Textook Committee SGA Notes
by Dean Cindy Farris
The Textbook Advisory Committee received a petition from a group of 127
students requesting that a list of textbooks needed for each class be
published well in advance of final registration. The textbook room has
agreed to make this information available. Once faculty members have
made their requests for textbooks, Mary Louise Allen has indicated that she
will be happy to give students this information. Usually, such information is
available for the spring semester in January, and for the fall semester during
the summer months.
Any student interested in textbook information for a course is encouraged
to see Mary Louise Allen or Doan Cindy Farris, who will be provided with a list
of current information.
Students seeking textbook information should be aware that publishers
often make last minute changes regarding which editions are to be
published. Every attempt will be made to be sure that the information given
to students is up-to-date and accurate.
As indicated in the last edition of The Salemite, the Textbook Advisory
Committee welcomes your questions and comments. Thanks to the students
who took the time to circulate the petition.

Class Notes
The freshman class held a
meeting on Wednesday, October
12, to elect class officers. The
meeting started late because
Ronny Romm was entertaining in
the Refectory. After his
performance was over, the
freshman class meeting got under
way, and the freshmen elected the
following officers for 88-89. They
are:
Pres. Gaither Smoot
Vice Pres. Holly Walker
Secretary Anne Bumgardner
Treasurer Jennifer King
Honor Council Rep.
Mary McGinnis
The sophomore class has just
finished its second fund raiser, the
China survey. The fund raiser
brought in approximately $400 for
I he class. If class members turn in
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
their dues the class should not
have to do any more fund raising,
according to President Betsy
Saxman.
There will be a sophomore class
meeting this week to set a date for
Sophomore-Senior and to get gift
and decorations committees
oraganized.
Sophomores who have not paid
their dues, please pay them as
soon as possible.
Last Thursday, the junior class
held a hair and fashion show in
Hanes Auditorium. It was
co-sponsored by G. Carlyle Salon,
with hair and make-up done by
Gregory Carlyle and his staff.
Clothes were provided by
Anastasia Furs, Buxton's, Ski and
Tennis Station, and the Villa Rosa
Boutique. Models were Salem
College students and select staff
members. It was so much fun for
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
everyone that we're planning
another show for spring! Special
thanks to the models, all those
members of the junior class who
worked so hard, and those of you
who came out to watch.
Starting November 1, the junior
class will be selling t-shirt dresses,
splatter sweatshirts, barrettes, and
paper earrings ranging in price
from seven to forty dollars in the
Refectory. Stop by and have a look!
Despite the seniors' attempt to
deny graduation, activities forecast
their fate. While the freshmen,
sophomores, and juniors
presumably had their pictures
taken inside, the seniors gathered
in the square for environmentals.
Already bombarded with fears of
future economy attempts to break
previous class participation records
persuaded many to pledge various
sums to the college over the next
three years- broke or not! And
though anonymous gifts are
appreciated, names are required to
receive the popular leather Salem
coaster. Finally, announcements
are to be ordered next week for all
graduating. However, those in
limbo may send invitations
regardless of their plan.
Fortunately, no rule exists that
disqualifies anyone who wishes to
engage in the sacrifices of a
six-year diploma seeking
recognition. Emily Post and Dr.

Blood Mobile
by Martha Porter
Mortor Board, the national honor
society for scholarship, leadership
and service, is sponsoring a Blood
Drive on Monday, November 7, from
11 am to 3 pm in Babcock Basement.
The Red Cross is asking for Salem's
full support. Blood is in constant
demand because it can only be
stored for a very short time period.
After blood is donated, whole blood
and red cells may only be used for 45
days; and platelets, the other part of
blood, can only be stored for five
days. The Red Cross constantly
collects blood to ensure that there will
be enough blood on hand each day
for patients who are ill or undergoing
surgery.
The actual donation only takes ten
minutes. No appointment is
necessary; however, a scheduled
appointment will prevent congestion.
Potential donors must be 17 to 75
years old and weigh a minimum of
110 pounds. Donors must have a
medical history free from specified
diseases such as cancer, hepatitis,
and heart disease. In addition,
donors are screened and deferred
from donating blood if they are
involved in high risk behavior
associated with the AIDS virus.
Mortar Board encourages every
student, faculty, and staff member to
donate blood. Their goal is to obtain
65 units of blood. As an added
incentive, they are providing pizza
and refreshments for each donor. In
addition. Mortar Board is sponsoring
an ice cream sundae party for the
class with the most donors.
Upperclassmen are encouraged to
challenge the freshmen even though
they greatly outnumber all other
classes. Volunteers are still needed
to work at the blood drive. Volunteers
or anyone with questions should
contact Johanna Metzgar or Michele
Brennan, the co-chairmen of the
Blood Drive.
