Never say that Fall
Fest Day will be warm.
5. A class can work
together to get things
done even if they’ve
never had any ex
perience and don’t know
each other very well.
All of us thoroughly
enjoyed the whole day
(and night). Breakfast,
entrances, games,
lunch, dinner, and
partying were just
fantastic, but the part
that impressed us the
most was the skits.
Through them we were
brought closer to Salem,
to our class, and to you,
our upper-classmen. We
saw a side of Salem that
we had not seen as
vividly before.
And 6. It’s great to be
in the Salem Sisterhood.
Our class feels a
special kinship with the
senior class as well as
the juniors because we
had just graduated from
high school and you
seniors are getting
ready for a graduation.
There were as many wet
eyes on the Freshman
side of Hanes as there
were on the senior side!
Also, we Freshmen feel
very lucky to have such
a great sister class. You
juniors couldn’t have
made us feel more at
home. And last but not
So, we the Freshmen
want to express our
thanks to all of you -
seniors, juniors,
sophomores, and
faculty - for showing us
a great time, helping us,
and making us feel
welcome. We’ll always
remember our first Fall
Fest, because it has
made us really feel part
of Salem, and we agree-
Salem is a great place
to be!
The Freshmen want
to extend special thanks
to our chairmen, Kelly
Corpening and
Margaret Poindexter,
and to our musicians,
Susan, Kathy, Johanna,
Bobbie and Janelle.

Last summer in Oslo?
On March, 19,. 1979,
after weeks of an
ticipation, the an
nouncement came that
Catherine Fuller and
Donna Savoca were the
recipients of the Oslo
Scholarship. The
selection is made by a
committee composed of
students, faculty, and
administration who
review applicant essays
and qualifications and
award the scholarship
to a rising junior and
senior.
At first, our departure
seemed an eternity
away with spring ac
tivities and final exams
still ahead. But we
realized the only two
weeks of the summer we
had at home were
packed with busy
preparation. How do we
pack for two and one-
half months when all
our belongings were to
be carried on our
backs? The essentials
were bare indeed! We
each had 2 pairs of
Levis, a few cotton T-
shirts, 2 wrinkle-free
dresses, tennis shoes, a
poncho, a sweater and a
filth-resistant jacket.
After a whirlwind tour
through Great Britain,
Holland, Denmark,
Sweden, Brussels,
Paris, Nice, Florence,
Lucerne, Salzburg, and
Munich we arrived in
Oslo on June 23. We
were train-bogged and
hungry (but sick of
bread, cheese and jam).
Yet still dazed by the
sites we had seen.
We encountered
students from fifty-two
countries at the
International Summer
School, all of whom
spoke English. We lived
in dormitories, ate our
meals, danced, and
oO ^
