Another hectic week is underway. After reading the copy Monday afternoon, they must spend two to three hours on Monday night assisting with layout. On Wednesday, the schedule picks up once again, with the morning dedi cated to proofmg the paper and mak ing necessary changes A staff meeting is held on Friday to discuss preparations for the next issue. This is the schedule that Beth Blan kenship and Cynthia L. Church follow weekly as co-editors of Meredith Col- lege's'nwspaper. The Twig. Not only do they have responsibilities as co editors. but they also have the respon sibilities of writing editorials, attending weekly meetings, and coping with a normal load of studies as seniors. They hope this hectic schedule will soon end with the publication of The A/w TH'/gwhen. as they both explain, *^ve will be editors for the first time.” The first issue of The New Twig is to be published Nov. 25. The new paper will be more visually attraaive because of a new layout and style.. As co editors. Blankenship and Church want the paper to be more respected and more informative. • They also want to change the pap er’s name. Some may ask. “Why change the traditional name after so long?" As'Church explains,'‘‘There’ 4 Nbvember25.19M ■s Beth Blankenship comes a time when you have to grow and The Twig has outgrown its name. We are no longer something small or something to be stepped on.“ She also added. “For years it has lived up to its current name, something small and puny. No one has respected or appre ciated it. It has been insignificant. A new name will represent what it is — a bearer of important news." Both co-«ditors have put much time and e^'ort into producing The New Twig. As Blankenship expresses her enthusiasm. “I’m excited. It's some thing that we’ve foreseen for a long time and its finally becoming a reality." Blankenship and Church have mbi% Cynthia L. Church in common than being co-editors. Before they became involved with the paper, they were friends. They feel their decision to run as co-editors has been beneficial. “We give each other a lot of support." they both explain.

One difference is evident in their writing Blankenship is a conservative writer; Church tends to be more liberal. ^ Both enjoy sports and outdoor activ ities.
