SALEM GIFT AND BOOK STORE 9 East Academy Street OvMT 723-1122 Tips on Choosing Majors By Susan Robinson On Wednesday, Nov. 2, there was a mandatory sophmore class meeting to discuss academic majors and their importance. Assistant Academic Dean Dorothy Russell opened the meeting last evening by stating that the program is designed to help students select their major. “The average col lege student changes her major twice,” explained Russell. Three graduates from Salem spoke last night on their majors and the business opportunities that came with them. First to speak was 1970 graduate Annie Jenkins. Jenkins came to Salem ex pecting to major in English. Unlike many students, she stuck with the English and also added a major in History. Jenkins explained that students should base their decision on what interests them. “Don’t study what you don’t enjoy,” says Jenkins. Jenkins also believes that good rapport with the faculty involved in a student’s major is very important. Jenkins went on to graduate school at Duke University to get a degree in teaching. Although she only taught for a short time, Jenkins explained that her reason for quit ting was not because she did not enjoy her teaching profession. Jenkins was of fered a job at Salem Col lege in the Admissions Department. “I only plan ned to stay ten months,” she admitted; however, her stay at Salem lasted 11 years. The next former Salem student to speak was 1981 graduate Ellen Culler. Like Jenkins, Culler ma jored in History. As a freshamn. Culler had no idea as to what she would like to major in. She decided on History because it was a subject she enjoyed. Culler also stressed the importance of choosing a field that a stu dent enjoys; however, she added that a student should be realistic about the job market. Culler is presently atten ding graduate school at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She is studying Sports in formation and Manage ment. The last student to speak was 1983 graduate Lisa Collins. She had first decided on majoring in Business Management but changed to Economics Management. Along with Economics, Collins ma jored in Sociology. Like the previous speakers, Collins stressed the importance of enjoying the field in which a students majors. A good relationship with the facul ty involved is also impor tant added Collins. Collins discussed the im portance of internships that students can obtain at Salem. Along with intern ships, independent studies look very impressive when being interviewed; “interviewers go nuts NOW APPEARING.... Ms. Pac Man and Donkey Kong Jr. Daily from 8:00 a.m. until...

She also commented that the concepts learned at Salem are very valuable. “They apply in a round about way,” she said. Collins is now working in the Trust Dept, at Wachovia National Bank. Admissions Poster By Melinda McAfee The latest achievement of the Admissions staff is soon to be unveiled: The new Salem College poster. A standard size poster suitable for framing, it is a collage composed of peo ple and campus photos. The poster will be mailed to all high school senior prospectives this month. It has been rumored that the poster may be purchased by present Salem students for an unknown sum, but no one at Admissions could verify this. Photographed by Bernard Carpenter of Rural Hall and written and coordinated by Bob Pike, the poster promises to be a pleasant representation of Salem College. Ideas Youngsters who like to create their own stock ing stuffer toys and hand- painted holiday cards will enjoy two unique items that promise many hours of youthful fun and accom plishment. With modeling kits, such as DAS, kids five years of age and up can mold ceramic-like replicas of such popular characters as the Smurfs, Heathcliff, Dungeons & Dragons fan tasy figures, cowboys and Indians, football players, space explorers and more. Each kit contains a supply of air-hardening, non-toxic modeling material, plastic molds for the various fig ures, paint brush, and col orful paints and clear var nish in individual packets that reseal themselves. The modeling material is also available in individual packs for youngsters who prefer to try their creative skills without the help of molds.
