Manners
At Table
Explained
By MARIE ELLIOTT
Assistant Director of Health Services
Back in the old days children were
given rigid instruction in good table
manners. Most of the instruction was on
the negative side with a great number
of don’ts. Seldom was a reason given
for the don’ts, except to do as you were
told.
Some of these don’ts were: (1) Don’t
comb your hair in the dining room or
kitchen. (2) Don’t put any object other
than food and the necessary serving
utensils on the dining table. (3) Don’t do
or say anything repulsive to any one
else at the table. ( This one had a
reason. It might upset someone’s diges
tion.)
In the present day we have reasons
for the don’ts. (1) Combing the hair
could cause broken ends and dandruff
to fall on the food. (2) Objects that have
been in contact with the earth could
contain larvae that become worms in
the intestinal tract, when swallowed.
Clothing could be infested with pediculi
(hce) or the microscopic sized
organism that causes scabies (itch).
(3) Can anyone imagine anything much
worse for the digestions, or the enjoy
ment of food than reasons one and two?
Breakdowns
Cut Service
Damage to college owned washers
and dryers is the main reason why such
services have not been available in the
men’s dorms.
This informatin was passed to SGA
president Sam Clark in a meeting with
Ben Sutton, business manager, and
Jack Hassell, superintendent of
buildings and grounds.
Hassell and Sutton said that over the
Christmas break repairmen fixed the
machines they had parts for. Other
machines were fixed on January 20.
Two timing devices, valued at $100
each, were broken in Parker the week
after Christmas break and were replac
ed with ones on stock. Three lounge
chairs were thrown out of Parker about
the same time, they said.
Hassell and Sutton said that head
residents are not reporting the break
downs which are usually reported by
maintenance men working in the
dorms.
WASHINGTON, D.D. (CH) - Within
the next few weeks several organiza
tions representing the nation’s colleges
are expected to come to an agreement
on the royalty fees the institutions will
pay for music played on their cam
puses. As of January 1, when a new
copyright law went into effect, colleges
are liable for royalties to the publishers
of music played at such events as foot
ball half time shows and concerts.
Under the old copyright law-profit
organisations were exempt from the
fee.
Lawyers representing the educa
tional associations, including the
American Council on Education, have
been meeting with representatives of
the three organizations which collect
royalty fees and distribute payments to
the individual publishers.
The latest compromise calls for a fee
of from five and one half-cents to six
cents per students enrolled to be paid
each year of the two largest publishers’
licensing organizations, ASCAP and
BMI. In addition, concerts involving
over $1,000 would pay an additional fee
of about one cent per seat to each licen
sing society.
The smallest of the three, SESAC,
would collect only one and one-half
cents per student per year.
An institution would have to pay all
three licensing societies in most cases.
Institution would have to pay all three
licensing societies in most cases. In-
stituions will be free to negotiate in
dividual contracts if they do not wish to
accept the national model contract. All
institutions, however, as “proprietors
of the facility” would be liable for
severe penalties if music is performed
publicly — live or recorded — on their
compuses without some licensing
agreement.
Although the licensing agencies have
established a moratorium on collecting
the fees, any agreement made will be
retrocative to January 1, and royalties
for music played during the
moratorium will be due.

unofficially the second leading scorer in
the Region 10 women’s basketball con
ference.
The leading scorer in the Region 10
conference is Sarah Leonard of Mt.
Olive College who averaged 25 points a
game, she was followed by Debra Britt

seven rebounds a game, Coach Roy
Winslow said.
Following Britt in the Lady Braves
scoring ranks were Darlene Nichols,
Gwenda Jones, and Kim Claytor. They
averaged nine, eight, and six points
respectively. Averaging two points
were Jane Parrish, Shema Payne, and
Cathy Somers, Winslow added.
Winslow and the Lady Braves finish
ed their season on February 23, with a
5-13 record and placed ninth in the
