DIXIE CLASSIC
As all other leading newspapers
in the state are full of basketball
right now, we see no reason, why
our Twig should be the exception.
Naturally, the interest in sports over
the holidays was centered around
the Dixie Classic. For the first time
in the Classic’s history the Big Four
met in the finals, and what finals
they were! The first game Saturday
night, December 31, saw Wake
Forest play Duke in a thriller that
ended with Duke’s defeating Wake
Forest, and thus ranking third place
in the Classic’s competition. But the
game which all the fans looked to
with expectation was the final be
tween N. C. State, the nation s
third-ranking team (A.P.), and
fourth-ranked Carolina. Carolina
just couldn’t break State’s winning
streak; and believe me. State was
“red hot”! Phil DiNardo, State’s cap
tain, with the help of one of the
best teams North Carolina has seen
in years, led State to an 82-60 win
over the Tar Heels. It was the Wolf-
pack’s twenty-third straight' win
over a two-year period, which, by
the way, was snapped by Duke this
past Saturday night, and the eleventh
straight win for the season. Shavlik
and Molodet of State, Rosenbluth of
Carolina, Davis of Wake Forest,
and Belmont of Duke were chosen
on the All-Tournament team. Shav-
, lik, named the tournament’s niost
valuable player, scored 50 points
and was credited with 50 rebounds
during the three-day competition.

A great deal is to be learned from
an ant. In spite of previous annoy
ance, I was dismayed to return from
Christmas holidays to find that the
ants in my bathtub were dead and
gone. I remembered how they lined
up militantly to drink in the stream
made from the perpetual scattered
drops leaking from the faucet. If I
forgot to wash out the tub before
my bath, I would always see a
group of ferocious little ants swim
ming everywhere around me. At
first I was terrified, but then I began
to watch them more carefully. They
always marched in lines as straight
as a Mondrian painting. One warm
Sunday, in order to protect my bag
lunch, I put it on a chair and put
the chair in six inches of water in
the bathtub thus making a moat.
The ants were appalled, but con
tinued to circle round the edge of
the water, planning a maneuver.
There was no answer, however, so
Joe, the leader, thought that only
a Fabian approach could solve this
problem. Immediately they turned
away and went to seek a more
profitable venture, namely the
cookies on my dresser. I think ants
are communistic, for the whole na
tion has equally divided much of
my food. In a fiendish mood one
morning I resolved to drown them
all. When the water began to creep
to the back of the tub some of the
ants on the bottom managed to es
cape up the side. But the line of
ants unaware of the danger con
tinued to crawl into the tub. Luckily
Joe was one of the refugees, and he
situated himself one inch above the
rising water and warned each ant
as it met him. So the line swerved
toward the top again. I was over
come with remorse at Joe’s selfless
ness, then I destroyed him. But now
as I gaze sadly into the tub, I miss
that swarm of Huns, the ants.

Architect’s Drawing of New Arts Building
Basketball Reigns in Sports
Meredith is currently engaged inO-
a nine-year expansion program with
a financial goal of $2,250,000. As
outlined and authorized, it will pro
vide for sorely needed renovations
and additions in buildings and in
crease the resources available for
current operations.
Presently under construction is
the new arts building, as shown in
the cut which will be Georgian in
style, built of brick with limestone
trim matching that of the other
buildings on the campus. Note the
interesting treatment of the south
side which shows a framework of
limestone and metal to take care of
the many windows of the class
rooms.
The building will accommodate
all of the departments from the old
arts buildings plus the department
of psychology and philosophy
There will be an increase in the
numbers of classrooms and an of
fice for each instructor. Some of the
new features are a large lecture
room that will seat about ninety, one
sound-proof room for language and
speech work, and an art gallery,
two large storage rooms, and a re
ception room with a kitchenette.
It is hoped that the new building
will be ready for occupation by next
September.

Wedding bells will be ringing soon
for some of the Meredith girls who
returned from the holidays with that
all important “rock” on their left
hand. (I wonder if leap year had
anything to do with it?)
Jody Gibson is engaged to
Johnny Bivens from Wingate, N. C.,
who graduated from State in ’55.

might interest you basketball fans
The A.A. is sponsoring a “free-

On Thursday, January 5, the
Gestapo did something that, to the
enslaved students, seemed very
rash. An open forum was held in
which the “mass” might offer sug
gestions for the Gestapo to take as
projects. Of course, six guards in
black with their police dogs stood at
each side of the auditorium, ready
to tear to pieces anyone having too
radical an idea. Although the Ges
tapo surely will ignore any idiotic
ideas which the “mass” might sug
gest, there were several brave
students who offered projects (the
execution of these few will be held
on February 14 — the Gestapo are
having a heart; several, in fact
— and no admission is being
charged).

What mysterious element put an
extra sparkle in the eyes and on the
fingers of six Meredith girls during
the holidays? What accounts for the
tinkling of bells that they seem to
hear now and then, the stray grains
of rice in their suitcases, and the
sudden flow of colored photographs
to their rooms? It’s really no mys
tery at all, as anyone can see, for
these former happy misses are now
ever happier wives. Wedding bells
mingled with jingle bells for them
this Christmas, and made it their
merriest ever.
And who are the ones who decked
their halls with white gladioli as well
as holly? In case you missed their
names as they were congratulated
at dinner or haven’t heard the facts,
I will fill you in.

the civic music buses, a committee
was appointed in chapel to attend
to the matter. The committee stated
that from now on, bus tickets will,

other bus will be ordered.
