THE TWIG
April 16, 1954 ‘
Behind the Doors of the S. G. Council
BY NANCY BROWN
Well, the council must have
spring fever along with everybody
else, because there isn’t very much
news for you this time. Becky Cal
loway and Nancy Doherty reported
to you about their trip to the Stu
dent Government Convention at
Florida State University in Tallahas
see, Florida. According to all reports
they must have had a wonderful
time, and I know they got some
ideas that will be valuable to them
next year.
The Council has spent some time
trying to clarify the statement in
the handbook about married students
living on campus. You know that to
live on campus as a married student
you must have Miss Fleming’s per
mission, and you must have your
correct name on all your records.
If these requirements aren’t met, it
is falsification of your records and
you are living on the campus under
false pretenses. This is a very serious
matter, and we wanted to be sure
that it was clearly stated in the
handbook so that no one would
misunderstand it, especially since
spring is bringing its traditional ro
mance to our campus.
If you were in chapel Tuesday
morning, you saw the installation of
the new council. They will begin to
attend meetings immediately and
the new officers will assume their
duties on Monday, May 3. How
ever, the old council will still retain
the voting power while the new
council looks on in order to learn.
This is sort of a training period for
your new council so that they
won’t go into their duties next fall
unprepared, and we think it helps
a great deal.
Last time, I told you about our
celebration of getting into our new
home. Well, this time we aren’t cele
brating anything in particular (ex
cept maybe the warm weather),
but the council has decided to go
to the S & W to eat one night. We
are having as our guests Dr. and
Mrs. Campbell and our advisory
committee. Miss Fleming, Dr. and
Mrs. Crook, and Mr. and Mrs. Col
son. We are looking forward to a de
lightful time and some good food,
and we wish that all of you could
be with us.
Guess this is all for this time. I’ll
be back ’long about May Day with
some more S. G. news.
DR. PRIESTLEY ADDRESSES
Susilee Reynolds
Presents Art Exhibit
Susilee Jane Reynolds, five-and-
one-half-year-old daughter of Mr.
Douglas Reynolds, head of the Mere
dith College art department, gave
an art exhibit that opened on
April 6. Her pictures included work
done both in the realistic and ab
stract. It was given as an example
of art done by a pre-school child.
It was “not selected for artistic merit,
but to demonstrate what expres
sion is like’’ in a child of that age.

“Agrarian Problem in Mexico,”
“The Proposed Federation of the
British West Indies,” “The Role of
Agriculture in the Argentine,” and
“Some Problems and Achievements
of Pan-Americanism.” He holds
that one should always take an un
known subject for such a piece of
work thus broadening one’s field of
knowledge.
Living in a suitcase with no
family is one of the sacrifices Dr.
Priestley has made for his work. His
parents have lived in a small sea-
coast town in England since their
former home was destroyed during
the war. Here Dr. Priestley spends
as much time as he can take from
his work each year, three tnonths if
he is very lucky.
As historian, author, lecturer and
world traveler. Dr. Priestley has
contributed much to international
relations. He has been associated
with UNESCO and various other
similar organizations. He is espe
cially interested in the fight against
illiteracy, disease, hunger, and pov
erty in the underdeveloped areas of
the world and in the problems of
land reform.

Spring is here—and with it comes
the graduation recitals of the senior
music majors. Recent recitalists were
Betty Ann Miller, organist; Mar
jorie Anne Barnes, pianist; and Jean
Batten, organist. Other seniors who
will present recitals in the near future
include Betty Lou Olive, organ;
Betty Joyce Sanderlin, piano; Sara
Blalock, voice; Mary Bryan Reid,
voice; and Carolyn Hall, voice. A
joint recital will be presented by
Rose Rummage, voice; Mary Jane
Warrick, voice; and Jackie Am
mons, piano.
In the spring, it is said that our
minds turn to thoughts of poetry
and all the beauty unfolding about
us. Since music is so completely an
expression of this beauty and loveli
ness, it is natural that we should
find many thoughts expressed of
music and its qualities. Lord Byron
has said;
There’s music in the sighing of a
reed;
There’s music in the gushing of a
rill;
There’s music in all things, if men
had ears;
Their earth is but art echo of the
spheres.
And doleful dumps the mind op
press.
Then music with her silver sound
With speedy help doth lend re
dress.
Sidney Lanier feels: “Music is
love in search of a word!” And Ed
ward Elgar has said: “My idea is
that there is music in the air, music
all around us; the world is full of
it, and you simply take as much as
you require.” With all this beauty
about us, we all must feel as this
poet did. It is the expression of
spring:
All nature’s music is lovely,
Music so wond’rous rare;
Its melody, rhythm, harmony.
Gloriously fill the air.
On March 29 a Young Demo
crat’s Club was organized on cam
pus. A group of students together
with Ed Davenport of Nashville,
Y.W.C. College, as organizer, Mr.
Charles Gold, State Commissioner
of Insurance, and Miss Mary Mc
Gee, met in the hut. Dr. Lemmon is
sponsor of the new club and officers
are: president, Edith Johnson; first
vice-president, Earlene Martin; sec
ond vice-president, Pat Bowen;
secretary, Mary Frances Colston;
treasurer, Gertrude Bissette; mem
bership chairman, Polly Richardson.

It is within us. Shakespeare has

The man that hath no music in
himself.
Nor is not mov’d with concord of
sweet sounds.
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and
spoils;
The motions of his spirit are dull
as night.
And his affections dark as Erebus;
Let no such man be trusted.
What powers lie in music. Shakes
peare has expressed it thus:
When gripping grief the heart doth
wound.
Luncheon was served in the col
lege dining hall at 12:30. At 1:30
Dr. Carlyle Campbell gave the
