ROY'S Please Try Our Chicken — at — ROY'S DRIVE-IN Downtown Boulevard or Across From Meredith No-Armed Bandits By FRANCES CAUDLE Pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters — somehow they dl manage to dis appear into the yawning chasm of the vending machines on the breezeways! What matters if the money is very carefully dropped into the slot — it still gets stuck halfway down and obstinately re fuses to be unstuck. Each day the breezeways ring with indignant pro tests, censored exclamations, and resigned shrugs. The passers-by may hear such statements ^as: “1 must own at least half of that drotted machine by now!” or "There goes my last nickle and I was sim ply perishing for a coke!” Oh, well! Perhaps the Bee Hive is flourishing under the throngs of disappointed bottle-drink-lovers who must resign themselves to the “fate” of a foun tain drink. Some frustrated people have even resorted to violence. If one listens closely, she can hear the peaceful quiet of the Meredith campus broken by loud bangs and knocks inflicted on the silently protesting machines which can only stand there looking innocently blank. For proof of my words, just make an inspection of the scratches on the beautiful new Pepsi machine be tween Faircloth and Brewer. Tch! Tch! Tch! girls! While some use force, others stoop to more degrad ing methods of vindication! If any one encounters a setfaced girl walk ing toward a breezeway carrying a bobby pin, nail file or screw driver in her grimy paws — stop her! She’s dangerous! What errand could give her that revengeful, greedy smile on her usually “angelic” countenance? By sleuthful methods, it was brought to my attention that some persons, through illicit means, have been pulling “shake - downs” on the money - stuffed machines. The report goes that several people have SYMPHONY GIVES CONCERT NEWTON’S, INC.

Large Staff of Stylists Dial: TE 3-9735 The first concert on the Mere dith campus this year was Wednes day, October 29. The Little Sym phony Orchestra conducted by Al lan H. Bone of Duke and Miss Beverly Wal.ff, a contralto soloist, gave their performance in Jones Auditorium. The program consisted of Mo zart’s Symphony No. 41 (“Jupiter”) by the Orchestra and Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer, a cycle of four songs for the contralto soloist. After the intermission Miss Walff sang three songs accompanied at the piano by Mr. Laren Withus of Duke. The Orchestra concluded the program with Jacques Ibert’s Divertissement for Chamber Music. The Little Symphony is made up of fifty musicians from the Tri-City area of Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill. Their performance was spon sored by the Music Performance Trust Fund of the American Fed eration of Musicians. Miss Walff’s participation in the concert was sponsored by the Music extracted as much as twenty-five cents in one night! What puzzles me is why the money losers don’t just ask those pleasant drink-men to replacc the lost money. It’s much simpler that way and there’s no dangerous aftermath of broken fingernails or conscience - stricken nightmares.. And really, the ma chine men are very courteous about the whole transaction. Cheer up, girls! The drink com panies could get fed up with \is and remove their machines. At least we gel a drink now and then. What would happen to life’s variety with out a stubborn machine to cope with? For An Afternoon Walk ARNOLD’S REXALL DRUGS 3025 Hillsboro Street and Lectures Committee of Mere dith College.

NOBODY KNOWS ANY MORE The relocation of the post office has had unforeseen results. In previous years when we checked the mail at 8:29 or paused before attempting to find one box during the afternoon rush, the obyious and natural thing was to stand a minute contemplating the items on the bul letin board — but now . . . The two minutes l^fore an 8:30 class are consumed in running to the new post office and the four o’clock rush is toward the north end of the Bee Hive. Nobody sees the bulletin board. That important senior class meeting went unattended and the emergency gathering of switch board operators didn’t gather . What notice (innocently)? Does anybody have any constructive sug gestions about closing Brewer breezeway or relocating the dinine hall or SOMETHING — to route the student body through Johnson Hall and by the bulletin board?
