Stringfield Fire
Serves As Warning
“A Man’s a Man..
By ANNE BRITT
The trash chute of Stringfield
dorm caught fire Friday, March 7,
around 9 a.m. A telephone worker
checking telephones on the halls dis
covered the blaze. Mr. Simmons was
called and he soon had the ex
tinguisher at work. The fire depart
ment rushed to the scene and got
everything under control. The de
partment investigated the causes
and worked with college officials on
a possible solution to the problem.
Excepting charred .trash and smoke-
filled halls, no damage was done
because fortunately the fire was
caught in time.
Presumably, the fire was started
by a cigarette carelessly left smok
ing in some wastebasket. This was
picked up with the trash and
dumped down the chute. Safety and
caution must be emphasized be
cause the consequences of this one
mistake could have been disastrous.

Some like ’em fat and some like
’em thin.
What is your dream man? Does
he have the intelligence of Einstein,
the affection of a kitten, and the
looks of Pete Brennan? Is he as
rich as Croesus, as passionate as
Valentino and as manly as Tarzan?
Recently the child psychology and
measurement classes rated six quali
ties that they sought in the man of
their choice. The quality sought
above all others was intelligence.
They say opposites attract. Spiritual
values ran a close second. Next
came affection. We all agree on
that quality. Physical attractive
ness ranked fourth. Why so many
Rock Hudsons on the breezeways?
Wealth lagged in fifth place. I sup
pose we will have to support them.
Luxuries are expensive aren’t they?
Passion was the loser in this race. I
don’t know exactly how to interpret
these results. We appear to be a
pretty conservative bunch. All work
and no play, all brains and no brawn
will make — a dull boy. As I said
in the beginning, opposites do at
tract. You are telling on yourselves,
girls.
programs and evening discussion
groups are scheduled. Students who
would like personal conferences with
the speakers may make arrange
ments with Virginia- Jones. This
event will be held on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday immediately
after the spring vacation.

Around six-fifteen, the official
beginning of night at Meredith, a
tall, sandy-haired man begins to
turn on outside lights and patrol the
campus. The man who thus comes
on the scene each night is Mr. Batts,
the Meredith night watchman.
Mr. Batts is the father of four
children, ranging from the ages of
six to eighteen. He sleeps during the
day, arriving for work at dusk and
leaving at dawn. His work includes
locking up the buildings, making
sure all the lights are out, and look
ing after the parking situation.
To illustrate his statement, “This
job is interesting and can be very
exciting at times,” Mr. Batts relates
several experiences of culprits.
Sometimes sports car enthusiasts
with the pioneer spirit try to blaze
new trails through the front of the
auditroium and that had to be
stopped. They have gotten on the
steps with their cars before he could
get to them. Then there are the boys
that want to come visiting about
two or three in the morning and
Mr. Batts has to find out what they
are doing and s^nd them away.
Once this year frantic squeals could
be heard from Stringfield dorm and
he had to come get the frogs that
were hopping around in the hall.
Speaking of animals, some boys
went ’possum hunting and brought
their catch to Meredith, only to find

Set for March 29
The 16th annual Alumnae Semi
nar will be held Saturday, March
29, on Meredith College campus.
Travel is the theme, and it will be
presented by the history department
in the lecture room of Joyner Hall.
The seminar begins at 9:30 with
a coffee hour after which Dr. Alice
Keith will present some European
impressions of America and its peo
ple. Dr. Sarah Lemmon will speak
on American impression of Europe
and its people at 11:15, and at
2:15 Dr. Lillian Parker Wallace will
discuss our own international re
lations. Breaks from these scheduled
classes will include visits to displays
of foreign dolls, luggage, cameras,
books, brochures, and art prints;
tips from a representative of the
Patterson Travel Agency; and a
luncheon served in the college
dining room.
Miss Mae Grimmer, alumnae sec
retary, says that the attendance is
usually 100 or more. The seminar
committee planning the day consists
of eight Meredith alumnae- headed
by Mrs. Peggy Jo Dalrymple Kirby.
The effort put into this 16th annual
seminar will'go toward making it
as successful as in the past.
that we didn’t want them.
While being night-watchman at a
girls’ school has its ups and downs,
Mr. Batts has not complained. After
a year of service at Meredith, he
still comes each night in spite of
boys, ’possums, and frogs.
