Page Two THE TWIG September 14, 1965 You Must Try “Seek and yc shall find; knock and it shall be opened,” is an often quoted passage from the Bible. Its meaning has been applied and implied to mean many different lessons. However, I feel that this is a most appropriate message for all the freshmen, transfers—and yes, even for those who arc upperclassmen. How can you expect to make new friends if you don’t make an effort to meet the girls on your hall or in your classes? How are you going to fully understand a point the professor did not clearly explain if you do not ask questions in class? The answer is simple—you won’t unless you put forth an effort to do so. Remember, that is the key word—^EFFORT. But putting forth the effort, you shall succeed here at Meredith and in life. The Twig Needs You This publication carries the inscription “Newspaper of the Students of Meredith* College.” Perhaps the claim is presumptuous, for to be the newspaper of the students of this college, it must receive the support of the student body expressed by active participation, interest, and concern on the part of each Meredith student. Such support cannot be forced or enticed. It must come as a result of an understanding of and a commit ment to the purpose for which this paper is designed. A college publication to be worthy of its existence must express the spirit and life of its campus. The Twic, thus, is a part of Meredith and must have a purpose within the framework of this school. It is not a high school gossip sheet. It is not merely a reporter of campus news. It is not entertainment. The Twig should inform students about all areas of campus life. It has an educational function in that it should convey the purpose of Mere dith and the place of individuals within her being. It has an artistic func tion in that it should be a means of literary expression and newspaper craftsmanship. It has a uniting function in that it should tie all segments of the acadcmic and social life together in a sense of mutual understanding and interaction. These lofty ideals are of no value simply as ideas or as sentences on a piece of paper. Their value is in their actualization consciously and un consciously by Meredith students. To each new student the Twic offers anew a challenge and an appeal. Your participation and interest is needed and desired. Student opinion in the form of letters to the editor is invited. Student expression in the form of working on the staff of the paper is encouraged. Student concern in the form of suggestions to the editorial staff and critical and appreciative reading of the paper is cargerly welcomed. You are Meredith. Without her students she could not exist. By giving her life, you have an obligation to enrich and expand her being. One of the most fruitful and rewarding ways this obligation may be discharged is through student publications. Thus, the Twig presents herself to you not only to serve you, but also to demand from you a material and spiritual contribution. (With thanks to a former Twig editor) mmm.
