PAGE 2 THE TWIG S^pt^wbe.A. 1972 THE TWIG MEREVITH COLLEGE BEWARE OF THIS RACKET Once again this year I have received through the mail an ad for THE TWIG concerning a firm in California under the name of “Termpaper Arsenal, Inc.” The firm enclosed the ad below for publication in THE TWIG not only as advertisement of their TERM PAPERS Send for your descriptive, up-to-date, 128-page, mail order catalog of 2,300 quality termpapers. Enclose $1.00 to cover postage and handling. WE ALSO WRITE CUSTOM MADE PAPERS, Termpaper Arsenal, Inc. “We need a local salesman" own ‘‘custom made papers” but also as a plea for a‘‘local salesman,” In April of last year, just such a ‘‘local salesman” set up business here in Raleigh for a grand total of one week before Dr, Sarah Lemmon of Meredith, various other Raleigh college representatives, and local law enforcement officers ‘‘cracked” the firm’s Illegal operation according to North Carolina state laws. We at Meredith must realize our responsibility in cases just such as this most recent one. Not only must we, as stu dents, be made aware of the state illegality of accepting ma terials from any firm such as ‘‘Termpaper Arsenal, Inc.,” we must also accept all responsibilities. Although the firm claims to be the ‘‘number one distributor of research material in the U.S. and Canada,” it operates illegally in North Carolina as a warehouse for ‘‘2300 term papers,” Our other responsibilities as students are to the College Itself. We are supposed to have an Honor Code which is self- regulated and self-disciplined enough to allow students to re cognize the implications of firms such as this one and to make free choices concerning these occurrences. It is to be hoped that students at Meredith realize the responsibilities placed upon them when faced with such a situation. EDITORS XOTE I would like to clear up one inconsistency in the last TWIG issue editorial on ‘‘Meredith; A Totality?” In that column, I mentioned that President Weems and Dean Burris ‘‘have al ready introduced the idea of having students participate on some of the standing committees.” With all apologies to those in volved, I must correct that statement to refer further in Mere dith history to 1967,when students were first named to standing committees, particularly the Concert and Lectures Commit tee. In 1969, the committee structure was reorganized to in clude students on nearly all the standing committees. Hence, the IDEA of having student representation on standing com mittees is actually of longer heritage than I at first gave cre dit for. Hence, I take this opportunity to clear up the past mis interpretation and to apologize for it. TWIG Notice During the following weeks, THE TWIG will feature a ser ies of articles dealing with individual departmental ex pectations concerning the ma jor areas of study offered at Meredith. In order to aid stu dents in deciding which field of study to follow, the stories will also Include possible career choices for each ma jor, how the courses are rele vant to job experiences, and what the students may expect from the departments in the way of additional require ments. The first article will be con cerned with the English De partment, and will be follow ed at weekly Intervals by sim ilar stories concerning the other departments. MEMORIAM A memorial service was held at Meredith for the slain Israeli athletes on September 5 at 9:30 p.m. in the court. Approximately 200 students expressed their deep con cern and regret for the shat tering of the dream-like ideal ism of the Olympics. The service was marked by the hope that the games must continue in spite of the ir reparable tragedy of this event. LETTER TO THE EUITOR To the Editor: While McGovern burned down the campaign trail, Meredith girls were also doing their part. Thirty-five “an gels” congregated in the Hut for the McGovern coffeehouse. As “revolutionaries” Janice Sams and Amy Pierce sang “Readjustment Blues” (dedi cated to Richard Nixon), and other “radicals” munched on popcorn and brownies. Among "he honored guests were Dr. Sarah Lemmon, Ms. Erika Fairchild, both of the Mere dith faculty, and Ms. Ann Leake of UNC-CH. The fellowship enjoyed by the McGovern comrades fill ed an otherwise unintellectual Friday evening. It was sad to realize that the coffeehouse took a close second in popu larity to State’s first week end of “educational” frater nity parties. Still Meredith McGovern supporters are en thusiastic!!!

However, the Art De partment is proud to announce that it will continue to buzz. As soon as all facilities of the new Student Union are completed, the Art and Home Economics Departments will be making use of several areas of the Beehive. The Home Ec. Department will be using part of the available space for projects with furniture refin ishing. The Art Department will be using the old post of fice area for the power tools that have formerly disturbed some classes in Joyner Hall. The Soda fountain area will be the new home of the de partment’s press and other print-making equipment. They will also have an area desig nated for ceramics. Recently, the art students have been extremely cramp ed and all welcome the extra space. This arrangement is not the solution to the prob lem. The department needs a separate building on cam pus or a relocation in a pre sent building. ”Car ousel” (Continued from page D MALE VAHCERS Male dancers include Chip Rose, Howard Penny, John Ward, Louis Skelton, and Bob Wrenn (who is also a member of the chorus).
