Editorial
As the bathing suit season draws near, most
Salem girls start to fear those first few days on
Babcock Beach. What do you do if 1.) You can’t
even fit into your bathing suit? 2.) Boys come peep
over the fence? 3.) Or you get invited for a swim
weekend and you feel sort of silly in your jeans and
a sweatshirt? As much as students may complain
about the food at Salem, obviously no one of us is
starving.
As Bill Bixby says on the “Dietac” commercial,
“Losing weight, it’s America’s favorite pastime.’’
He goes on to say how many people start diets and
stop them soon after. I guess there are three
problems associated with lack of willpower at
Salem. These problems are that we have easy
access to too many fattening foods, that we are
subject to peer pressure, and that we don’t get
enough exercise.
With the help of P.T.A., Pizza Express, and now
Mama Mia’s, food is brought right to our greedy
little hands without even the exercise of walking to
the car. These places and the fast food restaurants
are so convenient that we often forget that our
Daddys have paid for our meal at Salem and in
most cases are also paying for the Wendy’s single
we feel we can’t live without.
Peer pressure plays an important role because,
of course, you can’t let your friend ride to Wendy’s
in the dark all by herself. And if three girls want a
pizza, it would be disloyal not to go in with them;
not only to help them eat it, but to pay for it, and to
divide the pieces evenly (very important reasons
for stuffing your face). Another point of peer
pressure, and I hope I don’t offend anyone, is that
we can compare ourselves to the other 500 girls
around us. If we see that a majority of girls are
larger than we are, then we feel maybe our problem
isn’t as bad as we first imagined.
The third problem is exercise. In high school,
most of us were forced to play some sort of sport
during the year. Even though P.E. is required at
Salem it is only as strenuous as a student wants to
make it. And a common problem is rewarding
yourself with food because you feel you’ve worked
off some calories.
These problems don’t apply to everyone at
Salem. There are girls that amaze me and stick to a
balanced diet. Those girls who “eat whatever they
want and never gain a pound’’ were just born lucky.
For the rest of us -- we have a good sijc weeks before
spring break, and close to three months before
summer to make up our minds. Maybe the refec
tory will take a hint and put in a Weight Watcher’s
line or the Scarsdale food. If not, we just need to
keep our mouths closed and concentrate on being
able to sunbathe unembarrassed on a beach other
than Babcock.

Help Them and They’ll Help You
Concerning the letter
to the editor in the
Christmas issue of The
Salemite some un
derlying facts have been
discovered. A major
concern of Larry
Upshaw’s, our 24-hour
head of security, is “the
lack of clarity in the
beeper calls. The
complaint made on Nov.
11 at 7:00 p.m. was
legitimate. The problem
with the complaint was
that the girl called the
security to front campus
- and front campus
extends from Dr.
Morrill’s administrative
office down to Gramley
Dorm.” Larry feels that
if a girl gives a clear
location, then one of the
three security guards
can surely fulfill the
request. A security
guard did apprehend the
intoxicated man and he
was taken over by
police.
Concerning the dark
office on Nov. 6, 13, and
20, Larry said, “Salem
has three guards, two to
patrol and one to answer
calls in the office. I was
in the office the evening
of the 6th doing guard
evaluations, and the
lights were on. On oc
casion if a guard is sick
they may be patrolling,
but I have a beeper.
I asked him if it is
kept on 24 hours and he
chuckled,-“Just ask my
wife.”
Larry calls the
security office if he
hears the same call
twice.
Larry feels an in’’
portant fact was left o®
of the moped scandal
The moped was not
locked. “With no chains
or rattling noise, ho#
hard could it have been
to take. As for the
guards, they may have
not been patrolling the
Main Hall area at that
time.”
He feels Salem guards
are security, not pblio?'
“Three guards
enough. They range
from 21 years old to "d'
The 70 year olds are
extremely dependable
too.” ,
It is evident tba
Larry is doing ®
‘bionic” job for Salei®
He is always open
ideas and suggestions
