Cafeteria changes,
improvements welcomed
On most college campuses, including Meredith, cafeteria food
is most often criticized. In Meredith’s cafeteria this year, several
changes have taken place to improve the quality of the service for
students.
ProtaWy the rrx)st exciting change is the addition of soft
drinks to the cafeteria. Although cups are no longer allowed In the
dining hall because of the change, the soft drinks are well worth
it. A variety of beverages usually makes a cafeteria more ap>
pealing to all.
Another change is the new entrees which have been added to
the menus. Students have more options to choose from this year
with the addition of entrees such as Mexican pizza and eggplant
lombardi. And r>ot only is the change in entrees good, but the
quality of ttie food has also improved.
Students should take note of these changes and give praise
wtiere praise is due. Also, cor>stnjctive criticism is a good way to
let your fe^ings be known to the cafeteria staff. Remember: the
cafeteria pn>bably will not cfiange unless you let your opinions on
the service be known.
Senior convocation uninspiring
MLS
To the Editor:
Traditionally, one of the
highlights of the first week of
classes at Meredith is our
opening convocation, and as a
Senior, I entered Jones
Auditorium last Monday
momir>g expecting my final
opening convocation to be filled
v^th traditional Meredith In-
[^ration. Unfortunately, I en
countered an uninspiring, hour-
long fiasco.
TTw organ music, the faculty
procession, and the featured
speaker's topic were ail quite
impressive; however. Dr. Jean
Friedman’s classroom style
lecture on the foundations of
Southern womaihood w^
anything but motivating. I am of
the opinion that Scarlett
O’Hara’s rebuilding of Tara took
great courage, cunnir>g, and
strength vtrhich she gained from
her beliefs In God and family. It
is quite obvious to those of us
who attend a Southem Baptist
VM>men’$ institution of higher
Thanks to
an advisor
After serving as Information
Servtees Director for 13 yews,
BUI Norton left Meredith on
September 2 for a new position
with the North Carolina United
Methodist Confer»x».
Mr. Norton also senred as
{dvisor \oThe Twig most of his
tinfte at Meredith. We are fort
unate that he always took the
tinw to answer questions and
give advice wh^ problems
£Tose. Never did he complain
about the demands taken on his
time.
He also went the extra mile
In his job as Director of In-
ormation Services. Not only did
he handle news releases and
coordinate the printing of
College publicatlor\s, but he
also was the official college
photographer during his stay
here. Tfwks to Mr. Norton, 13
years of our history have been
faithfully recorded in excellent
photographs.
Mr. Norton wlli be a loss not
only to The Twig txjt for the
entire college.. It will be hard to
flrtd someorw as talented to fill
so many positk>ns. We wish Bill
lud( in ail his endeavors and
tfiank him for his role in im-
ppovlrtg t)w quality of publi-
,cat)ot>s at Mei^lth.

Cancer strikes 120,000 people in our work force

learning that we have come a
very long way since our an
cestors were dl^layed as
property and stifled Irv
tellectually. Dr. Friednw of
fered no hope for the future
methods with which to cope
with the past.
After a reasonable round of
applause and Dr. Carothers’
benediction, many of the
students began to leave before
the faculty recessional. This
chaotic scene created a
question; Did not anyone in
form the freshman about
FMOtocol for this event? 1 hope
that in the future freshmen will
be instructed on at least a few
more Meredith traditions.
In closing, I would like to
thank the Convocation Corr»-
mittee for a very decent effort-
many of the disappointing
factors were out of their con
trol. I hope my constructive
criticism will be takeri in just
that manner.
