Road trips!
What exactly are road trips? They take
great preparation, but it’s worth the effort to
get away from it all.
First you need a car, preferably a BMW, but
since beer cans will end up on the floor, a 1972
Monte Carlo will do. Since Salem girls travel
in packs, you will take three friends along and
plan on running an hour behind schedule. With
a cooler full of ice from the ice machine in the
basement, and munchies from the Bookstore
you’re set to go.
Loading the car is easy. Throw everything
in the trunk and it takes all four of you to sit on
it to close. Make sure you leave room in the
back seat for the cooler along with pillows or
bags of Cheetos. You make one last stop at the
post office (a waste of time) then you head out
for 1-40.
As Z93 fades out you put in your best beach
tape and crank up the tunes. You start looking
for the nearest gas station which always
seems to be ten miles ahead. You finally get to
an Exxon where everybody stares at you
because music is blaring out of your car and
you obviously didn’t stop to get gas.
When you’re back on the road the con
versation picks up concerning boys, how many
PE cuts you have left, and what to do the next
weekend. When a good song comes on you
realize you have four Diana Ross im
personators in the car. After a pit stop for a
quarter-pounder, fries. Coke, and a sundae
you may lose some of your passengers to
Dreamland,(depending on how long your trip
is). As you near your destination you all
synchronize your watches so you’ll be sure not
to leave too late, and vote on who’s going to
help keep the driver awake on the way back.
Road trips are great fun but be careful not to
let anything ruin your trip. Drive carefully
and start planning your next adventure.

I. Introductions were made. The meeting was
chaired by Mrs. Mary Ann Davis.
II. The position of secretary was volunteered for
by Liza Ovington.
III. After brief reading from the by-laws- of the
committee, it was stressed that the group’s function
is one of communication and to serve as a sounding
board for student concerns.
IV. Topics of Discussion:
A) Security
Student satisfaction was expressed in regard to
the resolution of the past security problems. It was
agreed that a noticeable improvement has been
effected by Larry Upshaw in his position as Chief of
Security at Salem College and Academy.
B) Bookstore
Opinions of the student bookstore and its new
management were voiced. There was feeling that
the stock may be somewhat limited, but that the
new organization is excellent. It was agreed that
Mr. Tucker and his staff are very approachable and
are to be commended.
C) Exams
The new exam procedure instituted last spring
and the current procedures to acquire either
reading days or extra exam periods were sum
marized for the Trustees. Both students and faculty
expressed comfort with and an appreciation for
Salem’s Honor System. The handling of cases by
Honor Council was reviewed and commended.
D) Advising
It was generally agreed that the advising system
is satisfactory and that students feel comfortable in
seeking the advice of professors other than their
assigned advisor if need be. There was a
suggestion that a workshop be held for faculty
interested in advising.
E) Day Students
Members discussed the apparent gap between
boarding and day students and attempts to bridge
it. The committee agreed that it should have a Day
Student representative and that Dean Johnson
would talk to the President of the Day Students and
request that they nominate a representative to the
Student Affairs Committee for approval by the
Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. It
was established that Continuing Education students
are represented by the Day Student Association. A
suggestion was made for a scheduled hour after
lunch to be used for meetings to facilitate Day and
CE student attendance.
V. The date of the next meeting of the Student
Affairs Committee was set for Monday, December
1 at 7:00 p.m. at the home of Mary Ann Davis. The
meeting was adjourned.

The Library Committee met for its third meeting
on Thursday, November 6. Improvements and
changes that have taken place in the year since Dr.
Simon has been here were reviewed.
In the past year:
1. (a) Since July the circulation rate has gone up
12 percent. Much of this increase was due to
governor’s school; however; since September the
rate has gone up 8 percent.
(b) material put on reserve by professors has
increased 30 percent.
(c) Reference for September-October; help given
by the reference librarians up 76 percent.
2. The card catalog is now caught up and all the
cards have been put back in.
3. From July 1979 to June 1980, 3750 books were
reclassified. Currently, the library staff is working
on literature referred to as “browsing room books’’
which have been listed in 3 or 4 places. All of these
are to be classified in the Library of Congress
system with the rest of the literature books.
4. Several new books have been added to the
“Browsing Collection” on second floor. These books
are not the ones referred to in No. 3 and are filed
under the author’s last name.
5. Books that are too big to fit on the shelves are
classified under the name Folio Project. Most of
these books are art and music related and will be
shelved on the ground floor in a designated area
regardless of the call number.
6. The library has dropped 12 periodicals and has
added 13 new titles. This is close to a one-to-one
trade so the library and Jhe departments were still
able to stay within the resource allocation for each
department.
Sufficient funds to have all the periodicals bound
are not available so a priority check has been set up
based on:
(a) indexing
(b) cost to have volumes bound
(c) table of contents
(d) whether or not the periodical can stand by
itself
II. Brief discussion on the budget.
