II t)(dongs to Mrs. H, (denn Whit,;, .Jr., who this year look lh^ position ot assistant dean oi stud(;nts lor campus life, iorrrH^rly h(;ld hy Mrs. .Jean 'l’(tague. Mrs. While is excited aJ)out her new work and has already nol(Hl a unique atmosphere at Meredith that sh; “can’t quite pul a linger on’’. Sh(? feels that there is nior(i maturity among the studfmts here than there was al other schools where she worked. But she thinks this “discovery” may have come from her contacts with only lh(; student leaders, upperclassmen, on campus. Mrs. While has always possessed a desire to work with young people and an interest in psychology. But she never planned in high school or college to he a college administrator. She not(,‘d that lives lend to fall logeth(,‘r, rather than to he planned neatly step hy step, and that she has enjoyed her life “as it fell, learning from evemy experience”. A particularly memorable event in Mrs. White’s life was the Miss North Carolina pageant in l!»r>H. Winner of the lirsl Miss (Joldsboro contest, she was runner-up to the winning Miss North Carolina that year. She graduated irom U N.C.-C. in BJJJd came to Raleigh to leach school. She first taught fourth grade at Barbee Klemenlary School and then moved to Albert Rout Klemenlary School and a sixth grade exceptionally gifted class. Here in Raleigh, she met II. Glenn While, Jr., whom she married. After live years of leaching, Mrs. While returned to school and received her M. Ed. degree from U.N.C.-Chapel Hill. She became a girls’ counselor at Carroll Junior high in Raleigh and through her work there, learned that her true interest lay in work with girls. She moved to a college position at Peace after two years at Carroll because she especially enjoyed older girls and fell tha' she could best relate to them since her background had been so similar to theirs. A firm believer in college (education in general as preparation for life, Mrs. White particularly likes the concept of an all-girls’ college that “prepares more for the future” than coed schools do. Relaxation in dress and concentration on studies are the two major advantages she sees. On a campus of all girls, students can forget worry over their appearance and behavior and locus their attention on their learning and on fulfilling leadership roles in student government. Mrs. White feels that a woman’s college gives girls a belter education. Here at Meredith she sees a combination ol the ' best ol two worlds”; there are chances for privacy and retreat from outside concerns, yet there are amply opportunities for involvement in social and service activities of the Raleigh area, l(X). The new assistant dean of students hopes to be “a liason between students and the college” as she works with the student government agencies. Mrs While feels that the philosophy of the college must be interpreted to the students and incorporated into the students’ lives if Meredith is to combat its problems with student involvement. She sees on Meredith’s campus two general trends that plague most college campuses today - apathy and unwillingness to lake responsibility lor actions. “Meredith needs constructive leadership from its’ students,’’she said. Mrs. While likes and wants student involvement. She views the relationship between Meredith and its students as a reciprocal one, saying, “I would think that any girl enrolled here would want to give a little of herself to Meredith.” Mrs. White s enthusiasm in her work is contagious and makes her a welcome addition to the Dean of Students Office.

She has also done further study at New York State Teacher’s University in Albany, New York, North Carolina Central University in Durham, and Meredith College. On Monday night, September 24, 1973, a rally to launch her campaign was held in the basement of First Baptist Church on Wilmington and Morgan Streets. The rally was compi ised of a skit given in the format of the television program “This Is Your Life . Included in the skit were various people who have known Mrs. Wimberly throughout her endeavors in life Some of these people inciuded not only her friends and associates but her husband, W.P. Wimberley and their two children. Carmen and Peele. Beginning with her early childhood and working forward in time, the skit was composed of a short synopsis given by each person in the skit which revealed her various teaching experiences as well as membership in many community organizations. She has not only taught at Carver School in Mt. Olive, North Carolina (where she was born), but also in the Raleigh public schools and at Meredith College. It was mentioned that she has also worked with the American Independent Schools in Japan. During the conclusion of the skit, Mrs. Wimberley spoke a few words on her ideas for a need of updating teacher materials in the educational area. letter to THE EDITOR: (Continued from page 2) the three student publications”. The committee heard such suggestions as Miss Informed’s proposal that capitalization be standardized and Miss Angel’s idea that students don’t write many letters to the editor. The MRS. CLIFF WIMBERLY chairman thanked the group for these and other timely suggestions and proposed that, there being no particular reason to meet in October, the committee’s next and last meeting of the semester be held in November. This proposal was met with more enthusiasm than any made during the meeting. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Gloria Steinem!
