The Meiedidi Miler is a great way to do it MRA sponsors this program which has three components tt) it One may walk, jog, bike, or swim eidier seventy*five, one* hundred, OT one-hundred fifty miles by the end of the school year. TtKre is even a program for those who prefer aerobics. Those who complete their goals by the end of the year will receive a Meredith Miler tee shik So, let’s get out there and show support for our Mei^th Recreation Asso ciation — and get in shape at the same dme! Some things to keep in mind as you are walking, jogging, or biking: (l)Stretch out before you begi^ This wiU avoid cramps, strains, and qvuns. (2VUways wear something white or fluo rescent so that you are very viable to those in cars. (3) Walk, jog, or bike with the trafBc. (4) Always walk, jog, or bike with some one else, esp^ially If you are out at night (5)If you are insistent on being alone when you are out, let your roommate know where you are and about how kmg you expect to be gone, just in case of an accident (6) Keep on the roads where there is plenty of light Do not go into aieas whm it is impossible for security to easily see you. (7) It is always a good idea to carry a whistle with you just in case you should need to summon ^Ip. Remember, these things are not just picky littte things. They are all very impor tant in assuring your safety as you walk, jog, or bike around campus. In any case, it is better to be safe than sorry. Golfers fare well in tournament The White Swan: a review by Melanie Eisele The Meredith College golfers attended the 10th Annual Longwood College Invi tational Tournament last weekend. Coach Mark Tharrington seemed pleased with the ladies* play. Shelly Paul, according to Mark, is the team-s strong^t player. He said, “Shelly played well, consistent; her scores of 80.84, and 81 are good for that course.” He also voiced his confidence that Shelly has as good a chance as anyone to finish in the top 3 in any tournament this season. Jennirfer Guyer gready improv^ her play on the last day of the tournament She is playing in the second position on Meredth’s team. The Longwood Invita tional was freshman Tracy Sternberg's first tournament The loumament |Moved a good experience for her, and Mark said that 'Tracy excellently for a beginner."* The tournament weekend was highligh ted by a banquet which features dinner, door prizes for each of the tournament participants, and a slide show of a golf' outing u> Sratland. Meredith’s next tour nament is September 26>28 at James Mad ison. Mafk lus £^ked, once again, for play ers. He is anxious for Meredi A to be ^le to enter tournaments as a team. Maxk will also offer help to anyone wishing to play.

The room is dimly lit, making for a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Most of the tables are back to back, but they are set up booth-style with high partitions between them, so it’s fairly private considering the size of the room. The tables and seats are wood which reminds you of a quaint English pub. The attire fOT the White Swan is basi cally casual. Anything from jeans to a cas ual dress would be appropriate in such a comfortable atmosphere. The food, although probably not exqui site, is good. The menu consists of sand wiches of all kinds, lasagne, spaghetti, and pizza. My personal favorite is the taco pizza, for which you need plenQr of nap- feis! If you prefer Sweet-n-Low to sugar in your tea, you might consider bringing your own; can be slightly stingy with theirs. The prices are about average. A medium piTza is around $8.00, and sandwiches, depending on kind and size, are usually $3.00-$4.00. Overall^ I would definitely recommend the White Swan Restaurant and Bar for an enjoyable and relaxed evening out Meredith to nominate 3 for Harry S. Truman Scholarship Meredith sophomores interested in a career in government service at the fed- eral, state, or local level are invited to apply for a 1987 Harry S. Truman Scholar^p.
