Plumber^’ to speak
for Nov. convocation
MIS-Egil Krogh, Jr., former
Under Secretary of Tran
sportation and head of the
White House “plumbers unit”
designed to “plug leaks of
national security information,”
will speak at Meredith College
Monday, November 4, at 10
a.m. in Jones Auditorium. His
talk, on “Prison; The Great
Equalizer,” is open to the public
free of charge.
The first of those involved
in the Watergate scandal to be
tried and sentenced, “Bud”
Krogh completed his prison
term at Allenwood Prison
Camp, Pennsylvania, in June.
He pleaded guilty to the charges
against him before Judge
Gessell and gave evidence
freely.
He joined the Nixon ad
ministration in the transition
period of 1968.
As a member of the White
House Staff, Mr. Krogh was
appointed Deputy Counsel to
the President in May, 1969 In
November, 1969, he was ap
pointed Deputy Assistant to the
President for Domestic Affairs
and served concurrently as
Assistant Director of the
Domestic Council Staff.
During the first two years
of the first Nixon ad
ministration, much of Krogh’s
work centered on preparation
for major demonstrations by
dissenters. In his com
mencement address at his alma
mater, Principia College, in
1970, he expressed the view that
government officials should
welcome dissent and that
peaceable assembly and dissent
are best guaranteed by sear
ching for common interests
between government officials
and demonstrators.
As Executive Director on
the Cabinet Committee on
International Narcotics Control
for 4 years, Krogh worked
closely with all of the federal
agencies in the development
and administration of govern
ment policy, programs, and
legislation. He also acted as
District Columbia liaison for
the White House and was
closely concerned with home
rule for Washington and
general improvement of the
city.
In February, 1973, Krogh
was sworn in by President
Nixon as Under Secretary of
Transportation, where his
responsibilities included
developing policies on mass
transit, opening up the federal
highway trust fund for more
flexible uses, and expanding
budgets for aviation. He was
also instrumental in evolving
strong anti-skyjacking
procedures.

Dr. Sally Page lauded
Dr. Sally Page was honored
as one of the major Faulkner
scholars by a recent University
of Alabama Symposium.
The October 18, 19, 20
symposium, “50 years after the
‘Marble Faun’” celebrated the
anniversary of Faulkner’s first
book. Dr. Page, Cleanth
Brooks, Louis Rubin and Joseph
Blotner, were invited to present
papers.
Dr. Page read her paper
“Faulkner’s Sense of the
Sacred” which will be published
by U.A. along with the other
papers presented.
In her paper, Dr. Page
applies Abraham Maslow’s
theory of “Peak Experiences”,
his concept of “Being, Knowing
and Valuing” to Faulkner’s
passages dealing with personal
identity and growth.
Dr. Page, author of
“Faulkner’s Women’’, also
moderated one of the sym
posium’s panels on “Women in
Faulkner”.
After having put up with
“second rate scripts” for the
past three years, seniors made
their “grand finale” Thursday
night at Cornhusking as they
proved they “were not getting
older but getting better”.
Juniors placed second to
the seniors first and their little
sister freshman class came in
third.
The senior theme,
“Bumbling Losers in Ad
vertising Hilarity”, yielded a
parade that captured third
place, a hog calling that tied
with the sophomore’s for second
and a song and tall tale that
took top honors. The parade,
with rhymed script, featured
such advertising greats as
Morris the cat, Euell Gibbons,
Mother Nature, the Burger
TWIG newsbriefs
CLEP
The results from the CLEP
tests which were administered
last spring to the sophomore
class are now available in the
Registrar’s office. Five tests
were given, including math-
sciences, social studies,
humanities, and language arts.
Many colleges and universities
(not including Meredith) now
give course credit for ex
ceptionally high scores on these
tests.

FOUND
A high school class ring has
been found in the Cate Center.

the Beehive.
King, Mrs. Whipple, Aunt
Bluebell, Anita Bryant, and last
but most frequent, Carmelita
Pope. Lyrics discussing dif
ferent commercial categories,
including super-humans and
dingbat dames, were set to
popular commercial theme
songs.
Class president, JoAnn
Williford, as a tube of “Duz it
All”, delighted the audience
with her spiel describing her
product’s amazing versatility.
Juniors, whose theme was
all-time records, took top
honors in the parade category
with a stream of the world’s
superlatives. Meredith faculty
was represented with Jane
Sullivan’s smallest waist and
Sarah Lemmon’s longest smile.
The parade ended abruptly with
the world’s shortest ending.
Junior hog calling took first
place also with Amy Garber as
the BPIPP, the Big Pig in the
Pig Pen, the most beautiful pig
whose extraordinary tail made
her famous. Junior song,
placing second ended with an
invitation to the judges to “look
them over” to see that they
were the best class.
The freshman theme of
“Toyland” brought them third
place overall and second place
in the parade and tall tale.
Their parade, with a script read
by Messrs. Appleby and
Scatterhair, illustrated the
types of toys that a marvelous
toy machine could produce.
The tall tale was delivered by a
paddleball who complained of
mistreatment oy children who
grabbed her around the waist
with sticky fingers or tugged too
hard on her ball.
The sophomores placed
second in their song and hog
calling categories. Their theme
was fads. The song sung to the
tune of “Kids” and “Everybody
Loves Somebody, Sometime”,
was about the diversity of fads
in general and the strange in
terest in streaking in par
ticular. Hog calling was a
turnabout as a policeman
hauled demonstrating,
disgusting “pigs” off to the pen.
In addition to class com
petition, the faculty presented a
tall tale and song in a
Disneyland theme. Dressed as
Disneyland characters, the
faculty rendered a rather
sedate version of the Mickey
Mouse Club song, expressing
the wish, “Forever let us hold
our standards high”. Tall tale
teller, Frank Grubbs as
Tinkerbell, the Disneyland
Fairy Person, satarized the
curriculum reform committee
which supposedly met at Boone
but went to Disneyland instead.
While the judges were
making their decision and
before Cornhusking Chair
person Ginger Kimball an
nounced the winners, Ethel Sue
(otherwise known as Missy
Upchurch) and The Bathtub
Ring sang several country
favorites. They were joined for
a “Segreetes and Whiskey”
reprise by 1972 SGA president
Gail Knierian and 1973 MRA
president, Linda Ehrlich.
Lynn McArthur, Patrice
Bare and Elizabeth Welch
followed the Bathtub Ring
singing several “old” favorites.
Stewart, who retired last
year as custodian of Jones
i uditorium, was invited to
close the entertainment with
one verse of “How Great Thou
Art”.
