Living off campus approved for seniors
by Cyrtthla Church
A limited number of rising senlcra
wrtll be penmitted to live off-carr^s dur
ing the 1985-86 school year.
"Because we are over-housed next
year we have decided to let a maximum
of fifteen students life off-campus," said
Dean Dorothy Sizemore.
Sizemore added that because Mere
dith is a "residential college" the off-
campus decision is made on a yeiaiy ba-
sis. If the college did allow any number
of students to live off-campus, the cost
of housing would increase.
Rising seniors will receive a letter
from Dr. Sandra Thomas explaining the
process to follow w^n applying to live
off-campus.

Cosmic Breadsticks: Success!
by Zen Bunn
For those who do not know what a
“Cosmic Breadstick” Is, tieiow Is a list of
the qualifications: You must be a Mere
dith angel, be able to dance, be able to
lip sync, and must be able to do "the
Bird”! If you’re still in the dark, the Cos
mic Breadsticks are the hottest lip sync
group to hit Raleigh in 1985!
The “Cosmic Breadsticks” are four
Meredith Angels, Lori Dowdy, Karen
"Buzze” Mann, Daiinda Dunn, and Becky
Smith, who imitate Morris Day and the
Time performing ‘‘The Bird". A popular
question asked Is, “How do four white
girls transform themselves into four
black men?” According to Lori Dowdy
(Morris Day), the Breedstl^s started
with the purchase of their costumes from
Goodwill. But clothing and shoes were
only the beginning. Further transforma
tions were made possible through dark
foundation makeup applied to hands and
faces. Wigs also added to the convincing
appearance. But most importantly, act
ing is the key to the success of the
Breadsticks- and do they ever perfomi!
Time spent watching the video was time
well spent. Finally practice, practice,
practice made them perfect.
The Breadsticks debuted at the
Meradith Sync Contest on February
&, 1'985-and they won first place and
$100.00. Next, they w^ the featured en
tertainment at Stunt ‘85 on Fetjruary 20.
The crowd really enjoyed them but Stunt
was only the thinning. It was on this
same night that the Cosmic Breadsticks
performed in their first appearance In the
Fen^i’s -GIGS Lip Sync Contest. The
criteria for judging were lip sync ability,
crowd response, and originality. The
Breadsticks dazzled the audience and
impressed the judges as they won, and
beat the three bands perfonnlng in this
prelininary competition. Ti^eir win en
abled them to appear on Friday, March 15
in the semifinal competition.
Once again there was an awesome
turnout of support from Meredith for the
Breadsticks. Once again they performed
t^itiantiy. Ar>d orwe again they won! I
They were on their way to the f I nalsl
The finals occunKi on Wednesday.
March 20 and Ferrari's was jam packed.
Meredith Angels were everywtiere. The
stage was set. By luck of the draw, the
Cosmic Breadsticks perfoimed first. A
group of guys from Duke, also also doirig
“The Bird”, were second. They were fol
lowed by Rat, Van Haien. and the Chip
munks.
The Breadsticks were a hard act to
follow. The crowd favorites seemed to be

Smith. i
and Van Halen. It was going to be close
because the crowd had been treated with
five very good acts. However, fifteen jud
ges retumed their ballots and the crowd
waited for the announcement of the re
sults. Third place went to the Chip
munks. Second place M«nt to The Tyme
The moment the audience h^b$w '
waiting for ~ first place went to
dith's own Cosmic Braadstlcksll They
won the contest and S^.OO
Lori, Daiinda, Buzze^ and Becky
would like to thank all tt>ose at Meredith
who went to Ferrs^’s and supported
them. They would also like to thank the
faculty and staff who supported them.
They would also like to thank 3rd Fair-
cloth for the use of tf^r parlor as a
“practice stage".
When asked wtiether their act would
continue, Daiinda Dunn said she was un
sure. did say that supporters have
suggpsted they be on “Puttin’ on the
Kits.” The financing of this trip could
promote a problem; however, Dunn said
athat she fdt supporters would do every
thing possible to fund the trip. Dunn said
that they may write or call for information
about how to be on the show.
