[Walker photo] — — New Face In Brewer Hall by Renee Bond Patty Vipperman Is a new addition to the rank of angels of Brewer Residence Hall, serving as the new Residence Advisor. Patty, one of seven children, was born In Qermmy^ Although having lived In such places as Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where she attended high school, she now calls Raleigh t»ome.

She' Is not only the Freshman Class Advisor but Is training for Legislature Board and is working on a proiect coming up In the future. It seems Patty feels right at home here at Meredith — Welcome Pattyl Through Knowledge Power • the English translation of the Greek words Delta Mu Delta Is shared and appreciated by all the members of the business honor society. The words are a goal to achi^and succeed In today’s business world. On November 5, Delta Mu Delta held its formal Induction ceremony at the Downtown Holiday Inn. The club's guest speaker at the ceremony, Mrs. Mary DIener, knows what it means to both achieve and succeed In business. She says about herself, "If It has to do with small business, I've got either my feet or my fingers in It,” Mrs. DIener, well-known In business councils throughout the U.S. and the world, is president of her own small business, DIener and Associates, a management, educational, and promotional consulting firm. She spoke to the club membera about our changing business workt and how women are adjusting to It. The socialization process has made roles of men and women different -since 'ihe beginning of time. Women have moved from the role of housewife to executive, and the adjustment has made women their own /rorst enemies due to stereotypes and the way they perceive their position In society. Women look for and find discrimination tactics In business because of guilt complexes. They are trying to find someoneeiseon whom to place the guilt. Mrs. DIener emphasized that women must realize discrimination exists tOMQrd men as well as women. They must "come out of their protective cocoons to see that the business world may not be nice to either men or women." To be a tme success as a woman in business, says Mrs. DIener, we must expect to be judged as a man with no special favors or handouts. We should expect raises based on merit and not ttecause a token woman is needed in executive circles. We must set priorities and goals that give us a purpose every day for going to work and pursuing a career. The evening was concluded with the Installation of new Delta Mu Delta members: Carol Lynn Alien, Denise Biccum, Betsy Boswell, Lajra Crumpler, Suzanne Sprlngston, LisaWarlick, and Mrs. Mary Diener, as an honorary member. Other inductees that were not present at the ceremony are; Linda Stowltts, Maggie Thomas, Ms. Bern Shuey, and Ms. Penny Scott. Students Discover Career ‘Options’ Many Auditions for Next ‘meredlth Performs’ Play by Unda Sellers About 65 represeritatlves from various companies and organizations were on campus Wednesday, November 10, for Career Day. Weatherspoon Gym was the site for the event sponsored by Career Services, which was titled “Options ’82”. According to Mrs. Bartara Mutschler from the Office of Career Services, the attendance was probably the best ever seen at a Career Day on the Meredith campus. "We pumped up 650 balloons and they were gone," she said. She estimated that besides the upperclassmen, about 70 freshmen attended the event. Some of the representatives also visited classrooms during the day, telling students about career opportunities. Anv^g those representatives were several Meredith graduates. One of these graduates was Emily Johnson, now Director of the Legal Assistants Program at Meredith. She said that about 10 to 15 people stopped by her booth in the gym during the day. Most asked questions about the program and its courses, how to prepare for the program, and “an occasional question ^ut the job market.” Among the students who attended Career Day was Amy Avery, ajunlor. "I came to find out some things I can do vtrlih my English major," she said. Senior Lori Howell also had the future In mind. “Hopefully, I’ll begettlngajob with somebody In the next six to eight months," she said. "This has opened my eyes to the different companies that are out there.” Two freshmen that attended were Mary Lynn Purcell and Michelle Cherry. Mary Lynn said she came "out of curiosity.” Michelle added, “Even though I’m a freshman, I came to see what it was like.” [Continued on Page 4] by Kim Lett It’s 7; 00 on a Wednesday night and people are arriving to audition for Meredith’s next production, "Under Milk Wood” by Dylan Thomas. Sitting in the back of the Studio Theatre, I watch the people begin to look over the script and ask questions. It anrtazes me that all of these people are brave enough to read for a part despite the fact that many of them have n««r before seen the script! KathI Lamb, the director explains that the play is set In a small Welsh town where characters Interact from dawn until dusk on a single spring, day. The play, originally written for radio. Includes around sixty parts. Some of the scenes are extremely humorous, and others are rDore dramatic. With this small amount of knowledge, the intrepid auditloners are ready to read. They read any and every part'-whatever Kathi suggests. Suddenly, the room is filled with a more-or-tess convincing Welsh accent. Readers sigh with exasperation when a part Is not performed to th^r liking. Chuckles abound when parts are funny or completely at odds with a reader’s own personality. As the auditions proceeds, we meet these characters: an old and blind sea-captain who can’t stop remembering a lon^ead sweetheart, whose name is tatooed on his belly; the hen-pecked husband who longs to poison his wife, “remembers ground glass as he juggles his onrtelet" and secretly reads The Lives of the Greet Poisoners; a compulsively immaculate housewife who wams her husband “Before you let the sun In, mind it wipes its shoes"; a lyrical parson; a promiscuous woman’s lament for the midget she loved best; and a daft fellow who keeps sixty-six clocks ticking in his house at all times. Throughout the course of the trial-and-error readings, performances become steadily more convincing. It's am«eing how quickly the readers bring the written play to life. Finally, the cast is chosen. An ensemble of readers will [Continued on Page mm I¥ews Inside - First floors cry for mercy! - Holidays are occasions for hypocricy. - We’re got “ring around the bathtub."
