STAR GAZINGS
The Astrotekton society is
losing a loyal member and a
sincere leader. Miss Phyllis
Cunningham, society sponsor,
is leaving at the end of the se
mester to assume her new duties
at Grinnell College, in Grinnell,
Iowa.
She has worked with the so
ciety through six rush weeks,
sparking the members on to
harder work. Recalling some
events of the weeks of rushing.
Miss Cunningham especially re
members the year back in the
days of the great Justice when
the entire rush week was carried
on like a football game, with her
self making the opening “kick
off” dressed in a yellow jersey,
plenty of padding, and wearing
the famous numeral “22” on her
back! And we all look forward
each fall to her prowess on
the ladder of the “angel farm”
water tower. Miss Cunningham
says that she will miss working
with the society, just as we shall
surely miss her, but she declares
that she will still be a loyal
Astro in her new home. She has
been a leader worthy of tribute;
let us honor her by pledging our
complete support to our society.
While we are sorry that our
former sponsor is leaving, we
welcome gladly our new adviser.
Miss Marion Davis. After grad
uating from Alabama State Col
lege for ^^omen, she became
affiliated with the art depart
ment here. Miss Davis thinks the
societies on the Meredith campus
are “very, very nice,” and she
feels that the work they are
doing in charity and civic affairs
should be continued and in
creased.

Psychology Soys No Painless
Way to End on Engagement
Do girls suffer more than men
from broken engagements? How
long does it take to recover from
a broken engagement? Is there
a painless way to end an en
gagement?
There is no painless way to
end an engagement, but the ma
jority of individuals recover m
less than six months, Clifford R.
Adams reports in the November
Ladies’ Home Journal. The girl,
more often than the man, he
says, is too immature to accept
the situation.
To help speed recovery, Dr.
Adams, a psychologist at Penn
sylvania State College, gives
seven suggestions offered by
people who know best-—those
who have suffered from a broken
engagement themselves.
1 Don’t feel sorry for your
self. Statistics prove that you
can love many people—there is
no one and only. Next time you
may be able to choose more
''^^2^^0bjectively review the past
courtship. When you analyze
misunderstandings, disagree
ments and incompatible traits,
you will realize that the present
course of action is wisest.
The new year has finally come
and what a challenge it brings to
us! Phido wishes you a very
Happy New Year, but he also
wonders what this new year
means to you. Will you accept
it as a challenge for growth?
Phido has some suggestions to
offer you for a fuller and more
interesting year. , ,
First ot all, Phido would like
to see the Phis taking more in
terest in the affairs of the day.
Do you students know what is
happening in the world today?
When you reach your twenty-
first birthday, will you be pre
pared to vote? Will you accept
your Christian responsibility m
politics by using this voting priv
ilege? The Phis could make a
worthwhile project of sponsor
ing debates this spring on some
of the issues before us all.
Phido hopes the Phis accept
the challenge of the New Year
by trying to improve their
character. Socially? Yes. Every
student should take part in the
social activities on our campus.
Mentally? Yes. Everyone should
strive harder to be on the eligi
bility list, if not the Dean’s list.
Most of all, students should
accept the challenges of the New
Year to grow spiritually. There
are many opportunities empha
sizing this need on our campus
in 1952. Religious Focus Week
begins February 18. We will
have the opportunity to hear
excellent speakers, to take part
in discussions and to have per
sonal conferences with the lead
ers. Everyone must try to par
ticipate in these activities.
So Phido says:
“Here’s hoping that 1952
Will be a year of growth for
you.” „

4. Don’t be bitter about your
broken engagement. Keep any
explanations to your friends
simple, dignified and fair.
5. Fill your days with con
structive things to do. A job,
volunteer social work, study or
hobby will help give you a bright
outlook.
And remember: a broken en
gagement is preferable to a
broken marriage. Best of all, Dr.
Adams says: “Out of your ex
perience may emerge a deeper
sympathy for others, a greMer
insight into yourself, a richer
challenge in the months ahead.

RELIGIOUS FOCUS WEEK

ences, informal discussions and

Va.; J. C. Herrin, chaplain at the
University of North Carolina,
Dr. Hugh A. Bremin, Louisville,
Ky.; and Dr. Everette Gill, sec
retary for Latin American on the
Foreign Mission board. Dr.
Arnold Nash, head of the rehgion
department at Chapel Hill, wiP
be the special faculty speaker.
Tea will be served in the
faculty parlors February 19 and
20 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

That’s not just idle talk—the average house
wife works 63 hours a week. And she performs 70
different tasks in one day’s work. Which is proof posi
tive (if anybody needs it!) that housekeeping is a
rugged job!
Of course, today’s housewife has electric helpers
to lend a hand and take much heavy work out of house
work. But even the finest gadgets need something else
—cheap, dependable electric service to give them life
and usefulness.
That’s why it’s a compliment that housewives take
electricity for granted. You flip a switch and know
electricity is ready.
You can take its economy for granted, too. For
electricity is just about the smallest item in your family
budget. It costs less than a pack of cigarettes a day,
yet it helps you sew, cook, eiean, wash and iron, guards
your health, entertains you. What else gives you so
much living value-at such little cost.?
