On their bulletin boards one finds a Peanuts anthology of comments on the problems of morality the ology, and the et cetera of life. Though Dr. Ralph McLain, chair man of the department, is confincd to his bed, he sends his greetings by way of Dennis the Menace. The official notices vary from luring advertisements from school boards all over the nation to news of exciting places to go to study French or German along with Frenchmen and Germans to an nouncements of exciting contests with prizes of fame and fortune. On the local level there arc notices of concerts, films, lectures, art ex hibits, plays, and conferences which are happening in the area — signs of an intellectual link with the world outside Meredith. The bulletin boards also serve as a channel of communication be tween a professor and his students. The most obvious signs of this are the conference schedules posted out side the English offices. Can any one who has never been a Mere dith freshman know the significance of those lists of names and hours? Professors and their students some times can’t find each other outside of class and communicate by means of the bulletin board. One profes sor said he sometimes goes for days without seeing his student teachers, but receives their lesson plans and returns them by way of the board. In addition to witticisms and wry comments on their fields of study and to official notices, many profes sors use their bulletin boards to post articles which are related to the dis cussions of their classcs or which they want their students and others ACADEMIC REGALIA (Continued from page 3) Philosophy Dark Blue Physical Education Sage Green Public Health Salmon Science Golden Yellow Social Work Citron Surgical Chiropody Nile Green Theology and Divinity Scarlet Veterinary Science Gray The reading of the degree, and not the department in which major work was done, governs the color proper for the velvet of the hood.

These may range from new breakthroughs in medi cine to the war in Vietnam, but they serve to heighten the students’ awareness of the relevance of ideas to the things that arc going on in the world. A bulletin boara is an open letter from the professor to the college community — a means by which he can express his opinions, his inter ests, his sense of humor, and perhaps even a discreet complaint or two about the way things are. Check out the bulletin boards you pass in the halls. You may learn something about an interesting man or woman! Meredith Students to Stage Benet's "John Brown's Body Drama Combines Song, Dance John Brown's Body by Stephen Vincent Benet is far more than an epic poem about the Civil War. It is more than the story about a bat tle. It is the story about the terrible birth pangs o£ the modern nation in which we now live. The Civil War marked the end of the rural, pas toral America. After the war the United States entered completely into the age of industrialization. This 'beautifully dramatized poem does not make any value judgments about the results of the change from an agricultural nation to an indus- Trustees Make Weatherspoon First Life Member of Board W, Herbert Weatherspoon, re tired Raleigh attorney who served Meredith College as a trustee for some forty years, has been named to receive the first life membership on the Board of Trustees.
