In fact, the Athletic Association will present a beauti ful hockey stick to the most out standing freshman player of the season. This event will take place on November 1, 1950. Anyone who attends hockey practices receives points toward becoming a member of the Mon ogram Club. These practices are to teach you all the tricks of playing hockey, and the various teams are selected from this group. When are practices? They are every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 5 p.m. sharp. The teams which will grow out of this group are: the class teams, the Astro team, the Phi team, and the varsity team.

C. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION APPROVES CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR YEAR The Athletic Association has approved its official calendar of events for the coming year. These dates have been scheduled after giving careful attention to all other college events of the season; it is hoped that the stu dents will also approve this choice of times. The annual Corn Huskin’ Bee has been set for October 20, only two weeks from today. All new students should be warned to dust off their sunbonnets and bandanas for this great event, for square dancing and authentic costumes are in style. If you are proficient at the arts of hog-call- ing, chicken-calling, and shuck ing corn, make yourself known to your class president right away, for your artistry will come in handy—and you’ll help your class to win.

FOLK DAXCE CLUB SCHEDULES EVENTS Skipping, stamping, whirling, and hopping—what do those words remind you of? Dancing? Well, you are absolutely right. One of our favorite organiza tions, the Folk Dance Club, has already begun working on its programs for the year. Barbara Pearson, the manager, has given us some of the plans they have made.

Fol lowing that, the club will be busy preparing dancing pro grams of different countries The Meredith International Relations Club held its first meeting of the 1950-’51 school year on September 21 in the Hut. Betty Penny, president, intro duced to the new members and guests Dr. Lillian Parker Wal lace, sponsor; Margot Grimes, vice-president; Martha Holland, secretary-treasurer; and Billie Smith, program chairman. After the officers had been in troduced, Betty outlined the plans of the club for the coming year. One of the high spots of the year will be a program which will include members of the Cosmopolitan Club of North Carolina State College, plus the foreign and territorial students and faculty of Meredith. Definite plans for the program have not yet been completed, but the members of I. R. C. are eagerly looking forward to it. An election was held after the routine business was finished. Virginia Waldrop, Lynette Ad cock, and Francene King were elected to the offices of librarian, social chairman, and publicity chairman, respectively. The speaker for the evening was a man familiar to all who attended the meeting—Mr. Wes ley H. Wallace, who presented a very thought-provoking discus sion on the Far East and its cur rent problems. Mr. Wallace, son of Dr. Lillian Parker Wallace, of the Meredith history depart ment, can easily be considered an authority on the Far East, since he has made his home in the Philippine Islands for the last several years. During the re cent World War, Mr. Wallace served on General McArthur’s special staff, and, after the war, was appointed general manager of the Manilla Broadcasting Company. He has been in the United States since the spring of 1950. Lemonade and cookies were served during the question-and- answer period following Mr. Wallace’s talk, after which the meeting was adjourned. which are of current interest to the world. By the way, they are going to try doing oriental num bers for the first time. It sounds like a lot of good entertainment, doesn’t it? Throughout the year, the Folk Dance Club will be giving us programs in chapel and at vari ous school functions. Their own spring concert will take place April 7, 1951. Don’t forget that date, because you will surely en joy seeing the concert.
