Page four 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. VILLAGE THEATRE CAMERON VILLAGE NOW PLAYING SHELLEY WINTERS KEENAN DEWEY WYNN : MARTIN — in TENNESSEE CHAMP" In Ansco Color Print by Technicolor (Continued from page one) “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. ^arfe, tfjc Angels ^ing Leah Scarborough, Music Edkor 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.

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.
