Editorial
Meeting Minutes
It’s a very important time of year in the
Salem College year. Room drawing has
dominated the week with Lehman Hall seeing
more students cross its threshold than any
other time of the year. Dean Johnson, as
usual, is trying her hardest to keep everyone
happy and satisfied with their new en
vironments for next year.
It is also a time when many students are
finalizing plans to transfer. If plans are
already made, we can only wish them luck,
but if not, we can encourage them to stay.
With all the speeches we hear about what
Salem has to offer, these words can only be
appreciated through staying and seeing what
she can offer.
Letters
Letter to the Editor:
There are obviously several people who take
great interest in cats at Salem. All the cats we have
hosted here have been taken care of. They have
been spayed, fed or delivered s afely to a new home.
Several of the faculty made contributions so that
Dr. Dorothy Kalet (Ard-Vista Animal Qinic) could
spay Campus Kitty.
I think the students should contribute something
too. Dr. David Harris and his associates at Abri
Veterinary Hospital have graciously taken care of
most of our cats without charge. I doubt whether
they have even figured the total cost due them.
To show our appreciation, Gail Moore suggested
that we take up a collection from the students (even
if it is only $.25) and make a donation to the Forsyth
County Humane Society in Dr. Harris’ name.
The Humane Society helps find homes for stray
animals through a referral system. They also in
vestigate people who are cruel to animals, and see
that the laws protecting animals are enforced.
Anyone interested in making a contribution
should see Gail Moore, Mary Ann Tuggle, or
Carolyn McCollum.

LEGISLATIVE BOARD MEETING
March 30,1981
Spring always attacks students with waves
of laziness. Warm air somehow makes classes
gloomier and more boring than ever, and
many students begin to count the days until
final exams. Actually spring at Salem is a
beginning instead of an ending. Officers are
installed for next year and assume their
responsibilities right away. These new leaders
have the responsibility of planning for next
year and making all of us look forward to the
great things that will be accomplished.
I. Vice-President Marakas called the meeting to
order.
II. Vice-President Marakas explained the most
recent constitutional amendment concerning the
Recall Board. After a few questions and some
discussion, the members of Legislative Board voted
on the adoption of this constitutional amendment
and it was passed.
III. Some new business was brought up by
Laverne Hales. She proposed that the Chairman of
Interdorm be able to chose her room prior to room
drawing. Presently, the President of SGA and the
Chairman of Honor Council have this priority in the
selection of rooms. Until this year the Chairman of
Interdorm was not elected by the entire student
body, and she did not serve on Executive Board,
Legislative Board and Honor Council. Legislative
Board members voted on this proposal and it was
passed.
IV. It was announced that Legislative Board will
meet next Monday, April 6, to go over the Student
Budget; if it is accepted it will be presented to the
SGA meeting on April 9. The old and new members
of Legislative Board will meet together on April 13.
V. With no further business, the meeting was
adjourned.
I also will be giving up my job as editor. As a
junior, I had not had as much experience
working on a newspaper as someone else may
have had. I wanted the responsibility,
however, and I hope I have done a fairly good
job in keeping up with the news. I have en
joyed working on the newspaper and wish next
year’s editor much luck.
Respectfully submitted,
Katie Davis
SGA Secretary

To the Editor:
Mrs. Snow has suggested that I write a letter to
The Salemite, discussing what the Home
Economics Senior Seminarhasbeen considering- a
change in the name of the Home Economics
Department.
. As a bit of background. Dr. Morrill has requested
her to for m a committee for this purpose as he feels
a name change may be in order. This she has done
and it will be considering the change of name after
spring break. Thank you so much,

April
Arts

Have you heard tw
much beach music
lately? Have your
parents been inquiring
about your “cultural”
experiences and not
getting the answers they
wish to hear? Have yon
wondered if there is
more to singing ai
Salem than Archways?
If you answered yes to
any of those questions,
then you will be glad to
hear that help is on the
way. April Arts Week
will be April 20-25, and

musical entertainment
planned for Salem

the Presbyterian Home
in High Point. The
director, Mrs. Pat
Caffey, is a graduate of

lasting hope for all
music majors. The
average age of the
Rhythm Band members
is 83 and they play
“homemade” instru
ments such as prune
juice bottles, wash
boards, and vacuum
cleaner hoses. Sounds
like it will be very in
teresting!

at this time, but there
will be some musical
adventure. Wednesday

“Archways” from the j
