THE TWIG IVetDspaper of the Students of Nieredith College VOL. LIII, NO. 13 MEREDITH COLLEGE, RALEIGH, N.C. FEBRUARY 8, 1979 Burhans speaks on Love by Nancy Newton Dr. David Burhans, chaplain at the University of Richmond, Virginia, ad dressed the Meredith College campus on the subject of “Love ... Becoming and Doing” for Religious Em phasis Week under the auspices of Meredith Chris tian Association. The purpose of the week’s activities was “to make” one “more aware of the emotion of love and how it is expressed to oneself, to others, and ultimately to God.” Central questions examined were, “What is the basis of love?”. “Have you learned to express your love?”, and “Do you realize that you must first love yourself before you can at tempt to love others?”. Dr. Burhans examined love as a living and growing state of being. He explained that “all people need to be loved, and if we are not, it results in a disease called loneliness. In today’s society, with high population rates, one would think that relationships would be easy to establish; however, we have proximity without com munity. We must live in this tension filled society, huddled together, isolated and frustrated. The answer to this situation is God’s buddy system.” According to Dr. Burhans, “Christ on the cross is God’s way of saying, ‘Whoever finds this, I love you.’” To be able to reach out to others in love, however, one must “think enough of oneself and the needs of other in dividuals to let a relationship flower.” This can happen as Dr. Burhans suggest^ “only through a relationship with Jesus Christ.” Christ is our chief example of love in the active form. “He did not just Dr. David Burhans teach about love; he loved. He did not talk about friendship; he was a friend. He did not talk about live; he lived. We, as Christians, must learn to reach out and be sensitive, regardless of the roadblocks of life.” Diary of Anne Frank A carefree girl grows up among hardship by Marlene Debo The play The Diary of Anne Frank is based on the book Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl written between 1942 and 1944 by an adolescent whose family was hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam. Anne is a carefree 13- year-old daughter of middle class parents who is just beginning to feel the longings and growing pains of adolescence. She has a large circle of friends, gets out a lot with groups, and goes steady with a different boy every week. But Anne’s experience becomes very different when the Nazis gain control of Amsterdam in 1942. Because Anne’s family is Jewish, they go into hiding to escape death or being sent to a con centration camp. They are provided with f(^ and taken care of by some of her father’s employees. For two years the family shares the cramped quarters with four others. Privacy is almost impossible, food is scarce, and no noise or movement is possible during the day when the office workers are downstairs. In this unnatural at mosphere, Anne continues her difficult journey through adolescence. We see the common problem of com munication with her parents, her search for her identity in a chaotic world, and her first experience with love. This girl’s unique story of adolescence experienced in four rooms, while hiding from a world of hate and destruction, makes exciting reading and a special drama. On Feb. 15,. 16 and 17 the Meredith drama department will present The Diary of Anne Frank at 8 p.m. in Jones Auditorium. Advance tickets are $1.50 for students and $2.50 for adults and may be pur chases in 243 Jones at these times: Mon. - Fri. Feb. 12-16, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Tickets at the door will be $2 for students and $3 for adults. Plans, dates set for housing drawing process by Sarah Williams After recent registration fees, many students are questioning the an nouncement calling for another hundred dollars by February 15 and the process of housing drawing. The money is a necessity for reserving a dormitory room for each returning student. On February 15 the figure of these students will be given to the admissions office in order to determine how many transfer students and Freshman can be accepted. Meredith students have priority. Housing drawings will be held in April from 2:00-5:00 at the Cate Center: 17th for Rising Seniors, 19th for Rising Juniors, and the 24th for Rising Sophomores. The process begins with the Rising Mike Blaylock, quitarist and chaplain of the Kansas City Royals presented the REW concert Thursday, Feb. 1 in Jones Auditorium. He recently released an album, “Yesterday is Gone” and is active in Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Seniors who have paid their deposit. One person representing her suite will draw a number indicating their suite’s preference in selecting rooms. Seniors usually prefer Heilman and-or Barefoot. Juniors fill any extra spaces along with Poteat, Faircloth, or Brewer Residence Halls. Sophomores again fill extra spaces as well as Faircloth and Brewer Residence Halls. Separate drawings will be held for Hall Proctors and their suitemates. Joyce White, Dean of Students, recommends that suites be established and that students visit halls in order to be familiar with the floors and rooms prior to the drawing. For students who have not decided on a roommate and-or suitemates, the Dean of Students Office will sponsor a .Roommate Rendezvous. This process is one in which a student can “advertise” for a roommate and also become acquainted with others in the same situation by coke sessions, etc. Evaluations taken by the Dean of Students prove that most students transfer for reasons of marriage, pursuit of their major and finance.
