By SHERA JACKSON Rin^ng the doorbell at the home management house begins a visit to a home as warm and friendly as one’s next-door neighbor’s. Seniors Judith Alexander, Gaye Felton, Frances Hayes, Nancy Herring, and Ruth Montgomery ate the home economics majors who, as their su pervisor Miss Margaret Clark says, “are putting their program into prac tice and working as a family unit.” Home economics majors who take economics of the home be^n with an hour lecture, then complete the three-hour course by moving into the home management house for four weeks. Eighteen ^rls will be living in the house during this school Friendliness, Freedom Impress New Staffer Miss Whittaker Views Cdege Experience By JOY O’BERRY The friendliness and freedom of the students are the two most im pressive qualities of Meredith Col lege, according to Miss Catherine Whittaker, new assistant dean of women. After arriving on our cam pus, Miss Whittaker noticed that the friendly atmosphere among stu dents extended into student-faculty relationships as well. She was also impress^ by the freedom and re sponsibility the girls have in the or ganizational set-up of dormitory life and their participation in student- faculty committees. When asked what she thought would be the future of higher edu cation, her reply was, “My main concern Involves how higher educa tion is going to master the major revolutionary forces of our time. Just as the coUe^ has a responsibility both to student and to society, the student also has his responsibility to the college community in the de- maiKls of the social and intellectual Ufe.” With a degree in education from Radford College and an M.A. in religious education from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Miss Whittaker came to Meredith after doing social work at Kentucky Cor rectional Institute for Women, Louisville, Kentucky. An early in terest in student personnel work and guidance led Miss Whittaker to her position here at Meredith. Originally from Virginia, Miss Whittaker now lives in Hickory, North Carolina. Miss Whittaker’s advice to the students at Meredith is to take ad vantage of the opportunities avail able today, to become aware of the po>ssibilities around them and to utilize them. She wants students to realize that ^Hoday is an exciting time to be a young person.” year. Gaye says, “You move over completely into the house and see your roommate only in chanel, but it’s fun.” Using linen napkins every meal, buying groceries on a budget, and entertaining at formal dinners make the girls realize all the extras that running a home entails. Having to manage the house completely makes the girls, as Nancy says, “very in dependent. You don’t realize how many resources you have un^ you use them.” There are five main duties that the girls share. The cook prepares fourteen meals, aided by her as sistants. Being cook also includes shoppmg for the week’s groceries, postiiig a list of the menus, calories, and time schedule for cooking, writ ing the recipes on cards, and telling the hostess how to set the table. Beginning her week of cooking, Ruth Montgomery said “After I finish cooking, I might survive to enjoy living here.” The hostess sets the table, ar ranges flowers, and plans the enter tainment. During each girl’s turn as cook she prepares two formal meals, and the hostess arranges the table. On October 29, the ^Is entertained at a cookout with their dates. A housekeeper to keep the lovely house in order and a manager to check dorm cards complete the po sitions to which the girls rotate. The house is a large one with three bedrooms, a study, a living room, dining room, family room, kitchen, bath, and entrance hall, and needs the diligent care the girls give it. Selecting a project to improve the home is a new idea these five girls have begun. Making curtains for the upstairs bathroom and study ing the history of the furniture in the house will add, as Miss Clark says, “some of life’s extras.” Living in the home management house, Gaye says, “shows you that you know a lot you didn’t know you knew.” Frances agrees when she says, “Being here brings together everything we’ve learned in the past four years—and a little more.” Home ecoDOmics majors prepare their evening meal.

The faculty, with their “Psy- chodelia” theme, evoked laughter as they staged an authentic “hippie” demonstration for their costume pa rade. Dressed as the flower-children of Haight-Ashbury, faculty and staff members carried revolutionary “protest” signs advocating every thing from “co-ed dorms” to “flower power.” Their song, led by Dr. John Yarbrough, Mr. Henry Coffer, and Dr. Thomas Parramore, was one of the highlights of a fun-filled evening. “WHO’S WHO” By MARTHA ELLEN WALKER A period of enlightenment for this editor of the Oak Leaves began on October 19, in Chicago, Illinois. This was the setting for the forty-third annual conference of the Associated Collegiate Press, in which over 120 delegates participated. Editors and business managers were present from colleges and universities span ning the continent, from the Uni versity of Miami to the University of Ottawa and Alaska State. {Continued from page 1) Smith, home economics major from Spencer, member of Legislative Board; Brenda Smith, English major from Dillon, South Carolina, chief counselor; Lynn O’Dell Washington, French major from Hopewell, Vir ginia, former president of the Junior Class; and Patsy Wilson, math ma- vv^j. «a « pcaucim jor, from Thomasville, president of stand-up demonstration by several the Junior Class. members of the “hippie” faction of The fourteen seniors will be rec ognized on Awards Day in May when they will be presented i certificate honoring their accom plishments. The opening convocation was held on Thursday evening with Senator Gale McGee of Wyoming as the guest speaker. His controversial topic, “Vietnam: In Perspective” aroused many student questions and comments as well as a peaceful the audiencc. This convention of yearbook, newspaper, and magazine represen tatives was exposed to the newest trends and intracacies involved m photojournalism, layout, typography and advertising. The two remaining days were de voted to hourly topic sessions during which prominent speakers or panels delved with students into such areas as “Free Press and Free Trial,” “How to Succeed in Yearbook Busi ness without Really Trying,” and “Need for Journalism Ethics.” At least ten different programs were of fered each hour to insure small groups a free-flowing exchange of problems and ideas. It was readily discovered that editors across the na tion are burdened with the same problems—students’ lack of aesthet ic appreciation, insufficient funds, and contracts with obsolete, expen sive firms. All group discussions were cen tered in promoting flair and in genuity in publications. New de partures from standard formats were strikingly appealing and chal lenging. The traditions of a dedica tion, superlatives and posed, stilted group pictures were considered an tediluvian by the experts and stu dents. A Friday afternoon banquet fea tured the renowned poetry editor of The Saturday Review, John Ciardi, whose witty comments on the tedium of a journalist were applauded. The presentation of Pacemaker Awards was also made at this time by the American Newspaper Publishers Association, with highest honora awarded to “The Daily Tar Heel” of tlie University of North Caro lina at Chapel Hill as the b^t daily collegiate newspaper in the na tion. The convention was fruitful for all editors, who returned to their cluttered publication rooms with new grist for their journalistic mills.
