Coincidence and convenience are
the two reasons Meredith has four
sets of twins this year.
Suzanne and Annelise Ware,
juniors, are familiar faces at Mere
dith, and the Freshman Class
brought with it three new sets of
look-alikes. When asked if they
planned to go to the same school, all
the girls replied with a firm “No!”
The explanation they gave was that
Meredith just happened to be the
type of school each wanted. Jane
and Betty Alligood from Washing
ton, North Carolina, explained that
another reason they chose the same
school was so they could share the
same clothes. .The Hubbard twins
Coed Life Has Advantages/Challenges
For Meredith Girls in NCSU Classes
from Dillon, South Carolina, added
a third reason which all the twins
applauded — two from the same
family can live cheapcr at Meredith
than one.
One interesting fact about each
of the four sets of twins is that two
sets suite together, one pair rooms
together, and one set aims at being
on opposite sides of the court. The
latter pair, Suzanne and Annelise
Ware from Richmond, Virginia, ad
mit that they do try to call each
other once a day! Jenny and Judy
Hubbard, who room together, said
that on the positive side they never
get homesick. Yet, they realize that
they do not have the opportunity
of learning to adjust to living with a
strange roommate. Betty Alligood
said, “It’s like having one of your
best friends living in your suite.”
When asked how it feels to be ,a
twin, the girls all replied that It is
like any other sister relationship.
Jane Alligood said “Physically we're
twins, but apart from that we’re
completely different.” Lou Fleming
pointed out the main disadvantage
of being a Iwin by saying,“It’s hard
to make people realize that we are
two individuals, not one person with
four arms, four legs, and two
heads.”
All the girls have had some laughs
over people mistaking them for
their twin. On the other hand, it
took one girl on fourth Stringfield
two weeks to realize that Lou and
Wray Fleming were twins. Also,
people have associated Suzanne and
Annelise as twins, but not of each
other. It seems as if Annelise’s
roommate last year resembled Suz
anne and Annelise more than they
resembled each other. Annelise said
the funniest thing is to meet boys
who use the line, “We like you both,
and we don’t know which one to
date.” So they don’t date either one
of us!
There may be four sets of twins
at Meredith, but they are eight dis
tinct personalities.

Entering a world of computers,
engineering, and men, Meredith
girls are attending classes at North
Carolina State University. Through
the work of a joint committee on in-
ter-instulionai co-operation, 'the two
schools have begun an exchange
program.
Lynn Dodge, a senior, is taking a
two semester archives course through
the inter-institutional plan. Very
enthusiastic about her course, Lynn
says, “This program is one of the
greatest things that has ever hap
pened to us.” Lynn has the oppor
tunity to take the lecture coursc first
semester and work in the Depart
ment of Archives sccond semester,
as part of her course. Out of the
ten people in her class, Lynn and
a boy from State are the only under
graduates.
Another senior, Mary Arakas, is
taking a course in political parties.
Although the ratio of boys to girls in
her class is three to one, she says,
“Being in class with boys isn’t really
so different. The thing that takes the
mosfgetting used to is the classroom
in Harrillson Hall because it doesn’t
have windows.”
Susan Hernly says, “The first day
of class I was the first one there
so 1 chose the most inconspicuous
seat. I was afraid the professor would
be prejudiced against a girl in engi
neering graphics, but he wasn’t at
all.” Susan, a sophomore, is the
only girl in the class of freshman
boys.
Ann Overby, one of two girls in
a class with twenty-six boys, says
there is “a lot of difference
being in class with boys. Boys seem
more at ease speaking in front of
the class, as if they were lecturers.”
Math courses interest Sandra
Holder and Carolyn Kennedy. “Al
though the class is more impersonal
than ones here,” Sandra comments,
“my professor is really good. The
campus is also more impersonal.
The boys you know from class are
nice, but the people walking on
campus never just say ‘Hi’.”
From the comments of the six girls
participating in the program this
year, the' exchange on campus
seems to be a very worthwhile scho
lastic and social experience.
