I don’t know whether or not you have heard by now, but the Astros beat the Phis in volleyball with a score of 70-44. But, next day on the hockey field, the Phis sought re venge and got it. The score: Phis 4, Astros 1. Of course, none of the players were professionals in either game, but it was fun, anyway, and if you don’t believe it, just ask any one who was there. Sociology Class Gets Practical Experience Hey there — you with the flab on your figure — want to get some exercise? We know just the place for you to go — to the gym, of course. If you are a Phi, be there on Tuesdays and Thursdays at five o’clock sharp. If you are an Astro, make it at five on Mondays and Fridays. And if you are a noncon formist, come anyway; there’s al ways room for one more. Don’t for get now! And by the way, it will be basketball practice you’ll be coming to. Put on your long red flannels. And your sneakers and pa jamas. And we’ll hitch old Dobbin to a bus; We’ll have singing and laughter. By GINGER MORRIS Are you looking for a job? Be- ore you choose, see one of the ourteen girls in Sociology 97 and find out about their jobs. They are working in nine different fields of work in Raleigh. You can gather first-hand information by chatting with these girls, and perhaps you will find a job which you might like. Jane Lambert, Miriam Knight, and Pat Loving are working with Y-Teens at Needham Broughton High School. Once a week they ob serve the meeting of the Y-Teens and offer constructive advice when necessary. They direet a workshop at the Y.W.C.A. every week. Their work now is centered around the planning and giving of devotions. When they finish this project, they will begin another. Mrs. Jen Lambe, who is working at the Woman’s Prison, observes the daily schedule of the inmates. She has interviewed the inmates, and she will continue to observe and partici pate in the functions of the prison. If you ever need help in the bus station, go to the Traveler’s Aid desk where you will find Priscilla Jackson. She’s just waiting to help someone who might need a meal, or who needs a place to spend the night, or who just needs someone to talk to at thd moment. Priscilla’s job is sponsored by the Family Ser vice in Raleigh. Sue Wilson, who is at the Temple Baptist Day School, is working with the kindergarten group every Mon day morning. Sue observed the various age groups before she de cided to work permanently with the five-year-olds. She has been respon sible for the chapel program and planning the work period, and now she directs the study period of the children. Rita Harton, the adult advisor to the B.T.U. of the Ridge Road Bap tist Church, is busy directing the activities and programs of the Young People’s union. Rita’s job includes direction and carrying out of plans of the groups, besides lead ing many of the activities. Barbara Southworth, our Red Cross worker, is busy reading case histories. She listens to interviews of different types. Next week she will spend a whole day observing the Veteran’s Administration Hos pital. Peggy Darden, Lorrine Smith, Libby Wehunt, and Betty Deloatch are working with the epileptic chil dren at Dix Hill. Peggy and Lorrine in their work with the pre-school children, teach them to play to gether by using songs and games. Libby and Betty work with the older children. It seems, as in their case, that sociology majors are taking up the teaching profession, for they are teaching the three R’s and music. If any education majors would like any advice, see Betty and Libby. Betsy Tippett is working at the Wake County Department of Public Welfare. She studies case histories and does some interviewing. Betsy is being initiated into the profession which many sociology majors will enter. If you think you would like welfare work, talk to Betsy some time. If none of these jobs satisfy you, just come to the Employment Secur ity Commission, where Ginger Mor ris is working, and all of your prob lems will be solved. Here, through testing, counseling and guidance, you may derive your suitable choice of a profession. Ginger’s work has been observation^ of client and claims, and she has participated in some of the tests given by the E.S.C. This is the line up of just nine different jobs in Raleigh, and these girls will be glafi to answer any questions concerning them. And memories hereafter Of our caroling, and we’ll do it thus: THE TWIG Page three Outstanding Work Done By Meredith Alumnae Meredith College Alumnae have been making news lately through furthering their education and do ing outstanding work in their pro fessions. Mrs. David B. Sutton, formerly Corinna Sherron of the class of 1940, was recently awarded a cer tificate by the National Federation of Musie Clubs for her work in the North Carolina Federation of Music Clubs and was elected to the na tional committee on publicity. Mrs. Sutton, a native of Raleigh, writes “Musical Tempo,” a column in the News and Observer. On the faculty of Shorter College in Rome, Georgia, are three Mere dith graduates: Dr. lone Kemp Knight (’43), who received her Ph.D. in English from the University of North Carolina, is now head of the English Department; Miss Betty Moore (’50), who received her M.A. in English from U.N.C., is also a member of the English staff; and Mrs. May Carter Blackstock (’18), who received her M.A. in mathematics at Brown University, is Dean of Students. Everybody meet in front of John son Hall at eleven sharp, Friday night, December 16. Catherine Campbell, a graduate from Meredith in 1948 is now with the State College Extention service as a specialist in housing and house furnishing. Before going to State College, Miss Campbell served as head of the Home Economics de partment at Campbell College for three years. Several of the more reeent alumnae have received their master’s degrees. Miss Jean Dula, a 1953 graduate, received her M.R.E. degree this spring from the School di Religious Education at the South ern Baptist Seminary in Louisville and is now employed as minister of education at Watts- Street Baptist Church in Durham.

