Campus News Notes Volleyball has successful season THE FIRST OFFiaAL SURVEY OF THE STUDENT JOB MARKET SHOWS THAT MANY EMPLOYERS DO INTEND TO INCREASE CAMPUS RECRUITINQ THIS YEAR. The College Placement Council, in the first scientific sun/ey of the season, found a majority of the 443 firms It asked expected to hire more college grads this year than last year. Last year was generally conceded as the worst student job market since World War II. Firms expected to hire 19 percent more business grads, 21 percent more engineering grads and 20 percent more “non-technicai” grads. But it’s no boom, )he Council warned. Instead, '‘it may mean a return to a nonnai lev^ of hiring." THERE ARE MORE INEF- FECVVE STANDARDIZED TEST COACHING COURSES THAN EFFECTIVE ONES, SAY THREE U. OF MICHIGAN RE SEARCHERS WHO ANALYZED SCORES OF PEOPLE WHO TOOK DIFFERENT COURSES. They found “the effect of taking a simple practice exam” is "surprisingly strong,” and that practice and a coaching course could help push scores up an average 11 points. But most coaching, claims are inflated, especially for the S.A.T., add Robert Bangert- Drowns, James Kuilk and Chen- Lln Kulik, the researchers.

Inc Haidee^ The Meredith Volleyball team finished this season with a successful record of 25-7. This year’s team continued the winning ways of last year to gain two consecutive 20 win seasons. The Meredith team had only 4 losses corning Into the last week of play but lost their final two rTBtches. Despite the losses, Dr. Chambiee felt the team had played well. '‘Our final match was wMh the No. 1 team in the Dixie conference. Greensboro College has one of the most potent offenses of any team we play. We played ex tremely well; It was a very well played matc^ by both teams. "Hie match was one of the rrrost intense and exciting of the year." “The final .score of the games indicate this: 10-15; 15- 11; 8-15; IM'4; 15-12." All the games were close; the match lasted over 2 hours. It was the longest match we’ve played this year. We played offensively and defensively as well as they did, but poor serving in the final game cost us the match. Ginger Ratcliff played one of her best matches of the year, as the team usually says - “She was awesome" according to Dr. Chambiee. The seniors, Lynn Ward, Ginger Ratcliff, Grace Akers,, and manager Jil Humberger, were recognized for their contri bution to the team over the past four years. Each was presented with silk roses from Dr. Cham biee. These players have amassed the most successful . record of any group of players at Meredith. The coaches credit them with being the nucleus of the team. "They have provided the leadership, enthusiasm, In tensity, and desire which are- necessary to both win and play well consistently. Ginger and Lynn are outstanding hitters and lead the team in spiking. Ging^ always plays well. She can get everyone else on the team going. She's the most consistent and enthusiastic player on the team. Lynn has had an oustanding senior sea son. Lynn's play has been Im peccable, especially for the last month. She has really come on strong. Grace is an excellent setter and has been team setter for four years. Grace gets to a lot more than many' setters; when she is on, she can be ex tremely effective. The volleybal I team capped their season by winning the Salem College Invitational Toumament. They won 4 matches and lost 1. Meredith defeated Montreat-Anderson College In the finals; 15-10; 15- t3. Ginger Ratcliff led the team during the first match. Due to an Injury during this match, she could not play the rest of the toumament. According to Coach Chambiee, “Losing Ginger was a very tough set back for us; by losing our middle hitter we had to change the entire line-up. The team pulled together and came through during the next mat- hes. Susan Beck, a freshman, filled in and played extremely well. Dallnda Dunn was moved to middle hitter and played the t)est ever. The tournament win was a proper end to a successful sea son. The Meredith Volleyball Team will graduate three st«irters but return three sophomores starters next year: Dallnda Dunn, Paulina Leroux, and Nancy Ratcliff. Freshmen Susan Beck and Karen Mann as well as juniors Nicole Harmon and Lyn Walter will help us next y^.
