THE BELLES
SEPTEMBER, 1982
NEWCOMERS TO ST. MARY’S
by Karen Lado .
During the first few days
of school, it seems that
everywhere you look you see
new faces. Not only are there
many new students, but
several people have joined the
St. Mary’s staff as well.
Among these are Young-He
Richards, Pia Price and
Sandy Briscar.
Mrs. Young-He Richards
occupies the position of
Assistant Cataloguer-
Reference Librarian in Kenan
Library. She was born and
raised in Seoul, the capital of
South Korea. As an
undergraduate, Mrs.
Richards studied English
Literature because she
“enjoyed the challenge of
learning ■ about Western
culture . through its
predominant language.”
In 1%7, Mrs. Richards
came to' tlje U.S. to study
library science at UNC-CH.
Although shd found life In the
U.S. to be very different and
strange, she went on to
complete her master’s degree
and now lives in Raleigh with
her husband and four year old
son. In the future she hopes to
be able to earn a more
advanced degree in English
Literature, and perhaps
return to Korea as a college
professor.
At the library, Mrs.
Richards will spend part of
her time cataloguing books.
She will also work directly
with the students, answering
questions and helping them to
find information for term
papers and reports. Mrs.
Richards urges the students to
take advantage of the
facilities available, and not to
be shy about asking the
librarians for help.
Like Mrs. Richards, Mrs.
Pia Price was born outside the
U.S. She lived her first years
in Sorrento, Italy, before
moving to Durham at the age
of 14. She attended Duke and
later NCSU, where she
received a master’s degree in
special education. Mrs. Price
is very enthusiastic about her
new job, and looks forward to
getting to know the girls. In
fact, she regrets “not having
twenty-four hours a day to
spend here.”
Mrs. Price is the person to
see if you have any problems
with your dorm room. As
director of housing, she
assigns new students to their
rooms, and tries to solve any
roommate problems.
Furthermore, she organizes
the Student Development
programs that will occur
throughout the year,
beginning with the talk on
BEHIND THE DESK
(Continued from Page 3)
mood of quiet expectation, of hopeful
attentiveness, of waiting upon God which
underlies all worship.
It has surely come clear by now on
which side rtiy sentlmehts lie. Despite the
high Initial cost, the organ will be a good
buy In the long run; the Kney Company
has a fine reputatlon--it built the new
organ at Christ Episcopal In Charlotte--
and would produce an Instrument St.
Mary's could be proud of. Such a large
sum, though, cannot come easily; a few
car washes, bake sales, and small
memorials will not raise sufficient funds.
Our best hope Is for a large gift, perhaps
from an alumna, perhaps memorializing
an alumna. Let us hope that such funds
come quickly. I look forward to the day
when I will not be ashamed to tell my
friends about the St. Mary's organ and
when, in the words of Milton, we can
.... let the pealing organ blow
To the full voiced choir below.
In the service high and anthems clear.
As may with sweetness, through mine
ear.
Dissolve me into ecstasies.
And bring all heaven before mine eyes.
Douglas Murray
Instructor, Department of English
crime prevention on
September 8. Further
programs may include
discussion about alcohol
awareness and career
development, as well as an on-
campus exercise program.
Since then, she has worked at
different colleges in Virginia
and Ohio before moving to
Raleigh with her husband.
Mrs. Sandy Briscar, the
new Director of College
Relations, is a native North
Carolinian. She was born in
Smithfield, and majored in
communications at NCSU.
As Director of College
Relations, she is responsible
for all publicity on the radio,
television and in the
newspapers. She also directs
the publication of St. Mary’s
brochures and catalogues as
well as putting out the weekly
Close-Up. Mrs. Price likes the
fact that her job keeps her
busy, but regrets that she has
not been able to get to know
many students. She will,
however, be working with the
SGA and student body on the
Lighting of the Green, and
hopes to get as many girls
involved as possible.
'The Belles staff would like
to welcome these and all the
other new members of the St.
Mary’s staff. We hope you
have a wonderful year!

NEW DISPLAYS IN THE
ST. MARY’S LIBRARY
Students and faculty are
invited to visit two displays in
the St. Mary’s Library. From
the 6-16th of September the

Rabon Award tray, a gift of
the St. Mary’s Alumnae
Association in honor of Mrs.
Jane Augustine Rabon, Class

years as the Alumnae
Director for St. Mary’s. On the
back of the tray is to be
engraved the name of the
winner of the Rabon Award,
given ahniially to that staff
member of The Belles who
contributes the most to the
excellence of that publication.
The 1981 winner was Miss
Anna Tate, the daughter of
Prof. John Tate of the
Department of English; the
1982 winner was Miss
Elizabeth Stuart “Foo”
Vaeth, author of the well-
known column entitled “In a
Grove of Stately Oak Trees.”
On about the 17th of
September the library will
begin to display artifacts frbni
Thailand from the private
collection of Dr. Charlotte

English. Dr. Jones and her

and 1%9. The display will
feature jewelry, books,
pictures, crafts, and cloth.

gathering information early in
order to make a well
informed, wise choice of fields
- one which will yield a
comfortable income, an
adequate measure of job
satisfaction and a sense of
control over one’s future.
Finally, a few caveats:
Take time to choose a major
carefully.
Make the decision based on
knowledge of yourself.
Be realistic about
expectations of the working
world.
Be flexible; if one makes a
mistake, it Is rarely
irreversible.
Utilize the facilities
available now and reduce the
likelihood of uninformed
choices.
Listen to others; think about
their ideas; but make
responsible choices for
yourself.
