Dating Game Nets Over $100
For Student Activities Board
Jones Auditorium resembled a
television studio on the afternoon of
January 24 as The Dating Game,
sponsored by the Student Activities
Board of Meredith, was held. Pre
siding over the occasion was Thom
Vourlas of N. C. State.
The first bachelorette to choose
her date was senior Jane AHigood.
The contenders for the date were
hidden from her by screens on the
stage. Jane opened the questioning
by asking the boys what they
thought of the rain. Contending for
the date with Jane were Allen Eber-
hardt, Howard Wallace, and Dave
Brazell, all of State. Jane chose
Howard Wallace and the couple
won free tickets to see “Love Story”
at the Cardinal Theatre. Jane said
she chose Howard because he
seemed to have extra sensory per
ception.
Bob Mauney, a student from
State, chose Blanche Bailey as his
date and won a night of entertain
ment at The Other Eye by doing so.
Other girls competing for the date
were Equilla Minga and Gwen
Daye. Bob said that he chose
Blanche because she said less,
Junior Cassandra Crump had to
choose among Johnny Mullis, John
Hester, and Paul Schaffer for an
evening and free dinner at the Zoom
Zoom Restaurant in Chapel Hill.
Cassandra asked each of the three
contenders what their reaction
would be if Dean Mason was to
chaperone their date. She finally
chose John Hester as her date for
the evening.
In the final round of The Dating
Game, Mike Schultz of State chose
Susan DeLeon and won a free night
of ice shating at the Daniel Boone
Ice Skating Rink. Stevie Schaffer
and Dottie Sink were the other par
ticipants.
Profits from the occasion totaled
over $100. The Student Activities
Board is considering the possibility
of buying a juke box for the Hut
with the proceeds.
Ellen Brewer Home Ec. House:
Experience in "Family" Living
What is the dread and fear
of every self-respecting freshman,
sophomore, and junior home eco
nomics major? Why, living in the
home management house, of course.
From the moment a girl begins her
four years in home economics she
begins wondering how in the world
she will ever be able to cook for a
week and be evaluated on it.
For three years she asks every
senior she meets who has lived in
the house just how it was. From
good reports and bad she sums up
the situation and determines that no
one gives the answer for which she
is looking.
Finally the day arrives for her to
go to The House for a preliminary
conference. Someone opens the door
and leads her to the conference
room. Miss Margaret Clark’s study,
as she marvels over how immaculate
the rooms look and again gulps in
disbelief at her actually being there.
When the three other girls in her
group arrive, plans for the move are
made. The wheels begin to turn.
REW: "A Crisis of Confidence'';
An Opportunity to Communicate
Religious Emphasis Week began
with a slide presentation by Rick
Traylor and Davis Bowen; the
choral group singing “Just As I
Am;” a responsive reading by
Michel Quoist; Libbo Leathers sing
ing “Theme from Valley of the
Dolls," accompanied by Fair Merri-
man; and Clint Dunagan, guest
speaker for REW, speaking on “A
Believable Me.”
Monday’s chapel was just the be
ginning of the many activities
planned for REW which will end to
morrow. “Awakenings” were held
every morning at 7:30 when coffee
and doughnuts were served. Open
house with speakers in the Hut was
held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. The Hut
was also used for group discussions
every afternoon beginning at 3:00.
The majority of these discussions,
entitled “A View From the Street”
were led by Ron Willis.
Dormitory discussions were held
every night in each of the six dormi
tories on campus, and Wednesday
night was climaxed by an all-night
film festival in the Weatherspoon

Already the first cook has made out
her menus, and the first housekeeper
is making her plan of attack against
the ever present enemy — dust.
The girls leave with the idea that
living in the house might be hard,
but it is not as forboding as they
might have imagined.
About a week after that first of
many conferences the girls come
back with their bags and boxes ready
to stay. They are oriented to the
house and work areas for several
hours and take up their positions for
the week: cook, assistant cook,
housekeeper and hostess, The girls
are excited and not a little nervous
about their new undertaking. The
first week is one of adjustment to
living in a closely knit situation and
looking for equipment and such.
Miss Clark, teacher and supervisor
in the house, is very helpful along
these lines and offers innumerable
hints to smooth the way for each
girl.

Students Leave Third Johnson;
Remaining Memories Good, Bad
Beginning February 1, University
of North Carolina Television will
launch a year-long, statewide tele
vision project on drug information.
This project will call upon the best
efforts of civic leaders, organiza
tions, specialists and state institu
tions, The goal is to stimulate an
awareness of the national problem
of drug abuse and relate that prob
lem to North Carolina.
Numerous organizations and
agencies arc already operating
strong programs concerning drug in
formation, drug abuse prevention,
rehabilitation and legislation. Many
professionals are devoting their lives
to drug problems. Scores of citizens
have questions about drugs.
The TELEVISION PROJECT
ON DRUG INFORMATION will
offer men and women committed
to drug education a means to stimu
late others to commit themselves, or
at least, to become better informed.
The springboard will be eight ex
cellent nationally produced pro
grams called The Turned On Crisis.
The dialog will be possible on five
Monday evenings when citizens in
the UNC-TV studios at Raleigh,
Chapel Hill, and Greensboro, and
by telephone will be able to discuss
drug issues via live, spontaneous
television programs.
Coordinator of the project is Dr.
Jack Porter, Director NCSU Tele
vision Center.
Upon returning to school this fall,
many Meredith students were sur
prised to learn that some of the
freshmen and transfer students were
living on the third floor of Johnson
Hall.
It is only natural that there would
be complaints and inconveniences
not living in a dormitory with the
rest of the student body. Despite the
“horrible echo” and the lack of
furniture, the students who lived in
Johnson Hall experienced many
situations that normally do not face
the average college student. But
these experiences were not all un
pleasant.
For example, Nancy Liesfeld, a
junior transfer from the University
of Richmond, reflects humorously
upon her semester in Johnson Hall.
“You couldn’t say anything without
everyone hearing, so naturally
everyone knew just about everything
about everyone else.” Nancy did say
that living so closely helped the girls
develop a strong sense of together
ness. “I didn't have one or two
roommates, I actually had ten,”
Nancy concluded.
Another good feature of living in
Johnson Hall included the use of
Bryan Rotunda as a parlor. The girls
realized that they would never again
have a parlor with red carpeting and
spiral staircases.
Ruth Edwards, a junior transfer
student from Peace, stated, “I really
got to know all the girls. After all, I
lived closely with twenty of them. It
was more like a family than a dormi
tory situation.
