Services expanded at Cate JANUARY 31, 1980 THE TWIG PAGE 3 In hopes of bringing more student interest to Cate Center, six student workers have been hired to expand on services offered after the regular hours of the Cate staff. These students, hired in December, are available for information and to check out recreational equipment. They are also responsible for ticket, sales. According to Patrice Strifert, Director of Student Activities, the duty of these students is to “keep Cate as active as possible. They are here to help expand activities as well. They are sponsoring a macrame course and will sponsor pool and ping pong tournaments in the future.” The six students are: Sharon Davis, junior; Laney Hodge, sophomore; Truett Jordan, junior; Joni Parker, freshman; Teresa Parker, senior; and Susan Sherron, senior. Recreational equipment, such as pool cues and ball, can now be checked out by Meredith students with their student I.D.’s. The I.D.’s are held by the student workers until the equipment is returned. “This way we can charge the student if there is any breakage. However, we do not charge for use of the equipment,” Strifert ex plained. A pinball machine has also been installed as a source of revenue. Strifert said that she wants to develop more things to affect students’ leisure time in a recreational way. If the pinball machine and the tables are not utilized, and the evaluaticHi of the program at the end of the school year indicates lack of student interest, Cate may' go back to its previous recreational structure. For this reason, Strifert concluded, “I encourage students to use the services Cate provides.” 3^ tC£ Y&CLf ^CL/el^3fit!p£i£/ TXarynj - . yu/2/n, - . /CCJ&9U s^^/ilcees. syfc. ^ _ to /o y?^ku^/:Ai Cleo Perry (Photo by Lori Whittemore) Meredith Alumnae still active r »ji! hI in actionS Meredith student honored by Beth Giles Besides serving as a meeting place for clubs and lodging for Meredith’s guests, the Mae Grimmer Alumnae House serves as a contact point and liaison between the college and its alumnae. Mrs. Cleo Perry and her staff keep files on about 9000 alumnae, who live in 49 states and 45 foreign nations. She also visits North Carolina’s 32 Alumnae Chapters and 26 state chap ters. Special programs have been planned for the alumnae in the near future. “Meredith on the Road” is one such program in which a professor visits a chapter and teaches a course that offers continuing education credit. In June, “Holiday at College” will allow alumnae and their families to tour the campus, visit classes and take part in recreational activities. In cooperation with Career Services, a newsletter has been sent to alumnae offering job listings and graduate school information. Mrs. Perry said the newsletter received “very favorable responses” from the alumnae. The Meredith Alumnae Association holds its annual meeting near com mencement. At this time reunion classes hold special activities. The first reunion is held two years after graduation with the “little sister’’ class. Afterwards reunions are held every five years. The house is named after Mae Grimmer, the first director of the Alumnae Association. Ten years after the large meeting room was built, the two wings were added on. The many antiques were contributed by alumnae and classes. Many of the paintings are works of alumnae also. The large room has held such events from club meetings to weddings (such as Dr. Page’s). One of the most important aspects of Meredith alumnae is their loyalty of the continuance of tradition. CIRCLE K WEEK is coming up! What does that mean to a student in the Meredith community?

Silda is also now a member of the N.C. Historical and Literary Association. Silda chose Josephus Daniels as the topic of her paper, originally her term- paper for Dr. Frank Grubb’s research course, after reading a synopsis of Daniels’ life and learning that he had lived most of his life in Raleigh. He was founder and first editor of News and Observer, am bassador to Mexico, and secretary of the Navy under President Wilson. Daniel’s forceful, dynamic personality fascinated Silda. Although he never ran for public office, he was able to inject his personal policies into the American systeii). He remained firm in his beliefs and proved that democracy provides in dividuals with opportunities to influence society. Silda, who graduated in December, plans toattend law school.
