‘I Page 2, Salemite, Ort. 17,1980 Editorial Clark Thompson reported at the SGA meeting last Tuesday that as of last Friday over 100 people had not signed up for a January program. Students may complain that registration comes too early and there is not enough time to plan three months ahead, but our January term needs our support. The survival of the program depends on the students following the regulations of procedures and making January a learning experience. Many students say that January is a joke. Either you stay on campus and take a class that meets one hour three times a week or go home and make up a lackadaisical in dependent study. Is this what most of our student body does? Do students steer away from a course that looks interesting because they will have too much reading and writing to do? January should be a time for a more relaxed atmosphere, but not a vacation. Many students use the month to travel or look into a career opportunity that would not have been as readily open to them. The interim is a learning experience and students should regard it as an integral part of the school year. Some of the courses offered may seem rather worthless, but they should be reviewed by a January committee. Students will invariably have harder courses than other young women as in the regular school year; yet, everyone should have some sort of equality in their achievements. I hear students complain about not being able to earn money during January. If students could get paid for the work they did, would they take easy jobs or look for jobs that would bring in the most money? It would be very hard for students to get paid when they could only work for one month. This proposal should be considered; however, because students who work, often end up paying for transportation, food, and often lodging. This becomes expensive when they only receive about $60.00 reimbxirsement from the school for their month away. Would students rather do away with January and return to five courses per semester? I am sure the majority of the students would be very disappointed to lose this privilege. The January program is a major advantage Salem has to offer to in coming students. If you don’t want to see this program die out, support it and follow the rules of procedure. So many oppportunites are available that January should be an ad vantage to your major or your future career. If we ignore the importance of the interim, the opportunity will be taken from us.
