P October 9, 1969 Newly>elected frcshmun class officers pose as they take over their class’s reins. They are, left to right, Jean McLaughlin, treasurer; Cindy Giorgis, Com Huskin’ co chairman; and Lynn Moore, president. Not pictured is Becky Freeman, Corn Huskin’ co-chairman. Lynn Moore Directs Freshman Class “I was very excited, especially after I talked to my parents,” said Lynn Moore, new elected president of the Freshman Class. Lynn won the election Tuesday, September 30, along with Jean McLaughlin, trea surer and Cindy Giorgas and Becky Freeman, Corn-Huskin’ chairmen. Freshmen elections were con ducted in a different way this year. Only the offices of president, treasurer, and Corn-Huskin’ chair men were elected first. Other candi dates filed a week later. The new president is enthusiastic about her job. She added to the elections, as well as the usual intro duction of candidates to the other members of the class, an open-house where the class had a chance to talk to and get acquainted with the candidates before election night. She also organized the class by halls letting each hall vote at fifteen minute intervals insuring that each member would remember to vote. The class has already had two meetings to discuss Corn-Huskin’ and according to Lynn the class is enthusiastic about this Meredith tradition. “Our whole class really seemed unified for the first time,” she said as they began working on Corn-Huskin’. Elections for other class officers were completed Tuesday night. Scot- tie Noel was elected vice-president and Linda Goodrich, secretary. Freshmen representatives to the leg islative Board will be Rita Ritchie and Dottie Sink. Stunt co-chairmen are Susan Sim mons and Lee Sloan, MCA repre sentative is Pamela Hendrick and MRA board member is Linda Ehr- lich. Nancy Bass will serve as her class’s representative to the Elec tions Board.

The other five test dates are De cember 13, 1969; January 17, Feb ruary 28, April 25 and July 11, 1970. Equivalent late fee and reg istration deadlines apply to these dates. Choice of test dates should be determined by the requirements of graduate schools or fellowships to which one is applying. Scores are usually reported to graduate schools HUDSON BELK YOUR STORE THE TWIG Acorn to Give Writing Prizes The Acorn, Meredith’s literary magazine, will award a prize of $10.00 for the best article in each issue this year, announces Acorn editor, Donna Armstrong. In addition, three awards of $50.00 each will be given at the end of the year for the best essay, poem, and short story of all issues. Funds for these prizes came from a grant awarded the Acorn last April by the N. C. Arts Council. From a total of $15,000 in grants that the council is giving to support literary publications throughout the state, the Meredith magazine received $300.00 to encourage student par ticipation. Mr. Sam Ragan, chairman of the N. C. Arts Council, announced the award, stating its purpose to be “to discover and encourage new writing talent and support the publication of more works by talented N. C. writers.” Part of the money has already been used for three $50.00 awards to Suzanne Reynolds, Jane Cromley, and Nancy Rouse. A part of these awards also came from the Elizabeth Colton Fund. Donna urges all students to give their articles to their class editor or to her in 221 New Dorm. Page Five five weeks after a test date. Students interested in taking the test on any of the scheduled dates should check in the registrar’s office for further information. The Graduate Record Examina tions include an Aptitude Test of general scholastic ability and Ad vanced Tests measuring achieve ment in 21 major fields of study.

TIL 9:00 SNOOP SCOOP "Free University" In Planning Stage Do you want “the opportunity to design a part of your own studies in ‘real-life’ areas which you won’t get in academics?” Do you want to “bring together students from Raleigh Area cam puses in a mutually beneficial learn ing situation?” Do you have the desire to “dis cover where you are as members of society and the responsibilities for determining the changes that will (and have to) occur?” If you do, then the idea of a “free university” may be closer than you think. An informal group of students from the major campuses in Raleigh are currently engaged in developing an “experimental program in self- education.” The group, which al ready includes representatives from St. Augustine’s, Shaw and NCSU, hopes to involve students from Meredith, as well, says Don Wauc- hope, one of the State members. As yet, notes Wauchope, the group have no specific goals in mind, but eventually hope to work for what participants demand. Students interested in taking part in the group are asked to get in touch with Don Wauchope in the Chemistry department at NCSU for further information. 1502, Berkeley, California 94701; Educational Testing Service, 960 Grove Street, Evanston, Illinois 60201. To All Freshmen, Happiness Is: (1) passing English. (2) a date to a STATE football game. (3) a trip to CAROLINA. (4) a free light cut. (5) a telephone call from a MALE. (6) no homework. (7) an unexpected package in the P.O. (8) a surprise guest in the Dean of Students. (9) a free class cut. (10) the first open weekend. (11) becoming a sophomore. When a freshman makes a mis take and comes in 12:00 on a Sat urday night instead at 1:00, it’s quite understandable. But when a Sophomore makes the same mistake, it’s called a “Sparks” original. Right, Kitty? It seems like some Juniors and Seniors in the New Dorm really crave Tom Jones, Screams from Claris, Debbie and Solloway justify this. We know it’s his singing voice that they’re so crazy about — not his physique, clothes, looks, or even his English accent! Wonder why Vann and String- field seemed so empty last weekend? Guess the freshmen were all singing Simon and Garfunkel’s song “Homeward Bound.” New to Admissions The Admissions Office, usually concerned with admitting students, has some new additions of its own. Miss Shera Jackson, a 1969 graduate of Meredith, is working as admissions counselor, succeeding Mrs. Kay Cockerham Modlin. During the fall semester, Mrs. Ann DeWhitt Mulford will serve as admissions counselor while the other counselors are attending College Day programs in high schools across North Carolina and adjoining states. Mrs. Audrey Gardner has been retained as financial aid assistant in the office. She will handle all student aid applications, replacing Miss Sue Ennis, who will be working exclusively with admissions. Madra Nelson also joins the ad missions staff as secretary. What second Faircloth redhead got caught with her dye on by a guest in the Dean of Students? PREOCCUPATION is when you arrive at the Meredith campus and find that the Drive-In speaker is still in your car! How about that. D.N.? Second Faircloth has their own version of the Supremes! Right, Pomeranz, Swarr, and Upchurch? With Corn-Huskin’ almost here, the participation of all class mem bers is greatly needed. So girls, come on out and help make this Corn- Huskin’ the best that Meredith has ever had. You won’t regret it. Ask P. B, how it feels to have three guests in the D of S’s at one time! Must be nice!!! Funny about those unexpected visits from Pete, K. C.! Thirty min utes notice, you say? We understand some students were pretty vehement over the tele phone company’s delay in installing phones — especially in the New Dorm. “Let’s hear it....” Who’s been writing ten-page let ters to Vietnam, or can you tell us G.A.M.? NOTICE The next issue of the TWIG will be published on Octobcr 23. All articles, ideas or sussestions should be lunied into the TWIG room on First Brewer or into 201 New Dorm by Octobcr 18.
