February 25, 1949 THE TWIG Page Three Uoday. i 3aihlon ^^een Dr. Canaday now holds the undisputed title of Meredith’s absent-minded professor. He took several of the members of the Canaday Math Club over to the State College Statistics Lab. After looking everything over, the group left. Dr. Canaday offered to bring the girls back to school. But—Dr. Canaday had forgotten where he had parked his car. They looked; they walked; boys whistled. Then Dr. Canaday was asked what his license number was. It took him ten minutes to thumb through the cards in his bill-fold before he could answer. He did know, however, that his car was a black Chevrolet with a dent in the back fender. After quite a bit of looking. Dr. Canaday remem bered, and the car was found. We salute our “Absent-Minded Pro fessor.” Education Club The Education Club held its regular meeting in tUe hut on Feoruary 24. sarah Catherine Perry was in charge of an in teresting program ol present and future education in North Caro lina.

Freeman Religion Club Dr. William H. Brownlee of the Religion Department at Duke University was guest speaker for the Freeman Religion Club Friday, February 11.

MacDowell Music Club The MacDowell Music Club held its monthly meeting on Tuesday night, i'ebruary 8, at 7:00 in the auditorium. Members were thoroughly entertained, as well as instructed, by Miss Rachel Rosenberger, who dis cussed Chamber Music. Due to the fact that a new course in Chamber Music was added in the Music Department for the spring semester, the discussion was of special interest to all. To add variety and to point out many facts, Miss Rosenberger played parts of various movements from the works of the great com posers.

And the chemistry prof was trying to explain to a co-ed in his class about preservatives. “Paint is a preservative,” he said, looking at the girl’s rosy cheeks. “That should explain why you’ll probably live longer than your husband.” AN INVITATION The following invitation comes to Meredith girls from Frank Brandt, leader of the State College Outing Club: “Perhaps you’ve heard some talk about College Outing Clubs recently and wondered what it was all about. Briefly, the idea centers about an organization to provide plenty of wholesome and inexpensive outdoor recrea tion of many types, including square dances, picnics, short and long hikes, swimming, canoeing, mountain climbing, sMing, camp ing, and just about any suitable activity that you can think of. More than fifty American col leges and universities have established Outing Clubs affili ated through the Intercollegiate Outing Club Association (I.O.- C.A.). The movement started back in 1932 and, after a war time slump, is spreading again as fellows and girls of other colleges discover for themselves the real possibilities for fun and fellowship in the little time they can spare away from their books. The State College Outing Club has been given official approval by the college authorities, thus becoming the first in North Caro lina, while plans are under way at Duke, W.C.U.N.C., Carolina, and other schools. A number of Meredith stu dents have expressed interest in the idea and will have an oppor tunity to meet others with similar interests on Saturday evening, March 5. The N. C. S. Outing Club is inviting the Meredith girls to be their guests at a square dance in the Fairmont Fellowship Center about 7:30 p.m. on March 5. (Be sure to wear your oldest plaid shirts and blue jeans or some thing equally informal). There are rooms at the center where you can change if it seems in appropriate to leave Meredith so dressed). Attendance will be determined according to Outing Club custom by a sign-up list in order to keep the number balanced. WATCH FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENTS! ’ ’ DR. PARK AT SEMINAR (Continued from Page One) Dr. William Westberg, assist ant professor of psychology at State College, will speak on March 7 on “Industrial Inter viewing and Counselling.” The seminar meetings are held in room 114 Tompkins Hall on the State College campus at 4:00 p.m. All interested people are invited to attend.
