PAGE 4 THE TWIG Stpttmbt^ S, 1972 MRA Rejuvenated The letters M.R.A, are al ready being heard more often on campus than ever before. “The reason,” states Linda Ehrlich, MRA President, “is that the Meredith Recreation Association is starting early to provide new activities and bring back the old better than ever.” An increasingly popular means of transportation and recreation is evidenced by the presence of shining new bicy cles parked in every conceiv able “hitching post” on the Meredith campus. MRA is now working towards acquiring more parking space and shel ters for the bikes. Also, the association is trying to find suitable areas for bike rid ing. The MRA sponsored a freshman bike tour which in spired possible plans for bi cycle picnics to Lake John son or Umstead Park. The volleyball tournament posters herald the fact that MRA is striving to revive intramural sports — which GIVE A HOOT? DON'T POLLUTE Meet Woodsy Owl.

Kurtz, Associat- Carter OnHonor In realizing the intime ser iousness of our willing com mitment to the Honor Code, we are affirming our belief in the highest principles of humanity. As we live each day, there are some things that are not going to make long range differences in our lives; however, if we have lived with the knowledge that we have kept full faith in mu tual trust with fellow human beings, this is of the essence of being of worthy existence. For some 350 of us this is our initial commitment to the Honor Code at Meredith. Be fore you even filed application to Meredith College you were made fully aware of the Honor System and of the essential nature of its operation in our community. GET YOUR I. D.

RIDGEWOOD BEAUTY SHOP Ridgewood Shopping Center 833-4632 ed Administrator for Com munications and Public Af fairs, Health Services and Mental Health Administration, and coordinator of the pro ject, said the campaign is being undertaken partly be cause there seems to be wide misunderstanding among A- merican youth about foreign drug laws and their enforce ment. Kurtz, who helped di rect production of film spots to be distributed to all com mercial and college stations in this country, warned that apparent lax enforcement is an illusion. He said this misconception is encouraged sometimes by what seems to be widespread use of drugs overseas and the easy availability of mind-al tering substances in many for eign countries. And he added that many drug dealers play a double game by tipping off police as to Americans to whom they have made drug sales. This is a reprint of a news release from the U. S. De partment of Health, Educa tion and Welfare. MCA PLANS YEAR by Angie Clinton The Meredith Christian As sociation welcomes you to the exciting activities it has plan ned for this year.
