Page 2, The Salemite, February 25,1983 Fihancial Problems? Finances seem to be a continual problem for most of Salem’s publications and organizations - and The Salemite is no ex ception. At a recent Publications Board meeting it was decided that The Salemite should only print three issues this semester. Because of the reduced funds from SGA these three issues are all that we can afford. It is discouraging to me that the funds given to The Salemite from SGA this year were considerably less than the funds received last year. Prices couaiuciaw f onsts have actually considerably less than the funds received last year. Prices purpose of "The Oracle" is w mvoive today's certainly have not dropped - our printing costs have actually nl' Lk, Jarr^s Bray, professor of rispn since last year. . .. world, aroun or ey ho nuKt twentv-five years. Obviously the financial problems of Salem’s organizations and publications will not be easily solved. The student body and SGA must take a closer look at where our priorities lie. Responsible decisions must be made on the allocation of available funds. I feel The Salemite is an important part of this Actually, the years oi my leuuxc ““7.7““;""" e of history college and that our problems Reserve more atten^ I am. for example, much more respectpresidents 'Education, addresses the changes at Salem in the past twenty-five years.

Board’s constitution was amended last spring to involve more people • a student representative from each class and four at- large faculty members. All done in hopes of /^proving communication between the pubUcations, students and the faculty and also to increase participation on the publications. As the recently resigned 1982-83 Pub. Board Chairman I do not believe the changes have accomplished their goals More people on the board has simply meant it is that much harder to get a quorum present in order to conduct any business The attendance policy also amended last spring has not decreased absenteeism of board members. I applaud President Watson and Legislative Board s recent action in examining campus clubs and recommending that the Snet ones be aUowed to die. I hope that they continue to examine campus social activities - the Big Four, SAC, and April Arts issue - and that a better solution and more workable one than CAC is found for improving those organizations function.

Box A day can be made or shot •g 1 fVaoi mnet by looking in your very own There is a ritual that most Looking and of us engage in daily here at nothing produces the Salem - the pilgrimage to the y^hological affect of a door post office. It seldom matters j^gj^g giammed in your face, what is actually in one s box - jjj^y^ng the phone bill or bank the fact that you checked It IS ” . . .. what counts. Many feel somewhat guilty if they go the route empty-handed, so you will usually see a fellow student toting something with her as she walks to the PO. A day at Salem is not complete until we have heard the Church bell chime and gone to the post office. One we have no control over, the other controls us. A student may be late to class, dinner, or the “Guiding Light’’, but a simple “I was checking my box” is considered a suf- fucient excuse. Phil, the Postman, says he puts mail out twice a day, consequently causing some fanatics to to tl)e Cbitor Dear Editor, All students, especially sophomores and seniors who are contemplating a career choice or graduate program are encouraged to attend a Graduate - Career Panel Discussion on February 27, at 4:00 p.m., in Bitting Reception Room. Former graduates from Salem will be speaking about how they chose their career or graduate program, how Salem helped them in making their decision and other important issues to consider when making choices about long term goals. Please come and listen to the speakers! sincerely, Arete Wanted: Pen Pals Dear Editor, I am an inmate at Clinton Correctional Facility in carcerated for a number of years now and I have been untouched by intelligent societal contact for just as long. ^ Due to my situation, those that I have known best and loved most have continued to pursue their own lives without further thought of a friend who once shared many happy and enlightening moments with them, making my existence here lonely and completely meaningless. In order to attempt to remedy my predicament, have directed this letter to your attention in the hopes that you would be kind enough to publish it so I might have the chance to correspond with an open minded individual from your institution. At this time I personally don’t know what else to say- j could list my age, hobbies ano special interests, but I can not see what my interests wouio have in association with » human heart responding to the intense loneliness that lingers within my heart. I truly hope that there someone who could perhap find the time to lend a hand to help keep a mind from falling into a perpetual abyss whicn fosters antisocial behavior- Very truly yours- Frederick W.
