Seger’s talk on April 10 at 5:00 p.m. should be of interest to all Meredith stu dents. Born in Leipzig, Germany on November 16, 1896, Mr. Seger served in the German cavalry dur ing World War 1 and was held in the first Nazi concentration camp at Oranienburg for six months un der the reign of Hitler. Seger escaped from this camp into Czechoslovakia and while lecturing in Engjand was able, with the help of British friends, to secure the re lease of his wife and baby daughter from a concentration camp in Ros- slau, Anhalt. Since the Second World War, Seger has been in Germany six times, notably as a witness at the first Nuremberg trial. He is the au thor of several books about Ger many and has lectured all over the United States and Canada. His probable topic of discussion in con nection with Dr. Pearcy’s history class will be “After Dr, Adenauer, What?” Peacock Predicts Over 200 New Students To Enter Meredith Fail Semester, 1963 As a result of the construction of the new dormitory, the college was able to accept 303 new students in 1962; however, next fall there will be spaces for approximately 215 incoming students. A number of applications have been accepted, some have been re jected, and others are still pending until a better estimate of available spaces can be made. Experience has shown that some of the girls accepted will withdraw before April 1, when an advance deposit of $50 is due, and that eight to nine per cent of the present resident stu dents will withdraw. These with drawals will provide additional spaecs for Incoming students. Dean L. A. Peacock announces that as of March 19, a total of 543 applications for dormitory residence for the 1963 fall semester have been received. This is already an increase over the 535 applications which were submitted for the fall semes ter of 1962. The problem of select ing next year’s students from the large number of applicants is fur ther complicated by the fact that fewer spaces will be available next year. College Is Prepared In Case of Fallout The Meredith College tunnel has been designated as one of eighty- five fall-out .shelters in the Raleigh area. According to Mr. Howard V. Belcher, the college is co-operating with Civil Defense in the interest of the total program. The tunnel is being equipped with five basic articles: food con sisting of wheat biscuits somewhat similar to graham crackers; water; medical supplies, a minimum of non-perishable supplies such as as- perins; sanitation supplies; and, a radiation kit. When the shelter’s equipment is complete, it will be able to capacitate approximately started at the University of Colom bia by sending them plastic dinner- ware for their foods laboratory. In order to let the college chapters sco what is being done in the new de partment, the University has sent some slides that will be shown Saturday morning. In gratitude, the University has also sent some Co lombian coffee which will be served at the coffee hour following the showing of the slides. E. C. C. Leads Workshop East Carolina College, with Joyce Dove Ward presiding, will direct the leadership workshop Saturday morning. They will have a program featuring a panel of East Carolina girls. A period of discussion in small groups will follow, with each group presenting its ideas at the close of the period. Ofl'Icers Installation Ends Conference The activities will be brought to a close by a luncheon held at Bal- entine’s in Cameron Villaae. Mary Jane Harrell of Salem CoTlege will be presiding at the luncheon meet ing at the luncheon meetine.
