INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB
OBSERVES UNITED NATIONS WEEK
By BETTY PENNY
The observance of United Na
tions Week, October 16-24, was
directed on our campus by the
International Relations Club.
This fifth anniversary of the or
ganization was of interest to all
of us in that it was used as a
point from which we could view
and approve the accomplish
ments of the past five years and
from which we could consider
the possibilities of the future.
On Thursday night, October
18, the International Rela
tions Club began observance of
United Nations Week with a
panel discussion in the Hut.
Members of the Wake Forest In
ternational Relations Club were
guests for that meeting and
added greatly to the discussion.
The panel was composed of
Betty Penny, Patsy Emory,
Marjorie Joyner, and Francene
King. Laurice Hlass also gave
her views about the entire or
ganizational set-up of the United
Nations.
These panel members dis
cussed the phases of U. N. activi
ty—political, economic, social,
and the work with non-self-gov
erning peoples. In the discussion
which followed, there seemed to
be a feeling that the United Na
tions organization is definitely
not perfect, but that our hope
for peace, and in fact, for sur
vival, lies in the success of the
U. N.
The importance of success in
each phase of endeavor was em
phasized; there was quite a de

bate on whether or not the
organization had to succeed po
litically in order to carry on its
other phases of work. After re
freshments and more discussion,
many of us went to our rooms
with new ideas and new ap
proaches to the old ideas about
the United Nations. That result
was the one hoped for; the aim
of the I. R. C. in sponsoring
U. N. Week was to educate peo
ple about the U. N. and to get
them to think constructively
about it.
During the remainder of the
week members of the I. R. C.
and Home Economics Club
worked on a U. N. flag. The ma
terials were bought by the
I. R. C. and the actual sewing
was done by members of both
clubs. U. N. Day, October 24,
climaxed the week’s observance
of the fifth anniversary of the
organization. On that day the
blue and white U. N. flag was
displayed along with “Old
Glory” in the auditorium. At
12:00 noon Raleigh church bells
rang reminding us to pause for
a moment of silent prayer for
peace.
After dinner the I. R. C. held
vespers in the Rotunda and pre
sented a program on “Peace.”
Jean Taylor and Betty Penny
participated in the program, and
Margaret Swann, representing
Sigma Alpha Iota, was in charge
Married Girls Form
New “Mrs.” Club Here
Those fortunates who have
managed to find “him” organ
ized the exclusive “MRS.” club
on October 8 in the Hut. The
girls hope that the club will help
bridge the gap between single
students and the married ones.
Since household chores consume
twenty-eight hours out of twen
ty-four, the wives have decided
that the monthly meetings
during lunch and the bi
monthly social will provide
lots of fun, but will eliminate
those “oh-gosh-club-night-don’t-
wanta-go-but gotta-go” blues.
At the meetings a future
social, which will include hus
bands and children, will be
organized, and the responsibili
ty for food and entertainment
will be on an alternating basis.
The remainder of the time will
be used to exchange unique re
ceipts, quick-meal ideas, and
time and money-saving house
hold hints.
The primary aim of the club
is to further the bliss of blissful
wedded bliss, and special help
will be given the newly-wed. In
the spring a social is planned for
those girls who will be married
in the summer; any girl plan
ning to be married in the near
future is asked to attend the
meetings, and her membership
will be automatic when she’s
“hitched.”
Reward: Twenty-five
Dollars For Play
In the old days one either had
to possess a genius’ mind or a
lucky star in order to win twen-
ty-fivfe dollars. But this year at
Meredith that unfortunate situ
ation has changed. Here is a
proposition, open to all students;
The “Acorn” and the Little
Theatre are co-sponsoring a one-
act playwriting contest. All reg
istered students at the college
and alumnae are eligible to en
ter in the competition. Deadline
to entering the original one-act
plays for the judges’ decision is
January 8, 1951. From the en
tries submitted a winning play
will be chosen to be produced
at the Spring Festival in Chapel
Hill in March, for further judg
ing. The winner of the Meredith
contest will be given twenty-five
dollars in cash by the co
sponsors.
Two rules must be observed
in the contest: first, the play, in
both idea and writing, must be
entirely original; second, the
playing-time should not exceed
30 minutes.
Anyone interested in entering
the contest or who wants more
information on the subject
should contact Micky Bowen,
president of the Little Theatre,
or Barbara Cox, who is in charge
of the event.
Ghosts and goblins Were the
theme for the Granddaughters
Club meeting held in the Hut
Thursday, October 26. Hallo
ween decorations landed a color
ful air to the occasion.
Introduction of the new mem
bers to the old was made by the
new president, Ann McRackan.
The enrollment of new grand
daughters far exceeds that of
last year. Many things have
been planned for the club as
shown by the handbook given
to each girl.
The girls have started their
program by participating in the
Needle-Work Guild, an or
ganization sponsored by the
Raleigh chapter for underprivi
leged children in Raleigh.
More than $32 was collected
from the halls which was given
to Janet Tatum and Miss Grim
mer who bought the infants
wear. A display of this was given
in the game room. This report
was given by Celia Wood, chair
man of the project.
Barbara Pearson, vice-presi
dent, gave a Halloween program
with Patsy Spiers playing the
part of the goblin. The party
came to a close with refresh
ments of apples, cokes, and
cookies.
