campaign was held with the
theme “Elect Senator Astro, The
Peoples’ Choice.” A parade fea

Senator Astro as portrayed by
Marjorie Joyner. Astro mem
bers followed carrying election
banners. Freshmen were given
rides around the campus and
candy kisses from the Senator.
A campaign speech made on the
Johnson Hall steps ended the
election activities.
Astro “Stars of Beauty” were
featured during the dinner
hour on Friday. The group was
composed of Astros who have
been members of the May Court.
Taking part were Shirley
Powell, Jeanne Dickens, Dot
Childress, Virginia Bowman,
Jane Lassiter, Gladys Greene,
and Flo Moore. Jimmy Capps,
star of the radio program, “Our
Best To You,” presented a pro

The week of rushing was

PRIZE BLUNDERS
OF THE WEEK
Marianna Morris declares she
found the following note on a
senior’s door:
“Phyllis, if you can champ-
erone’ two freshmen Friday
night. Come by 1—Stringfield.
We can get you a date.”
Whew! What a job the English
Department is in for!
And then there was the one
about the poor freshman who
said she’d already enrolled here
before they told her about the
rains. . . .
Two Graduates Apply
For Music Degrees
Two Meredith graduates, Vir
ginia Campbell of Raleigh, and
Joy Stillwell of Sylva, have re
turned to Meredith to study for
their Bachelor of Music degree.
Both girls majored in piano and
public school music and received
their Bachelor of Arts degree
last June.
A year of work beyond that
required to hold a Bachelor of
Art degree must be completed to
get the Bachelor of Music de
gree.
The best one of all, however
is about the sweet young thing
who was overheard talking
about her Hall Protractor. . . .
College is confusing, isn’t it?
