PAGE 4 THE TWIG NOVEMBER 1, 1973 A Meredith shows new film series TWIG newsbriefs SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMERS Pioneers of Modern Painting, the new six-part film series written and narrated by Kenneth Clark, has been made available to Cooperating Raleigh Colleges, in the co-sponsorship with the North Carolina Museum of Art, free of charge from the Extension Service of the National Gallery of Art in Washington. The distribution of Pioneers of Modern Painting has been made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The first film on Edouard Manet was shown on Monday October, at 11:00 a.m. in the Meredith College College Center Auditorium. The showing of the Paul Cezanne film was held on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. at Meredith College in 103 Joyner. The distribution and showing of these films follows the pattern of the Extension Service’s distribution of Civilisation, Lord Clark’s previous highly acclaimed film series, which has now been viewed on more than 600 campuses and in their com munities. The new series covers the life and works of six leading artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; Edouard Manet, Paul Cezanne, Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Henri Rousseau, and Edvard Munch. A 45-minute color film has been devoted to each of the six artists whom Lord Clark considers to be “the pioneers of what we still call modern painting”. Most of the series was filmed in France, with the exception of Edvard Munch which was photographed in Norway, the artists’s native country. Lord Clark has not relied solely, however, on the painting found in the artists’ own country. Pioneers of Modern Painting was produced by Colin Clark, Lord Clark’s son. Although Colin Clark has been a television producer since 1956, this is the first father-son venture. Meredith’s synchronized swimmers will put on a workshop this week at Catawba College. Mrs. Fran Vandiver and six of her swimmers will conduct a demonstration workshop for the Catawba Club on November 2 and 3. This workshop will include basic stunts, strokes and choreography. The girls who will lead the workshop are Sherri McGee, Beth Gray, Chris Speight, Lee Pen nington, and Linda Huneycutt. Also, last week’s TWIG incorrectly stated that the swimming group contained nine girls, rather than the fourteen members who in clude Sherri McGee, Beth Gray, Chris Speight, Gail Phelan, Mary Charles Whitehurst, Robin Byington, Kathleen Morgan, Lynn Champion, Lee Pennington, Reya Blount, Janet Koonce, Debbie Coggins, Kathy Fuller, and Linda Huneycutt. The TWIG regrets the error. teer), a group of Junior and Senior High School, College, and young adults, will have their monthly meeting on November 12, at the Jaycee Community Center on Wade Avenue.

(Let Us Volun- Volleyball team wins match and asks suppwt fw season The Volleyball team has begun its season with a vic tory over Chowan on Oct. 9, winning two out of three matches. The team members are Amy Garber, Susan Daniels, C. C. Wiggins, Beth Veasey, Pam Hall, Pam Powers, Robin Sweezy, Karen Blalock, and Karen Greace. C. C. is the captain of the team this year. None of the players have had previous experience except C.C., so this year has been spent in building the team. The team was started in the form of an unscheduled class and this was the reason that there were no tryouts as such. The schedule is Nov. 1 - Elon and High Point (7:00); Nov. 6 - Atlantic Christian and Duke (5:00); and Nov. 8- N. C. Wesleyan (4:00). The matches are at home except for the last one, so everyone is asked to come out and support the team. On the basketball scene, tryouts will be sometime during the week of Nov. 16. Ms. Farrell will be coaching the team and she has told the former players to begin getting in shape by running and exercising. The first game will be played after Christmas, with following games being played on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week during the basketball season. Sophomore slump Marsha Allen cleverly typifies that “blah” feeling that hits second year college students everywhere.
