YDC at Meredith
discusses goals
Placement ...
Meredith’s Young
Democrats Club (Y.D.C.) had
its first meeting of the year
Tuesday, September 4. The
members discussed goals and
projects for this year’s club and
elected officers.
The Y.D.C. for 1973-74 will
establish the background for a
strong and enthusiastic club by
uniting the party once again,
working on fund raising and
becoming involved in upcoming
issues in the North Carolina
Democratic Party.
This summer the National
Convention was held in
Louisville, Kentucky. Ann Wall
and Cathy Rodenberg
represented the Meredith
chapter at the convention.
Some Meredith
representatives attended the
fund raising dinner sponsored
by the state Y.D.C. in honor of
Senator Sam Ervin September 8
in Drexel. Also at the dinner
and following parties were
noted scholars, senators, and
some politicians from other
states. The Meredith chapter
will also be participating in a
nationwide telethon on Sep
tember 15.

with the U.S. Department of
State are available. Foreign
Service carries the Respon
sibility of conducting relations

ternational organizations; tor
protecting and advancing
political - economic and com
mercial interests of the United
States overseas; and for ren
dering a variety of services to
individual Americans abroad
and to foreign nationals
traveling in the United States.
Additional information and
application forms are available

prospective teachers are:
November 10, 1973, and
January 26, April 6, and July 20,
1974. The tests will be given at
nearly 500 locations throughout
the United States, ETS said.
Results of the National
Teacher Examinations are used
by many large school districts
as one of several factors in the
selection of new teachers and
by several states for cer
tification or licensing of
teachers. Some colleges also
require all seniors preparing to
teach to take the examinations.
Some of the meetings will
be merged with those of N.C.
State’s Y.D.C. in an effort to
gather more information about
happenings in the Democratic
Party.
If you would like to join the
club just contact any of the
newly elected officers who are
Cathy Rodenberg, president;
Donna Taylor, vice-president;
Kathy McGrath, secretary; and
Cindy Snipes, treasurer.
N. C. Demo Party sets rally
MCA sees big year
The big word in the
Meredith Christian Association
this year is “Christyle.” A term
borrowed from last spring’s
REW, it means the individual’s
particular and unique way of
serving God and Christ. Ac
cording to Louise McCaskill,
president, the MCA must be “an
example of our lives.”
Therefore, this year’s emphasis
will beon living the Christian
life in everyday situations.
Concern with the female
role in today’s world is evident
in plans for the two major
events of the MCA calendar. On
October 9-10, the MCA Forums
will present discussions on the
topic “Human Sexuality.”
Religious Emphasis Week, for
the first time in November,
focuses on the place and im
portance of women, par
ticularly Christian women, in
all areas of life.
A more concentrated effort
to increase student par
ticipation in the Wednesday
services is seen in the Worship
Committee’s plans for the year.
The programs will be entirely
student-planned and student-
run, utilizing more of the
diverse talents on campus.
Various members of the MCA
will be in charge of a particular
service, doing with it what they
want. Also, as in previous
years, outside groups and
speakers will take part in the
services. Some of those ten
tatively planned to lead worship
during the fall semester are the
Baptist Student Union, a
speaker connected with the
Billy Graham Crusade, Albert
Long, Joe Mason and Heather
Walker, Miss North Carolina,
1973.
The North Carolina
Democratic Party will hold the
biggest rally in its history on
September 15 at Reynolds
Coliseum in Raleigh. This state
wide rally is being staged in
conjunction with the National
Democratic seven-hour
Telethon originating in
California on NBC-TV at 7 PM.
The theme, “American
Goes Public,” will be accented
with the excitement of auction
sales of meat and other hard-to-
get items ; door prizes including
a color TV set; live en
tertainment with such groups
as “The Generation Gap,” “The
Midnight Minstrels,” “The
Dynamic Upsetters,” vocalist
Carol Sloane, organist Terry
Phillips, and featuring the
originators of the new record
sensation “Senator Sam,”
Charles Burt and Charlie Hicks.
Popular radio star Pat Pat
terson will act as emcee.
Reports of pledges from across
the state and nation will be
viewed on TV screens to be set
up in the Coliseum.
Mrs. Marvin R. Daughtry
of Garner, Rally Chairmail,
said, “’Thousands of en
thusiastic Democrats from all
over the State are planning to
be here in Raleigh. Orders for
chartered buses have been
made to bring in the crowds.
Every effort is being made by
each Democratic Precinct
Chairman and Vice Chairman
in the state to make this Raleigh
Rally a really big show.”

Meredith is again at its
capacity enrollment this year.
Approximately 1300 students
have enrolled. The freshman
class is slightly smaller than
last year because more up
perclassmen have returned to
the campus and a larger
number of transfers were ac
cepted.
Since 1968, Meredith has
steadily increased its
enrollment from 882 to its op
timum enrollment of ap
proximately 1300, as projected
in a college long-range plan. All
residence facilities are full, just
as they were last year.
Facility improvements on
the campus include renovation
of Jones Auditorium, Belk
Dining Hall, the fourth floor of
Stringfield Residence Hall, and
the addition of 100 parking
spaces to the campus.
Improvements to Jones
Auditorium include air con
ditioning, acoustical treatment,
and redecoration. Belk Dining
Hall improvements include
renovated kitchen facilities and
new wall paper.
Continuing Education, after
one year of operation, has
doubled its offering of non
credit enrichment courses.
Seven courses are being of
fered, beginning in early
September, in the areas of art,
music, English, religion, and
history.
