SENIORS TEACH
IN CITY SCHOOLS
An important part of the educa
tion department’s program is giving
students a chance to observe and
serve an apprenticeship in an edu
cation system in Raleigh. This se
mester there are a number of girls
from Meredith leaching in various
schools around the community.
At the Barbee School are Emily
Dunn teaching third grade and
Linda Edwards teaching fifth grade;
at Emma Conn are Carole Hamrick
teaching the sixth grade, Margaret
Ricks teaching first grade, Joyce
Ann Smith teaching the fifth grade,
and Gaynelle Gray working with
third grade.
Found at Frances Lacy are Bette
Liles, first grade, Pat Rhue, second
can Verse has been presented to the
library by Mrs. W. R. Rand, the
former Elizabeth Pernell, a 1926
graduate. The book was given in
memory of Mrs. Viola Alderman
Barrett, also an alumna of the col
lege.
World University Service is a
name that each Meredith student
will become very familiar with in
the next two weeks on the campus.
WUS is about to launch her 1960-
61 drive for funds on this campus.
On November 23 the chapel ad
dress will be given by Susan Self,
introducing WUS to the student
body. Susan will be employed by
WUS beginning February 1, 1961,
as a traveler for this branch of the
Social Economic Council of the
United Nations. The actual Mere
dith drive is to be held from No
vember 28 to December 2.
What is WUS? Briefly, WUS is
an international student service or
ganization. It is dedicated to mutual
assistance in meeting the most
crucial needs of the university com
munity throughout the world.
Education Is Conccm Of WUS
WUS effort is rooted in the firm
belief that education is the key to
many of the world’s problems. In
the university students of today are
the leaders of tomorrow. To guaran
tee their education is to guarantee a
sounder future.
WUS is international; far more
than a charity effort, it is a co
operative effort of students and
professors in 41 countries. Meredith
students will be asked to give to
support WUS programs which range
from health services to educational
materials.
WUS is a non-sectarian, non
political program carrying out work
without regard to race, creed, or
nationality . . . it must involve the
total world university program.
Goal For Meredith Is $500
Meredith’s goal has been set at
$500 — this is less than a quarter
per student. It will be a total cam
paign, with faculty and administra
tion joining the students. Interna
tional Relations Club members will
be solicitors.
Remember the name — World
University Service. Remember the
dates of tlie campaign — Novem
ber 28-December 2. Remember that
to us a quarter is so little, to the
foreign needy student it is so much.
Help others to help themselves
through WUS .
our future.

Sociology Students Engaged In
Actual Social Work In Community
The sociology department of
Meredith College under Dr. Leslie
Syron offers “Introduction to Social
Work,” a pre-professional course
that introduces students to the field
of social work, This course is unique
in comparison to other college
courses in that it includes directed
work in outside agencies.
Most students do not actually en
ter social work until doing graduate
study; but by delving into different
areas of social work, a student is
more capable of selecting that
branch for which she is best suited
and which she finds most enjoyable.
Four Girls Work At Prison
The community of Raleigh has
actively participated in letting the
girls from Meredith who are talcing
the course, work in different or
ganizations in the city. This year

the Women’s Prison are Carol Jones
Barnes, Elizabeth Tucker, Barbara
Jean Bumgarner, and Linda Marsh.
