Daily d06cs of tragic headlines and
confusing news stories generate a very
real need information and emodonsil
support for the campus community.
The Division for Student Development
and various academic departments have
developed or are in ^e process of
developing several programs designed
to addi^ diose needs.
Suppm groups for individuals i^^o
have relathres, frtods, and loved ones
in the Middle East aie being fadUtated
by student and faculty vohifueers. These
groups wiU meet as often as the
naefflbership of the indhridual groups
desire. For further information, contact
Campus Minister Sam Carothers (8346)
or Campus Counselor Gina Roberts

For those who wish to "do
something” In response to ^e war!
several student groups are working
toother to organize campus-wide
projects. Events such as "Li^ts in the
Night," "Mideast Mailbag,” and the

sponsored by studeru groups. If you

Government President Nan Smith or
Memo to rising Juniors and seniors
from Dorothy Sizemore, Dean of
Students:
As you know, Meredith College
takes pride in and continues to support
its residential campus community. We
believe strongly in the importance of
building an academic community life at
Meredith, and feel strongly that the
residence life is very much a part of that
community. Our residence p>olicy to
date has been that students are required
to live in a residence hall on campus
unless permission is granted for them to
live in town with a relative, unless the
student is married, is at least 23 years of
age, or unless her dass has already
graduated.
Residential policy at Meredith has
been very imp>ortant for two reasons.
The first reason is the building and
maintaining for an academic community.
The second reason is that the Meredith
fees, tuition, room and board, are kept
as low as possible and are based upon
full residence halls on our campus.
Because Meredith has enjoyed full
enrollment for the past several years, an
off-campus option has been offered to
twenty-four seniors and twelve juniors
each spring.
After twelve junior and twenty-four
senior applications have been approved,
members of the Meredith Recreation
Assodation, Meredith Entertainment
Association, or Meredith Christian
Association.
Information sessions held over the
past several weeks provided students
with a more accurate understanding of
the war and its implications. Topics
included Selective Service/The Draft,
Consdentious Objector Status, and
History of the Mid^ East Additional
topics suggested are Culture andCustonu
ci tfie Mideast, Comparative Rel^ions,
Middle East Geography. Call the Office
of Student Activities for further
infomtation abo^upcoming information
sessions.
An advisory couocil of fooiHy and
staff meets periodically to assess the
needs of the Meredith community. The
Mideast Support Services Advisory
Council, coordinated by Gina Koberts,
can assist in locatii^ information and
resources needed u> address individual
and group needs. Members of the council
are Janice McClendon, CXive Taylor,
Marilyn Stuber, Carson Brisson, David
Heining-Boynton, Ben Judkins, Ruth
Balia, Ali^ McNeil and Debra Smith.
additional api^cations have been placed