She is now teaching English at State College. STUDENT LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS On November 10, the Student League of Women Voters held its second official meeting of the year. After the president, Neil Hampe. had called the meeting to order and welcomed the new members, she discussed with the group the possi bilities of having a reception for the delegates of the Student Legisla ture, on the night of November 10 at tire Highway Building. Then a panel, in which Betty Smith, Pat Bowen and Lois Pond were speakers, explained the bill that the Meredith delegates pre sented at the Student Legislature, which is a bill to establish perma nent registration in North Carohna. Education Ooparfment ^nnoicncos iureau Student Legislature Highlighted By Scenes Of Debate and Oratory By BETTY SMITH Silver Shield Taps Two New Members State Student Legislature con tinues to become a better and literally bigger experience each year. At the 1955 session, which was held November 17-19 in the State Capitol, 24 colleges and uni versities, both white and colored, throughout the state were rep resented by over 250 student dele gates. There were also observers from Sou,h Carolina and Virginia." At 4:00 on Nov. 17 the plenary session of the North Carolina State Student Legislature was called to order in the Chamber of the House of Representative After the invo cation, the opening address, and a brief business session, the delegates adjourned to theii respective houses, elected officers, and then began the chief business of S.S.L. — the con sideration of legislative measures which had been prepared by each school. The bills presented were, in most cases, well prepared, well intro duced and defended, and concerned with contemporary issues in North Carolina, ranging from proper brakes on heavy trucks, entirety new systems of higher education, right of legislative review, driver training courses, permanent registration (in troduced by Meredith), and streams sanitation, to the hotly contested and superbly debated bill advocat ing immediate abolition of segrega tion in the state. * Though, as always, this question was imrnediately controversial, the debate on segregation was thought ful, factual, and provocative. The delegates debating this were no mere amateurs speaking; they were adults who were accustomed to standing .on their feet before large groups and expressing themselves clearly, and emphatically, and in telligently. Though other bills were debated equally as well, this one, which was more vitally done be cause of the inter-racial nature of the group, left an indelible impres sion because of the serious thought evidenced and moments of thrilling eloquence reached during its con sideration. Jeanne Grealish and Nancy Young, new Associate Silver Shield Members. Though most of the session was spent in serious debate, there were many light moments. For instance, a bill was introduced in the Senate to abolish the House of Representa tives, the “inferiour” body across the hall so that its chamber might be converted into a lobby for the “august” senators who were to have it air-conditioned and who were to install television, at state expense. There was also a “march” on the Senate by the female members of the House to recover the gavel which had allegedly been stolen from the House for use in the Senate by one of the “august” senators. The three days of the session were busy ones, often somewhat tiring. However, the activities, people, and, above all, the ideas which were present were new, challenging, and permanently meaningful to all those who attended. Law-making and parlimentary procedure indeed possess vitality. The education department at Meredith is beginning a Placement Bureau which is designed to assist teachers in getting jobs after grad uation. Although this service is pri marily to aid teachers, the place ment bureau will assist any other student in getting a job if possible. Any student who wants this serv ice should go by the education de partment as soon as possible, fill out the necessary forms, and file them in the office. At least twelve small photographs should be filed with the other material, t Once a student begins the place ment file, it should be permanent and kept up to date. Edwards and Broughton Co. prints THE TWIG and has done so "since 1922.

Nancy Young and Jeanne Grealish, the juniors chosen, were selected on a basis of con structive leadership,' Christian char acter, and service to the school. It has been the aim of the Silver Shield to recognize girls who truly meet the standards and qualifications of the constitution. First proposed in 1933, the Silver Shield was defi nitely organized in 1935. The procedure for selecting as sociate members is as follows. First the society draws up a list of pros pective members which is sent to the registrar’s office for academic approval. From this list, a revised list is made and sent to the entire faculty, who eliminate one fourth of the names submitted to them. From the remaining list, the society selects its associate members. Nancy Reese is president of the Silver Shield this year, Margaret Anne English is vice-president, and Anne Parr is secretary-treasurer. TRIO TO APPEAR HERE The second concert in the Ra leigh Chamber Music Guild’s 1955-56 series will be given tonight at 8 in the college auditorium by the Alfred Deller Trio. The concert promises to be one of the most in teresting and unusual musical events which has ever appeared in Ra leigh. This outstanding musical group is composed of Alfred Deller, counter - tenor; Desmond Dupre, lute and viola da gamba, and Rob ert Conant, harpsichord. ' Alfred Deller, “one of the supreme British singers of our generation” (Birming ham Post) is responsible, almost single-handed, for reviving the counter - tenor; Desmond Dupre, complishment should stem from a scholarly background and a home environment rich in cultivated, even rarified, musical interest and activity. “MARTIX LUTHER” SHOWX HERE “Martin Luther,” a stirring, mov ing film about the great reformist, was shown Tuesday night, Novem ber 29, in the Meredith Auditorium. This film was presented by the Freeman Religion Club as a project and service to Meredith students and members of the community. Mitchell’s Hair Styling CAMERON VILLAGE RALEIGH, N. C. Phone; 4-8221
