On February 27, forget your
diet and help celebrate Meredith's
Charter Centennial.
Meredith's Charter Centennial
birthday cake will be cut on
February 27 at 11:00 am in Johnson
Hall's Rotunda. If you are used to
Belk Dining Hall's monthly
birthday cakes, you are in for a
surprise. Those regubr cake slices
with awesome chocolate icing
are always devoured by 5: IS p.m.
but this birthday cake will feed
2,000 people and is five times
lai;ger than the usual cakes.
The giant double layer yellow
cake with vanilla icing is equal in
size to four dining room table
tops. Meredith's logo, in mauve
and gray, will be formed from
two additional layers in the lower
left corner of the cake. The
centennial slogan will be written
across the bottom.
President John Weems will
cut the birthday cake at 11:00 am
and students and alumnae will
step in to help with slicing duties
until 3:00 pm.

How many times does one
have the chance to talk on the
phone for three hours and get
paid for doing it? This past month,
fromjanuary 15 through February
10, 16 Meredith students have
been taking this opportunity.
Every Sunday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday evening from 6:15-
9:00, girls have been calling
parents and alumnae, asking them
to accept the Centennial Challenge
of a $100 donation. The money is
pledged toward the General
College Fund and the new Hubert
Ledford Building.
This activity replaces the
previous yeai^' phonathon, where
volunteers were recruited fordass
competitions. This year the
Alumnae Association is
hiring students at $3.80 per
hour to call prospective
donors. When asked about
this new method of
conducting the phonathon,
Rebecca Askew of the
Department of Annual
Giving replied, “I like using
paid callers because they
are more efficient and we
don't have to retrain a new
set of callers each night"
Studsnts an paid l^sht Alumnae Association
